I'm not against the dogg, but equally, I do find it a bit peculiar that the AFL is an organisation that fines people $20,000 for saying c0cksucker, pretending to be an aeroplane, or calling someone black, yet they then go and give $8m to a bloke who doesn't have a single song without the word n!gger in it; actively promotes drug use and gang violence. He's also been charged with murder, albeit he got off, and has been accused of homophobia in the past.

Like I said, I don't have a problem with him, but given the AFL's constant virtue signalling, their willingness to turn a blind eye to Snoop's questionable antics does the AFL no favours.

I heard a discussion on the radio today about Snoop Dogg at the GF. Pretty much all the callers couldn't see the relevance. One suggestion was to get a covers band, specifically Hindley Street Country Club, to do a selection of the goal celebration songs that seem to have infested the telecasts over the last year or two. I'd rather that than US ghetto tunes.

Has Paul Kelly ever done the GF? Leaps and Bounds would be a perfect song

The Smith Street Band, from Melbourne, have a few footy related songs, but unfortunately will never get on.
I know Smith Street is one of your favourites like me (unfortunately missed them recently) and I know you've mentioned them on here before (I searched it and thought it was last year but it was in 2023), they would be great and easy being from Melbourne plus Wil is a big Collingwood supporter. They're actually playing an East Coast Aus tour starting in September and are playing in St Kilda the night before the GF.

Another of my favourites that I thought could of been an option is Hilltop Hoods? Australian Hip Hop that is much less profound than Snoop Dogg. Might of been a good fit with them recently releasing a new album and coming second in the Triple J Hottest 100 of Australian Songs? I would love to know if the guys were approached to do it if they're available?

The Living End to a lesser extent who also have an upcoming album release but they're probably not big enough like Smith Street.

In saying all that though I don't have an issue with Snoop Dogg and he is a big headline act for the AFL to get.

Loved Snoop Dogg as a teenager but like others not sure that his a great fit for the grand final.

Being pedantic i think the AFL GF is one of the biggest days on the Aussie calendar and is icon Australia. I would love to see an all Aussie line up.... for less than the cost of snoop dogg im sure they could do a great aussie extravaganza that included something for everyone with the likes of.......

Ill watch and ill probably enjoy. No doubt there will be some shizzle with his nizzle and the crowd will be hanging their scarves only from the left side

However its not going to be on the same level as his half time superbowl show so i can see many disapointing.

As mentioned in previous posts I do agree it seems a massive disconnect for Australia's biggest sporting event neverminded the contradictory nature of the AFL being the morale beacons of life to then employee this bloke. I guess we are lucky Port arent playing in the GF otherwise Willie may have been caught puff puff giving in the changerooms pre game.
