Swans have had a very similar setup at Bassendean for years (Bouncy castle and other kids stuff) without the incessant noise of a screaming announcer. The next home game is Swans 90th anniversary so maybe the club didn't want any distractions from this occasion?
I think Perth should protest though because I agree that it is a bit disrespectful for ANZAC day

Exactly and I already have with a cc to the PFC. Playing a rock concert on ANZAC Day just doesn't happen, ANYWHERE. Idiots.

Enjoy the music on Anzac Day.

The idea is OK to attract younger people to the WAFL, but the the music is SO wrong.....maybe have a 15 minute session at half time or after the game.....not during, its so annoying.

Exactly what I said in my email to the commission this morning and they have told me they have agreed to only use the existing club speakers instead. That is their compromise.

I said that is unacceptable and the only time it's ok to turn a game of football into a rock concert is at half-time when the players and coaches are inside the changerooms and spectators can wander around. But I also said none of it should be happening on ANZAC DAY. It is disrespectful to what the day stands for. Bunch of coconuts.

I am very surprised Perth football club is putting up with this. I cc'd the emails to them.
