The AFL wants clubs to use rev-up entrance songs.

[Dosser]

Anything by Justin Bieber or Michael Bolton. That would get me so riled up and cranky I'd run through a brick wall in support of the team.

I'll admit I've always believed the club song to be a victory song and should only be sung in response to a win. It's why I liked Up there for Sydney when it used to be played as we ran on.

Let's not forget when it was played after EVERY goal!

I'm thinking Culture Club's 'Do You Really Want to Hurt Me?'

Nessum Dorma by Lucky Pav.

Nessum Dorma by Lucky Pav.

Surely that's for Freo?

It should be Nikki Webster's seminal classic Strawberry Kisses. Inspiring stuff....

Careful Jono, that sentence is one auto correct away from going horribly wrong.

That sentence is horribly wrong.

Nessum Dorma by Lucky Pav.

Typo, Nessun Dorma of course.

Absolutely right. I HATE the californication of our game. Go back to your bloody board room and stay there.

I'm with you Dim, but it got me thinking of songs and now I can't get Kalifornication by Red Hot Chilli Peppers out of my head.

AC/DC originated in Sydney, so any of their many great hits would be my preferred option.
Like INXS as well.

Why can't we be friends by War

I am happy for them to use any song to rev us up as the team comes out, so long as it mentions our club colours, has a banjo solo somewhere in it, and refers to cheering, nobility, shaking, thunder and victory in the lyrics.

If the afl want to rev up the crowd maybe they should turn up the radio (definitely not Channel 7 commentary team) pre-bounce.

I'm a fan of the G-Up that american sports do. A few conditions....the American sound systems at their football and baseball grounds are unbelievably good so we'd need to spend $ bringing the sound systems at the grounds up to speed. Secondly, they dont play full songs prior to the games, they only play parts of songs that pump the crowd.....ie Queen's ....We will rock you.......it works if the quality is great. If the sound system is something like a pilot's message onboard a cheap flight...well I think we've all been there. And I do like the idea of player choices, in some American sports...they put the player's choice up on the scoreboard and play it.....its funny to see the camera on the player dancing and his teamates ribbing him. Yes, we could learn more showmanship from other sports.....with the AFL's help not to keep taking personality out of the game.

This would be my worst nightmare.

And Tony Armstrong Primmy, please elaborate. Esoteric used in the pejorative? He actually sounds to me like he could be an interesting fellow. Adventurous even.

I follow the lad on twitter, and he drives the other boys nuts with his music recommendations, which amuses me no end. However when he came up with an album Valtari (Sigur Ros) I just had to check it on itunes, ended up downloading it for myself. Greenland? Iceland? Anyway it is definitely an Alternative choice for anyone and a surprisingly left of center recommendation from a 22yo AFL footballer, no matter how well educated he is. I think he is great.

As for the entrance song, not happy with the club song, which is a victory one for the win, but I do agree our version of Up There is a worthy contendor. Up there for Sydney, in there and fight, spirit of Sydney show them your might.....its got a lot going for it.. Cheap too I would imagine.

Ha! I have three of their albums. They are from Iceland. Very atmospheric. I recommend their albums ( ), and Agaetis Byrjun. I'm yet to hear Valtari which is their most recent album.
I'm a fan of Tony Armstrong too. Behind Ben McGlynn and Gary Rohan in the unlucky stakes. Played some great footy in 2012 I reckon. An exciting player with good taste.
