I dont like it either. Really annoys me how certain things that have no reason to be changed get changed.

Don't get too annoyed stranga. You'll really love it by around 4:30pm next Saturday, I promise you!

    As long as we hear it played plenty of times this year then I don't have a problem with how it sounds

    I have the old "Fable" version on my itunes at home so i can always pump it in the lounge room!

    The re-mastered sped up version sounds to me like "the once fabulous Fable Singers" have been over dubbed and overly auto tuned or just digitised to the sheizenhouzen! Way too gay! Music is too fast versus the original, which has authority, depth and kicks the new versions ARSE!

    When i first heard this version on S.E.N. a few years back i thought it was them having a crack at us being seen on the field as soft or something. I even sent a complaint, but then realised the club was peddling this crap lol.

    Why do we continually change our heritage every other year anyway? Jumpers, Colours, Song, Logo. Just leave the bloody things alone! And i want me RED back!! We ain't and never will be the roy boys (yeh i know we had a similar maroon back around the turn of the last century but hec.....leave it for the heritage week would ya!). If we keep changing the basis of what defines us "every other year" no one will have any idea who we are soon, including ourselves!

    Bloody wet eared marketing graduates trying to make a name for themselves....GRRR!

    Ok...that's Rusty's Rant for this week.

    :mad:

    I want the David Bridie version:

    No Hard.....just NO!

    Well, I'm an unabashed fan of the Bridie version... but really, as was discussed in the U2 thread, I would love to hear a Pogues version as I think it's a song that would suit Shane MacGowan down to the ground (on which he is more often than not, prostrate).

    I'd like to see what Collingwood have done

    They have a CD/DVD with over a dozen different versions (not sure how many) of their theme song. One for every occasion

    i miss the old one. For me the old recording is my entire life. Every week, at the MCG 15 degrees, Family, Jam Donuts

    But what if the new one is the old one, but clearer?

    You were attached to a song, just not the song.

    The old red, white, and blue...

    Link broken.

    Basically, Grand Old Flag is a patriotic US song based around Gettysburg (Civil War).

    Maybe that's where the banjo is from...

    To be fair, about half the songs in the league are based on patriotic American songs about their culture or their history. Well, them and France.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
