So.....Lance Franklin eh?

More surprised that Mrs Franklin passed a 3 day course that enables her to become a player agent.

Checks out, Ricky Nixon had a 15 year career at the top of the industry without ever putting on pants.

Took some off though.

Yesterday being Bastille Day highlighted 3 things for me:

1. the French, for their numerous and extensive flaws, have a great anthem;

2. by extension, Fitzroy and to a slightly less extent Brisbane, have a great song;

3. of the Victorian clubs, Essendon's song is by far the worst. It's like the average Daniel Craig or Conney Bond, still mid-table because of the amount of pure shit that has been made.

Carlton's song is the worst. So, so bad.

No way. It crushes you when you hear it and are on the losing side. I like the low slung swagger.

yeah, im a fan
Lions and Dees are my two faves.
ours is low rung.

 

[Beerfish]

I guess it's lucky we don't get hear it much then ayyyy...

 

[eth-dog]

It's horrible. Absolutely horrible

 

[faible]

It's horrible. Absolutely horrible

Which is probably why it's good, as someone who's lost to Carlton then having to listen to that 'da da da da da' you're hating life.

It's like a drunken uncle staggering towards you who you know is going to get a little handsy

maybe it's just we're used to it, and maybe a grass is greener kind of thing, 'cos my non-essendon friends all seem to think we've got one of the better songs

It’s the most depressing song. Winning a grand final then having to listen to that. Singing it as a team it goes okay.

 

[Nifft]

And the original song it's based on is upbeat and reminds you of those old B&W cartoons...

Yep Essendon's song is pretty shit, just like the original.

GWS has the best song, followed by Richmond and (ducks) Carlton.

Port has the worst, followed by Suns, Freo and West Coast.

GWS and the memes before the Grand Final showed how much they nailed that song.

 

[eth-dog]

The only good songs in the AFL are Brisbane, GWS, Melbourne, North, Richmond, St. Kilda and Sydney.

Replace saints with carlton and im onboard.
Carltons isnt good, but **** it would be fun to sing after a win.

Carlton's is terrible. Worse than ours and ours is downright awful. I'm a little biased with the Saints, it's also my local clubs song and it's great to sing after a win.

 

[ant555]

Cracker of a day in Sydney and for something different first visit to Commbank Stadium . Eels and Warriors.
Back here on Sunday to watch the mighty Panthers
Going to the SCG to see the Wallabies tomorrow night. Hope they do not suck like normal.

 

[VelvetSledge]

St Kilda are insipid.

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Saints are the biggest false economy team in the AFL.
