Nah we have supporters in every state around Australia - Iā€™m mindful that sometimes they have the rights to hear the song.Ā

    I know that in the grand scheme of things this is a pretty small matter, however it's one that, strangely, I feel pretty passionately about. I just sent the following to the Club.

    To whom it may concern

    I've seen on Social Media this evening, that the Club Executive is yet to make a decision on whether to use the re-recorded version of 'It's a Grand Old Flag' or the Fable Singers version in use since 1972.
    Ā 
    For what it's worth, as a fairly young, but long-term member of the Club, I'm all for positive change. That is, change that improves on the status quo. Unfortunately, this smacks of change for change's sake.
    Ā 
    I understand that the re-records were at the behest of the AFL, which comes as no surprise, given that they seem to continually come up with solutions to problems that don't exist! With this in mind, I would implore the club to think carefully about replacing this important part of the match day experience.
    Ā 
    Personally, I find the new version sterile, lacking tone quality and depth of sound, and generally uninspiring as a 'call to arms/battle song'.
    Ā 
    I've been very pleased to see that a number of the bigger Melbourne clubs have chosen to stick with the versions we all know and love. I hope that we can count the Red and Blue in that number also.
    Ā 
    Yours sincerely

    You donā€™t retain the honorĀ of beingĀ the oldest continuously fieldedĀ football club in the world by not retaining your heritage - get [farked] Gil!Ā 

    If the option is a simple ā€˜tune upā€™ then thatā€™s ok, but if itā€™s some sort of modernised interpretation of the red and the blue, then [fark] me, what are we here for???Ā 

    That would be devastating, itā€™s all about the heritage, we even changed our logo recently to capture it (which I love BTW).

    Sorry Gil, but the needs of one never out-do the needs of many...

    For what it is worthĀ there was two new uploads to the club'sĀ YouTube channel today with what appear to be veryĀ carefully worded titles "Official theme" and a separate "rerecorded theme"Ā

    Thanks for that

    The new version lacks punch and passion in the instrumentation

    Well said - not to say I agree or disagree.

    But, we play games in Canberra, Darwin, Alice Spring etc the PA systems / acoustics at those grounds are not the best. If all MCC and Victorians vote the same way its a no brainer.Ā 

    But sometimes,Ā  do we have to give a touch - just so the Demon supporters in every state in Australia get to enjoy the song after the game - because this year I hope it gets played after the game many more times than last year.Ā

    Thanks for contacting the Melbourne Football Club.

    Every clubs theme song has been re-recorded for the 2018 season.

    We are currently reviewing both versions (new and old) and will make a decision in the coming days as to what version we will use throughout 2018.

    Thanks for your support and feedback!

    Seems like all the traditional clubs are making a statement to the AFL to stop [censored] with the game.

    I agree.Ā  The update was totally unnecessary.Ā  At no point have I heard it live and gone 'gee, that could use an update!'

    But I thought we were going to bend over and play the new one?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmyā€™s inclusive bannerā€”"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwoodā€™s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.Ā

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecastā€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze ā€” expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateā€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodā€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
