Its the grand old flag, with Melbourne in it.

[Bobby McKenzie 2,269]

Don't touch the song. I'm fine to change the jumper though.

Where's Rangey? I want a poll. Give it to Bartlett.

Agree with keeping the song as is but why would you want to change our beautiful jumper? It's the best in the league. I'm not biased of course.

[Its Time for Another 4,058]

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.

I have to admit I agree with this. Lets face it. The reference to a Grand Old Flag is irrelevant. It's been left in because it was in the original American Civil War song it comes from. It really should say something like this.

It’s a grand old Club

It’s a high flying Club

It’s the Club for me and for you

The Demons are, the team we love

The team of the Red and the Blue

Ev’ry heart beats true

For the Red and the Blue

As we watch them fight for Victory

No matter how long it takes

Keep cheering the Red and the Blue

It's not that big a deal, I've sung it for 54 yrs without thinking about it but I'm sure if you stop and think about it a few minor changes would make it a bit more relevant.

Some of you need to learn about syllables and meters and rhymes.

If you're referring to my feeble attempt try bending your superior intellect to get it to fit the Meter. You might surprise yourself.

our song makes you feel Melancholy & after a win adds to the existing euphoria.

but the song does not make you feel like getting down in the trenches with your mates, to take on Dr Evil & his blue parrots, or the pie throng, or the junkies to our Nth West

lets face it, the words doesn't carry the mean_ing that make the players go through brick walls to get at the opposition, like the hawks words do.

I think we have one of the worst song in the AFL, really...it does not get the blood boiling and the children running around hysterically in the aisles screaming for their favorite players while Dad belts out the song arm in arm with their fellow Demons supporters. Hawks, Tigers and North, have great songs that bring the beast out, ours has nothing to do with football! Still, it's our song and it stays.

I think you might have a different perception if we happened to be winning more than not and playing finals.

You are probably right, when we do win I belt it out, not so much before a game tho.

I will sing it until we get a better one.

But no one sings at the ground at the start they just clap their hands.

I's more like a lullaby

North have a great song? Really?

[Ethan Tremblay 28,846]

I like the fact our song tells us to forget the past, probably a good thing.

I love our song, it's classic. Nothing better than belting it out after a big (few and far between) win.

Cannot believe people do not like our song. Might as well be saying that Nate Jones is a [censored]. Seriously, best in the comp by a mile.

[Barney Rubble 1,576]

After tonight's statement by PJ that the Brand is changing with the emphasis on Melbourne.

If that means the logo it will also mean that all other aspects will change.

You can't change the brand in part.

RDB who will be launching the new Brand wasn't convinced at the idea in the first instance.

But once he saw what was envisaged he jumped at it.

It must have been good to convince him.

It has a nice tune, a fun tune.

but your right, it doesn't get the hackles, & the back of the neck bristling, like the hawks song.

... and I fear it has the same feeling for the players; as the hawks song gets their culture firing, fighting for one another.

Melbourne version:

It's a grand old city,

we can't play, what a pity,

it's the emblem that changes intermittently,

it's the emblem of, the team we tolerate,

the team of which others think differently.

Every heart beats occasionally,

depending on the occasion,

for we are Melbourne, the club, the persuasion.

Should old habits finally die hard,

keep your eye on 2016.

Don't know if your lousy spelling is intentional or not.

In fact, don't care if it is.
