Fans let rip as Snoop Dogg AFL grand final rumour goes viral
In fact, AFL great Brendan Fevola said 'I can tell you 100 per cent' that Snoop Dogg — 'a bloke who's been banned from the country' — will be appearing at the AFL's showpiece event.
And 3AW host Ross Stevenson also said it had has 'been suggested' to him that the 53-year-old rapper was the chosen one, along with Dr Dre.
As the story went viral, fans reacted on social media with many, including Fevola, not happy.
'It will be an epic fail,' Fevola brutally declared on The Fox's Fifi, Fev & Nick, however, his co-host Fifi Box was not on board.
'I love Snoop. That excites me, but he doesn't ... I'm interested to see how that'll go on the day,' Box said.
Fevola: 'Not for me ... he's gonna have to smoke like a joint. He's gonna have to do some real radical stuff (to get the crowd going).
'But I just think it's a fail ... we did hear Foo Fighters. That would have been amazing. You want sing-along (songs). Kids aren't going to the MCG (for Snoop).'
Last year Katy Perry was considered a roaring success and fans were also blown away by high-energy acts in KISS and Robbie Williams in 2023 and 2022.
But the announcement of Snoop has also left fans cold, with many highlighting his reputation for drug use and misogynistic lyrics.
'I've kind of done everything I can to avoid exposing my kids to this culture, why do the AFL want to,' one fan said.
'AFL always respects women,' another said
And another: 'Embarrassing decision. He's terrible now. Australia is the only place that gives him the time of day. The Menulog GF. 🤦♂️.'
And another: 'Some dude well past his used by date ... Honestly Is there no current local band in these shores that could whip up a storm? This is the best we can do ???? AFL still haven't learnt their lesson from Meat Loaf.'
And another: 'Why does Meat Loaf immediately spring to mind?
And another: 'I love Snoop and have seen him live twice. Let me put it like this - if you are trying to get someone to rival Meat Loaf as the worst ever choice for GF entertainment, he is your man. PS. Do the AFL have any idea what he sings about? 😀'
While another said: 'Hope they can hand out enough weed so we can all enjoy the show🥴.'
And another: 'Seriously, AFL?? You couldn't actually find some real Aussie talent for the 2025 AFL Grand Final pre-game entertainment?? Typical ... 🙄.
The AFL did not confirm the Snoop Dogg story but said they were hoping to make announcement soon.
'The pre-game entertainment at the AFL grand final is always a talking point, and we're hoping to make an announcement shortly,' a spokesperson said.
'We are excited to deliver another world-class show in front of 100,000 fans at the MCG, and the millions more watching the broadcast ahead of the biggest game of the season.'

Inspiring acts why WAFL matters more than ever
Yes the AFL is the big show. The big game in town. It's polished and professional. But sometimes, the game we love can be a little bit out of reach — and that's where the WAFL comes in. There's a beautiful simplicity about the local league and it can remind you why you fell in love with footy in the first place. It's because you can bring the kids, spread out a rug, kick a footy at half-time, and let the afternoon roll by like 'the old days'. You can rock in right before bouncedown … no queues here and it costs only $20 or less (it's free at Good Grocer Park in East Fremantle). And guess what, if you get down near the fence you can actually hear the crunch of the tackles if that's what really gets your blood pumping. And during the breaks, you can see the veins in the coach's neck bulge as he's giving the forwards a spray. The best part? You can wander out on to the ground and have a kick with your kids. This isn't second-rate footy. It's football in its purest form. And the WAFL is played just how the founding fathers had dreamt it would be. Peel Thunder's Liam Reidy and Claremont's Oliver Eastland. Credit: Jackson Flindell / The West Australian There's no flooding. Less structure, with more one-on-one contests. Players going head-to-head all day long. It's a complete mano-a-mano contest. No ganging up on your opposition … it's like Jakovich v Carey, or Glass v Pavlich. The players are just like you and me, to some degree. They have real jobs — day jobs — or they're chasing a dream, many just playing for the love the game and a bit of extra coin. You can even chat to them in the club bar or in the carpark afterwards. And this isn't just about some Barra nostalgia trip. The standard of WAFL footy is bloody good and it's real and raw. AFL is the big time, and we love it. But WAFL, that's the heart and soul. So this weekend, grab a scarf, bring the kids. Eat a pie, have a beer and cheer on the Tigers, the Lions or my Demons from the fence. And remember what footy used to feel like … and what it can still be. It's about community — and nowhere was that clearer than on the weekend at Revo Fitness Stadium. On what was arguably the coldest and wettest day of the footy season, Claremont drew a crowd — not just to see dual Brownlow medallist Nat Fyfe make his WAFL return but for a Big Freeze fundraiser for Fight MND, held in honour of local dad Jordan Early.

