Hells Bells followed by the alternative, metal version of the club song.

It's a Grand Old Flag in Hell.

    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

    I'd rather us run out with a Slayer song playing, no one would be able to top that.

    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

    couldn't we just get something nice and typically melbourne that nobody would dare to pinch......like 'something good' from the 'sound of music'

    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?

    We're the demons - Hells Bells is very aporopriate. Why don't Geeling go and get something from Andew Lloyd Webber, the Saints something from the Saints and the Hawks from who [censored] cares

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
