Keen to hear everyone's thoughts on this given Port play INXS - Never tear us apart as their pregame song which is actually catchy... not sure what the football relevance is with Nothing else matters given some of the wording in the song or if it's simply copying Port. Regardless it's been confirmed on Afl.com and will be part of the Pies pre-game entertainment.

Love that we are playing metal instead but..

.. if we are selecting a Metallica song I would have thought “Creeping Death” “Sad But True” or “Harvester of Sorrow” would’ve been more appropriate with the way this club is headed.

Other appropriate options:
*Pulling Teeth
*Leper Messiah (Ed)
*For Whom the Bell Tolls (Bucks)
*The Frayed Ends of Sanity (supporters)

Barber's Adagio for strings would probably be more apt.

Can I suggest this one as pre-foreshadowing?

Great tune to belt out at 1am after a dozen or so under the belt. Dunno about at the footy but

If we're going down a heavy music path, Tool's 'Stinkfist' is my vote:

Something has to change
Undeniable dilemma
Boredom's not a burden,
anyone should bear.
You do know what that song is about don't you.
Don't think the AFL would approve.

Brilliant song and brilliant band though.

John Hopoate’s favourite song.

Oh no.. that was “Stinkfinger”

Heavy in symbolism, a song not to be taken too literally. But no...AFL would not approve. Meatloaf is more their go.
