We've got no chance...


From the Website:

The St Kilda Football Club is pleased to announce the appointment of highly regarded vocal coach Ricardo Rayme, as Head of Vocal Performance.​

​

Ricardo, along with his assistant Todd are globally regarded as the world’s best singing teachers.​

​

Ricardo and Todd bring with them a wealth of experience, having spent time on the RSL circuit, responsible for such productions as Richard Wilkins the Musical, and working with tribute bands for the likes of Nickelback and Jason Donovan.​

​

St Kilda CEO Michael Nettlefold said of the pair joining the Saints “Ricardo and Todd’s appointments are significant. It is a world first for a sporting organisation, but something we feel is absolutely necessary for the betterment of our club.”​

​

Disgruntled with the players’ lacklustre singing of the team song, Nettlefold hopes that Ricardo and Todd can bring a little spark to their post-match performance.​

​

“Our wonderful song has become a joke, the players’ singing is appalling” he said.​

“We’ve gone out and sort the best and we think Ricardo can turn this club around.”​

After a week of vigorous vocal coaching the results have been plain to see.​

This film is the St Kilda Football Club entry into the Virgin Australia Film Festival.​

All AFL clubs were invited to submit a short film around the theme “going the extra mile” where three clubs will have the chance to win 30 returns flights to the US.​

Should the Saints win, we will be able to send the entire team to Colorado to continue our High Performance Altitude Training.​

How do we win? Simple – we need all Saints fans to watch our film on Virgin’s Facebook or Youtube page, and like, comment and share the video to all your friends. The film which receives the most views, likes, comments and shares will win!​

You know what I like best about it, not just Roo being relaxed and having fun with it, but the next gen of players really seem to get along and enjoy each others company.

[angrynaut]

I was drifting between finding it hilarious and cringeworthy. Safe to say the bubble has popped.

Nice to see some good harmless fun for a change

 

[Sunshine Saint]

Sensational. Great positive from the club. Obvious fun and enjoyment making it and fantastic to see the club and players in such a good light. All good.

Pyrotechnics may have dwarfed such a relaxed performance of the song.

For a club that sucks at this type of stuff, it's definitely a "look here" video, exactly the thing that will win you the comp. Just look at Twitter. While Melbourne's was cute, it doesn't really get people talking. I know youtube doesn't update their stats very often, but still our vid is killing it in the view count.

 

[Rors]

To be honest, it didnt set the world on fire...

 

[Manimal_Dunstan]

lulz. dafuq did i just watch

I'd like to formally retract this statement. We're doing bloody well. Around 8K views on youtube (next best Melbourne with 2K) and 1.4K facebook likes (next best Melbourne with around 500).

Reckon it would have taken about 3 seconds to convince Eric Bana to do this. Legend

 

[Jack Stevens]

How could anyone want to trade out McEvoy? We need his bass to hold together our vocal structures.

 

[StFly]

This.

I love this.

Would have been better with a helicopter arrival for the coaches though.

 

[Engimal]

I saw this last night. Absolutely brilliant! Best out of them all and will only have Melbourne and Freo to compete with.
