The players have a song of choice when they kick a goal. For Charlie Cameron it’s Take Me Home… 

I think the ‘suits in ‘marketing’ call it fan engagement. Whilst I don’t relate to it, having watched the Dees a few times now at The Gabba, the young kids love it.

The choice of goal celebration songs pales into insignificance when you see on the big screen a clip of the goal-kicking player’s celebratory dance. Painfully cringe. 
Especially old mate Zorko who does a gangnam style move. 🤮

    I wonder what the Bris fans think about it.

    Can’t speak for all Brisbane fans but those at the ground go nuts for it. Especially Country Road and Sweet Caroline. They sing those songs louder than they do their own theme song.

    Hashtag don’t forget, there’s actually a footy match on. 🙄

    Maybe they like a 3 ring circus!

    Did the Lions come up with the blueprint for how to beat Collingwood? Or was it just a bloopie?

    In the second quarter they did what no one had done and that was regarding the Dacios boys it was not what they did with their first possession, but did not allow them free possession after that and that's the trick to it all.  When McCray said I would tag them he knew these boys could run all day so going after them by tagging is a waste of time it's how you set up to stop them getting to the next contest to create the lose man.

    The move he's doing is the floss (viral from tik tok like 5 years ago).  He looks so smug whilst doing it, really kills the footy experience 🤮

    I found watching a couple of the brisbane players singing along cringy myself.

    Yes that's the one Kent...

    I literally take ear plugs now and use them at half time because of her.

    Not sure what happened to Robbo.  Wish he would come back.

    Voice training needed urgently, breathing lessons - the works - or, as you say, Robbo makes a comeback.

    Demon3165 spot on. Nick especially is always given the chance to chase his kicks and get contest to contest. You need to limit his follow up ability because that's where the real damage happens.

    Speaking of theme songs I'm a little surprised that the French Government haven't made noises about the use of their national anthem as a footy club tune. The French are usually a little touchy over such things... Camembert anyone ??

    You’re right, DP. Zorko does the floss. I’m getting him mixed up with another player who does the riding a horse and circling a lasso above his head thing. Anyways, they’re all terrible, especially on the giant screen where it’s hard to avoid seeing them. And especially when we’re getting done. That’s the last thing you wanna see.

    I don't want to be reminded of any dance moves 😂  it's a good thing the Dee Army bay is sober, as otherwise in that Gabba game I think I would have had a shot for every time the Lions were dancing on the big screen!

    Would love to see Norff knock them off. Unlikely but worth a look. Some of those Blues look really soft almost sissy boy level. They dont impress me at all.

     Hit em hard Norff.

    I was going to write about Joe Daniher as well but couldn’t quite recall the song title. It’s totally about the youth engagement and good on him for sticking his hand up for the female under 10’s.

    Evidently according to my Brisbane friends, Joe chose "Let it go" from frozen because he sings it as Let it Joe.

    I find the songs and clips of the footballers doing a little dance to their song all a bit cringeworthy. But hey, I'm just not into crowd activation I guess. I'd rather have a conversation with the people I'm with rather than having to shout at them after a goal.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
