Never Tear Us Apart...

[Mr Swan]

With Port Adelaide now playing a minute or two of this song to get the fans and the players pumped up and firing just before bounce down, and the fans holding their scarves in the air EPL style, I wonder if this is going to be the norm from here on?

It got me thinking. Should all clubs adopt something like this?

Is there a particular song or music that supporters would like their club to play for a minute or so just prior to bounce down? To get the place all fired up?

I remember at the 2012 Grand Final, Hawthorn were playing M&M's 'Lose youself' just before the first ball up and just before all the quarters starting.

Was this a Hawthorn thing? Or was it an AFL finals thing for 2012?

Personally, I would like the Swans to play The Alan Parsons Project's song 'Sirius' just before the first bounce to get the SCG pumping.

They need it because their club song is so shit it would never fire anyone up.

"We'll never stop, stop, stop til we're top, top top".

Embarrassing. Other teams can just play their club song to get the crowd fired up.

Cringworthy stuff for mine. Each to their own though.

 

[ManWithNoName]

Should be charged for bringing the game into disrepute.

 

[Mr Swan]

You know what I mean.

A year back, Melbourne were 2 goals down against GWS at three quarter time. MCG PA System decides to play "Under Pressure" by Queen for good measure during the break.

Melbourne proceeded to kick 10.2 in the last quarter.

Katy Perry's Roar would work at Punt Road. A fairly catchy anthem.

Freo used to play TNT. Probably still do.

Good marketing. Whip the (cough) working class supporter base into a frenzy before they jump in their BMWs and drive back to their leafy East Fremantle homes.

Truely inspiring.

North Melbourne does 'You're the Voice'.

It's a terrible attempt at ripping off a very good Anfield tradition. I sincerely hope they end it immediately and offer an apology to all fans of sport.

 

[Gasometer]

This before the next time Petrie and Lake play each other please...

Liverpool aren't the only team in world that do it, they're not even the only team to do ynwa. It's hardly a rip-off.

 

[Jack London]

Melbourne plays a lyric-less Lose Yourself before every game too.

Doesn't help.

 

[vide0n]

All teams should use this IMO.

 

[Liger]

Freo just play the hair-metal guitar infused club song.
Gets 'em all up and about.

It's hardly an Anfield tradition.

But yeah a soccer thing traditionally.

I don't get the meaning though - who's trying to tear them apart?

To be fair, lots of teams sing "You'll Never Walk Alone" before games. If they did the same I wouldn't mind so much but clearly ripping off the tradition with a different (but kind of the same) song is the shit part.

All teams should use this IMO.

One of the best memes the internet has produced, back when people correctly used the term 'meme'.

"They" are.

 

[Xtreme]

North Melbourne does 'You're the Voice'.

One of the only cool things about North Melbourne.... get around them!!! - seriously awesome song

All teams should use this IMO.

I'd rather Ken or Ryu's

The SANFL tried to tear apart the Port Power from the Port Magpies?

 

[Angus Young]

'Never tear us apart' LOL ******s
