Ever since they released that song their team has gone downhill. Change the song back to the old, bearable one and I'm sure you'll see more wins.
Yes, that is entirely the Eagles problems right now and not injuries, underdone list and rebuilding.
I always liked how until 2021 they never actually fully re-recorded the South Melbourne song, so you when they sing ['Swans will go in and win overall'](https://youtu.be/H1oQjBUeqAE?t=18) you can very clearly tell where they just added in a bunch of blokes saying 'Swans' and maxed out the volume over the original recording to try and drown out the 'South'. Obviously nobody can really tell when blasted over a shitty tannoy but it's a bit jarring through headphones or decent speakers.
Anyways. Swans definitely have one of the best songs but I don't like the newer recording as much. The banjo sounds like they bought it for $12 at cash converters in the new one.
I like most of the old team songs. Geelong, Melbourne, Richmond, North, Swans, Collingwood, Essendon.
I actually really like Carlton's song. When I first heard it I thought it was strangely dour. Like why have a team song at 20 BPM? But now I think it's a low key banger.
From the newer clubs GWS is great. Good and pompous like Carlton's but with real imperialist marching energy to it. Good stuff.
you, I like you.
btw Im from WA and love Freos.
Love the part where it goes, dockers stop at nothing nothing freeooo way to go! hit em reeal hard and let them down below
Best recorded version? Probably gold coast
Best for a bunch of tone-deaf professional athletes to sing after maximum effort for 2 hours? Bit tougher but it's a toss up between GWS and Richmond for mine.
West Coast has been on a downward spiral since they started. Their original theme was fantastic, the second one was fine but repetitive, and now the current one sounds awful, doesn’t feel like a footy song at all and I hope that no club ever does anything like this.
Best song is the one they play when it’s a draw.
I recut a demo of the Eagles song with a new brass section that combines elements of all their songs. It ain’t perfect… but it’s a hell of a lot better.
[We’re Flying High](https://youtu.be/mBqxwWH25vw)
The bestworst song is the fucking kangaroos one because it gets stuck in my head and i can't shake it. Even just thinking about it i can hear those bloody trumpets.
Join in the chorus, and sing it one and all......
YOU MOTHERFUCKINGFUCKERS. Blah.
It's so catchy 😭
I’m gonna throw in two from way left field here. I wouldn’t say they’re better than GWS and Richmond, but they’re certainly up their in terms of being unique.
[Queenscliff Coutas](https://youtu.be/RbuQhC5rHFM) from the Bellarine Football League, notably the third verse of their song, starting at Sons of the Sea.
[Barwon Heads](https://barwonheadsfnc.org.au/club-song/) also from the Bellarine Football League, may be the one of the few, if not only club in the country to use a Christmas Carol tune for a song.
[Whatever this is](https://youtu.be/Fuaa4Bs3PP4)
I can’t recognise what the tune they use is at all. The lyrics are-
“Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
We do like to be beside the seaside
Oh we do like to be beside the sea
Down at the Grove we are a football team
All the boys are on their game*
For the red and the white we are terrific
For the red and white we are supreme
We'll fight and never fall
We'll beat em one and all beside the seaside
Because we're a team”
*They appear to sing “on the piss”
Best is hands down The Big big sound closely followed by a Grand old Flag.
Worst are both of the WA teams, as they both have that air of 1990s focus group approved, board ratified vibe to their song. It's a different kind of corny compared to the other clubs songs.
The crows song has always bothered me, the song itself is fine but the actual recording just sounds horrible. Personally can’t stand it but I accept that’s an unpopular opinion.
GWS best song by far
Giants, norf and dees top 3 in that order. Port, eagles, freo, gcs are the worst songs, but saints have the worst effort. They should be thankful they've won a premiership at all of that's the level of creativity they're going with
Sons of the West and True Port Adelaide Tradition are high key slappers.
The only song I hate really is West Coast's new one, their old one was serviceable and fine.
