Football theme songs after away games

March 29, 2008 ·  

I’ve just listened to Hawthorn defeat Fremantle in the AFL on ABC Radio. The Hawks theme song blared out across the ground and on national radio after the game.

That’s been the case for a few years, that the winning team has its song played regardless of the venue.

For the record, winning away teams didn’t always have their songs played after the game.

I can recall watching Fitzroy lose and feeling the funereal atmosphere afterwards at a home game. Conversely, I wanted to hear the song ring out sometimes and it didn’t.

I think I like the old style. Why should the opposition hear their song after winning a game on opposition territory?

    Oh I think its fair enough for the opposition team to get their song played especially if they deserve it by winning away at grounds like Subi, Skilled and Aami
