“A change is coming to most of the AFL clubs’ theme songs in 2018, with the League set to redo 16 of the 18 songs ahead of the new season.“

So what does everything think?

Does the AFL have to try and change everything? Over to you.

Sorry CFC2010. Our club are the drongo's running that debacle not the AFL.

A few were played on sen, Essendon and Hawthorn have a couple of weird higher pitch pronunciations, but thankfully ours seems to have escaped that butchering and largely sounds the same.

One difference though is “they know how to play the game” has been replaced with “we know how to play the game”. Most sing the latter anyway, so I see it as more a correction.

Are they just re-recordings or are they changing any lyrics?

File under 'change for the sake of it'...

Bring back Vlad. RompingWins brother is a gigantic arsehat.
Should have been a friggin interior decorator.
The Tonia Todman of football administrators.
Next thing you know he will be putting sequins on the jumpers.
Screamer dimwit extraordinaire.

Meanwhile Ticketek's little side companies are already scalping ANZAC Day tickets at 5 times the face value...and he does FA. campaigner.

Exactly! People aren't going to the footy because theme songs are old and dated...

About time too. Seriously, nobody knows or cares about saying Goodbye to Dolly Gray, which was recorded in 1901. It's time our club song was written to the tune of something contemporary.

I hope it's going to be sung to Meghan Trainor's "All about the bass"

In honour of Dave, I'm on the Skyhooks "Smut" bandwagon.

Are they just re-recording the songs? It's not like they could forcibly change what plays through the loudspeakers surely. Except maybe at Etihad now that they own it.

Do they want to Destroy the AFL?

AFL change things just to make it looks like they are doing Something.

They are and that is Destroying the Game

 

[PasstheBucks]

try having a listen before jumping off a cliff! There is very little difference in the sound of the themes, just a couple of word changes. i like it.

It sounds absolutely anemic. For the love of Christ can they leave anything alone?

Huge sigh of relief listening to that small clip. I'm into music production so keen to hear the whole thing and analyse but I was expecting a big change. It does sound a bit dull on the clip but i'm not sure of their source. Feel like the main thing they were after is to update the recording because the old masters were a sounding bit shoddy. You can notice it a bit when at the ground. It doesn't worry me because it adds to to the vintage sound but you know the AFL.

'We' must sound more inclusive to the box tickers down at AFL HQ.

Hands off our song AFL!

Mate, we don't need the AFL to make things worse. We can do it magnificently without AFL intervention. Just look at our logo!!!!

 

[jefffff34]

Surely the clubs are the ones that decide what gets played.

 

[Captivating]

Hands off our song AFL!

Agreed

Wish the AFL would weigh in and fix our disgusting logo

I like our logo.

“We” sounds better than ”they” so I’m all for the change.
