WHADDA WE SING!



Recommended Posts

I've always loved listening to the Tigers fans sing.

Oh we're from tiiiiger,....YELLOW AND BLACK...oh we're from tigerrrrrland.

and at the grand final...the hawks fans with

We love our club and we PLAY TO WIN, riding the bumps....etc

both of these little lines are absoluted belted out

i was just thinking back to the days, at the dees games early 00's...the.." as we sing this song to you.. WHADDA WE SING"

used to be loud..not as loud, but loud

i'd love to hear it belted out when we wing games, because it wasn't this year, and it has nothing to do with form- it's just dropped off over the years

i say BRING IT BACK

There was a thread on Bigfooty not so long ago that gets dug up ever so often...

The vote came in as the Tiges having the best song, followed by the dees. I reckon that's probably fair enough... I hate the Tiges more than any other club, but their song is a corker.

Just shout it out loud, we don't get to do it often enough.

For those of us who were lucky enough to be at the Freo game this year, I swear if you were outside listening to the noise you would have thought it was a grand final crowd.

I had a bit of a sore throat the next day, strangely enough.

All club songs are song with more aggression when the team is winning than losing. From 2000-2004, you could hear the "WHADDA WE SING!?" clearly. Now, no one cares. Hawks were the same. Tigers are the exception because they just have a kick ass song and need the "Yellow and Black" as they haven't had anything else to cheer for in 20 years.

Absolutely correct Dappa Dan. I once coached a tigers junior league side, and that song is the best team building and group consolidating song there is.

Grand Old Flag is a sentimental tear jerker, but the next best.

This is the song on which the Toiyges is based. Remember it when you next hear them sing their song, will put a whole new perspective on the club and its supporters.....

Picky picky picky.

Freo was a good loud day (at least the second half of the game) and I won't hear otherwise.

Yeah - the crowd noise at the Freo and Brisbane games was surprisingly loud.

The few times we have been able to sing it over the last 2 years, I have always put the hand on the heart and belted out the "Wadda we sing" part and love it.

However, as a side issue and a bit of trivia, which is the only AFL club song not to mention the name of the team in the lyrics?

Of course, the answer is self evident, but nevertheless, it has always made me wonder.

Having said that, the name of the club is mentioned in the second verse, which of course, no-one ever sings. In fact, I would be interested to know how many actually know the words to the second verse.

Don't get me wrong, I love our song, but in cultural terms, I wonder why we don't get to sing about who we actually are.

Cheers

Suzie, I'm definitely with you.

It was quite an amazing and intimate crowd. Both reminded me a lot of the crowd at the P.A. game of '07 (when we were robbed).

Everyone was into it, every decision seemed life changing and everybody could feel it.

After the Brisbane game i couldn't speak for a week, which was bad because Holiday program started the next day and i couldn't welcome any of the kids. Sometimes it would start squeeking, i considered that i had nodes on my vocal chords, then ignored it.

But yeah, the "WHADDA WE SING" certainly got a belting out around where I was. I started screaming for them to keep playing the song because they onlyplayed it twice i think, ended up starting our own version and everyone around joined in.

Great moments, and anyone who says our fans are soft and fickle can fk off.

There might not be many of us, but we've put up with a lot of crap and probably have the same base hardcore supporter group that any team has

i didnt even know our song had a second verse

edit: with the help of google

Oh, the team played fine in the year Thirty-nine,

We're the Demons that no one can lick, lick, lick

And you'll find us there at the final bell

With the spirit of Twenty-six, six, six.

Every heart beats true, for the Red and the Blue,

As we sing this song to you

(what do we sing)

Should old acquaintance be forgot

Keep your eye on the Red and the Blue

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
