Channel Seven, the network that airs the AFL, reported that the AFL boss is rarely lost for words. So his hesitation is rather telling.
With Robbie Williams, the AFL already has an impressive halftime show but it seems organisers are not content to stop there.
The English super star will be joined by a mix of modern artists, such as Temper Trap and NB-icon G Flip, and classic performers, like the rock-group Goanna and English-Australian musician Mike Brady AM.
But let’s face it, Kylie would be the icing on the cake.
Fans would be delighted to see Kylie again, especially since her last appearance in Australia was a touch lacklustre.
Kylie returned to ‘Ramsey Street’ back in August for the Neighbours finale but her Charlene barely had any lines.
Viewers were pretty frustrated with her performance, joking that the network couldn’t afford to pay her to talk.
"So was Charlene contractually not allowed to speak more than 5 words?," one viewer wrote online, as a second added: "Has Kylie's voice box disappeared? Or she charges by the word & they couldn't afford the lines.. Say something please!"
A third joked, "Blowing the budget with some CGI on the confetti is the reason they couldn’t afford to give Kylie any lines."
However, the real reason was much more wholesome.
"Our discussions with Jason and Kylie were always about making a small appearance," showrunner Jason Herbison told TV Tonight.
"They didn't want to overshadow the current cast or make the finale about them.”
