Sausage rolls, Footy, Beer, perfect Saturday until @SnoopDogg RUINED IT with his Woke performance. #afl #AFLGF

[Ed Barnes @edbarnesau]

Are you woke or asleep? Rap isn’t real music #AFLGF

[Ed Barnes @edbarnesau]

My son Tommy BEGGED me to turn off the #AFLGF pre entertainment. Saying “Dad, why can’t they get INXS or Slim Dusty”, I just shook my head.

[Ed Barnes @edbarnesau]

I can’t believe on the same lawn I watched Shane Warne I had to watch snoop Dogg. #AFLGF

[Ed Barnes @edbarnesau]

Thanks for ruining the #AFLGF Snoop Dogg, not going to watch it anymore.

[Ed Barnes @edbarnesau]

I’ve followed AFL since the time you could smoke in the SCG, now Snoop Dogg is playing. What on earth is going on? #AFLGF

[Ed Barnes @edbarnesau]

I reckon they should be playing the Australian National Anthem three times instead of Snoop Dogg performing at the #AFLGF

[Ed Barnes @edbarnesau]

NO I will NOT be watching the #AFLGF’s #WOKE pre game entertainment. I have better things to do, like listening to The Angels.

[Ed Barnes @edbarnesau]

I showed my kids snoop Dogg’s “music” and my son Tommy said “Dad, how is it music when he’s just talking over one note?”

Sometimes children just know how to ask the right questions . #AFLGF

[Ed Barnes @edbarnesau]

I hadn’t even heard of snoop Dogg till this morning. Is he the same as snoop lion who I saw at BDO2014? #AFLGF

[Ed Barnes @edbarnesau]

I thought it was the #AFLGF, not the #NFLGF, why can’t we get INXS or Rose Tattoo to play instead of #SnoopDogg

[Ed Barnes @edbarnesau]

Rap music at the #AFLGF? No thanks, not excited to see the rise in shop lifting incidents after this poor influence on the public. My children and I will not be watching.

[Ed Barnes @edbarnesau]

The fact that snoop Dogg is playing the #AFLGF means I have no hope for Australia. Voting Sussan Ley at the next election

[Ed Barnes @edbarnesau]

What on earth is snoop Dogg doing as the pre game entertainment ! Never heard of him!

[Ed Barnes @edbarnesau]

@benleemusic

I genuinely think I have written one of the best Australian story telling songs, may I please have a way of sending it to you? Would love your thoughts.

Thanks,
Ed, from Dulwich Hill

England are actually the most embarrassing example of a cricket team. Like why even show up.
