Long time reader first time poster and apologise for the trivial nature. Watching the new 'Pledge to Win' video on the MFC website tonight I heard way more banjo then I've ever notice in our theme song. 

Does this mean we have a re-recorded version, maybe including the word Melbourne as has been mentioned in years gone by.

    No. This version I believe is used for promotional purposes, to spruce it up a bit. It's been around for a few years now.

    That was posted in 2011 on Melbourne's YouTube channel. It's the same song just with a crisper instrumental and new vocalists. I doubt they'd ever place the game-day theme, though.

    Could be crm, but to me it just sounds like a synthesised reworking of the theme introduction for a few bars for the purposes of the ad. I was hoping it would have a bit of Metalica thrown in there somewhere :)

    I found this on Bigfooty

    "Ron Tudor (Fable Records) had the bright idea in the early 70s that his company should get a brassy-jazzy musical backing group into a studio together with a group of male voices, headed by Barry Crocker, to record all and each of the 12 club songs. I think you could buy a 45rpm single in a suitably-coloured sleeve for about a buck and as well the lot were released on LP. Fitzroy's and Sth Melbourne's originals have had to be modified and this list has been augmented and modified; the initial recordings are musically-evident. Fable Records folded in 1984 so I guess the rights were bought by someone with some foresight".

    These are brilliant versions and shouldn't be messed with. Great singing and arrangements. Ours has banjo.... Awesome! Maybe it was Smacka Fitzgibbon? (I don't know). And Barry Crocker! (I didn't know this)

    Some info on "The Fable Label", which, in the early seventies, had some iconic Australian artists and hits.

    The re-worked version of our theme song makes me cringe. If someone from the club is reading please leave the original alone.

    I'd like to hear Hells Bells Pre Home games,  before the players come out to run thru the banner...   then the theme song after they break thru the banner,  & as they do their run-thru's.

    have they started doing this?  I heard they did something once?

    I just want to hear them play the words of the second verse (on 26 occasions ) this year!  It matters very little whether we have banjos or violins as any semblance of a tune is accidental once we start singing!

    good I'm glad... but the timing is everything.   add curtain raisers & away we go.

     

     

    # I didn't get to any games last season as I'm 2.5hrs drive from the 'G',  & 1 hr from the train.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

    • 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.
