We need a great song for the crowd to get into before the game....

We need a great song for our home games like the blokes down the road. The boys light up doesn't do it for me. What about thunderstruck?

I think that would rock with appropriate light show/lighting to match pre-game.

Personally I'd rather not be insulted with constant stimuli and soak in the atmosphere of the game on its own merit
I can appreciate what you're saying. As per my thread title I was referring to a song pre-game just before the bounce. Having been to both Port and our home games I think Port is gold standard in the AFL with - Never tear us apart just before than bounce like being at Anfield or a Hammers home game. I also don't mind the Lions roar after a goal or the Rooster's crowing after a try.

It wouldn't work for us as a Crow crowing is not a pleasant sound but maybe Bruce piped over the PA ''special'' after a goal ;)

Id associate that more with port power than I would us....I mean, their mascot is a stick of lightning

I was at the last showdown and it was the first time I experienced the 'Never Tear Us Apart' thing. Can gennuinely say it was one of the cringiest things I've sat through - it all felt so confected.

The premise is good - Liverpool do it beaurifully because it's almost a gutteral, spiritual type experience. Port's thing just feels like a few thousand bogans waving around a Port scarf to an INXS song.

We already do have music that leads into the first bounce. I have no idea what it is, but I hear it played.

Each to their own but to me it's just dire. It's a slow, boring love song. I much rather the natural build up of crowd noise when the timer counts down to 1 instead.

I just don't see how NTUA and waving a scarf around slowly could possibly get you pumped.
