Anyone else see the theme song DeeTV posted to YouTube a few days ago? I would be disappointed if this became our standard theme.

A banjo? Really?!

EDIT: For comparison - here is our standard version:

You're [censored] me right? We genuinely have the second best song running round in the AFL - only better one is Richmond.

There was another version put on the AFL themes album a few years ago and it was MUCH worse than this. This just seems like a slightly updated version of the old song with a stronger banjo added, don'

This sounds different, like the whole thing has been its pitch lifted, but I am pretty sure there was always banjos in the theme song....

You could be right, but they sound much more pronounced in this version.

Well this is the best quality one I could found that sounds like the current one on YouTube - to me, it sounds more like they've digitally cleaned it up a fair bit. Because of it it makes the banjo more noticeable - you can still hear it though in this one.

I'm all for them remastering, but they seem to have toned down the brass (best part of traditional VFL theme songs) and increased the banjo usage and audibility throughout.

I'd like some thought into a new song .

Ours doesn't do it for me .

There's no " Riding the bumps with a grin" , " Fight and Fight and win " , " The greatest team all " , "the team that never let's you down" etc , etc .

What 'ave we got ' Should old aquaintance be forgot " Pffft .

The DeeTVOfficial one is better.

But they're so close, who cares? I'm not going to lose sleep over a bit of remastering.

I like em both. Lets just alternate them, one for home games, one for away games?

btw I'm tone deaf too

There's a banjo in the original as well, it's just more pronounced in the new version.

When I saw the thread title, I was imagining cheesy drum beats and synthesisers as other clubs have done. As it is, it still retains a strong traditional flavour, I can't even tell if the vocals have been re-recorded or just remastered.

It makes me wonder, it these songs can be produced so close to the original, why do so many of the new club's songs come out sounding like advertising jingles?

Yeah, let's change our colours, too. Lets be the team of the yellow, red, blue, black, white, navy, purple, maroon, gold and brown. Did I miss any?

Honestly, why not keep our modest, unique and time-worn song and just turn our attention to something a little more important?

Theres nothing wrong with our song, however there is something seriously wrong with having the trumpet version played before every home game. Makes more people cringe than those that enjoy it. If you want to make the club more appealing to potential new supporters then do a better job of striking a chord with them.

Is this thread a joke - the banjo is in both versions - just toned down. You'll find we are not the only club with the dreaded banjo.

I took an American friend to the footy many years ago - Melb v Richmond. It was well into the first quarter before he could pick himself up off the ground laughing at both songs.

The only teams that should have banjo in their club songs are Adelaide and Port Adelaide!

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
