Its the grand old flag, with Melbourne in it.

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.

I'm batting at 88.

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.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