West Coast AFLW coach Daisy Pearce — a seasoned slider — joined Eagles legend John Worsfold. Woosha dressed as tennis star Alicia Molik and Molik kitted out as Eagles wonderkid Harley Reid — complete with mouthguard and headband. And three of the western suburbs' most prominent headmasters also braved the icy waters. Alec O'Connell (Scotch College), who took the plunge and challenged others to match his commitment. Dean Dell'Oro (Hale School), who was backing Hale Old Boy Jordan 100 per cent, and Alan Jones (Christ Church Grammar) who made sure the old school rivalries carried on in icy style, promising a plunge that would go down in schoolboy folklore. It was fun, it was powerful and it sure made a splash. Jordan Early and Jo Moullin. Credit: Ross Swanborough / The West Australian Jordan Early, just 42, was diagnosed with MND earlier this year. A father of three, his world changed overnight, but so did his community — rallying around him, proving that even on the coldest day, a bit of warmth and hope goes a long way. His partner Jo Moullin summed it up: 'Hope is so important, and it shouldn't be taken away so abruptly.' She's right you know, this is a beast of a disease, and with MND you don't have the luxury of time. Channel 7 had special coverage of the event and many a tear was shed amongst the crew who worked on this Big Freeze. The theme was to rally together and stand beside those battling the Beast. But Saturday wasn't just about fundraising. It was about reminding a family — and all of us really — that footy is more than wins and losses. It's about people showing up for each other. That's WAFL. And that's why WAFL matters. Claremont, right here in the western suburbs, are chasing another flag on the field. But off the field, they've already won the most important game of all — the one that brings people together. So, this weekend, do yourself a favour. Pop down to the local oval. Bring a scarf. Bring your voice. And bring your love of the game. Because WAFL still matters. And in many ways, it matters more than ever.

Aussie band break-up but will play in Perth one more time
Northeast Party House has called time on their career as a band, having been together for 15 years and more than a year after their guitarist quit.

G Flip leaves Americans shocked over Aussie pub staple
Musician G Flip may live in Los Angeles with their wife now, but they're still all about Aussie culture — taking to TikTok to share things from life Down Under they've noticed surprise Americans. The Worst Person Alive singer, born Georgia Flipo, posted a video on Thursday explaining to viewers the iconic Aussie tradition of meat tray raffles. 'So you go to the pub, and you can buy raffle tickets to win a meat tray — and you just win a tray of various meats and sausages, and then you go home with the meat tray,' the singer explained in the video, which has already amassed more than 666,000 views. 'Everyone I've ever told that to who's American can't believe it, they're like what the f***.' The singer explained that the first time their wife, Selling Sunset star Chrishell Stause, came to Australia they had attended a Darwin pub together but failed to take home the tray. Stause was quick to comment about their attempt, saying she wants to win a tray 'even though I know it will give me meat sweats and likely food poisoning'. Other Americans, however, weren't as sold on the idea of a meat tray. 'So, you just carry around a bunch of raw meat for the rest of the night and let it warm up in your famously hot weather?' one stumped American queried. 'As a Texan, I am SHOCKED this is a thing,' another chimed in. The winner of the raffle will typically take home a large tray filled with meat, known as a meat tray. Credit: Supplied Aussies were quick to defend the time-honoured tradition, with even Aussie beer legends Victoria Bitters rallying behind Down Under culture. 'A hard-earned raffle deserves a big cold meat tray,' the brand wrote, earning a like and shocked 'VB!?!' reply from G Flip. 'Winning the meat tray is like winning three million dollars,' another Aussie wrote. Despite shocking Americans with the meat tray, the star wasn't done discussing the cultural divide — following up with a video about pen licenses on Wednesday morning. 'In Australia, when you're like eight or nine — roughly like grade three I think – you do a test to deem if you're ready to upgrade from a pencil to a pen,' the singer explained. 'You've got to make sure (your writing)'s all legible and your letters look great, and then your teacher will grade you and you'll get a certificate that says now you can use your pen — meaning you earned your pen license. 'But apparently Americans, you don't get a pen license and you're out here using pencils until you're in your teens... what?! That's a lot of sharpening,' she joked. Americans, including the musician's wife Stause, were again quick to flood the comments of the videos shocked over the information. 'This cannot be true at all,' Stause commented about the revelation. 'A license?! You mean we're just out here using these things illegally??' a fan said. Another American chimed in with follow-up questions for the singer: 'Can you get it revoked? Who would revoke it?' The Drink Too Much singer is set to begin their Dream Ride tour next month, with a show at the Fremantle Arts Centre lined up for March 2026.
