I would be OK if its once every few years, but not sure why we need to spend big $'s every year
The AFL have this unhealthy fascination that people watch the AFL for the pre game and half time entertainment. For me, this is when I take off for a beer and a kick of the footy with mates. For those at the game, they also tend to make themselves scarce too.
This is why the AFL want the game under lights. For me, the game is the entertainment, not the artist they wheel out.
