as a musician of way too many years, i don't think debates about personal taste are particularly useful or relevant, so i'll keep my personal opinion of Coldplay to myself...
having said that, they're not really a band that projects 'strength' are they? bit soft for me (not that our song has to be 'hard' per se).
the Coldplay crap risks 'trying to make fetch happen' like that cringe Never Tear Us Apart shit Pear do.
they wanna be Liverpool with You Never Walk Alone, so bad. the locals may love it, but YNWA has respect from those outside the club because it's baked into the club's identity/history. Coldplay/Never Tear Us Apart feels like marketing departments w/ too much time on their hands
the things that solidify a club identity come from the fan base. not marketing departments.
no marketer will ever come up with a 'club anthem' that takes.

100% spot on.
Keep it simple is the answer IMO.
Rock and Anchor before the game.
Tame Impala at 3QT
ACDC after a win.
I don't mind Coldplay - got a couple of their albums. Their music however does not suit a footy audience. I wish the club would stop this fascination with trying to turn is into a soccer club - port have ruined INXS. It is the most manufactured shite to watch.

NOW we're talking!
though you couldn't really get a band more associated with Melbourne.

At least they’re Aussies. Just play it until the drums kick in.

Unfortunately that will offend someone and the complaints will stop it

'Big Balls' would probably sound better coming from those who could move it with skill a little better...
a pivot to 'Dirty Deeds' and a coach with a bit more 'mongrel' i could get behind
but now i'm blending a couple of different threads, soz

Why can't they just use the verse from the club song.
We're the rollers, we're the rockers,
We're the mighty Freo Dockers.
We're gonna roll them and we'll rock em,
We're gonna send them to the bottom
That's all you need. The AFL women show how it's sung properly.

Pretty easy. Don't even have to manufacture anything it's already in the DNA
