Even been on NZ TV on popular "The crowd goes wild"...only on so the Kiwis can take the pi$$ out of AFL but seeing that we took the pi$$ out of ourselves by making it in the first place who cares?

Call me a party pooper and all, but I must be honest and say I found that all pretty hard to stomach. Not into R&B Boyz II Men-style acapella. I really hope this doesn't get played at matches next year.

Please, St Kilda FC, can we keep our dignity and just stick with our old song?

surely you're taking the piss??? This whole thing was a JOKE. It was done tongue in cheek, there would be absolutely no intention of this ever being played before or after a game,

The Essendon video should have had a tongue-in-cheek reference to supplements whist the mascot was in the gym training. That would have been funny!

a little postscript of the competition was in todays Herald Sun
( Tues 2/7/14)

http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/sport/the ... d61d95c4e4

Recently AFL clubs have been made aware that Sydney’s father, Sam Arnold, had sent similar emails, claiming long-term allegiance, to at least 10 clubs as well as NBL and A-League teams who were visiting Adelaide.

The little boy has been the match day mascot for GWS, Geelong and the Melbourne Heart this season.

In the emotive letter Mr Arnold explains that he is a single dad who has spent the last six years of his life battling non-Hodgkins lymphoma blood cancer.

As part of the Melbourne video, he reads out the letter which he sent to the club: “My name is Sam Arnold, I’m a 43-year-old lifetime supporter of the Melbourne Demons footy club.

“Due to my health, I’ve been unable to work for some time, so I cannot afford even to buy a present for my son. I was wondering if the Melbourne footy club may be able to donate a kid’s supporter pack for my son’s sixth birthday.

“It would really mean a lot to both myself and my son during my recovery.”

When Geelong was informed of the contact with other clubs, a few things started make sense, including a conversation Sydney had with one of the Cats staff as he ran off the ground.

Asked if he wanted to have a quick kick, he replied: “I don’t really like footy.”

Attempts to contact Sam Arnold were unsuccessful last night.

Hah! A fraud. I'm sure Essendope will give him a membership with that sort of attitude.

[FQF]

Is the disease also fraudulent?

[saintbrat]

I'm guessing not many will get near Sydney to ask about his mum either..

Should have smelled a rat there. Anyone who has supported Melbourne for 43 years would not refer to them as the Melbourne Demons.
