I really hope trade week can start in earnest so we can forget talking about such garbage! Leave the song alone!

You have a short memory about talking garbage demoneyes. Your granny effort last year still has you on ignore with 70% of Landers.

So he still has room to improve.

IF the song changes. It needs to happen organically.

Not because the club thinks it's a good marketing move. Our that they don't like the old one.

I'd the adopters tally want change, they'll push for change. But any change coming from the top will feel horribly commercial.

The "it's Melbourne's grand old flag" suggestions are terrible. It doesn't fit right and will feel forced every time.

What about this version, problem solved!

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
Ev’ry heart beats true
For the Red and the Blue
And we sing this song to you (What do we sing!)
Should old acquaintance be forgot
Keep your eye on the Red and the Blue

....... Owww wait it sounds a little too familiar.

Leave it alone you muppets.

Toady, do you sing GOF whilst having a dump on one of your 6 toilets?

"And we sing this song to poo..."

Wouldn't be surprised.

What are you talking about Moonie I only have 5 toilets

so it should be written spontaneously, with weed in the room.

No.

You have inserted two syllables where there used to be one.

Folks, just because you jam it in, doesn't mean it works.

Bump... worth revisiting in conjunction with today's thread re the club song.

Well spotted Hardie, I don't remember seeing this thread. You're right they should be merged. Not sure why this one was locked. Also have no idea what TSFKA's problem is. Must be off the meds.

pal, i never once said it was you.

And I never once suggested you did... it was a comment on why the thread starting post was rubbish; tonatopia is possibly the only poster to have given enyaw a run for their money.

One of the best songs in the league.

LITF alone.

the bit about the flag sucks

& there is nothing about playing & looking out for one another, or how we have one anothers backs, you know the old ozzie way of backing one another...

the words are just words of nothing. the tune is great.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
