AFLW Bulldogs Song

Watched the AFLW replay of the Dees and Dogs game and only just realized they've re-recorded their theme song with a female singer and have slightly modified the lyrics.

To put it nicely, it's atrocious. Absolutely shocking. Very cheesy and cringeworthy.

Love how teams have modified jumpers etc but messing with the theme song seems sacrilegious and if they are going to do it then at least try to make it work.

Very glad we have not meddled with our great song, but even if we did it would still be better than this mess.

    It's a pretty terrible rendition. An unfortunate overdo of what should have been just a simple change.

    All 'modernised' footy songs sound weird to me, even just the newer club's ones. The change of wording was necessary but they didn't have to change the style. Lucky us that there wasn't anything that needed changing about our song- the best song there is!

    It's kind of surprising that more of the teams don't have 'boys' etc. in their songs... Essendon, Sydney and North are the only others?

    Maybe in the same vein where the male teams seem to have multiple guys they could have got a large group of women to do the rendition. Does sound a little weird, I'm basically everything is the same between the mens and womens team. One club, one song.

    Yeah, just.

    Granted, their song is gender specific (ie, "SONS of the west"), perhaps that's why they felt compelled to change the lyric.

    Either way, its a terrible song.

    Ours is clearly the best song in the AFL.

    So, let me get this straight, you have an issue with them changing any gender specific wording to match the sex of the players singing it, and that they have re-recorded it with a female singing it.

    Not only that, but it's not about our club.

    If this is one of the biggest issues in your life for you to worry about, then I'm quite jealous.

    Not much of an improvement over the Bulldogs current song. Which they'd go back to "Sons of the 'Scray".

    I actually really like Mike Brady's rendition. Speed it up to 1.25 speed and it could easily be their game-day song.

    Fine with changing the lyrics, but why go with one solitary female singer? It's weird. Would sound way better with several female singers.

    Just out of curiosity, which AFL teams have more than 1 singer?

    Didn't think you wanted to talk about things that weren't about our club??

    Does ours have more than one singer, or is it digitally remastered?

    I think ours sounds like there's more than one singer, though I could be mistaken.

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
