In 2002, John Schumann sang a couple of songs, but Victoria Horgan sang the National Anthem.

That list would be Exhibit A in my case to put an end to this sort of pre-game palaver. I'd rather see a long-kicking contest.

1986: Peter Cupples

I actually watched this the other day. He did an 80's soft rock version of Road To Gundagai - truly appalling.

One of the more memorable Grand Final appearances - Jackie Love - check out Laurie Argent and Rick Kinnear in it :



...and then singing:

[Harry the Horse]

Remember those legs of Jackie Love's very well.
I went on a South Pacific cruise last year and she was one of the guest entertainers!
