I can barely tell the difference, but that's not the point. My issue is why the AFL think they have some sort of ownership over our song. It would be like them tweaking our logo.

    Think you might find the AFL was asked by the clubs to tweak the songs - trying to improve the sound quality at SOME of the many grounds we will play AFL footy at in 2018. No big deal clubs can do what they want - stick with the old poor sound quality if they elect to or upgrade the sound quality for the fans.

    Only thing I think they should do is reintroduce our second chorus. “Oh the team played fine in the year 39.” Every merchandise I had always had it in printed lyrics, but they never played it. I haven’t heard it for years.

    Nice sentiment, but far too long ago to reminisce about the team playing fine.

    Absolutely not. If we want to get rid of everything American, then we’d get rid of fixed ladders and do promotion and relegation. Do away with grand finals and have the team that finished on top declared premiers. Not everything American is evil.

    Best of seven finals?

    Blaring "music" after every goal?

    Switch offence and defence line ups (or rosters) after each 10 second play time, for a 2 minute ad break?

    No thanks

    Again, would you rather European promotion and relegation? Seeing Dees play in a 2nd grade comp? The minor premiers declared the winners? No thanks

    I'm just relieved they didn't add our second verse like they did for Geelong and Port... they are pretty terrible...

    Disagree AW.  I was thinking as I was working my way through the thread that the only way they could improve the original version would be to add the second verse.  In the late 1950s and 60s, the players, and the supporters who crammed into the rooms after each victory (which was most weeks) would belt out both verses without missing a beat.  Maybe memorising two verses would be too much for today's society.

    is it that one?

    Yep, great song

    Cass some people just want to critize, complain, moan irrespective of what system was chosen. Just part of life - your positive attitude is refreshing. All the best for season 2018 

    Go Dees

    Doesn’t sound overly promising. 

    I wish clubs had been informed that sound quality can be greatly enhanced with a remastering of the original sound source and not a deadly dull re recording which is what we have been given. 

    The club better get this right

    Geez I’m sure I pointed that out a few days ago -  maybe the club does read Demonland

    I never get involved with politics just does not worry me. If they like football, like red&blue, like singing our theme tune - Who Im I to judge - they sound alright to me.

    The old theme song sounded nice and warm and organic, like listening to a Beatles or Pink Floyd record, or any old record for that matter.

    The new one is too digital, clean and lacking character.  Like listening to Katy Perry or any modern radio bubblegum pop.

    Would love Gilmour to do a version...

    ...gotta be better than the Barry Crocker version we've had for the last 40 years.

    Yeah I get what you say - I have mixed feelings. The song at the end of the game is important to some fans, sadly some grounds don’t have the best PA systems. So no good spending money to fix the PA if the recording is sub-standard and part of the problem. 

    I really don’t mind either way - I’m happy to go with the majority, but I’m mindful of our fans all around Australia that go see games in stadiums apart from the biggies. 

    I can accept the outcome either way.

    You have mixed feelings because you are a Tiger ? Dr. 

    You should be run out of town at dawn, Clint Eastwood style

    you are very good at fence sitting....

    Nah we have supporters in every state around Australia - I’m mindful that sometimes they have the rights to hear the song.

    • 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.

      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?

      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.
