Toast GREATNESS: Our Tradition, Our Ambition

[magic_johnson!]

I like how it rhymes

It's from the second verse of the theme song

'stand up and fight, rememer our tradition
Stand up and fight, it's always our ambition...' (or something like that)

Reflective of the club without being in your face at all

But why isn't the 2nd E the same ?

One E is subtle and quite balanced, two would be a bit over the top I think.

My girls are 10 and 7 and were fortunate enough not to have had a vested interest when Jnr departed.

Your kids passion is already evident though... Good stuff.

My tip for choosing a jumper for your girls ... get their own name on the back, with their favourite player's number

Nakia #5? I have that myself...

On a serious note, that's a good idea.

Easily pleased?

Not so much that, I work in hospitality & it's hard to get time off on a regular basis to get to games, But seeing Paddy in the blue & white hoops is pretty exciting, I'm a fan of scooter as well.

So good enough to keep me on board.

That's what I don't understand about the cats shop pre selling danger jumpers.

If I knew it had his name on it I would have already ordered one for my kids.
My kids are over the moon at us getting him.

On Brownlow night they never ran out of the room and said "dad, Selwood just got 3 votes"

But they did when danger got 3

 

[Pivo]

I'll start to worry if I see talk of "what we are cooking".

Get Dwayne Johnson to say it and it'll be fine.

Some kids seem to think Danger is Father Christmas and that he's arrived early.

So! Stand up and fight, remember our tradition
Stand up and fight, it’s always our ambition
Throughout the game to fight with all our might
Because we’re the mighty blue and white
And when the ball is bounced, to the final bell
Stand up and fight like hell.

Anyone remember Ben Graham leading the boys in singing the second verse after a win one time?

Good to see they're well adjusted human beings.

Wouldn't it be an impressive specimen him wearing the hoops

Standing in the middle of Simonds doing it... drops the mike and the Cats song hits and the boys run out

[Go Hoops]

Like it. Also agree the prowling cat is a much better logo. Much better.

Would be nice to have a cap like this.

The full song:
We are Geelong, the greatest team of all
We are Geelong; we’re always on the ball
We play the game as it should be played
At home or far away
Our banners fly high, from dawn to dark
Down at Kardinia Park
So! Stand up and fight, remember our tradition
Stand up and fight, it’s always our ambition
Throughout the game to fight with all our might
Because we’re the mighty blue and white
And when the ball is bounced, to the final bell
Stand up and fight like hell.

The 2016 membership video on the website today is a beauty. No mention of 'we're coming' which is a relief.

Love it, and the whole Greatness/Our Tradition/Our Ambition concept.

Well done to our marketing department

 

[Catsmaninamerica]

I'm throwing money at the screen

Super 11th post. well done.

 

[Willo_]

[Cattergirl]

Potentially an odd thing to toast...

Is absolutely superb - simple, clean, brilliant

Replacing the E with our hoops as well is a fantastic touch.

Absolutely smashed the Mighty mighty mighty might crap.

Bravo to the cats design staff... already looks to be the theme with the website as well for the upcoming season

The new membership video is superb

Love it! Very classy

 

[nananana catman]

Im really confident in the member's branding survey that was sent around I chucked out #greatness as a response and said how it's always great to have a slogan that relates to our song...

#yourewelcome

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Much better than last year's slogan,great video.

I love its simplicity. Bit like the opening rift of Coldplay's Viva la Vida (it was so good that you had to ask why it wasn't done before) why hadn't anyone previously thought of replacing the E in Geelong with the blue & white hoops?
