in Melbourne Demons

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: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
