Go Saints!!!

[Nick_BlueNRG]

Hit 'em nice and hard
Make them drop their guard
'cos we're loyal to our Saints
'cos we're the Saints

[Joffa Burns]

Hit 'em nice and hard
Make them drop their guard
'cos we're loyal to our Saints
'cos we're the Saints

That's terrible, worse than the Achy Blakey heart and it's raining Kent songs sung by that supporters group.

Don't give up your day job!

Pathetic, actually.

Are you drunk?

I think if you re listen its " 'cos we're loyal to our mates..."

Doug Parkinson's and St Kilda's lowest shared moment - absolutely cringeworthy rallying anthem

Gimme "Seaside" anytime

"down at the Junction there's a football ground
and that's where the Saints all hang around"

It’s an old version of when the Saints go marching in they used to play at Moorabbin ffs

It is still pathetic.......and very cringe worthy.

It was commissioned by the then new President (and his board) around 1976 (IIRC)
There was a video produced at the same time which featured Paul Morwood a lot.
They were trying to emulate what Footscray had done in the Western Suburbs and wanted to become the 'Southern Saints
I went to a pre-season presentation where the video/song were played.
It was when we recruited Brad Gotch.

" Lots of "true" Saints can't recall a song we sang at full tilt every week half pissed and ankle deep in mud, whilst getting belted mercilessly by everyone week after week, season after season." Quote from my father in law when I mentioned this song to him.

He said it was late 70's early 80's

He also told me to f@ck off to future and let him know if we actually win a season....cheeky ol bastard.

[CQ SAINT]

I believe it was 1986 and coincided with 21 years at Moorabbin.

The Southern Saints idea was mainly in anticipation of regions of Victoria which traditionally had no ties to VFL clubs, being threatened by the expansion interstate. It was anticipated that the Western Australian and South Australian teams would be strong and and the success and popularity of interstate teams would attract Victorian supporters. Hawthorn considered the Eastern Hawks, Essendon the Western Bombers and I think.the Northern Roos was considered by Norf.

My favourite part is when he rhymed ‘saints’ with ‘saints’

Ted is NG ? I knew there was something weird going on....

[CQ SAINT]

Let's face it, pissed after a win at Moorabbin, you'd sing just about anything but I do remember the fight back verses being sung pretty loud at the time.

I reckon Secret Kiel has a bit of Ted whiff about him/her.

[Devilhead]

So what I gathered from this is that

- Joffa isn't old enough to know the song
- A few posters will bag anything that Nick posts
- Saint-Lee's Father in Law is missing a decade
- You can find a lot of s*** on Youtube if you look hard enough
- Nick is likely a previous poster but there is no absolute consensus as to who .... though I have my suspicions

Don't mind the song itself as it brings back memories of those brilliant/awful crazy days down at Moorabbin during the 80s.

Doubt it!

And I think Winged Kiel maybe Ted reincarnated but more likely Cairnsman, but just a guess!

OMG - There are 2 versions. The one I have is different. I can't find the CD mind you but it's somewhere. Same words but different singer and the music is not as jazzy.
