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

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
