"I'm really looking forward to performing with a cast of very talented local Australian musicians and I can't wait to see you all on that last Saturday in September."If it goes well, I might even put my hand up to be the next CEO of the AFL."The 2020 spectacle was held at the Gabba in Brisbane and the 2021 match took place at Optus Stadium in Perth as COVID lockdowns both years prevented Melbourne from hosting the event.
"We are back at the MCG, back in front of 100,000 fans and no better performer than Robbie Williams to help amplify the atmosphere ahead of the biggest sporting event in the country," McLachlan said.Williams is said to be selecting his band for his performance, and will include Australian musicians in the mix.
