'The AFL has decided...'

What a bunch of [censored]. Who the [censored] gave them the idea that we want ANYTHING about this game changed?

    Gillon is a [censored], who is too influenced by the Yanks and other sports.

    His super panel is just another example.

    I was just thinking the other day that what we really need to make our football experience complete is for the classic songs of Carlton, Richmond and Melbourne to sound more like the putrid GC17 and GWS equivalents.

    Just [censored] off already Dil.

    Please tell me this is a parody article highlighting how hopelessly out of touch the AFL hierarchy are and their addiction to fixing things that aren't broken and their constant desecration of footy traditions.

    It can not be real.

    I can't imagine that this is as it's been described.

    Mostly likely the songs have been touched up to sound clearer.

    It's a high as a kite grand flag

    It's the threads we love

    Of the team we homies with

    The team of the blood and the crips

    Every gunshot rings through 

    For the red and the blue

    As we rap this beat for you

    Should ya'all smoke weed and never get caught

    Keep yo eye on us or else.

    This better not be real. 

    “It’s a Grand old Flag” is the property of the MFC and it’s Members/Supporters

    It is steeped in traditions the AFL can only dream about

    There is absolutely no way this could ever possibly turn out well for the AFL.  There is a flat zero chance the fans will listen to a re-recording of their songs and say: 'Sound great... change is good.'

    The old style of signing is part of the cultural fabric of the game; I dread to think what they may sound like now.

    I presume it's a new arrangement and recording of the old song. What interests me, though, is who owns the IP of the song? Does this mean the AFL rather than the clubs themselves owns the rights to each club's theme song? 

  • Quote

    Fear not. 

    At my parents house I have the 7” vinyl of the traditional version. 

    Does anyone have a turntable I can borrow?

    I anm really angry about this, if it is real. 

    The Fable Singers totally rock

    The AFL doesn’t. 

     

    No doubt Dr. who will think its marvellous for some strange reason....

    That was my immediate thought also.

    Have the AFL shared their 'updated' versions with the 16 clubs?

    It's sounds ludicrous.

    Bloody atrocious! A national anthem is our song - as it is! I want my grandkids to take their children to the  'G, to sit in the Sthn Stand and to listen to the victory song of the Dees being belted out as a representation of the historical recurrence of such an outcome. A new song, yeah, yeah, just won't do that, baby, baby. We should not allow Gill to dictate to us in this matter; should he go ahead, we should then be ready to substitute the historical song for the existing song on every occasion. It is our choice as members, supporters and sectional interests of the general public. The diction is too good to miss, as well. Men of Harlech stand together .... imagine.

    I will contain my outrage until I hear it. According to someone who heard the ‘Toiges’ re-done song, it’s still the Fable Singers and just appears to be refreshed, possibly to make it sound better over the loud speakers. 

  • Quote

    You guys need to relax lol

    Just heard the Old v New version of the Richmond song on Triple M, there was literally no difference, maybe slightly higher clarity for the digital age

    Ya'll need to take a chill pill

  • Quote

    I'm guessing it will be along these lines.

    They may even encourage fans to boot scoot at games.

    Who remembers the B side : "The Footy Song"  ?

    It's pretty sad, but I remember it word for word.

    To be fair most fans would have no objections to the AFL changing either the Dockers or Port’s song unilaterally

    They do need to be re done....

    The arrangements of the theme songs are so dated.

    ... but I wouldn't trust the AFL to be involved, they have no idea of what constitutes music good or bad.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.
