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

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 .

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?!

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.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
