[HoneyBadger35]

Even at my lowest moments, the LEACHSCLUSIVE has been there for me. Please don’t let me down now, not like this.

Welcome back Dad

So have we changed the song or what? Surely they’d announce it at the launch if they’re gonna do it

 

[Biscuit45]

I can’t see anything at the moment that suggested the topic was brought up during the launch unfortunately. Perhaps they’ll go the quiet route and just reinstate the previous without the fanfare that came with the Banner’s return.

Don Pyke in his interview with ABC on March 9 seemed to suggest the wheels are in motion with a song change, but there's a bit to work through and it's unlikely that they'll be ready to swap it out before round 1. He was pretty cagey on any details, there may be commercial arrangements in play?

 

[Biscuit45]

Funny, they played both the WASO and Birds of Tokyo renditions of the Club theme today (during the Guernsey presentation and at the conclusion of the Launch respectively), but they only played the chorus for the latter.

Yeah I wonder if they’ll just edit the new version so that it focuses on the more familiar chorus and gets rid of the new verses

I do agree that the chorus in the current version isn’t too bad as it has a nice big build up with added trumpets, but I can’t get used to “we’rethebigbirds,kingsofthebiggame” rather than “we’re the big birds; kings of the big game”.

Though I think it could work if they modify the song to lean into the chorus instead.

How haven't they sorted this before the season started?

 

[AFL4ME]

Just spoke with Don Pyke, he said the current song is too mellow, he said next week they'll go straight to the chorus to start with as the players run out. He's had lots of feedback about changing the song!

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Ian Kenny's voice was always gonna be too mellow for a footy anthem.
The same in this guest vocals in this Northlane song.
Would rather Northlane's singer lol.

Ever the comedian is Goss.

 

[Billy ray]

Why not? Are there contracts/agreements in place that the song is in place for X number of years or something?

The club knows we want it changed. They know a vast majority will accept a reversion back to the 2018 one (for now). So what gives?

Might be playing the odds the songs under contract for the next year or two apart from running out no one is going to hear it that often…

Saves money on a payout of contract.

I would assume this is the case

 

[Godfather32]

I would assume this is the case

I would assume we wanted a decent song when we engaged BOT and they didn't hold up that end of the bargain
