WINS have been few and far between in Jonathan O'Rourke's short AFL career, but if he can hold his spot at Hawthorn for any length of time that should change rapidly.
The 21-year-old only sung the song once in his nine-game stint at Greater Western Sydney, where the average losing margin in matches he played was 44 points.
Five talking points: Carlton v Hawthorn
But on Friday night he belted out the lyrics to Hawthorn's tune for the first time after the Hawks' record 138-point belting of Carlton.
"Previous to this I've played in one win in the AFL, so to come out and have a convincing win makes it really enjoyable," O'Rourke told AFL.com.au.
"While we're out there we just try to play our best footy. If we can keep doing that and go out there and not stop, put the foot down, it's good to watch and good to be a part of."
Friday night was only the developing midfielder's second senior match since his off-season trade, having made his Hawthorn debut in the thrilling round two loss to Essendon at the MCG.
Clarkson sees the bigger picture
The former No.2 draft pick was dropped the following week, and has since had to bide his time at Box Hill learning the "Hawthorn way".
"There's a number of blokes pushing for spots and it's pretty competitive. I'm just happy to get back out there and be part of it," he said.
"I knew it wasn't going to be an easy team to break into – a side that's just won two premierships.
"But to get down here, it's more just the development of my football and (learning from) blokes like Jordan Lewis, Sam Mitchell and Luke Hodge, I think it will put me in good stead for the future."
Getting through a full pre-season for the first time has also helped build his confidence, with O'Rourke putting a fractured jaw, shoulder and hamstring issues behind him this summer.
He started his time at Hawthorn playing mostly on a wing, but has more recently moved into the coalface in the midfield while swapping off half-forward.
Playing that role, he gathered 18 touches – seven contested – took five marks and booted his first League goal during the third quarter of Hawthorn's onslaught against Carlton – with his teammates rushing from everywhere to celebrate.
While he's still feeling his way at a new club, the Calder Cannons product said he was loving being back home in Melbourne and, while the prospect of success this year – at Hawthorn or top-of-the-ladder Box Hill - is tantalising, he's not looking too far ahead.
"I'm just pretty much learning the Hawthorn way, the structure and adapting to their style of play," O'Rourke said.
"I've been focusing on that down at VFL level and trying to get my hands on the footy and keeping my body fit and healthy.
"I got through a full pre-season for the first time. So that was good, it puts you in good stead.
"Touch wood I can get through the whole season and build on it."
