There have been some legendary AFL grand final pre-game performances over the years, and some… less so, but 2021's somewhat mismatched group of Aussie talent has hit the right notes.
Centred around Western Australian-based artists, the judging eyes of thousands were on Perth Stadium — but considering the venue for the grand final was only confirmedAs a matter of tradition, after the Welcome to Country from Dr Richard Walley, the crowd sang along to Up There Cazaly with Mike Brady, who made a virtual appearance from locked-down Melbourne.
There was an element of confusion when the camera zoomed in on Yolngu artist Baker Boy while a caption saying "Kylie Minogue" flashed across the bottom of the screen — but the mash-up of Spinning Around and Meditjin quickly got the on-field party started. Stella Donnelly, Donna Simpson and Vikki Thorn of The Waifs, Gina Williams and Guy Ghouse all jumped in to help with the stadium-wide sing-along, before Eskimo Joe launched into their hit Black Fingernails Red Wine.

My 75 year old mum liked the pastel shades of his back up dancers’ trackies too.
He aced his performance, nailed the dance moves and rocked the tracksuit.

Sorry ABC, the winner was Penrith Panthers, sadly. I'm still getting over Melbourne Storm getting beat. At least we had a main event in Brisbane. Whole lot better then the second rate AFL Grand Circus we had last year!!
They didn't win the GF, but a wonderful, amazing performance! Absolutely amazing! Definitely much, much better than the traumatic experience of 'Meatloaf', by a 1000000 country miles!!!
