Picture this.

Your side has just played out of their skin to cause an almighty upset, with a goal after the siren, sealing the deal.

You hug your mates, let out a raucous cheer, spill a bit of beer and prepare to unleash the most tone-deaf rendition of your club's song, as your players mob their match-winner.

As the opening notes ring out around your home ground, are you happy with the tune you're about to sing? Is it catchy, free of cringe and classic?

Some clubs boast anthems that hit the mark. Others don't. Here's my ranking, from ear sore to elite.

Almost in diametric opposition to the Dogs, the Hawks' song starts in a lacklustre fashion but is redeemed by one line, that really gets the juices going:

"One for all and all for one's the way we play at Hawthorn."

Lines like "we're a happy team at Hawthorn," and "we love our club," fail to do so. A story of two halves.
