i agree.
who cares anyway, its just a song to listen to while the players run out onto the ground.
It's emotive for me. I've been listening to the same song for as long as I've gone to the footy. It gets me riled up.
STRENGTH THROUGH LOYALTY.

Actually, we've had a couple of different ones over the years. There was one in the mid-late 80's and there was another alternate version which came after our relocation to Waverley. That one was really piss-poor. The line of "Oh how I want to be with St Kilda" was changed to "Oh how I want to be there in September"
But yeah, it would be preferable to just keep the traditional one going. Why fix it if it ain't broke?
Curb your enthusiasm - you’re a St.Kilda supporter!!
I'm in the "if it aint broke don't fix it" camp.......BUT I wouldn't mind seeing some more lyrics/another chorus added to the TUNE which is GREAT! (naturally ) As it is at the moment the song is over almost before its begun! I hasten to add that this is merely the opinion of an old fart who would like a bit more of our tune to jig to!!!
