Mike Brady is in talks to perform at the 2014 Grand Final.

It comes as speculation continues about a major act to perform at the MCG, with the League reportedly approaching Welsh singer Tom Jones.

It's Darryl and if he wears on of his Bill Cosby Multi coloured jumpers then I'm going to faint with excitement.

International superstars Tom Jones and Ed Sheeran will perform on Grand Final day, with Australia's Olivia Newton-John booked to sing the national anthem.

Both Jones and Sheeran will perform exclusively on Grand Final day and at the post-premiership party to be held on the MCG at the end of the Grand Final.
 
Mike Brady will also sing a new version of his football anthem Up There Cazaly before the national anthem.

I really like Ed Sheeran and was disappointed I only caught the end of him singing with Tom Jones

Tom Jones was really good IMO.

Also think Olivia's rendition of the National Anthem was one of the very worst I've ever heard.

I agree, I think both Ed and Tom were fantastic. Olivia was interviewed before singing and she sounded like she had a massive head cold which may explain her performance.
