Really disappointed in this thread :(

Idiot didn't deserve such a prompt reply.

Freakin old news which was plastered all over the main board too (and presumeably Bay 13).

So now that we've had it for awhile, is it better or worse than the old one?

I prefer the Freo heave ho of the old one, but that's about the only thing I liked out of the lot of them. This argument has been done to death though. I have resigned myself to the fact that the song is more for the kids than it is for me.

Ageist joke. Sorry.

I still miss the brooding intro of the last one, but I'm not hating the trimmed down version as much as I did at first.

Still sucks when sung in the circle though, but that's a pretty inconsequential quirky tradition when you get down to it anyway.

Same, the tempo is better but miss the start of the old one.

I actually reckon the best bit about the song is that it seems to really annoy so many opposition supporters in its crappness.

Still far better than the mob down the road's abomination though.

Like the new version more, but think it could do with less campy elecric guitar.

Does anyone know the song that plays during the countdown to the start of home games, the one with the heavy drum beat? Annoyingly catchy

Eskimo Joe wrote it. Check out the Fremantlefc website from a few weeks ago.

Here, here. What gives Kram81? If you seriously want to revisit this issue, bump a decent thread on the subject.

http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/is-anything-sacred-ffc-looking-at-changing-song.803382/

Any chance of jumping this bump Stronzo ? Unless, of course, you want to just burn this thread and wash your eyes out.

It's not really an 'issue' anymore as a decision has been made. I was just asking if people thought if it was better or worse.

Speaking of the song, did anyone at the GF parade notice they played the old song anyway?

You can't find a copy of the new one anywhere to buy, not even the club knew.
