Toast "2018 - The Season That Was..." (in verse)

[HawkerHurricane]

It is clear after reading many of the posts on our club page, that amongst us exist a great number of wordsmiths... which gave me the idea that between us we could put together a few verses that cover the highlights (and lowlights) of the year that was 2018.

All that is required is a couplet (two successive lines that rhyme & have the same metre), and the end result should be quite entertaining.
I'll get the ball rolling...

The season is over, and I don't mean to brag,
But WE won the lot, WE won the FLAG!!

 

[Astro7]

Now it's November and I'm already bored
Guess I'll drink and smoke until I'm floored?
and look at highlights over and over again
until my wife screams "get outta that dark evil den!"

(just setting the tone)

 

[FatPizza]

They said we were over the hilly,
So then we brought in Willie,
Now they all look silly,
Cos really they know nilly.

 

[FKASC]

Gee Venables has some skills
But in marking contests the ball spills

 

[HawkerHurricane]

When we lost our first game, I held back a tear,
but then we won the next 10, and set up the year...

 

[woosha24]

Kicked off at the new ground
But the Swans beat us sound
Round 2 was the Dogs
and we showed 'em they're flogs

 

[squashface]

Sheed goals with 2 minutes on the clock
Where would we be without Gunston and Bock

 

[Max zero]

Tim wanted to go home for family
Geelong wanted to be paid handsomely
They said: "Pay Up!" We said: "Get Stuffed!"
"We'll get him next year for free!"

 

[FatPizza]

Player sponsor vote's already done but....

Wake me up, before you Yeo, Yeo
Makes them look like they're in slow-mo
Wake me up, before you Yeo, Yeo,
Don't wanna miss when he goes to fly

 

[06Premiers]

We won the flag against all odds.
Suck it Vic media, you dumb biased flogs.
From now til next year, you all must toast us.
Don't forget to end it with UP THE BLOODY COASTERS!

If we are going to channel our inner Shakespeare I would much rather it was put to either:
a) devising a chant the players can shout leading into the club song after a win, or
b) a verse or two to make the club song more relevant. The original verses were great and suited the times, but don’t reflect where we are now.
The chorus alone is too short for my liking.

 

[FKASC]

After a slow start to the granny, our muscles we flexed
You campaigners know just what happened next

 

[sey666]

Start of the year nobody gave us a chance
Round one was ruined by Lance
Bazil asked Simmo about our arrogance
Who cares when we end up winning the big dance

With a lot more run
This year was full of fun
Don’t you campaigners agree that Rioli and Ryan
Are lot more thrilling than
Bock and Gunston

"S G I O. GO EAGLES GO"

"S G I O. GO EAGLES GO"

I bow to your sartorial eloquence

 

[TY24]

I bow to your sartorial eloquence

I have actually thought of a first verse, it's the cringiest thing ever though

 

[MWPP]

"S G I O. GO EAGLES GO"

Ooh Ahhh
Mark LeCras!

All the best
For your life post-nest

McGovern was truly loving Treloars’ left foot floater, he took a mark that will now become a poster.

He landed like a cat on both feet, he threw caution to the wind and hit Nathan on the teat.

Vardy wasn’t tardy, he quickly kicked to Ryan,
He soared into the air, he was truly flyin.

Understanding the moment, Liam moved it on with speed and he laced out the left footer Sheed.

He lined up a drop punt because he thought it would be best, but this verse is finished because you campaigners know what happened next.

 

[The Falcon Strike]

We exuded arrogant
We won the fights
We won the flag
Up the coasters

 

[avishka5]

Up the bloody Coasters!!!

 

[Seadog]

They can't win without Gaff
Said the wise men from the east with a laff
Gaff's replacement was Sheed
Who would prove to be all we did need
For it came to pass
He kicked the winning goal out of his arse

 

[bUCKET__]

Perchance that the teal came to host
And again became mirth with a boast
Twas the young lad named Scott
Verily gave all he got
Called yonder with "Up ye of Coast!"

 

[Truckosaurus]

Well Adam Simpson'd done it
The West Coast Eagles won it
With Willie Rioli blocking all the while
Brad Sheppard's tragic injuries made us smile
While Gaff's contract lay unsigned on the club-room tile

We're talkin' football
From Perth out to the 'G
Talking football
A Norm Smith for Shuey
Brayshaw's grotesquely broken jaw
Liam Ryan and his run-in with the law
We're talkin' Jetta
Vardy and LeCras

 

[Here2tellyouwhy]

campaigners
You campaigners
You campaigners know
You campaigners know what
You campaigners know what happens

Liam and Willie , Willie and Liam
Playing the angles in a circle of dreams .
