I just heard on the radio that bloody Holy Grail song

I used to love that song, but since our loss, it holds a different meaning to me.

The whole time the song was playing, I was reliving that day

Not sad anymore, just angry......and ready to go again.

I'm absolutely positive that the Hunters played that bloody song before the 97 GF as well, can anyone confirm this???

The first I heard it at GF was before the (im almost certain) 98 one..was just Mark Seymour and guitar on a podium..no band..worked well.

The only song that sticks in my mind from 97 was Greg Champion debuting his "Saints are on their way" song during the Coodabeens live show from the 3AW tent..which, although I agree his lyrics can be a bit hokey at times, contained this classic verse...

Up and then down..
Year out, year in..
But the army of fans..
they just keep hangin in'..

Theyve taken enough..
they're long overdue..
C'mon Saints..
Go get flag number two!!

*Cue massive roar at that last line*

Played it a few times leading up to GF week this year....that verse always sends a tingle up the spine..well it will til we win flag No 2!!!!!

I've noticed Muse songs inspire a similar feeling...and I've been listening to Muse heaps lately...

Yes they did.
I am just hoping that the next time we make a GF they are not playing. Bad omen.

Can't remember a thing about the pregame 97 GF. However, I did love the pregame this year and I do love Holy Grail. Though I am not in a hurry to hear it.

Nothing could be worse than "The Pride of South Australia" or "We are Geelong".

As long as our song is played at the end of the game, they can play H & C's till the cows come home or at least until the Saints go marching in.
