AFL fans on social media are almost universally calling for Indigenous Australian rapper Briggs to be courted for this year’s grand final pre-game entertainment after an epic Dreamtime at the ‘G performance.

Briggs performed three songs alongside longtime friend and Aussie rock legend, Paul Kelly, as well as his band, in what was an expanded pre-game entertainment that also acknowledged some Indigenous elders and past Indigenous AFL champions.

The performance went for around 20 minutes and included traditional Aboriginal dance and rituals, ahead of Richmond and Essendon’s annual clash.

It was showered with love from fans watching at home, and prompted the suggestion that Briggs take centre stage before the grand final.

“Briggs, Brother, that #DreamtimeAtTheG performance was fire. Better than any GF performance, ever,” one fan said.

“They should just have Briggs as Grand Final entertainment, that was great #afldeadly,” another added.

Channel 7’s Jason Richardson said the performance was a perfect advertisement for a night grand final. “

“Briggs night AFL GF …. yes please,” he said.

There were a host of others who agreed.

“How good Briggs, could feel the power and pride.”

“Let’s give Briggs the GF show. That was better than anything we’ve had on GF day. Spectacular.”

“When we have Australian musicians, black and white, singing together at the G, It’s wild. Briggs and PK bringing it. This is the best performance I think I’ve seen at the football. So good.”

“Briggs > every grand final performer.”

“Briggs absolutely bangs!”

“I’ve seen enough, Briggs/A.B Original should do the GF.”

Players from both sides entered the ground shortly after the entertainment, where they lined up for the traditional Dreamtime ceremony dance on the wing.

Half-way through the moving cultural performance, players came together as one, locking arms side by side.