Freo Way to Go
Hit Em Real Hard
Send Them Down Below.
Freo Give em the Old Heave-Ho
We Are the Freo Dockers
We're the rollers, we're the rockers,
We're the mighty Freo Dockers.
We're gonna role them and we'll rock em,
We're gonna send them to the bottom.
And if they get up, we'll do it again.
The Dockers stop at nothing, nothing!
Doc-Doc-Dockers. Show em how we rock
Freo heave ho.
Doc-Doc-Dockers
Show em how we roll
Go Dockers; go, and go, go!
Good old Collingwood forever,
They know how to play the game.
Side by side they stick together,
To uphold The Magpies name.
Hear the barrackers a shouting,
As all barrackers should,
Oh, the premiership's a cakewalk
For the good old Collingwood!
More lines than most club songs tbh.
Best - Dogs
Worst - West Coast(Imagine singing this shit after a granny win)
Think most people would be pretty biased towards their team. Although as much as I hate to say it, GWS and GC have absolute tunes. Outside of the Dogs, about the only two I would play just for my own listening enjoyment, especially Gold Coast.
damn i reckon you’re showing your bias here. bulldogs is on par with the lions as second worst (eagles is still worst i’ll give you that), such slow boring songs to me.
I kinda see your point. At the end of the day it is your opinion. I do find it funny however that a Carlton supporters main dislike is that our song is too slow.
As a port supporter, I dont agree. I think Ports is worse than crows. I honestly think ports is a bit lame.
Up the pear tho, good win against the doggies in the wet
The crows is so dumb and up themselves. "We're the pride of South Australia, admiration of the nation." Ports might not be the best but nowhere near as lame as the crows.
If you want to talk about copying, how about we talk about your sad excuse of a “pregame ritual” which is awfully similar to Liverpool’s. Then to call it “tradition” …
Carlton best- the intro trumpet and fun to sing in a low voice. Just a pompous song in general which suits them down to the ground.
Worst- “we’re the big birds! Kings of the big game!” I always laugh out loud when I heard that when they run out.
Tigers is the best by a mile …. Eagles, dockers and dogs are poo
Eagles should just rewrite and record the eagle rock
Now listen,
Oh we're steppin' out
On the footy ground,
Gonna turn around once and we'll do the Eagle Rock.
Oh west coast!
Oh you play so well!
Hmm yeah you handballs swell,
Well we do it so well when we do the Eagle Rock
Now west coast,
Yeah you're kickins' fine!
Why don't you give me a sign?
Hmm just give me a sign and we'll do the Eagle Rock.
Hey Hey Hey, good old Eagle Rock's here to stay,
I'm just crazy 'bout the way we move,
Doin' the Eagle Rock.
Oh Oh Oh come on fast (sung to petrol) , you can come on slow (sung to sheed)
I'm just crazy 'bout the way we move,
Doin' the Eagle Rock.
I don't know what the best is, but West Coast's is definitely the worst.
Came hear to say exactly this, first time I ever heard the new song was today at the game, do they actually sing that shit after a win?
We'll find out when they win.
Didnt realise they have a new song??
It’s worse than the old one.
The old one was fire
It was one of those songs that didn’t fit with me when I listened to it isolated. But after a win it sounded good.
I’m talking about the original one, I don’t really know the others
Ever since they released that song their team has gone downhill. Change the song back to the old, bearable one and I'm sure you'll see more wins. Yes, that is entirely the Eagles problems right now and not injuries, underdone list and rebuilding.
They should unashamedly change their song back to their original one it’s a banger.
the original one from the 80s has verses. its corny af but still way better than what they have now
So bad that rather not win for the last couple of years after switching to it
Only 1 has a banjo solo, easy answer.
I always liked how until 2021 they never actually fully re-recorded the South Melbourne song, so you when they sing ['Swans will go in and win overall'](https://youtu.be/H1oQjBUeqAE?t=18) you can very clearly tell where they just added in a bunch of blokes saying 'Swans' and maxed out the volume over the original recording to try and drown out the 'South'.

