haha, touché mods. No complaints about your edit, totally understandable but isn't it odd how one particular tax payer funded, free to air radio station could play that, any time of the day without fear of censorship?

Wake up in the morning feeling like Ben Cousins
Grab my scarf and my beanie, I'm gonna hit the city
Before I leave, brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack
'Cause when I leave for the G, I ain't coming back
I'm talking pedicure on Wellingham's toes toes
Trying on all buddy's clothes, clothes
Wives blowing up our phones, phones
Pulling up to the game
Trying to get a little bit tipsy
Don't stop, make it pop
Didak, blow my mind up
Tonight, I'mma fight
'Til we see the sunlight
Tick tock on the clock
But the goals don't stop, no |

What harm will it do? |
It'll bring AFL games that little bit closer to staged WWE bouts, while continuing to divert the focus towards 'entertainment' and away from sport. Perhaps the highlight of your visits to the MCG is the crappy music played over the PA at half-time, but some of us actually enjoy watching football for its own sake. Changes like this make that increasingly difficult. |
The plan is to play the selected song as the team runs out onto the ground not during any part of the game.
Watching the game won't change at all.
I think melodrama is very much overrated |
They play the club song as the team runs out. That's the way it is. That's the way it ought to stay.
As an ex Mexican now living in Queensland i have had the awful opportunity to view a few games at the gaba, only to be greeted with rediculous music and the roar of lions after every Brisbane goal. Anyone else enjoyed this travesty?
|
Ha, I remember going to all the Pies v Swans games at the SCG in the 80s when Caper was playing. After every goal they played a song which went "Sydney, Syyyydney - show it to 'em Sydney, show 'em you're the one, show it to 'em Sydney...you're the mighty Swans.' Heck, Capper might have even sung it himself.
It has pretty much scarred me for life. So I say leave it the way it is; club songs only. |

Doesn't work when you are a troll. You can just keep inviting yourself by using different email addresses. |

Ed should stand up and tell the AFL that there will only be one song Collingwood ever runs out to, along with the one jumper with black & white stripes or white with black stripes that we will ever play in.
End of story!!!
It's a part of the game that makes AFL so special and unique to me. Can't believe the AFL want to introduce this crap for the small minded morons that will find it appealing for about 60 seconds. |
I guess you haven't been to the footy that much over the past 3 or so years.
They play music before the game, at quarter time, at half time and at three quarter time.
No one cares, its irrelevant.
At the end of the game the winning team gets their club song played but again most people don't care as nearly everyone is heading for the exits. |
I care. It's irritating (even when i like the song), reduces anticipation and kills crowd generated(real) atmosphere. |

They may as well play 'God Bless America'!
I'm sick of all this Yankee shit. Tell these corporate wankers to phuck off. It's our game. |

Given our new found enlightenment they should play:
"Sing if you're proud to be gay" as part of Collingwood's banner run through - even better they could play that in Turkey before the Anzac day game.

Good God! 
The T-20 Generation is running the show now? What's wrong with playing our Club song to run out with?
I'll tell you what if sports administrators think playing raucous music and having fireworks will bring the kids into footy they are barking up the wrong paradigm. It has worked for T-20 cricket - NOT!!!
Generation Whatever-comes-after-Y is so used to playing X-Box and Playstation they wouldn't know a real football game if they fell over it. |

I'd do more than that. In true American fashion I'd shoot 'em! |
