AFL grand final tomorrow

There is a football game on tomorrow but before that is the pre-match entertainment.

The AFL Grand Final entertainment will include star acts from the recent Countdown Spectacular, a two-time Grammy and Academy Award winner and
contestants from Australian Idol.


The line-up will include six Australian music icons as well as international star Irene Cara while the pre-match ceremony will recognise the 2006 Australian Hall of Fame
inductees.

Australian acts John Paul Young, Sean Kelly, Daryl Braithwaite, Shane Howard, Brian Mannix and Joe Camilleri will be joined by Cara and the Young Divas with Cara to perform her smash hit What a Feeling.


The 2006 Australian Idol finalists will perform Waltzing Matilda while the Young Divas will sing You're the Inspiration. The club songs will then be performed by
the Melbourne Gospel Choir while the Australian rock legends will perform both a
medley of hits and Advance Australia Fair.


Daryl Braithwaite and Brian Mannix will be the highlights for me, but it will be sensational to see the Australian Idol singers as well.

I know I will be singing along.

Which footy team do you support Whitey?

I'm guessing one for the battlers like Footscray or Geelong?

(Probably not Melbourne - that'd be Ron Walker's team most likely ;-(

Whitey's a smart chap so he'd back a successful side - that rules out the doggies or the cats.

I reckon he'd back Essendon - although they had a one off bad year they're well organised, efficient, talented, just like Whitey.

Clear he wouldn't back old, slow, talentless sides like Carlton, or mergers waiting to happen like North and the Hawks

thanks for those kind words Andrew...

but seriously whitey, many elderly Victorians are retiring to Tasmania when they get too old and doddery to be functional in real world. Could you advise me if there are any coaching jobs vacant down there? It's not for me, it's for a friend

I have always found football teams too expensive to support.

I will stick to my well-known love of the arts.

I might be able to get your friend a job as a public servant.

The Grand Final entertainment is a a bit of a Tasmanian theme - stuck in the 1970s and 1980s.
