The GFC —global financial crisis, NOT Geelong Football Club — is set to have a major effect on the last Saturday in September. As part of AFL budget cuts, 'entertainment' will be curtailed.
Given the paucity of real entertainment delivered at the 2008 Grand Final 'entertainment', one can only wonder if someone is checking Angry Anderson's diary for that weekend.
Memo, Andrew: We do not HAVE TO slavishly ape the NFL with its half-time 'spectacular'. Instead, what about, oh I don't know, a. . . . . . footy match? If not the TAC Cup Grand Final, then a match between two teams of All-Stars selected from teams not involved after week one of the finals.
Anyway, this news serves to illustrate that, within every dark cloud (GFC), a silver lining (reduced Grand Final 'entertainment) can be found!!
