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

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.

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

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
