AFL Chief Andrew Dillon says there's no one better for the pre-game show, and the energy was already buzzing during their recent shoot at the MCG. Lately, the leaves gone big with international stars like Snoop Dogg last year, and before that, KISS, Robbie Williams, Katy Perry, and The Killers. Minogue's a chart legend with over 80 million albums sold worldwide, eight number one Aurea albums in Australia, and she's tied with Bowie, Eminem, and Rod Stewart for 11 UK number one albums.
