Every theme song will be re-done by AFL

Featured Replies

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.

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

Maybe we need a poll


Tell us what you think.

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.

I really hope we have the guts to do this too, instead of just mindlessly accepting everything the do for once.

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.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

  • GAMEDAY: Sydney

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

  • NON-MFC: Round 11

    Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.

  • PREVIEW: Sydney

    The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.
