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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
