In a bid to enhance the match day experience the AFL purchased the rights to use a few songs.

One song for each team would have been nice.

They have no FI when it comes to music because they are a bogan/ moron organisation.

Next week The Living End get to show us how crap we already know they are.FMD.

It annoys me but:

1. Were we the first?

2. Did we do anything about making it unique to us. Can't copywrite it but maybe lodge it with the AFL that it was our thing. Port sing the INXS song, no one could copy that as it would be a blatant rip off but the hells bells is different. 

Really would like to get it as just our thing or to move on to something else.

I can't answer the first question with conviction other than to say we started playing it last year and I hadn't noticed any other club using it until this year. OP is based on the assumption we were the first to use it.

Other clubs used it last year. I went to another clubs home game last year, and it was played then

Fair enough, but are there instances of clubs using it before us is the question. My assumption is that we were the first.

And mine was that it was a generic song the MCG played before games. The Dees/Hells Bells connection was a coincidence, I thought

It's been used in the finals for about 3 years, I'm pretty sure we copied it. That being said, it suits us well so we copied it better

We invented the game of football, pioneered the woman's comp... which they've all copied, I reckon we can cope with them taking on that song. Burden of leadership. ;)

The reason 'never tear us apart' works so well is that it is full of emotion and galvanises players and fans.  'A call to arms' so to speak, similar to Liverpool's 'you'll never walk alone'.

I like 'its a grand old flag' after we win games - nothing brings up the emotion more like hearing it after we beat the Hawks.  The song's emotional pull doesn't work so well before the game, imo.

I really like 'hells bells' and it sounds eerie.  But if everyone is going to use then it isn't a good choice for us.  I think a pregame song would work better for us if it spoke to people's hearts as do the two examples above.  Can't think of one right now...

...any ideas?

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    PREGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    The Demons head back to Melbourne after an embarrassing loss to the Dockers to take on the Magpies at the MCG on Kings Birthday. With a calf injury to Lachie Hunter and Jacob van Rooyen possibly returning from injury who comes in and who goes out?
