Maybe he wanted to inspire the Warriors?

Don't think it worked!

There is a photo in the gallery for Rd 11 West Adelaide v Eastern showing the man himself singing the anthem

Unfortunately....it is true!

I wonder how many Olympic gold medals you can claim for singing the national anthem?

This all came about at a West Adelaide home game when the tape for the national anthem failed. He just simply started singing! It kind of saved the day (I suppose) but he took the crowds reaction as loving it, and decided to continue. Seems like he is carrying it on to Warriors territory too!

Perhaps we should ask Panther more about this, seen as he got stuck with Sinatra himself after the game, and ended up giving him a ride into town??

An easy way to avoid this happening again is to use a simple system to pick a player to sing it. This simple system is the player from the home team who had the best HSA in the previous game gets to sing the anthem, eg:

"AND NOW, TO SING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM, AND WITH A LEAGUE-LEADING HSA OF 82.5 IN HIS LAST GAME BASED ON A HAUL OF 51 POINTS INCLUDING 17/28 SHOOTING FROM THE FLOOR PLUS EIGHT BOARDS AND SEVEN STEALS, IT'S...DAAAAAMIAN SCANNNNLONNNN".

You would have players queueing up for that honour. :)

Keep your eyes open for the new John Lawrence CD including such great hits as;

"It's not easy being green"
"Please don't let me be mis-understood"
"Like a virgin"
"All my friends are Sydney Comets"
and the classic "Advance Australia Fair"

Available at all good music stores and some crappy ones too!

Bo, that would explain Oscar's last statline then!

Woolacott Medallists get lifetime immunity - otherwise guys like Oscar, Dix, and Holmes would be singing it each week.

Perhaps the referees for each game could stand arm-in-arm at centre court and duet the national anthem. Can't you just imagine the crowd and players getting behind them and being very encouraging of, say, a pairing of Beamesy and Welbourne?
