Leigh Matthews says the AFL made one ‘inappropriate’ mistake on Anzac Day at the MCG

Leigh Matthews says this year’s Anzac Day contest was everything footy fans could have hoped for, with Collingwood and Essendon battling out a tight match in front of 85,000 fans at a sunbathed MCG.

But one aspect left him unimpressed.

The AFL great joined Neil Mitchell in expressing his disapproval of the pre-game entertainment.

“It just seemed so inappropriate,” Leigh Matthews said.

“It was the wrong place, wrong time, to have a flamboyantly dressed rock band belting out two or three tunes.”
