After each week this season

Queen - Another One Bites The Dust seems fairly apt

Not sure about the Saints of 09, but for life in general as a Saints supporter...

Pleasure and Pain - Ben Harper

So if the sun does shine or rain does fall
I give thanks I've had my sight to see through it all
oh and I have felt pleasure and I have felt pain
and I know now, I can never be the same

:wink:

HOLY GRAIL!!!!! - Hunters and Collectors.

In 1997 they sang it at the grand Final and Mark Seymour changed the words

The line is

"Those big black birds they were circling the sky"

He changed it to

"Those big black Crows they were circling the sky"

Hasn't had the same apeal since.

Was that not the '98 GF when the Crows played North? I cant recall Seymour singing in 97 but I may be wrong..he deffo did in 98

Now...slightly off topic ..but..I just cannot believe that Leaps and Bounds hasnt ever been sung on GF day. Its the absolute quintessential song about going to the footy at the G. Combines probably my 2 favourite Aussie cons, Footy and Paul Kelly :-)

Heres the original clip if youve never seen it. If I'm ever voted PM of Australia this song will be the National Anthem and the lyrics on the citizenship exam by 9.05am on the Monday morning :-)



Oh just one bit of footy trivia about the clip..the guitarist is the late Steve Connolly, brother of Age journo Rohan

I heard this song on the radio the other day and immediately thought of the Saints.

You may be right, I have just always had it in my mind it was 97?

Ahhh Leaps and Bounds.

So many times driving back from Waverley my kids wanted to kill me when I always had to sing it at "that certain point" and sing whatever degrees the "clock on the silo" was actually showing.

Life goes so quick, doesn't it! :cry:

Let's enjoy this ride.

Go Saints!

Paul Kelly performed Leaps and Bounds live at the closing ceremony of the Commonwealth games. It went off

What about the obvious song:

Oh when the saints go marchin in
Oh when the saints go marchin in
Oh how I want to be with St Kilda
Oh when the Saints go marchin in

Oh when the saints
Milney-oh when the saints
Go marchin in
Milney-go marching in
Oh when the Saints go marchin in
Oh how I want to be with St Kilda
We just won the premiership.
