Melbourne Football Club - New Theme Song pre-match

Featured Replies

I did have a chuckle when Carlton played Phil Collins "In the Air Tonight" before their theme song as they ran out yesterday. I guess it worked for them!

it's Ok dave they cannot afford another win this season, they'll bounce on the way backdown, once they're back on the deck next week, to the home team, up there. tis the way tis done, these days, dave.

Brilliant song, not the rubbish that our kids have grown up with.

Remarkable parallel about a once mighty force in decline, having a dead-cat bounce.

Port Adelaide sing "Tear us apart" before a match. The MFC could serenade this.

To those who are genuinely hurt by this, toughen up. To those who fail to see the relevance, enjoy a masterpiece. To the few who can link it, well done, as you are smart and brave. Where is H, or Trav20, or Hannabal btw?

This is the perfect post-match theme song for both players and supporters (language warning)

A quick look through my stash of depressing or angry songs, looking for nominations.

Bob Dylan, Not Dark Yet

Faith No More, Last Cup of Sorrow

Aimee Mann - Wise up

Actually, Last Cup of Sorrow through stadium speakers could be brutally satisfying.

Although the ambiguity about it being either 'make a new start' or 'kill yourself' could be a problem. Or, ideal.

Geez, it's growing on me.

Like your work Goffy. With apologies to the great man:

Shadows are falling, and we've been at the G all day

It's too cold to sleep and time is running away

Feel like our souls have turned into steel

We've all got the scars another loss won't help us heal

There's not even wins enough to just smile and stare

It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.

Well our sense of winning is going down the drain

Behind every useless draft pick, there's been so much pain

We wrote them an email and it wasn't kind

We put down in writing what was on our mind

Some just don't see why they should even care

It's not dark yet, but it's getting there

Well we've been to Etihad and been to the G

We've followed the flag some since we were three

We've been down to the bottom of a whirlpool of lies

We're just lookin' for some fear in their eyes

Sometimes our burden is more than we can bear

It's not dark yet but it's getting there

We were born Dees and will die Dees sometimes against our will

We say we are movin' but we're staying still

Every nerve in our body is naked and numb

Sometimes we wonder what it was we came here to get away from

Roosy what you hear is the murmurs of our prayer

It's not dark yet and we don't want it getting there.

I still think the Benny Hill music is appropriate for during the match.

Comment of the day IMO.

Probably the best pre-game mainstream song a club can come up with.

Sorry bugle-man.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
