Post-game club songs

[R Chee Manning]

There was a time (not that long ago) that teams used to 'sing' their club song after a victory rather than just grunt it.

These days all club songs sound the same when sung in the dressing rooms... just a monotone staccato grunt... no tune... just mindless bogan, breathless, blurts like they are trying to get it over and done with as soon as possible.

It's just another chapter in the slow, inevitable shift from loving the sport and the club to treating footy like a business.

You want to be mates with everyone these days, sell yourself to the higher bidder and most importantly, get yourself in the media ASAP.

Club culture is an important part of football...

But I guess you just follow it for the 'sport'. Go Cavs, Redsox and Pats.

Top stuff. Will read again

 

[Knox Harrington]

Waste of time. Contrived rubbish.

Worse than roaming Brian.

we have gone from footballers to athletes, next stop is singers

Australian [Football League] Idol. Bring it!

 

[M Malice]

We need to replace AFLX with AFL Idol.

 

[Rusty Brookes]

And Hawthorn doesn't even sing the proper song anymore.

 

[HTT]

The solution is clear
You don't get points for wins anymore
When you win, you get the opportunity to sing your song in front of judges of 'The Voice' and you get 1 premiership point per judge that hits their button to turn around.

Now that's what I call singing...

And bobbing up and down...

OP has genuine claims to being the worst big footy poster of all time

 

[Dan]

Ok lads....this pre-season we're gonna incorporate some choir practice so that you boys can do a better job with the team song.

At least one club does.

 

[Truckosaurus]

If it's not sung in three-part harmony they don't really love the game.

 

[RobbieK]

At least one club does.

If they were really trying I think they could have fit a few more homophobic tropes into that.

 

[RonnieRaven]

They should sing it out on the ground share it with the match day supporters

 

[Wallaby]

Go back to the Good Old Days (trademark) when the coach wouldn't let the players sing it even if they won, because they had a bad last quarter, or 'mucked around with that short passing rubbish!'.

That'd be a worthwhile poll. 1 poster per team for the biggest campaigner award. You'd be representing the Dees

On a sad note I doubt the mods would allow it on MB

 

[HoneyBadger35]

OP, didn’t you start a thread a few weeks ago complaining that they occasionally sing the national anthem at the football?

I’m finding it very hard to get a read on your musical opinions.

I also like how the game randomly switches between Princes Park and Victoria Park.

Collingwood in their clash!

 

[Spongebob]

Don’t encourage them too much about their singing.

They may all end up thinking they’re the next Bob Murphy.
