AFLW Bulldogs Song

Featured Replies

Posted

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.

Are you coping?

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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
