'The AFL has decided...'

What a bunch of [censored]. Who the [censored] gave them the idea that we want ANYTHING about this game changed?

    Gillon is a [censored], who is too influenced by the Yanks and other sports.

    His super panel is just another example.

    I was just thinking the other day that what we really need to make our football experience complete is for the classic songs of Carlton, Richmond and Melbourne to sound more like the putrid GC17 and GWS equivalents.

    Just [censored] off already Dil.

    Please tell me this is a parody article highlighting how hopelessly out of touch the AFL hierarchy are and their addiction to fixing things that aren't broken and their constant desecration of footy traditions.

    It can not be real.

    I can't imagine that this is as it's been described.

    Mostly likely the songs have been touched up to sound clearer.

    It's a high as a kite grand flag

    It's the threads we love

    Of the team we homies with

    The team of the blood and the crips

    Every gunshot rings through 

    For the red and the blue

    As we rap this beat for you

    Should ya'all smoke weed and never get caught

    Keep yo eye on us or else.

    This better not be real. 

    “It’s a Grand old Flag” is the property of the MFC and it’s Members/Supporters

    It is steeped in traditions the AFL can only dream about

    Gill has got to go

    There is absolutely no way this could ever possibly turn out well for the AFL.  There is a flat zero chance the fans will listen to a re-recording of their songs and say: 'Sound great... change is good.'

    The old style of signing is part of the cultural fabric of the game; I dread to think what they may sound like now.

    I presume it's a new arrangement and recording of the old song. What interests me, though, is who owns the IP of the song? Does this mean the AFL rather than the clubs themselves owns the rights to each club's theme song? 

  • Quote

    Fear not. 

    At my parents house I have the 7” vinyl of the traditional version. 

    Does anyone have a turntable I can borrow?

  • Quote

    I anm really angry about this, if it is real. 

    The Fable Singers totally rock

    The AFL doesn’t. 

     

    No doubt Dr. who will think its marvellous for some strange reason....

    That was my immediate thought also.

    Have the AFL shared their 'updated' versions with the 16 clubs?

    It's sounds ludicrous.

    Bloody atrocious! A national anthem is our song - as it is! I want my grandkids to take their children to the  'G, to sit in the Sthn Stand and to listen to the victory song of the Dees being belted out as a representation of the historical recurrence of such an outcome. A new song, yeah, yeah, just won't do that, baby, baby. We should not allow Gill to dictate to us in this matter; should he go ahead, we should then be ready to substitute the historical song for the existing song on every occasion. It is our choice as members, supporters and sectional interests of the general public. The diction is too good to miss, as well. Men of Harlech stand together .... imagine.

    I will contain my outrage until I hear it. According to someone who heard the ‘Toiges’ re-done song, it’s still the Fable Singers and just appears to be refreshed, possibly to make it sound better over the loud speakers. 

  • Quote

    You guys need to relax lol

    Just heard the Old v New version of the Richmond song on Triple M, there was literally no difference, maybe slightly higher clarity for the digital age

    Ya'll need to take a chill pill

  • Quote

    I'm guessing it will be along these lines.

    They may even encourage fans to boot scoot at games.

    Who remembers the B side : "The Footy Song"  ?

    It's pretty sad, but I remember it word for word.

    To be fair most fans would have no objections to the AFL changing either the Dockers or Port’s song unilaterally

    They do need to be re done....

    The arrangements of the theme songs are so dated.

    ... but I wouldn't trust the AFL to be involved, they have no idea of what constitutes music good or bad.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
