How good is this?
Apparently Ameet had something to do with their relationship with the Dogs.

Drop that phone
Sleep on the floor
Dream about me

IF you’ve ever wondered how your club song came to be or where you’d heard that tune before — this is the place to find out.
Here are the words and history behind every theme song in the AFL, from the 1980s bass riffs to 1870s operas.
Jump to :
Western Bulldogs
Founded: 1883 as Footscray — 1996 onwards as the Western Bulldogs
Club song: ‘Sons of the West’
Sons of the West,
Red, White and Blue.
We come out snarling
Bulldogs through and through.
Bulldogs bite and Bulldogs roar,
We give our very best.
But you can’t beat the boys of the Bulldogs breed,
We’re the team of the mighty West.
‘Sons of the west’ was born in the 1940s, and is based on an old sea shanty, ‘Sons of the sea’ also known as ‘Bobbing up and down like this’. One change to the song over the years was when the ‘Sons of the ‘Scray’ became ‘Sons of the West’ when the club transformed from Footscray to Western Bulldogs in 1996.
Read others by clicking on headline.
Wasn't the original We will come out smiling whether we win or lose. Then they changed it to snarling which is far better.

Disagree. You only sing it after a win so it is a nice little reminder about balance in life.
And yes, I know it is played when the team runs out but it shouldn’t be...we should have another song for that. Going out west (Ash grunwald version) gets my vote.
What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

And there I was thinking I was the only one who believes we should be coming out at the start of the game to another song.

My fav club song is the dreaded Carlton full of old world charm like Noel Coward unlike the bombastic Tigers song.
I like Footscray smiling wheter we win or lose as a charming lyric.
