To be fair that stupid kid was just the #1 Junior ticket holder.

Nice chaps those Eskimo Joe guys. Very loyal Freo people who once likened Fremantle City to The Shire and Perth to Mordor. Having Frodo in our team just proves their point.

Lulz.

That's why they sold the rights to one of their songs to West Coast.

I'd be surprised if they weren't paid to take on the role. Seems to be the only reason they do anything these days.

Can't say I know them personally, but if they're not die in the wool (and that aren't if they sold the rights to one of their songs to the other mob), we could rope in someone with a bigger profile.

Pavement love the club - give it to them.
Ben Elton lives in Freo now - give it to him.

Otherwise posthumously reward Matt Price with it. I'm sure that would be a big deal in his household.
 
I am ****ing enraged over this decision, it's like Manchester United playing 'Joy Division' or 'Oasis' songs to sell the club. The difference is those bands would never sell their songs to Man United, unlike these scum bags.

I guess that's what happens when you run your band debt into the near on million dollar mark.... and the only way out is by ripping off the theme to 'The Never Ending Story'

**** this band, of all the things Fremantle have done to me, this is the worst. I feel violated.

Let me be the second to nominate Pavement. We could have had one of the coolest number 1 ticket holders ever & we go for meh
 
I'm a bit uncomfortable with this. Ever since they allowed their song to be used to promote the budgies I've associated them with the enemy. What's next, Danny Green swapping camps again?

For historical accuracy, Jesse Dart was #1 junior ticket holder for 2008 & 2009. 2009's #1 ticket holder was Nick O'Hern and 2008 didn't have one.

In their defence, when you are a muso your time in the sun only lasts so long and hardly anyone gets as much sun as they have got. You have to make hay.
Can anyone here (that isn't already wealthy) honestly say if you were offered the chance to make a one off fee of xthousand bucks plus the residual royalties and APRA payments that go with a TV ad you wouldn't sell a song to West Coast or {insert great Satan of choice}?
I know I'd do it and I know it wouldn't make the slightest bit of difference to supporting Freo.
If anything I think it's hilarious that West Coast used a song by a band that support us to promote their Club.

I agree, the least they could have done was to offer it to 11th He Reaches London, first. Much better band.
 
Cos of that ad I always thought they were bird shite fans...

I agree with summerthebat

I dunno about WC but I know a lot of Freo fans - including myself - who see our rivalry very similar to that of ManU/City and Everton/Liverpool in terms of fierceness and that kind of cross-over is unheard of and you'll lose credibility from both sides - except Tevez :P

Make Bon Scott our #1 ticket holder :) this is quite a dark day - only because of the eagles ad, I mean yes it is kind of funny that the bird shite used a freo song for an ad promoting them

Could you imagine the Cockney Rejects using their songs in a Millwall ad? (Google/Wikipedia the rejects)
 
Gotta love the Eski's.

When that ad came out they said in the west or sunday slimes magazine that they supported the dockers. It gave me a bit of fuel when arguing with my west coast supporter mates during that awful 2006 premiership era.

I think this move is like a middle finger to the mob down the road...
 
Couldn't care less if they used a song for a WC ad (which I've never seen, don't watch FTA TV). What is more relevant is they are a truly awful and lame band. Fairly annoyed with this decision, but I'll get over it once I finish typing this.

We must be running out of celebrities if we're giving it to this mob.
 
I don't have a problem with this. They are very Freo. IIRC their name originates from Mo-Jo's in freo. And I can alway remember an inpromptu performance they did with a quartet at the Norfolk on a beautiful summer day.

So for me when ever i think of freo, I think of them.

Maybe next time they can speak to John Butler who is very freo. But I have no idea if he goes for Freo or has any interest in football.

I really liked Eskimo Joes early stuff but they have become too 94.5 for me now. But if they could make up a team song like "The Sweater song" that would be awesome! ha ha. For those who don't know, it was a really cheesey indi song they came out with at first and sounds nothing like them.
