It's certainly captured how the Giants have approached the first three finals, and above all, it's one of the only club songs that you could describe as a 'banger'. He turned to Winston Churchill's famous quote – 'never surrender'.Īngus gives all the credit to Churchill, but he loves how it's become the slogan for the Giants and likes to think the final stanza of the song has entered the team's psyche in terms of how they approach the game. Angus went away with that idea and thought about how best to capture something the players could really emphatically shout in the rooms after the game. Sheedy said the song needed a 'yellow and black' moment to really rival Richmond for the best song. Most of the final studio recording was the same as the initial demo, but there was one request Angus remembers. I didn't hear from them for ages.'Īngus then got the call to come up to Western Sydney to speak to players and coaches (including Sheedy and Mark Williams) about the song and got some of their advice. 'I went home, knocked up a little demo and sent it in. They suggested to me 'oh you should send in a song because we don't have one yet for the Giants',' Angus said.

'I got talking to a friend of a friend in a bar and they worked for the AFL. WHAT TIME DOES IT START? Everything you need to know about the Grand FinalĪngus tells the story of the tune's origin as we near the 'Grand Final of the best club songs'.

The Cat Empire's Harry Angus wrote the number, but he tells he wasn't commissioned by the club to create the theme song in 2012, he just asked Sheedy, as well as some coaches and players, about what they might like from an anthem, and then submitted it to the Giants. Most fans would agree with Sheeds, but as for the unofficial second-best song in the League? Well, the AFL legend actually had some input in creating it.
