Club Songs - AFL changing

[westdog54]

Agree TD. Swap Sydney with North and it's a pretty solid list.

As much as most of us despise GWS, 'Big Big Sound is ridiculously catchy.

I've never heard of our song being that highly rated before, it's generally rated towards the bottom of the traditional club songs (but far above the new rubbish). It's hard for us to judge as it's ingrained in us but trying to put all bias aside I would put it no higher than middle of the pack.

Also West Coast's song (like most of the new ones) is terrible, not sure why it isn't at the bottom with the others.

I don't mind North's either and agree Sydney's is decent.

I reckon North's team song is excellent. I'd have ours around the middle, and Carlton's elite.

We Are The Navy Blues?

"we're the team that always lets you down.
We're the only team from dago town!"

To me it's a bit 'meh!" but given you never got to the "Nick Cave is a god" stage I can understand where you are coming from.

Well Birds of Tokyo have reworked it

Well Birds of Paradise have reworked it

Pretty sure it's by some members from Birds of Tokyo. Birds of Paradise is something my Nan had in her garden.

ha ha ha - don't know why I typed paradise.

In any case, it is a vast improvement on what they had

As long a story they keep the “we’re the eagles, wc eagles” that will be a terrible song. We KNOW you are the eagles, that’s what it says on the scoreboard. They should change their song to “eagle rock” which is what they play after every home game and everyone would be happy.

The Dockers song is bad but the start of it with the Heave Ho bit is alright...why they didn’t stick with that kind of traditional refrain throughout is anyone’s guess as the rest of the song is rubbish. Port’s song is atrocious, Adelaide’s is worse.

Most of the traditional ones are ok. Ours can be a bit slow moving hence the players screaming ‘wooooo’ after each line which sounds either joyful or stupid depending on your thoughts on the win!

I have noticed that at other clubs as well.

Our song was never the same after the Hyde Street State School band stopped playing it at home games.

And then there was the traditional march around, with the donations tarp, at three quarter time.

We lived in simple times then, without the commercial imperative which drives the game these days.

The donations tarp! God I remember that. People launching 20c coins from 8 meters away at this tarp. The 3rd quarter starting w coins on the ground outside the boundary line.

Most of the coins weren’t aimed at the tarp, anyone playing a trumpet etc was in danger of getting a coin down it.
Safest place was being the tarp holder .

A few people use to get wacked on the back of their heads as well.
