Updated Club Song

[HoneyBadger35]

The West Coast Eagles took another significant step forward in its brand evolution by today releasing a re-worked version of the club song.

After launching a new logo and reverting back to traditional club colours in late 2017, moving into a new playing base at Optus Stadium in 2018 and then relocating to its new training and administration base at Mineral Resources Park last year, the revamped song is another key piece of the club’s identity.

what the *. Tell me that isn't it.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

what the fu**. Tell me that isn't it.

After five seconds I was like ok, this could be interesting. Then the vocals started. Good god.

I want old school horns and pot shots at wise men from the East.

 

[Biggie]

Didn't sound bad? But will have to listen to it properly when not at work to be fair

Yep. It needs to be dark, old, more like a chant. Look at the Giants' for example, they nailed it. This is like...unacceptably bad.

I should add though, I think it needs an entire overhaul, the current melody just isn't redeemable. But they don't seem willing to do that.

Big Birds of Tokyo

Am I right???

 

[Freight Train]

Don’t mind it, don’t love it. I like the nod to the original song in there, but it’s still pretty camp for my tastes.

I’m guessing the singer is the dude from Birds of Tokyo by the sounds of it.

 

[ChampRevesby]

Absolute trash

 

[Aperture]

Friends
Family
Flags
F@#k up the club song

The AFL world just fell in love with the old school GWS song and the club have gone ah ok, we know what you want....Gold Coast’s song but slower and with less horns.

 

[Ochre]

Clearly better, just takes some getting used to

Exactly right. I'm actually dumbfounded.

I dunno this just seems like a good song to go with a promo for the year ahead and not a song to sing after a game.

 

[greatwhiteshark]

Bloody terrible, nothing wrong with our song. Typical us, always looking to change something. Will give it a year or two and they will want to get rid of the wings again.

 

[Dark Sharks]

Was hoping for Darude - Sandstorm

 

[Mattman93]

There really is.

Yep. Chuck it over some video package, sure.

The “born is pride” chant they added last year was a loud, fast, defiant war cry. This version of it sounds like it’s trying to take air time away from Ed Sheeran.

Can’t wait to hear it attempt to be sung before they just revert to the old rhythm.

I think the club wants to an Aria to the awards cabinet.

 

[Keys]

Sounds like a Birds of Tokyo song. Nothing particularly wrong with it but lacks the punch you’d hope for as a club song

They should have basically put it in the way the players shout it.

 

[greatwhiteshark]

There really is.

It's a footy song, nothing more nothing less. it's for a captive audience and not being released worldwide to be on Rage or a music podcast. FFS we still play Eagle rock at the ground, now get rid of that and we might be getting somewhere.

 

[Dark Sharks]

Not sure if Tellytubby's intro, or new club song TBH.


Really going to throw a bucket of water on whatever atmosphere we've built when they run out at Optus to that. Real intimidating stuff.

 

[Biggie]

I am hoping for an extended remix version featuring PitBull and Post Malone myself

 

[Avalor]

Nah, does nothing for me. Someone earlier said it's too camp - 100% agree. The original is fuucked, messing with it just makes it worse. Need an entirely new thumper of a song - not this wish-wash rubbish.

 

[Biggie]

What we need is a big big sound
