When I think about decades of following the Demons I often have melancholy feeelings around other teams competing in the finals and us being perennial also-rans. Some years though had sympathetic highs, with accompanying sound tracks. What were yours, for better or worse?

Off the top of the bat I can remember listening to the late 60's post-season night finals with Melbourne 'starring' in night finals and The Easybeats playing "Sorry" over the car radio. On a less happy note I can recall endless renditions of Hey Jude in our dud 1968 season. Hey Jude thereby always carries a certain sadness removed from its intended sad message.

By demons be driven Pantera. Great song and even better band.

What Goes Up-Blood Sweat and tears....

Posted (edited)

'It's a Long Way to the Top' (AC/DC) seems to have a ring of truth about it, and 'Crying' by the late and great Roy Orbison used to be relevant, but I've long since given up crying after a loss. When I'm at a game, I often feel like telling feral oppsition supporters to 'Shaddap You Face' (Joe Dolce).

'You Werent In love With Me'

Its the song where "Blind Freddie' started seeing all the problems and advances within the MFC.

Its the song in which people on here state they have a close relationship with Freddie.

Coz Blind Freddie talks to some posters on here and he sees things others cant, and its blindly obvious that everyone should see.

I love Blind Freddie. He is such a source og information

i remember watching the come from behind win against freo in 2008 whilst listening to the album Watershed by Opeth. Early on we were getting pumped, so i turned off the commentary and put on Watershed. No single song from the album reminds me of the game, but vividly remember watching us come back from the dead whilst listening to the album!

If we're talking about song titles that reflect my various feelings being a demons fan in recent years;

Lost to Apathy - Dark Tranquility

Angry Again - Megadeth

Blind Faith - Dream Theater

and if i had to pick a Pantera song title i'd go for Shattered, they way i feel after every game these days!

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
