A big, big year then. Some other notable events:

• The Sunset Crater Volcano in what is now Arizona, USA, erupted for the very first time. This volcano is still there today!

• The Seljuk Turks, a powerful group from Central Asia, began to invade Anatolia (which is modern-day Turkey). They captured important cities like Caesarea and Ani. This marked the start of their expansion into this region.

• On June 9 1064, the city of Coimbra in Portugal was captured by King Ferdinand I of Castile (a kingdom in what is now Spain).

• Harold II, who would later become King of England, was shipwrecked in Ponthieu, Normandy (in modern-day France). He was then taken captive by Count Guy.

• The building of the famous Duomo (cathedral) in Pisa, Tuscany, Italy, began in this year.

• Borivoj II of Bohemia, who became a Duke of Bohemia (a ruler in what is now the Czech Republic) was born

Yep, and after being three goals up at the final change in the Second Elimination final Essendon somehow managed to extend their finals drought by another year.

Wouldn't mind a signature walk off song after a home MCG win, and after they've played the theme song twice. At the moment they just play random songs as background noise.

For example, after a win Carlton play Oasis - "Don't look back in anger"

Are you sure they don't play Don't look back in anger after a loss?

Has to be an Australian song.

Every time Brisbane play the John Denver song I get the urge to vomit.

Showing your age or your bias there Rjay.

You sound like my dad when he complained about the Beatles back in the day.

Probably, and I thought about this before writing.

...but seriously they are very average.

She gets by trying to be outrageous and that's a very old song, I've heard it all before.

Heroes by David Bowie. I remember hearing it a few times in the 1990’s before our games and it was inspiring.

I remember after we won the flag in '21, the broadcasters were interviewing Jack Viney on the ground and 'Heroes' was playing in the background around the stadium. As one of the players who was there during those bleak times, he described his journey with the club to get to that point; and with Bowie's beautiful classic as a soundtrack THAT'S when I cracked up and wept like a baby!

*Edit - I wouldn't have it as pre-game pump up song though - too emotionally arresting.

This was on repeat for me in the lead up to our smashing of Jeelong in the '21 PF:

Moby “Extreme ways”

Oh baby, oh baby

then it fell apart

Oh baby oh baby

Like it always does!
