Which team has the worst song?

[Yuri H]

As a mere newcomer to AFL and still learning my way around, I haven't heard very many of the songs yet - but I do confess, as I watched the GF and the Eagles ran out onto the field, I stared at the screen and wondered who'd plugged in a "Terrible Forgotten Hits From the 1980s" cd accidentally.

Now I'm very curious to hear Freo's, though, if it can manage to be mentioned in the same aghast breath as the Eagles'.

[tantrum]

Nice one Yuri!

But I can confirm the Freo song is the worst and makes the Eagles song sound like one of Beethoven's finest.

Nah...for me it has to be the "BRuce Club" on Monty Python...

This is the wattle
Its the emblem of the land
You can stick it in a bottle
You can hold it in your had
AMEN

That Bruce Club tune reminds me of the Australian cricket team's song - very simple but very effective.

Under the Southern Cross we stand
A native of our native land
A sprig of wattle in our hand
Australia - YOU ******* BEAUTY

What is the Brumbies' song?
Can anyone pass on any songs from the other, less important games being played in this country.

PS. Fell asleep watching the first Test of the Who Cares Cup last night. And I thought I was a sports nut.
I suppose I did play golf and cricket in one day - and I'm hardly a fitness freak.

Oh when the saints go marching in
oh when the saints, go marching in
oh how i want to be with st kilda
oh when the saints go marching in

repeat...

So boring....

[treespirit]

Any one that has a guitar rather than a banjo isn't worth the playing.

[Pommie Swannie]

can't decide between the weagles and port. Actuall, having seen weagles fans sing it with genuine passion for their team, rather than port fans ignoring their club song and continuing to spit on opposition fans...

port's song is the worst!!

WITH PLEASURE!!!

Ahh my beloved Brumbies (Champions 2004 and Swans Premiers 2005, my life is complete lol).

Ok it goes to the tune of Click go the Shears:

From the heart of mountain country, where the Brumby reigns supreme,
From the country's capital there comes a rugby team,
We keep the spirit going, as we stick it to the foe,
And crush the opposition with the final telling blow.

Chorus:
Stick to your guns boys, play with pride,
Hit it up the middle then spin the ball out wide,
Standing at the coalface, taking on the best,
Proud to be Australian with a Brumby on our chest.

We are the Brumbies, wild and free
Tough and exciting is what we try to be,
We run the ball around on our way to victory,
And they'll never ever tame us,
'Cause we are the ACT.

Chorus

Actually a pretty good song and the changed lyrics are actually meaningful, dunno why they got rid of the Rugby Choir a few years ago. Haven't heard the song in years.

If you're getting to good chants:

Tune of 'Go West':

You're **** and you know you are.

Repeat x100.

[R-1]

It's a good song but I'm struck by the incongruity of things like "tough" and "wild" and "free" then at the end "we are the ACT".

Tough wild Canberrans? Hmmmmm.

And I say this as a Raiders fan.

[The Undertaker]

Worst club songs.

Yep,i agree on West Coast's one too.

Hawthorn's one annoys me too.It sounds like a song from a children's TV show.

Does anyone remember the one the Kangaroos used a couple of years ago,"Kanga-rrooooosss hey!Kanga-roooooosssss,Kanga-roooosssss,hey!Kangarooos!Kangarooooosss!"It was sung to the tune of Gary Glitter's Rock and Roll Part 2.

It was blue!It was white!It was really **********e!

If you think any of the AFL club songs are annoying,then i suggest listening to some of the NRL ones-You ain't heard anything yet!

"Roosterman,Roosterman.I wanna be a Roosterfan!"

[Captain]

Gee I actually like the West Coast song and am so supprised that the majority of people hate it.

For me, Freo's and Port's are definitely the worst.

Love the Tigers song as well.

Well tough wild free brumbies...

Not so tough and free when you get a helicopter and a sniper with 1000 rounds......still sitting on the fence about that one.

As for pathetic team songs:

Australia - they need to get somthing new and different. Advance blah blah fair gives me the shi7s.

[tez]

Without doubt, Essendon have the worst. Carlton and
Adelaide aren't too bad.

What can I say....it's my anthem and I sing proudly. That doesn't stop it being a terrible dirge with odd words.
