Rob, although living in LA, is a member here; we've been to a couple of games together.  Other musically oriented Demon supporters are David Bland who some may remember from both the Go!! Show and Kommotion (he also attended games with Rob and myself) and the drummer from the Huxton Creepers, Archie Law.

Bruce Woodley is a huge Demon

Had a coffee with him before the Jeelong Preliminary Final

We were both Nervous Wrecks!! :)

 

I can't believe that nobody has posted this song, featuring Demon tragics Scared Weird Little Guys, the late Jim Keays, Wilbur Wilde and Russell Robertson, and brilliant footage of Barassi, Smith (Norm and Shaun), the Wiz, the Ox, Neita, Allen Jakovich, Big Carl, Jacko and of course my idol, among many others.

It's not that.

It's just that there has never been a player with the number 666.

I'll settle for 13 (Clarry, Yze, Jakovich)

For Demons supporters  I'm surprised no one has  said "Number of the Beast" :lol:

You must all be too young ;)

I did suggest some 6.66 from Salmon Hater. Got no love alas.

I love the Scared Weird Little Guys.

I remember walking through the MCG carpark after a Melbourne match in the 1980s. I walked past Jim Keays, who was also wearing a Demons scarf. I said "g'day Jim" or something similar. He looked at me, said nothing, looked away then kept walking. Oh well, never meet your heroes they say !! I suppose I shouldn't speak ill of the dead.

Gus said on the latest podcast that he had made a play list for his dad called sticksy 2.0 on Spotify. I have been enjoying it all week.

The songs have new meaning knowing that they have been selected by gus for his dad

That's actually a killer playlist, feels like some late night Rage on ABC back in the 80s/90s or 3am drunk at a party somewhere

It's a little known fact that the 'Can Can' song is actually the 'Galop Infernal'. 

It is literally the song of the wild party going on in hell, personally led by the devil. Written by Jacques Offenbach as a mad parody of all the snobbery of classical music and performance at the time.

It also will lift you hair off your head with a good sound system or headphones and a proper orchestra and choir going at the full speed intended. Best I can find is from 1991!

 

INFERNAL GALLOP

This ball is original

with an infernal gallop

let's all give the signal!

Long live the hellish gallop!

Let's give the signal

with an infernal gallop!

Friends, long live the ball!

La la la la la!

I’M YOUR HOOCHIE COOCHE MAN

 

The gypsy man told my mother

Before l was born

He gonna be a son of a gun

 

He gonna make pretty woman

Jump and shout

Then the world gonna know 

What this all about

 

Cause you know I’m here

Everybody knows I’m here

Yeah you know I’m a

hoochie coochie man

Everybody knows I’m here

 

I got a black cat bone

I got a mojo too

I got the Johnny Concheroo too

I’m gonna mess with you

 

I’m gonna make the girls lead me by

the hand

Then the world’s gonna know

The hoochie coochie man

 

But you know I’m here

Everybody knows I’m here

Yeah you know I’m  a hoochie

coochie man

Everybody knows I’m here

 

On the seventh hour

On the seventh day

On the seventh month

The seven doctors said

He was born for good luck

And you’ll see I got seven

hundred dollars 

Don’t you mess with me  

 

But you know I’m here 

Yeah you know I’m a hoochie

coochie man

Everybody knows I’m here

It was, but I learned the entire drum solo when younger and the rhythm still sticks inside the head. So I play it, moderately often.

As an obsessive Bond fan, John Barry always calms me. Multiple Bond scores will very likely settle the nerves today.

The connection of what's at the end of Satan's rainbow and the cool demon at the end of the clip complete seem appropriate;

And  as the Temper Trap are huge MFC supporters a shout out to them also

 

Fader is a great track. Love it. As West Aussies, pity they're not playing Optus. I figure they're probably not a band anymore.

Love this one: Oh I do love my Saturday arvo

 


This one really gets me in the feels, reminds me of walking to the footy with the old man, he resplendent in Dees merch from head to toe. Love ya dad, miss you and heading along to the G, Waverley, Kardinia park and the grounds in between.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
