It was a big weekend in sport and entertainment.
A fat old singer living off faded glories from 30 years ago received $500,000 for 12 minutes “work” attempting to rev the crowd at the MCG into a frenzy before the start of the AFL Grand Final

| Meatloaf Mumbling Incoherently |
He got the gig as the pregame entertainment headliner because back in 1977 his album Bat Out Of Hell was on high rotation on the cassette player in AFL Supremo Andrew Demitriou's Datsun 180B.
For the 99,537 spectators at the MCG on Saturday they might have been forgiven for thinking the AFL had decided to tighten it's belt and save $499,000 by hiring a Meatloaf karaoke impersonator. We know that didn't happen because that guy would have at least been able to sing!
StKildaFlaneur is all for a bit of nostalgia and we would like to add our voice to those demanding a return of Angry Anderson to belt out a rendition of Bound For Glory last heard in 1991. More importantly the AFL should repurchase the iconic Batmobile which we have heard is available for a mere $7,000.
Check it out the link below. Plenty of bemused participants including the legendary Deeks!
We are unable to include a link to Meatloafs performance because due to the embarrasment of all concerned postings to Youtube are being taken down!

| Warnie - As We Knew And Loved Him |
The man who once spent an entire tour of India eating nothing but baked beans and was often accused of eating all the pies is now more likely to be found sipping on a diet protein shake. On Saturday the rumoured engagement of Shane Warne and Liz Hurley was confirmed.

Warnie's also given up the smokes on the due to the risk of serious disfigurement if exposed to naked flame.
Finally the Australian people have a red headed leader they can admire and respect

Whilst the Ranga in Canberra continues to suffer in the polls, the same can't be said of the number one Ranga down in Sleepy Hollow. To learn why. Read on!
But....The Biggest News Of All Was The Demise Of The Flag-Pies!

AFL Grand Final 2011
Geelong 18.11 (119) defeated Collingwood 12.9 (81)
There's a lot that could be said. StKildaFlaneur is however quite content to bask in the schadenfreude of the moment.
