Coldplay sucks

Coldplay this Coldplay that you know what needs to go? The ****ing bagpipes they play after some goals.
Sacrilege! I think that bit of the song symbolises our game (I’m talking Aussie Rules here) very well with its syncretic range of influences and styles, and we’re lucky to have the connection with Bon Scott.

I agree it was overplayed on Thursday night though. I think we had it 4 or 5 times.

And perhaps some credit is due to the Freo media/ community relations team.

We only had the Coldplay song once on Thursday night. 16 goals scored. Maybe the message has been received and they will use it less.

And Freo media team, if you read this, can we please bring back the Thunderstruck goal song (the version with the didgeridoo)?

They must be thinking “Geeze it’s hard to please these campaigners” 😂

While we’re at it, turn down the volume on the shrieking idiot introducing the players pre game. That’s not the goose from the Wildcats is it? He’s done ruining basketball and has moved into footy. Would explain the We Will Rock you cliche too.

Yes, agreed.

Even Corbin Middelmas said on the ABC radio coverage that the volume was extremely loud.

Starlight is a ripper after a goal

I was boogieing along all day

Maybe because it’s only once a year

Still should be in the rotation
 
Just had a thought - Considering how much the WA Government threw into bringing Coldplay to Perth for a once off Australian show, if this in any way is tied with that. Long-shot, but just a thought.
I don’t think so. Before the season started, Pete Curulli (our ground announcer) did a video segment with a couple of the boys to explain the new changes to the home game music.

He said that our AFLW side did the Freo/Vida La Vita chant after reaching the finals last season. The club decided to bring it in as a “goal sting” at the men’s home games this season.
 
Must admit, “Come Together” as the team entrance song is growing on me.

And it was awesome to hear Wharfie Team yesterday when we were in a winning position. They must have changed their rules around it’s usage, as originally it was only to be used when we were behind on the scoreboard.

Freo media team, I know you read this! If you’ve passed on any of our feedback, then thanks. ❤️

The one weird thing about the Wharfie Time was it came when we didn't have momentum as I thought of it more as an amp up to the team.

But in hindsight it can work either way, just like we can do the Freo chant when under siege.

Goal sting ffs.

These pissants wouldn’t last two seconds in actual footy.

I like Coldplay a lot, but I'm not sure they would work at the footy.
I can't comment on how it goes over at the ground as I am still yet to go to optus stadium
