Melbourne theme song

Featured Replies

Posted

Hi all. 

Was wondering if anyone can help me.

My pop sadly passed away Sunday morning and he was a big Melbourne supporter and we would like to play the Melbourne theme song but in a slow version. Does anyone on here know if there is a slow version going around?

Thank you 

 

 

Hi Armstrong35. Condolences to you for the loss of your Pop.

I am not aware of a slow version of A Grand Old Flag, other posters may be. At my father's funeral last year, we played a slow song at the end that reflected our Scottish roots. As thia aong faded, A Grand Old Flag trumpeted through. We had the wake next to the chapel immediately after this. It seemed to work well, honouring Dad's demon love and finishing on a high note.

There was a version at the start of the 1998 "Hotter than hell" season video which would be a good one but who & where it came from I have no idea. 

 

I don't know if an officially recorded version of this exists, but David Bridie's effort might fit the bill:

Brilliant HT. What a beautiful version. He's a gem isn't he.

Sorry for your loss mate, just heard this and got goosebumps. Hopefully suits. Great call Hardtack

 

Yeah there is also a version at the start of "the Red & the Blue" demons history DVD but no idea where you could get it. There might be something in the credits though.

I watched Demons Magic Moments DVD last night and there was a slow version, sung by a woman in the opening sequence. Sorry can't be more specific mate, but check out YouTube. Has to be around somewhere

Try this CD. I had it years ago & from memory the slow version I mentioned above was on there. I'm sure someone on this forum would have the CD & be able to tell you if it's on there. 

I have this CD somewhere at home, will try and hunt it out. Definately has an appropriate slow version of our song

Maybe you could also play this if your Dad had a good sense of Humour

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
