Found this windblown piece of paper pressed up against a cow in a tree somewhere in the Docklands:
“Possible Lineup 2013 Grand Final Entertainment”
Neil Young – The Needle and the Damage Done (AD – too obvious)
Roxy Music – I Love The Drugs (AD – see above)
The Verve – The Drugs Don’t Work (AD – too contemporary)
(AD) – How about we rebadge some old Aussie favourites ?
The Peptides (Riptides)
AOD9604 (MEO245)
Johnny Diesel and The Injectors (no change required)
(Paul Kelly and) The High Rise Bombers (ditto)
or those cute English girls ASADArama ?

Bob Dylan – Subcutaneous Homesick Blues
The Band – The Weight
Joe Tex – Ain’t Gonna Bump No More (With No Big Fat Bombers)
The Beatles – I Should Have Known Better
The Ramones (et al) – Needles and Pins
Or anything by
The Chemical Brothers

About Mark 'Swish' Schwerdt
Saw my first SANFL game in 1967 - Dogs v Peckers. Have only ever seen the Dogs win 1 final in the flesh (1972 1st Semi) Mediocre forward pocket for the AUFC Blacks (1982-89) Life member - Ormond Netball Club -That's me on the right

Great Stuff Swish I reckon about 2046 the jokes about Essendrugs wii finish
Go the Blacks the write up above about you should include Nippy Forward Pocket
Mark, edit the biog. I reckon I was at that Prelim – Centrals lost to Port after starting promisingly. The Casserley/Haughan/Morey etc team.
Thanks Crio, dumb typo on my behalf, that game was one that got away
why not have the Essendon team singing the club song – you know the one that starts – See the Bombers shoot up, up!
Found a second piece of paper woth more AD suggestions
Hendrix – Hey Jobe
Needle Diamond could do Sweet Caro-line
Morrissey – Interesting Drug
Go-Betweens – Apology Accepted
Split Enz – My Mistake
Wonder if we could get Simply Redacted to come over as well ?
And it least it is comforting to know that they won’t resort to another rendition of “Holy Grail”, as the AFL would surely have enough imagination ot not go down that well trodden path, wouldn’t they.
I’d bring back the 1982 pre-game entertainment …
Maybe James and friends could do a rendition of “I fought the law and the law won”
For older Almanackers attending the GF:
The Beatles – A Day in the Life (aka ‘Danks theme’). I read the news today, oh boy….I’d love to tuurrrn yoouu onnnn….
Bob Hope – Danks for the memory
Buddy Holly – I guess it doesn’t matter anymore
