The Lion who scored a perfect 10 – and the Docker who scored just one: AFL grand final player ratings
With minutes to go, Fremantle looked to have secured their first-ever AFL premiership. The Lions stopped them cold. Who soared and who flopped, on the AFL’s biggest stage?
Kylie Minogue dazzled over 100,000 fans at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) for the AFL Grand Final pre-game entertainment. The 20-minute set was filled with hits, costume changes, and aerial performances. Opening with a video package, Minogue paid homage to her younger self and the upcoming match. She performed a range of hits from her 30-year career, including "Can't Get You Out of My Head" (2001) and "Padam Padam" with G Flip.
The set took a dramatic turn when Kalkadunga songman William Barton joined Minogue on stage to play guitar for her 1994 track "Confide in Me." To end the night, Minogue emerged from a bedazzled football, spinning around the stadium and finishing with a performance of "Can't Get You Out of My Head." While the performance was centered on Minogue, G Flip also made a significant contribution with their ARIA-nominated hit "Bed on Fire." The entertainers managed to fill the 20-minute set to the brim, leaving fans eager for more.
