Has the AFL Grand Final act been leaked? Huge US rock band with controversial lead singer rumoured to be playing at this year's event
The 2025 AFL Grand Final is set to kick off on September 27, and the highly anticipated entertainment for the sporting event may have just been leaked.
According to 104.7 Triple M star Mark 'Roo' Ricciuto, whispers in AFL circles suggest the Foo Fighters is the top billing for the event.
'A little birdie let it slip to me in AFL circles the last couple of days that the Foo Fighters might be the entertainment in 2025,' he said on Wednesday.
'Now it's not a done deal. I haven't investigated... This is not 100% but it's a bloody good chance.'
Roo's co-stars did their own digging, with Chris 'Ditts' Dittmar and Laura 'Loz' O'Callaghan sharing their own theories on why they think the Foo Fighters will be coming to town.

'The Foo Fighters are going to be playing the Singapore Grand Prix a week after the Grand Final. So they're in the region,' Loz said.
'Then they're going to be doing a world tour [later this year].'
Loz then pointed to UK megastar Robbie Williams playing the AFL Grand Final in 2022 to push ticket sales for his XXV Tour that same year.
An AFL Grand Final performance and subsequent world tour will be a change of pace for Foo Fighters frontman Dave, 56, who has recently been making headlines for all the wrong reasons.
Dave landed in hot water with wife Jordyn Blum when it was revealed he welcomed a love child with Jennifer Young, a 38-year-old LA-based, Florida-born rock-and-roll fan in August last year.
The following month, he posted a public mea culpa admitting to his affair.
However, it would seem Dave and Jordyn, who share three daughters together, are attempting to make their marriage work, as they were spotted on a family outing together in May as they celebrated Jordyn's 49th birthday.
It marked the first time the family had been seen together following Dave's affair bombshell.
A source told US Weekly in March the couple are giving their 22-year marriage another go.
They said: 'Jordyn has forgiven Dave and is trying to move on. She is [still] completely devastated by the situation but is standing by his side.
'They are going to counselling, and Dave has been doing anything he can to win back Jordyn's trust. Neither of them wants the family broken.'
Jennifer was confirmed to be the mother of Dave's child in February, Page Six reported.
Jennifer also confirmed to the outlet her baby was born on August 1, 2024, and she said Dave's last name is listed on the birth certificate.
She did not want to reveal their daughter's name, telling the outlet 'because there's some really angry fans,' adding that 'protecting her identity is really important'.
She lives with her mother in Los Angeles, and often takes their daughter for walks in their neighbourhood.
A source told People magazine in November 2024 that Dave is focused on working things out with Jordyn and their daughters, and that divorce is off the table.
The source said: 'He's no longer working with a divorce attorney and instead hoping to work things out with his wife.'
Another insider said he 'loves his family', noting he has 'been prioritising his family. He knows he messed up. It's one of those situations where you don't realise what you have done until you're about to lose it. He doesn't want to lose his family.'
Multiple sources have claimed Jordyn has known about the baby 'for a while', and said she is a 'great mum and very dedicated to their daughters'.
Jordyn and Dave share daughters Violet, 18, Harper, 15, and Ophelia, 10.
They were seen in the car together after Jordyn picked him up from an LA area home. Neither appeared to be wearing wedding rings at the time.

At Derby, The Blaze climbed to second with a seven-wicket win over Essex, who were bowled out for 104 before Kathryn Bryce saw her side home with an unbeaten 51 off 51 scorecards The Bears made a poor start after being put in by Somerset skipper Sophie Luff, losing Abi Freeborn and Issy Wong in the second over, and Davina Perrin in the fourth, with Mollie Robbins taking all three struggled to 73-5 at the halfway point of their innings but the visitors then lost Corney, who twisted her leg awkwardly while Kalis helped Harris add 44 for the sixth wicket before she was unluckily run out for 32 when Amanda-Jane Wellington deflected a straight drive by her partner into the stumps at the bowler's though, hit fours sixes and nine fours in her exhilarating 34-ball knock which came to an end when she was run out attempting a second run from the final ball of the innings. The Somerset run chase never really got going as Davis had Amelie Munday stumped for 19 and added the vital wicket of Fran Wilson, who gave a catch to mid-off after making 31 from 32 was the only other batter to reach double figures but had only made 13 when she gave a return catch to Hannah also removed Griffiths as Somerset slumped from 82-3 to 98-8 and pace bowler Wong finished the visitors off when Hannah Jones was caught at long-on at the start of the final over.

