Updated Club Song

[amazingjoshy]

Hearing all these other club songs during this Footy Frenzy should remind us all that other club songs are elevator music at best. Whilst our new song is not only contemporary but catchy. With key elements of our history woven in.
I love it.
The players seem to love it too.
I hope that it grows on the haters as much as it has my son & I

Finally someone speaking the truth

It's awesome

 

[Macca81]

It’s absolutely embarrassing and needs to be replaced next season, with input from the fans in the decision making process.

Can you imagine the fan song though?

Just kick the ball - no not there!
Jetta just walks around and doesn’t care
Nelson is crap, playing instead of who?
Oh **** off umpire, time to boo

We’re the Eagles, the West Coast Eagles
And we’re here to sip Chardonnay
s**t me false teeth, fell under the seat
More kicks backward? I’m going gray!

 

[WCErevival]

The 2 biggest issues to me are the long slow intro after we win and changing the tune of "kings of the big game". Apart from that I can accept it.

 

[Godfather32]

The whole thing is s**t

the only way that song is growing on me is like an unwanted mole.

 

[ZergMinion]

I wasn't sure at first but I now like it better than the old one.

I can see why some people hate it, but it's not going to be hated by enough to get changed again soon I think.

Which one of you just rung up abc sports talk?

 

[DickDunn]

Which one of you just rung up abc sports talk?

Love that the calls have all been WC-related. No one cares about the purples

 

[amazingjoshy]

Which one of you just rung up abc sports talk?

Just heard that and was about to ask the same

Someone sooking about the song

Interestingly MM mentioned that when he came to the club he didn't like the "wise men from the east" line at all

 

[KERRPOW]

Great to hear no one thinks this is a good rendition of the club song to belt out after a win.

Actually a good song... just is so flat to hear after a win.

 

[Luuuc]

Every time I see this thread bumped a little part of me hopes that the song has been updated yet again but in the less-sh!t direction

 

[Biggie]

Have to put my hand up here - I’ve been turning the telly off as soon as we win

Who's MM?

Have to say the verseless version wasn't any more pleasant to listen to.

 

[MaxHunt]

Who's MM?

Gotta be Malthouse

 

[Dazzler9]

Yeah, Mick Malthouse. He said that he had talks with the club about it because he didn't like it, as a Victorian, and was worried about the impact it might have on players drafted from over east in terms of feeling welcome. The other host said he liked it as a song, but not as a footy club song. There was unanimous agreement about that.

And last but not least, the caller was advised to politely contact the club and make his feelings known, as they do actually listen to their fans as evidenced by the return to their traditional guernsey and colours which was driven by a fan-based movement. Shout-out to RTW !!

 

[Ok Boomer]

I’d like to get behind anything that gets a message to the club about this song. It was a mistake to not ask the fans and shows that they didn’t learn much from the jumper debacle at the turn of the century.

 

[Mr Eagle]

Considering we hired him precisely to be one of those for us, he may have misunderstood.

 

[woosha24]

Well I think we can all agree that Birds of Tokyo suck. How about this instead?

 

[WestCoast05]

Have to say the verseless version wasn't any more pleasant to listen to.

But you could belt it out.

And go to town on the 'Kings of the Biiiiig Game' part

Now I just dont join in at all and that's an epic fail on some marketing guru's part.

At the very least we should keep up the whinging on social medai - ALL OF US