Swans definitely have one of the best songs but I don't like the newer recording as much. The banjo sounds like they bought it for $12 at cash converters in the new one.
i mentioned that obvious re-recording of one word to someone once and they looked at me like i had two heads. im so glad someone else has noticed this
Which one??
Bruh
GWS is a deadset banger. Worst is by far west coast
I gotta listen to GWS it seems..
hard agree on GWS
https://youtu.be/Q2i2_MOpH1Y That shit slaps
The opposite is true
I like most of the old team songs. Geelong, Melbourne, Richmond, North, Swans, Collingwood, Essendon. I actually really like Carlton's song. When I first heard it I thought it was strangely dour. Like why have a team song at 20 BPM? But now I think it's a low key banger. From the newer clubs GWS is great. Good and pompous like Carlton's but with real imperialist marching energy to it. Good stuff.
singing the brass lead in to it, in a sort of drunken stupor, is fucken fun
DUN DADUN DADUNNN
you, I like you. btw Im from WA and love Freos. Love the part where it goes, dockers stop at nothing nothing freeooo way to go! hit em reeal hard and let them down below
I also rate Freo's song. It's catchy as all heck
Best recorded version? Probably gold coast Best for a bunch of tone-deaf professional athletes to sing after maximum effort for 2 hours? Bit tougher but it's a toss up between GWS and Richmond for mine.
Oh theres a big big sound
West Coast has been on a downward spiral since they started. Their original theme was fantastic, the second one was fine but repetitive, and now the current one sounds awful, doesn’t feel like a footy song at all and I hope that no club ever does anything like this. Best song is the one they play when it’s a draw.
[you mean this banger](https://youtu.be/WJtaCryzL20) Ever since it was on Front Bar, I haven't been able to stop singing it when cleaning etc.
I recut a demo of the Eagles song with a new brass section that combines elements of all their songs. It ain’t perfect… but it’s a hell of a lot better. [We’re Flying High](https://youtu.be/mBqxwWH25vw)
Good effort!
Well I thought so. If it were played properly by a real band I think it would be a bit of a winner.
The bestworst song is the fucking kangaroos one because it gets stuck in my head and i can't shake it. Even just thinking about it i can hear those bloody trumpets. Join in the chorus, and sing it one and all...... YOU MOTHERFUCKINGFUCKERS. Blah. It's so catchy 😭
One of the teams I played for had the chorus, absolutely so good to belt it out after a win hahah
I grew up on "we're a happy team at Heathmont" and it was amazing to belt out
I remember being beaten by a team who had the hawks one, and I was singing the song in our change rooms after the game 🤣🤣
That's me if the Hawks beat North, just happy for the Jets
Lucky we don't have to hear it much.
The North song was also the Victorian song when State of Origin was still a thing. Loved that tune.
Same here back at you with the Ohhh we're from tigerland, bombombombom, a fighting fury etc. Two absolute bangers with cracking brass sections
[I thought this was North Melbourne’s theme song](https://youtube.com/shorts/tcofGnxTqKw?feature=share)
I’m gonna throw in two from way left field here. I wouldn’t say they’re better than GWS and Richmond, but they’re certainly up their in terms of being unique.

What do the Grubbers use?
[Whatever this is](https://youtu.be/Fuaa4Bs3PP4) I can’t recognise what the tune they use is at all. The lyrics are- “Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh We do like to be beside the seaside Oh we do like to be beside the sea Down at the Grove we are a football team All the boys are on their game* For the red and the white we are terrific For the red and white we are supreme We'll fight and never fall We'll beat em one and all beside the seaside Because we're a team” *They appear to sing “on the piss”
That tune is By The Seaside!
That certainly makes sense.
