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

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
