If an NRL team can do it then why can't an AFL club ??
Yes, it's an old subject but let's be realistic, at least half of the clubs in the AFL are in desperate need of a new or completely revamped club song.
The Giants came into the competition and unveiled a a terrific song so why do so many of the older clubs persist with their current uninspiring, limp & thoroughly boring club songs ??
Richmond & GWS are both big rousing singalongs that get the crowd into it.
Gold Coast tries hard but just doesn't get there.
Collingwood, Sydney, Hawthorn, Carlton, Footscray, Essendon, Geelong, Melbourne are borderline acceptable but could do with an increase in tempo & a reworking, they really lack the "punch" the first two have.
West Coast, Brisbane, Fremantle, Adelaide, St. Kilda, Port Adelaide & North Melbourne are simply horrible.
Assuming some of the clubs wanted to make a change, then what process do they go through to do it ??
Should they take an old song and rework/reword it (eg. "Madison Blues" for Carlton), take a recent song & reword it (eg. "Highway To Hell" for Melbourne) or throw caution to the wind and get some songwriters to come up with a brand new tune ??