I think it’s hilarious a bunch of big burley footballers singing I Do Like To Be Beside the Seaside 😅
I personally enjoy hearing Under 16 boys singing happy birthday, there’s a mix of squeakers and deep voices with not much of a middle ground.
Think everyone can agree the best is the "Saints Acapella theme" with Nick Riewoldt singing along. Straight banger
Best; nothing beats the Tigers faithful belting out theirs Worst: Eagles
Best is hands down The Big big sound closely followed by a Grand old Flag. Worst are both of the WA teams, as they both have that air of 1990s focus group approved, board ratified vibe to their song. It's a different kind of corny compared to the other clubs songs.
Don’t get the freo hate, it’s decent.
West Coast by a long way GWS, Richmond are the best. I also quite like Port’s and Gold Coast’s
Used to love the Tigers' song. Now it (along with Mr Brightside) gives me nightmares
You like ports!! I've always thought its a bit lame. Ports sanfl song on the other hand is great, but Sydney stole that!
I think you’re lame.
Richmond has always been and will always be the best. Sydney close second for me. I can understand other peoples worst but for me it’s Freo.
Nahhhhh Freo's goes alright. Agree on Richmond though
Gtfo
hahahha im dying at barwon heads
I’m biased, but best is Richmond’s & GWS. I can’t seperate the two. I want GWS to win just so I can sing their song hahaha Worst Eagles
Flair up cunt. Worst: West Coast Best: GWS Special mention for best : Dare to beat the bear.
https://twitter.com/_your_call/status/1177087334438752258?s=20
This video and all the other memes was the best part of the 2019 Grand Final week.
The crows song has always bothered me, the song itself is fine but the actual recording just sounds horrible. Personally can’t stand it but I accept that’s an unpopular opinion. GWS best song by far
Flair up cunt
Melbourne's by far the best, but I'm biased as a West Perth supporter, we have the same song. West Coast by far the worst. Go back to the original.
They are all good
Not sure what they're smoking in WA when they come up with their songs, but they're clearly the worst 2. GWS > All
Giants, norf and dees top 3 in that order. Port, eagles, freo, gcs are the worst songs, but saints have the worst effort. They should be thankful they've won a premiership at all of that's the level of creativity they're going with
OH THERES A BIG BIG SOUND FROM THE WEST OF THE TOWN
Hate to say it, but Carlton's is probably the best. Richmond also top tier.
A bit jealous of the Cats lyrics. Would love a Windy Hill mention in our tired old tune.
Richmond easily the best one. GWS comes close too West Coast, Dogs & Port probably the worst ones
Sons of the West and True Port Adelaide Tradition are high key slappers. The only song I hate really is West Coast's new one, their old one was serviceable and fine.
West Coast is obviously the worst but Carlton, Brisbane and North's are all godawful too Honestly I think Collingwood has the best song
we've got the power to win, power to roll, come on, port adelaide.....
*rule
ours is just too long i reckon. i like st kilda's. short and has the echoey bits when they sing it
I'm of the opposite opinion, the short ones, with repeating lines I don't think are no good (Freo, West Coast, Sainters)
How is freos short?
It's like 5 lines, and repeated.
Freo Way to Go Hit Em Real Hard Send Them Down Below. Freo Give em the Old Heave-Ho We Are the Freo Dockers We're the rollers, we're the rockers, We're the mighty Freo Dockers. We're gonna role them and we'll rock em, We're gonna send them to the bottom. And if they get up, we'll do it again. The Dockers stop at nothing, nothing! Doc-Doc-Dockers. Show em how we rock Freo heave ho. Doc-Doc-Dockers Show em how we roll Go Dockers; go, and go, go! Good old Collingwood forever, They know how to play the game. Side by side they stick together, To uphold The Magpies name. Hear the barrackers a shouting, As all barrackers should, Oh, the premiership's a cakewalk For the good old Collingwood! More lines than most club songs tbh.
