C'mon Demons


The Chazz

Recommended Posts

In the mid-80's, the MFC produced the following production;

I think it's time to re-produce this classic using current day players. Before I go any further, this suggestion was mentioned on the Youtube comments section (so I'm not going to pinch someone else's idea), but I think it's something that the Club could do as a great fundraiser. When it was released, I know they sold a number of copies, and would have made a crapload (from memory they charged about $20 or $30 for a video that lasted 3 1/2 minutes!

I for one enjoy watching players do stuff outside of their comfort zone, and would certainly buy a copy of this. I'm sure I'm not alone!

So, what does everyone think? I'm not really sure who we need to contact to get this rolling, so any help would be great!

Todd Viney (if you are meaning the guy with the tunnel ball doing sit-ups).

In that quick clip he looked a lot like Neitz, but yeah, looking at it again, it looks like Viney :D

I love that video! As you may have noticed from my signature below. I reckon it could work with the modern day players, but I am afraid any attempt to 'modernise' it would result in a cheap rip off. That clip has 80'S 'CHEESE' appeal all over it! But I like your idea! I love Rod Grinter in that clip to on the punching bag! And Darryn Hinch. Unfortunately Hinch gave up his support for the Dee's some years back, so not sure he would be good for a recall.

I wanna know who that little kid is that gives the "yeeeeeaaaaaahhh". Get him involved. Must be 25 by now haha.

Mal Waldon could replace Hinch.

Good OP.

I don't know if this is true, but my memory is that Chris Connolly might have written either the music or the lyrics. Either way, it is top shelf vintage stuff.

I think you are right. CC was definitely involved.

CC wrote the music. He and Jimmy play some of the music I believe, as you can see when they are out playing on the MCG. Jimmy is quite the pianist. I recall watching the Dublin Jim video and he does some handy work on the Elle McFeast show. Maybe he could do it again!!!

Does anybody have a better/cleaner version (mp3 or on CD) of the audio of this song?

Fantastic. Even featuring a newly-elected Senator on the clip.

i have the 12" maxi single, the b-side Demons Dance is great too.

I've always wondered if the person who wrote this also did Orange Organic's Pugwalls Theme song, heaps similar vibe.

Maybe just the midi times.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
