'Sucked in beautifully': Neale, Lions goaded into two off-ball frees, then tries to win one himself

Well done Gillon McLachlan and the AFL; you are officially are out of touch with what is popular these days.
We have gone from Ed Sheeran to Bryan Adams to Ellie Goulding to The Killers to… Jimmy Barnes?
Jimmy Barnes has been a fantastic performer for so long at big events, but it is 2018 – and that is something the AFL need to get their heads around.
Gang of Youths are the biggest Australian band in the world right now, they won seven ARIA Awards last year for their phenomenal album Go Farther in Lightness. Rumours of The Black Eyed Peas would be a bad decision financially for the AFL.
The Black Eyed Peas won’t be the same without Fergie fronting them, and will.i.am would not make the trip to Australia for a weekend.
Last time will.i.am was in Australia, he spent four months as a judge on The Voice.
This is why the NRL is fantastic with Good Charlotte, Slash, Myles Kennedy and Macklemore – all being great additions to their Grand Final performances.
The AFL need to take a leaf out of the NRL’s playbook and spend some money to get an international act making waves in music right now as the headline act.
Imagine how much bigger the pre-game and the premiership party post-game performances will be; last year The Killers attracted over 15,000 at their premiership party.
The AFL need to have a good hard look at themselves regarding performers, and need to up their game.
Gil should probably go to the Super Bowl and get some ideas on who would be perfect to perform in front of 100,000 people on the last Saturday in September.

Diplomatically answered, Darcy!
For all the pomp and circumstance that surrounds the now-traditional Anzac Day clash at the MCG, there has been one thing conspicuously lacking over…
Instant classic!
Does he have a point?
Old mate summing it up better than anyone possibly could!