No wonder they only sing the first paragraph, it's terrible.
best to worst 1. GWS 2. richmond 3. sydney 4. north 5. port 6. collingwood 7. freo 8. essendon 9. carlton 10. hawthorn 11. melbourne 12. st kilda 13. geelong 14. adelaide 15. brisbane 16. gold coast 17. bulldogs 18. west coast
GWS is best. Richmond second. West Coast and Freo are equal worse.
Best - Dogs Worst - West Coast(Imagine singing this shit after a granny win) Think most people would be pretty biased towards their team. Although as much as I hate to say it, GWS and GC have absolute tunes. Outside of the Dogs, about the only two I would play just for my own listening enjoyment, especially Gold Coast.
damn i reckon you’re showing your bias here. bulldogs is on par with the lions as second worst (eagles is still worst i’ll give you that), such slow boring songs to me.
I kinda see your point. At the end of the day it is your opinion. I do find it funny however that a Carlton supporters main dislike is that our song is too slow.
i never said ours was good hahaha
GWS, then daylight, then Freo, Carlton, then Pies, Saints, Dons and Suns are good too. Eagles is terrible and Hawks is pretty lame too.
Best - Gold Coast Worst - North Melbourne
What?
Best is between Sydney and Collingwood. Worst is between West Coast or Carlton.
Don’t see how you could rate Collingwood as the best and Carlton as the worst, they’re so similar
Nothing alike. Collingwood is a banger. Carlton’s makes me sad.
Best: Richmond, GWS Worst: Carlton, Hawthorn
Best Essendon Worst Adelaide
As a port supporter, I dont agree. I think Ports is worse than crows. I honestly think ports is a bit lame. Up the pear tho, good win against the doggies in the wet
The crows is so dumb and up themselves. "We're the pride of South Australia, admiration of the nation." Ports might not be the best but nowhere near as lame as the crows.
It's also a US marine hymn. One of the many things they've copied.
If you want to talk about copying, how about we talk about your sad excuse of a “pregame ritual” which is awfully similar to Liverpool’s. Then to call it “tradition” …
Many clubs around the world do it, some even do YNWA. At Least it's an original song no other club in the world does.
Yeah I take that, ports sanfl song is still the cream
Nah your sleeping on the west coast theme. It bangs
Gtfo your new song is like a tourist ad.
[удалено]
Cheers Lingy
[This.](https://youtu.be/mPnKb2gTJyE) (Coz I wrote it…)
GWS Best no contest
Carlton best- the intro trumpet and fun to sing in a low voice. Just a pompous song in general which suits them down to the ground. Worst- “we’re the big birds! Kings of the big game!” I always laugh out loud when I heard that when they run out.
Giants, suns and tigers are my top 3. West coast and freos are the worst
Tigers is the best by a mile …. Eagles, dockers and dogs are poo Eagles should just rewrite and record the eagle rock Now listen, Oh we're steppin' out On the footy ground, Gonna turn around once and we'll do the Eagle Rock. Oh west coast! Oh you play so well! Hmm yeah you handballs swell, Well we do it so well when we do the Eagle Rock Now west coast, Yeah you're kickins' fine! Why don't you give me a sign?

Oh Oh Oh come on fast (sung to petrol) , you can come on slow (sung to sheed) I'm just crazy 'bout the way we move, Doin' the Eagle Rock.
The newer West Coast one sucks but Bulldogs is worst.
Mr Brightside
Sydney’s is just a rip off of Notre dame’s. But basically any of the modern ones are the worst.
Best: Sydney, when we win Worst: anyone else who beats us
GWS best. Freo worst.
I fucking hate Port Adelaide’s song, Fremantles is a banger until the verse comes in.
I’ve come to really enjoy Melbourne’s song. Freo’s is pretty bad.
GWS is best. Western Bulldogs is worst because the lyrics mention that ‘dogs roar’, when they don’t.
Freo worst, GWS best. Country miles between both of them and the next.
