    we have one.  hells bells.  

     I'm rolling thunder, pouring rain
    I'm coming on like a hurricane
    My lightning's flashing across the sky
    You're only young, but you're gonna die
    I won't take no prisoners, won't spare no lives
    Nobody's putting up a fight
    I got my bell, I'm gonna take you to hell
    I'm gonna get ya, Satan get ya

     

    Hi there Sharkie. Again though it caters for a particular demographic that likes heavy metal.

    I didn’t know those bells were from a song until a mate pointed it out to me. When I hear them I’m expecting the cry of “bring out you’re dead ! ” to follow.

    I just love the menace in the words, the thumping riffs, the base and drums.  Turn it up as loud as possible.  Run through brick wall stuff.

    I get a similar feeling  when I hear Bullet The Blue Sky off The Joshua Tree album live. Without the running through a brick wall bit though !

    I’m an Arsenal fan and won’t be singing you’ll never walk alone as it’s Liverpool’s song 

    We’ve already got one that I sing at the end of the game (never at the start, it’s an omen)

    I also find it strange but am struggling with the metaphor ( although a great clip) !

    Not the reaction from Demonland that I had hoped for . 

    A bugler is on my to do list . Contacted the cheer squad as they had one but crickets . Hard to smuggle into the G as you need approval from the AFL . I also need their approval to print 1000's of pamphlets to promote the charities QR codes and web addresses . If I sought approval for the Apollo Mission I would need the ok from the AFL , MFC , Cheer Squad , Demonland and wife ( no one likes others meddling in their business ) and it would never get done . Like commissioning a new song .

    We need to keep finding outside ideas to help our team . Think Burgess , Williams and Yze . The song is the best pre game song . People come from around the world to hear it sung at Anfield and will do the same at the G . The Dees deserve the best !

    Cant get passed status for replying to messages . Tech dinosaur .

    It is not Liverpool's song ! That is like saying I Dreamed a Dream is Susan Boyles song .

    We need an Aussie song and it's funny because I have been toying with this very thing. 

    Parkway Drive is an Aussie band and we could get them to do a special production for us. 

    Song is called Dedicated and you just need to adjust a couple words in the song.

    For years I've fought for this
    For years, our heart still beats
    For the ones who've stood beside us
    Still strong, you can't break us

    You should know by now
    Here comes whats next Through blood, sweat, tears
    We're still here
     
    Unbreakable!!!

    And yes it's very heavy so there maybe a few horrified. 

    Ahh but it's all in fun.

    He has an uncanny ability to produce deeply emotional and evocative music to match lyrics.

    Agreed 

    This whole idea is ludicrous 

    Norm’s Curse can only be lifted in Late September/October

    I am a passionate supporter . My wife comes from a good Dee family . Gawny was amazed that my older daughter went to what games at Etihad . Jim Stynes was amazed that my younger daughter had been a member for 9 years when she was 8 . Ron Barassi calls me the other Hutchy .

    I would really appreciate a sensible discussion as , at the moment , I am thinking I might have to go up to Level 4 to minimize embarrassment . I did go up the back once 39 years ago to have a joint ( can I say that ? ) .

    Happy to rank the suggested songs and have a vote .

    I’m an Everton supporter last thing I want to do is sing a Liverpool song - not to mention that it’s too main stream and too over done. (NEXT)

    It is ludicrous to mention the curse . As I have said it was a fun way to get attention not discussion .

    Stand up Sir and leave the discussion if you find it a waste of your time .

    I don't like the idea of recycling someone else's identity. Oldest professional football club in the world, let's not borrow songs from another club.

    It's a great pre game song, really gets the blood racing.

    I’m at a bar called Nice Guys in Victoria St, Richmond and literally any song on the mix tape they have on  atm could be our anthem. Lots of Stranglers, Madness, The Jam, The Clash, New Order etc. Anyway....back to the pre-game drinks in the sun. See you all at the G later ?

    Yes, Singing “You will never Walk Alone” is such an original idea.

    Looking forward to hearing your suggestion for song NEXT . Do you think it important we have one ?

    As I said above saying YNWA is a Liverpool song is like saying I Dreamed A Dream is Susan Boyles song .

    Many original ideas are very popular today Sir . Think about Never Tear Us Apart . That was not an " original idea " .

    YNWA is not a rivals song YET .

    • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

      It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?
