No Eagle, No banner just run out

Why not soccer style? The umpires walk out, pick up the match ball with both teams in unison behind them side by side. They then shake hands one by one before getting into position. This is sure to instill a trembling fear into visiting opposition.

 

[bzparkes]

Reckon the players should run out and split either side of Rock the Rock tearing a live chicken apart, where he then eyeballs the oppo players and points to them. "You're next" flashes up on the big screen.

That'll really take things up a notch.

I actually don't mind that

At all grounds though.

It's such a wasted opportunity the way these losers run out. Best stadium that can basically be a nightclub and we ger nothing.

Picture the, lights blacked out, spotlights in the shape of eagles dancing across the field. Michael Jordan theme song playing lights twinkling could be phones or done another way.



Instead we get the most boring entertainment even. No wonder the young kids go for freo

I've actually never thought about it that way, but you're 100% right.

Why bother having such an amazing stadium if we're going to get our players to run out to tepid Birds of Tokyo through a glorified blow up doll? Wonder who made those calls.

 

[Cuzz09]

Black out the Stadium

Blue and Gold spotlights of the logo as we run out then blue and gold fireworks.

If you've been to a Scorchers or Wildcats game, it's obvious there's only one company doing this stuff in Perth and they can't be arsed individualising things if not required to. It's also obvious that someone there thinks 6 people holding flags is far more impressive than it actually is.

Is it the same company that employs the one guy in the Eagles, Dockers & Wildcats mascot outfit?

The only hope is that someone with sense decides to revert back to the original song (or something closer to it). It was never perfect but it can’t be worse than the current crap.

They won’t though. They probably paid $50-100k to concoct that pile of crap and would be too embarrassed to abandon it after a handful of years.

…and why the didgeridoo and sticks etc? - yes I know ‘the club is proud to celebrate it’s connection to yada yada yada’

Box ticking tokenism. Honestly surprised they haven’t switched to a female vocal lead for it too.

I hate it. It’s a joke and I cringe when it’s played (not all that ****ing often after games but I have to listen to them come out to that crap).

Whoever was behind that at the club should be sacked.

Tbh, the didgeridoo and sticks at the start is the best part of the new song

Ahhh it just doesn’t fit for me.

Nobody else has felt the need to do that.

Not even Freo.

I think CHATGTP could come up with a better version of the song......just pitch it to the tight asses at the Eagles and they will love it.

Spend the extra money on the catering at the next board meeting

 

[kaII]

Hard agree at how underwhelming our use of Optus is. But also acknowledge we haven't really had many night games to do much. Maybe there's a reason why they can't do a full stadium blackout Bulls-style but it'd be lit right before the players run out

Also what's with the trash halftime show.

Why not get 5 people from the crowd and have a hot dog eating contest. Watching people try to smash down those dry optus hotdogs will be very entertaining.

Changing the song would be an underrated breath of fresh air for the club. Its just a disaster - it takes way too long to get going, the didgeridoo and sticks are just odd, its overly synthesised and has no character. Whilst we are at it, just go back to a normal banner.

The reality is that the club probably paid an obscene amount of money to come up these changes and those people are probably sitting back and protecting their position by saying its ok. Its not. Get rid of it.

(Verse 1)
Flying high, in the endless sky,
We're the Eagles, watch us soar, so high.
With courage, strength, and heart so bold,
In the West, we'll never fold.

(Pre-Chorus)
We wear the blue and gold with pride,
Together, side by side.
We're the West Coast Eagles, hear our cry,
In unity, we'll touch the sky.

(Chorus)
Eagles, oh, we're fierce and true,
In the West, we'll always stand by you.
With wings outstretched, we'll reach for more,
Our spirit soars, forever we'll soar!

(Verse 2)
From the shores to the mighty plains,
We'll fight on through the pouring rains.
Our history's written in the wind,
In our hearts, the eagles' kin.

(Pre-Chorus)
We wear the blue and gold with pride,
Together, side by side.
We're the West Coast Eagles, hear our cry,
In unity, we'll touch the sky.

(Chorus)
Eagles, oh, we're fierce and true,
In the West, we'll always stand by you.
With wings outstretched, we'll reach for more,
Our spirit soars, forever we'll soar!

(Bridge)
From Perth to Subi, Optus now our home,
In the stadium's roar, our foes will roam.
We'll rise above, with strength untold,
In the west, where legends are told.

(Pre-Chorus)
We wear the blue and gold with pride,
Together, side by side.
We're the West Coast Eagles, hear our cry,
In unity, we'll touch the sky.

(Chorus)
Eagles, oh, we're fierce and true,
In the West, we'll always stand by you.
With wings outstretched, we'll reach for more,
Our spirit soars, forever we'll soar!

(Outro)
Eagles, forever we'll soar!
Eagles, forever we'll soar!
Eagles, forever we'll soar!

How hard can it be to get a couple of tenors, support them with the Perth Symphony Orchestra and record a punchy, old world sounding club song? Heck, record multiple versions featuring different instruments, pick the best sounding one then leave it alone, forever.

Searched for 'West Coast original song lyrics' and didn't realise it was a Lana Del Ray song.

Thankfully, Chatgpt came to my rescue to rewrite that song to suit our club.

Enjoy.

I see big Dicks swinging!
Oh Eagles Eagles, we love you
I see big Dicks swinging! Oh Eagles Eagles, we love you
I see big Dicks swinging! Oh Eagles Eagles, we love you
I see big Dicks swinging!

Down at the West Coast, they got a saying
"If you're not cheering, then you're not playing"
But we've got the passion, we've got the passion
In us, don't we?
Down at the West Coast, we get this feeling like
Victory could happen, that's why we're believing
In you for the moment, in you for the moment
Eagles true, yeah you

I see big Dicks swinging!
I see big Dicks swinging!

Down at the West Coast, we got our icons
Our soaring Eagles, our
Kings of the Sky-ons
And we've got the spirit, we've got the spirit
In us, don't we?
Down at the West Coast, we love our footy
Our golden goals and footy fan groupies
And we've got the spirit, we've got the spirit
In us, don't we?

I see big Dicks swinging!
I see big Dicks swinging!

We push it hard, they pull away, we're feeling hotter than fire
I guess that no team ever really made us feel that much higher
We cheer for you, Eagles, boy, it's you we admire
Your win, your win

Does she have a personal trainer?
