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

And credit to you who stood true

Every heart beats true

For the red and the blue

Credit to me and to you'se

And credit to a man we know

A bloke that is known as Paul Roos

Extra verses welcome.

Time to celebrate in song.

Regards to all,

Rollo

 

No takers ??

Guess we are a different group in 2015...

Its not much, but try this for size ...

Oh the team were keen back in twenty-fifteen
When they went to Kardinia Park,
From the very first bell in that place of hell
They played with great spirit and spark
Every heart played true for the red and the blue
And they sang the song brave and true
And we sang for all the rest of time
Keep your eye on the red and the blue!
 
Oh I celebrated today believe me and we sang it hard and long (As a Invited guest in the Geelong Corporate boxes) so you can just guess how that

went down.

( Actually the Cat supporters where in shock I think )

All we got from Geelong supporters on the way to the ground was not "if" they would beat us but rather by how much they would beat us.

They where all so Cocky !!

After living in this area for so long and putting up with the shite we have over the past 10 years about how good Geelong is, this is the best present and the best game I have seen Melbourne Play in Geelong if not the best game they have played all year .

'We have only just got home after celebrating ".


I can tell you now it is a Grand Old Flag and I couldn't be happier even if I won Tattslotto (well maybe just a bit happier)


GO 'DEES' and I'm sure we all sung the song at least once today :)

Hey, I can now die knowing that the tradition of song can continue, mate.

Great effort, if I may say so. :wub:

How bout this one........

We are Geelong

The crappest team of all,

We are Geelong,

We cannot find the ball,

We play the game,

As it cant be played,

At home or far away,

Our undies flying high,

From dawn to dusk,

Cause Melbourne gave it to us

Right up the ar..........

We are Geelong

The mighty blue and white

We are Geelong

No Selwood and we're shite

Our coaches face

Explodes when there's a free

Fans IQ equals three

Our banners fly high

From dawn to dark

And we don't give a f....

I re-did our song earlier on another thread (incorporating 'Melbourne')

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.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

  • NON-MFC: Round 08

    Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
