Twas the night of the Granny and all through the state
Not a slimer was stirring, it was all 'sod off, mate'
The wagers were all lodged with Sportsbet with care
A granny appearance, for slimers thats rare
They ran onto the field, not a Margetts in sight
But ducking and head throws would soon put that right
Go Pooncey, go Biter, go Manbun and Dread
While visions of free kicks soon filled their head
Go Poodle, go Ducker, go Sleeve Tat and Knob
Simmo and Donkeys were soon on the job
The ducked and dived, threw heads back with flair
And looked on in horror as the free kicks weren't there
The game was shocker, it was bad for the slime
and hordes of supporters went home at half time
The AwFL was happy, the Vics got the cup
For the rest of Australia, things started to look up
As they started their journeys toward home filled with beer
The slimers all knew, it would be Freo next year