Conor Wallace is ready to ‘shoot for the stars' as he prepares for Dylan Colin fight
Conor Wallace will return to the ring this weekend to take on Dylan Colin as chief support to his stablemate Jai Opetaia vs Claudio Squeo in Australia. The Irish-born Aussie had a busy 2024, fighting three times. He outpointed Jerome Pampellone between two knockouts over Jack Gipp and Asemahle Wellem. Wallace has had a brief lay-off after having surgery on his hand but is happy for the time off and feels as though he will be back better than ever as he continues to rebuild from a loss to Leti Leti in 2021, which he avenged via knockout eighteen months later to get back on track. Wallace said: '[After a couple of hand surgeries] I've gone from strength to strength. Having that loss to Leti Leti - then rematching him and knocking him out is probably the best thing that could have happened. I got that loss out of the way, it made me hungrier. I wasn't an undefeated prospect anymore.' Dmitry Bivol vs Artur Beterbiev trilogy fight - with many top-ranked fighters waiting for their opportunity. Wallace is ranked number two by the IBF and number seven by both the WBC and WBO. He said the state of the division is frustrating for the top fighters at the moment due to the uncertainty surrounding the belts. But he doesn't want to focus on that - instead relishing the opportunity to fight again and stay ready for any opportunities that may come. He said, 'It's frustrating, we have done all this good work to get to number two in the IBF.' He added: 'It is what it is, all that stuff is out of my control. My job is to stay focused, and I've got a great team around me, and I'm happy to be given the chance to stay active' Having only fought in Australia so far, Wallace has gone through all the top opposition domestically at 175 lbs and is ready to take the next step to fight internationally because he has nothing left to prove at the national level. Wallace said: 'I can't get any higher [ranked] than I am without fighting an international opponent. I've taken the risk many times in Australia with Jack Gipp and even fought the South African guy [Asemahle Wellem]. I've got everything to lose and nothing to gain in those fights.' He continued: 'We are happy to go wherever for the big fights, we have done all the hard work to get into the position I am now, so the main thing is to beat whoever they put in front of me, and no matter where that is, we will go.' The Aussie said he will fight anyone to achieve his world title dream sooner rather than later, and is not overlooking Colin, but represents the next step on his journey to the top of the light-heavyweight division. Wallace said: 'My goal is to win a world title, and I'll fight whoever for that.' He added on his future: 'There is only so long you can wait. Hopefully, everything goes to plan. I'm not overlooking this opponent, but hopefully we can get through him, and hopefully we can get a big fight towards the end of the year. You've got to shoot for the stars.'

Ange Postecoglou breaks silence on Tottenham sacking after he was dismissed despite winning the club's first trophy in 17 years
Ange Postecoglou has broken his silence on his sacking by Tottenham after he was relieved as boss on Friday. 'When I reflect on my time as Manager of Tottenham Hotspur my overriding emotion is one of pride,' the Australian wrote in a statement shard by his representatives. 'The opportunity to lead one of England's historic football clubs and bring back the glory it deserves will live with me for a lifetime. Sharing that experience with all those who truly love this club and seeing the impact it had on them is something I will never forget. 'That night in Bilbao was the culmination of two years of hard work, dedication and unwavering belief in a dream. There were many challenges to overcome and plenty of noise that comes with trying to accomplish what many said was not possible. 'We have also laid foundations that mean this club should not have to wait 17 more years for their next success. I have enormous faith in this group of players and know there is much more potential and growth in them. 'I sincerely want to thank those who are the lifeblood of the club, the supporters. I know there were some difficult times but I always felt that they wanted me to succeed and that gave me all the motivation I needed to push on. It's important to acknowledge the hard working people at Spurs who gave me encouragement on a daily basis. 'And finally, I want to thank those who were with me every day for the last two years. A fantastic group of young men who are now legends of this football club and the brilliant coaches who never once doubted we could do something special. 'We are forever connected. Audere est Facere.'
