Watched the AFLW replay of the Dees and Dogs game and only just realized they've re-recorded their theme song with a female singer and have slightly modified the lyrics.

To put it nicely, it's atrocious. Absolutely shocking. Very cheesy and cringeworthy.

Love how teams have modified jumpers etc but messing with the theme song seems sacrilegious and if they are going to do it then at least try to make it work.

Very glad we have not meddled with our great song, but even if we did it would still be better than this mess.

All 'modernised' footy songs sound weird to me, even just the newer club's ones. The change of wording was necessary but they didn't have to change the style. Lucky us that there wasn't anything that needed changing about our song- the best song there is!

It's kind of surprising that more of the teams don't have 'boys' etc. in their songs... Essendon, Sydney and North are the only others?

Maybe in the same vein where the male teams seem to have multiple guys they could have got a large group of women to do the rendition. Does sound a little weird, I'm basically everything is the same between the mens and womens team. One club, one song.

Granted, their song is gender specific (ie, "SONS of the west"), perhaps that's why they felt compelled to change the lyric.

Either way, its a terrible song.

Ours is clearly the best song in the AFL.

So, let me get this straight, you have an issue with them changing any gender specific wording to match the sex of the players singing it, and that they have re-recorded it with a female singing it.

Not only that, but it's not about our club.

If this is one of the biggest issues in your life for you to worry about, then I'm quite jealous.

Not much of an improvement over the Bulldogs current song. Which they'd go back to "Sons of the 'Scray".

I actually really like Mike Brady's rendition. Speed it up to 1.25 speed and it could easily be their game-day song.

Fine with changing the lyrics, but why go with one solitary female singer? It's weird. Would sound way better with several female singers.

Just out of curiosity, which AFL teams have more than 1 singer?

Didn't think you wanted to talk about things that weren't about our club??

I think ours sounds like there's more than one singer, though I could be mistaken.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
