Fans savage AFL’s half-time entertainment: ‘Mood killer’
After KISS lit up the AFL grand final before the opening bounce with a spectacular pyrotechnical show, the half-time entertainment certainly brought the vibe down a notch or two.

Seymour (who was performing with his band, The Undertow, and Kate Miller-Heidke) started the set with a couple of Hunters’ classics: When the River Runs Dry and Throw Your Arms Around Me.

Social media immediately erupted.
