Mike Brady has volunteered his services to write us a new song.

Now before anyone jumps up and down, that it is going to replace A grand Old Flag, NOT so.

Neil Mitchell on 3AW is taking suggestions. ,then Brady will pen the song.

I am not a huge Mitchell fan, but its something positive and if it helps our footy club, (one hopes) good for him.

It is a work in progress atm, so be interesting to hear what he comes up with.

    I have a lot of respect for Mike Brady. 'Up there Cazaly' and 'One day in September' are great historical footy songs. Who else better to write a song to help boost up the whole club through troubled times.

    They will still run out to 'It's a Grand Old Flag', but who's to say it won't be a song they can pump themselves up with before they run out.

    Totally agree alias. With Mike Brady penning the words / tune, I'll wager that 97.25% of us will love it!

    As 'C'mon Demons' became a bit of a theme during the Northey era, let the new song become a booming crescendo for the era which is about to dawn!

    Heard Mike Brady sing the song this morning. Thought It was really good. Should be podcast on 3AW later today or tomorrow?

    Mike Brady is a musician and not running the club. He can buy an expensive desk and sit at it designing blazers, logos and whiteboard wednesdays all day long as fair as I care.

    So...what's the harm in this again? Provided that the song isn't woeful and doesn't get played every time we kick a goal, ala Gold Coast.

    Chances are it will get played for a few weeks and then get shelved, rarely to be heard again. But it's at a unique point in the club's history. I like the idea, personally.

    For mine, he's a writer of cheesy jingles. However, it's a matter of personal taste and no doubt he's a talented guy.

    If it works for the majority of people it can't be a bad thing.

    It's a grand old flag, it's a high-flying flag

    It's the emblem for me and for you

    It's the emblem of the team we love

    The team of the red and the blue

    Every heart beats true, for the red and the blue

    As we sing this song to you

    (what do we sing)

    Should old acquaintance be forgot

    Keep your eye on the red and the blue

    Oh, the team played fine in the year Thirty-Nine,

    We're the Demons that no one can lick, lick, lick

    And you'll find us there at the final bell

    With the spirit of Twenty-Six, Six, Six

    Every heart beats true, for the red and the blue

    As we sing this song to you

    (what do we sing)

    Should old acquaintance be forgot

    Keep your eye on the red and the blue

    I have heard the song in its raw format. I will reserve judgement until it is properly produced in a studio.

    I'll say 'Its a grand old flag' is well and truly safe,and so it should be.

    But lets not can the idea yet, it will have its day in the sun for awhile, then more than likely die off in time.

    Looking on the bright side, perhaps it can he played at start of club functions to raise some much needed funds. Then ending with our real club song.

    But its a refreshing change from reading all the dribble and negatives that have been written about our club over the last 12 months or more.

    If it's a good song....One that get the toes tapping and the hearts swelling.....You could play it over the summer months to encourage memberships and get the Melbourne Footy Club in the media during the off season....

    Just a thought....

    "Lucky, youre @ AAMI !! "

    there might be

    "Up there Howey, up there and fly
    Climb on a shoulder and showem your height
    Up there Howey, take a hanger ag'in
    Fight like a Demon, you're out there to win "

    or the lesser know

    "Rapt for Roos !! "

    Aside from that Mike's also an advertising guru that a senior retired AAMI executive credited as creating the campaign platform that turned them into the huge business they are today.

    Apart from that Mike's done NOTHING...NOTHING!!

    Reeks of Mike Brady desperately clawing for some relevance in the AFL today.

    I couldn't care less.

    Please let this die quickly before I have to hear it.

    Our song is the only thing going for us atm, by far the best song in the league.

    Have you heard Richmond's?

    Mike Brady wrote one of my favourite songs, The Courage In Their Eyes.

    It was written for the 2000 Olympics and now is played before the big races at Caulfield for the MRC.

    One of few songs that can get me emotional.

    (I can't get no) Satisfaction, was written for us.

    Recorded in 1965...say no more.

    Certainly been plenty of useless information on the radio, however, "I try and I try and I try and I try" hasn't always been true.

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
