Out Of Left Field Idea for new SANFL marketing ploy

[topsywaldron]

".......Gonna kick back, crack the top off a Pale ale and watch the Double Blues prevail...."

Don't know how people expect us to capture the youth market with a group who obviously watched the majority of their football in the mid to late sixties.

Pretty sure Sturt get a mention in one of their songs. A cool nephew told me that anyway. Not that Sturt are cool or anything mind you...

Not certain of the name of the song, but the line goes something like this;

".......Gonna kick back, crack the top off a Pale ale and watch the Double Blues prevail...."

They sound relaxed ... No wonder as they're obviously at the Parade!

why not cross each footer club with a local band or somebody originally from adelaide
eg if the hilltop hoods support sturt they do the sturt song
the hot lies could do eg glenelg
wolf & cub could do norwood
barnesy could do centrals etc etc

this way you could cross musical styles and include multiple local bands.
the initial idea certainly has legs and should be investigated

more than happy to provide some background help as have knowledge of, and some contacts in the industry.

wolf & cub could do norwood

Shudder.

Another little known fact is that Rob Younger, lead singer for the mighty Radio Birdman, is a Sturt man due to the fact that his Grandfather played a stack of games for them. Add to that Tim Rogers from You am I and you wonder what Sturt did to get so lucky on the rock front.

Paul Kelly perhaps?

Exploding white mice could do Centrals.White with red all over.

[Aerie]

Just hand the job over to REB, I'm sure he could come up with something!

They weren't even born then, so its just wishful thinking on their behalf.

The Mice are split between being Eagles and Sturt, again, supporters.

could be organised by clanger (greg klenjeans) from the grace emily.
long haired tatooed ex-south adelaide player from the late 80's or early 90's.
he also plays in the shandy butchers - could get them to play and get premier mikey rann to sing 'go panthers' over the top.

There's the funding for the project! Keven Foley is a keen Port supporter, and he controls that states cash flow...

[Grahaml]

Just so long as the guys responsible for "the eagle is angry" have nothing to do with it.

[Ecky]

Didn't Julie Anthony used to be the number 1 ticket holder at Glenelg?

It's funny you should have the idea Wedgie, Gothic Blue Girl from doubleblue.org, about two months ago came up with the idea of getting The Hilltop Hoods to remix "It's a Grand Old Flag" to raise revenue and connect with the young'uns. There must be something in that for it to brought up again.
I am still yet to hear a tune by the Hilltop Hoods, and I have just learnt that they are an Adelaide band...are they any good?
I want to be sure we are passing the sacred verses over to competent people before they take the sissors out and re-arrange the thing.

Thanks for that Dutchy.
Yes, it sounds good. I think they are qualified to giver it a go!

It's the Blues dude, a lot of music has its roots in the Blues.

*sigh* do you really need us to bring up 2002 again?

".......Gonna kick back, crack the top off a Pale ale and watch the Double Blues prevail...."

That's a f****n brilliant line.
I think I have found a new signature.

the hot lies could do eg glenelg

I was just thinking wolf and cub could get in the mix
