I don't reckon that was luck. A well fought game, but the Lions dominated for much of it, poor kicking almost cost them but the Hawks were always chasing.
Disappointed by the Dogs result, poor game by them but great by Freo.
Toby Green was astounding in getting the Giants over the line.

AFL & NRL both have a habit of backing USA artists come GF day . Nice payday for the snoop.

I’m a slur merchant in need of a 2 mill payday.
Also, unlike Izak’s parents, my parents could spell.
Such concocted drama!!!! from the media when there isn’t an impending weather event.
ps. good point about imported artists

Whilst I don't think the AFL publicly say this, their selection of an artist for GF entertainment is far less about appeasing their local audience, and far more about generating news stories internationally to draw attention to the game. They obsess over any US media attention and hold it up like a badge of honour.

Regardless, on the day the pre-game entertainment for any genuine footy fan is the most insignificant part of the day. It gets too much discussion for what is a very forgetful 15 minutes in the sun on a small stage in the middle of a massive stadium (and yes, I've just added to the discussion). Anyone who's been to a gig will understand in comparison just how shit the atmosphere is when the artists come on at the MCG. Everyone just sits and watches quietly, with some mild clapping as they depart.

dunno, but he's pretty shit musically.. has flow, but so does everyone.. he just happened to sit betwixt waves of good rap artists and have the stamina keep going. Like the Eskimo Joe of Cali rap. his renaissance is pretty funny, I'm laying the blame for it with menulog. Anyone know anyone who went to see Tyler the Creator (kanye 2.0) ?

He’s been labeled homophobic recently after his comments on a disney kids movie. I would say it’s more of a case of poor parenting skills. Make of it what you will. I was surprised that he was chosen as GF entertainment, doesn’t come across as a popular choice with the wider audience he will be performing too . https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/music/articles/snoop-dogg-exposed-ho...

I'm with DX3. Who gives?Snoop or KT Perry, they are selling burgers, let them play footy. The u19's, Reserves and AFLW as curtain raisers. Mike Brady and Mark Seymour will get rolled out, all will be good. Angry Anderson and the bat mobile anyone?
