PAFC CEO Matthew Richardson

Play this at the run-out. Start just from just before the title of the song.

The Quiet Riot version is a bit tighter and starts from where you mean, i'd probably just use that instead. It's a classic.

Unless there are significant licensing issues preventing it, i'd just rotate the run out song, maybe as much as every home game.

I'd also be content to see a re-recording of the club song, or even, just replacing it with something better (as part of the rebranding away from Power).

The Giants with their bizarre eastern Europe sound were the first team to properly break through the standard showtunes that every club has. Freo sort of hint at a sea shanty with the "heave ho" but then stopped short of doing it properly.

Our song isn't bad but it's yet another part of our branding where we just did what was most safe and "appropriate" in 1996 without putting a heap of thought into it. Even getting the same singers to record it. Safe, generic with the idea that it'll have broad appeal but instead it's just sort of boring. That's the Port Power brand for you. Now we even play football with the same philosophy.

What we should have done (as with all of our branding) is leaned into the maritime theme and gone with a modern take on a sea shanty, like the sort of singalong celtic punk that you'd hear from the Pogues, Flogging Molly or the Dropkick Murphys.

Yeah so anyway we should rebrand to the Pirates.

NTUA was good but it's got a bit cringy with the swaying of the scarves its gone christmas carol mode lol and the actual meaning of the song to where our club and supporters are at lol we are torn no doubt about it

Yes, the problem is the swayers, not the song. However that is in part driven by Koch and co's (let's be everyone's second team!). Not Giving in should go. It's stale and the exact opposite of the team, but NTUA should be under a new regime be promoted as trying to put the opposition off (new CEO to tell fans to stop swaying like drunken boomers), not a sing a long with the supporters of other sides. They should not be made welcome to join in.

This is a feature not a bug. The theme gives you a lot of room to move.

We already had the Power Pirateers for kids a few years back:

I would take Captain Feathersword as head coach no problem.

Nobody can beat Noddy's vocals.

Same as The Angels - Gleeson was "sort of OK", but Doc was way better.

Birdseye fishfingers, we can sing along to this jingle.

Not as cringe worthy as some of the renditions of the PAFC Club song as sung by the players after a game. Someone, maybe Matthew Richardson, needs to tell the players to show some respect and sing the bloody song not shout it at five words a second. The AFLW girls are experts at butchering our Club Song.

Priority #1 for next season is to get this fixed, we used to be a real football club

Legit gives me the heebiejeebies when people sway and use their scarves as a dance prop.

NTUA would be good if they gave a shit about winning a flag
