I like the lyrics and the idea of a Perth band singing it. Wrong band thoughIts truly putrid. A laughing stock league wide.

Now that we have the same sponsor arrangement for home and away jumpers, wonder if there’s any chance we see the yellow at home with royal shorts?? Maybe for the dig deep game?? Missed so many chances to use it over the years, especially with the main colour for the cancer council being yellow

I floated this idea to the club last year, it never got anywhere sadly
When are we actually going to do something about our disgusting new club song?
I would never say I dread a win, but this abomination just numbs the happy fuzzy feeling you get after a great win. Out of touch boomer rubbish. Cringeworthy.

Totally agree. It is an atmosphere stealer. It wrecks the vive of the victory. We need to get rid of it - or at least have a chorus only version for after wins.

They at least need to put the words of the new parts on the big screen. Not going to make the song better but at least some people might sing along then.

I tried to give it another chance last night, but it's just not a singalong song for a footy crowd.
Another thing I noticed about the song is the change in the tempo of "big birds".
The crowd couldn't even get into the singalong with the chorus.
If you're going to change the song, at least make the chorus the same as the old one!
It's not all bad imo. The intro using the didgeridoo is noice.
Mix that in with the older song & we're set.

5 great wins in a row each followed by a deflating cringeworthy team song & 5 game day threads full of neutrals bagging this woeful mess. During a broadcast is bad enough but I was not prepared for how actually terrible it is live at Optus on Saturday night after such an amazing win! How on earth can you make an average tune to start with sound even bloody worse after a rejig? Just bin the lot & play Eagle Rock ffs!

The worst bit is they play it twice before eagle rock, before it used to only be once

Maybe its time we bin it and Eagle Rock is the new club song. I was at the 2018 Grand Final and that song was pretty much the anthem of the win....they just kept playing it on a loop.The worst bit is they play it twice before eagle rock, before it used to only be once

Alternating with our song.
Can you imagine this new song on repeat after a premiership
I wouldn’t care what they played after a premiership to be honest.
also, anyone heard whether the gala auction will be going ahead this year??

If you could belt out a great song it would enhance the experience
The more I listen to the song the more I don't get. For a footy song, you need something that is tribal as well as something that hypes you up. Get a band with a lead singer with a bit of gravel in his voice. Lemmy, Bon Scott, Cash sort of voice.
Simply put.
It needs to be a chant. Not a song.
keep the song for corporate events.
Keep the words from the new intro and chorus but as a chant like the players do it in the circle after the game.
It’s a no brainer
Last year was a balls up - items listed they never intended to sell... that sort of thing. They were not very happy with galabid and neither was I when they didn't honour 10 items!!
You'd think they would do something because they can sell all the current PI's due to the new manufacturer next year.
Knowing our luck they will just send them all overseas again.

In house jumper manufacturer + Vans for merch would be incredible.Should sign Vans as our manufacturing partner purely because the off-field apparel would be

Word on the FJGD board is Castore, very upmarket European brand. Check out Rangers FC's stuff for an idea.

There is no evidence though other than one person cluelessly linking it

Yeah I know, but most of the regulars on that board seem to think he’s got insider info. He works in the industry or something.
I wouldn’t mind Castore as long as their off field merch doesn’t carry the same $600 price tag that some of their athletic wear does. Otherwise, I’m crossing my fingers for a return to Puma
How broken was the relationship with Puma in 2017? Must have been some serious issues to end a long and successful partnership like that.
