THE appearance of US tennis star Andre Agassi in the stands at the MCG had plenty scratching their heads — including the man himself.

Agassi attended the Geelong v Sydney preliminary final as a guest of AFL boss Gil McLachlan.

But the former world No. 1 appeared mystified by what was happening on the field and was seen yawning before halftime in one of the biggest AFL games of the year.

As the Swans streaked further in front, fans started taking more interest in the tennis legend than the game — “Agassi” was trending on Twitter late in the second quarter.

Andre Agassi is all of us when confronted with Gil. Also, why is he here? #AFLCatsSwans

Agassi telling Gil that if he wanted to see a lazy, half-hearted effort he would watch Tomic play. #AFLCatsSwans
