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.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

    The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
