I swear back in maybe 2016, there was a song that played before the Melbourne Demons Runout only in home games and the lyrics were It’s time to Raise Hell! (X2) I’ve been searching for months and haven’t found it

 

Maybe cause it was Hells Bells.
Reckon we should stick with it.

Now we are premiers, the sound of that song should simultaneously send a chill down the spines of MFC and opposition supporters for polar opposite reasons.

Hope it becomes even more hated by the opposition than Ports never tear us apart or whatever it is.

 

Stick to Hells Bells, but they should play more if it.

Not just  the intro.

The intro is all that’s needed. ❤️💙

I like the bells tolling before the players walk out almost as a heartbeat, then as soon as “It’s a grand old flag” is finished put the rest of Hells Bells on. 

 

How about the bagpipes?  If that doesnt scare off the opposition nothing will.

What about "You'll Never Walk Alone"? You'd think there'd be a massive groundswell of support for that amongst Demons supporters.

NO reminds me of the Port crowd, singing "Never tear us apart.

I liked Hell's Bells, unfortunately it doesn't flow well into "It's a grand old flag"

(Serious now.) I think the club should try out that "this is me" song, as it means something to the team and their mighty effort, and you never know, it might stick. Like a viral meme, these things can't be orchestrated. You just can't predict what will resonate with the intended audience.

But Hell's Bells always sounded good with the tolling bell and then the electric guitar ... and then the effect was ruined by the sudden switch to "Grand Old Flag". (Good club song but the juxtaposition didn't work.)

"Grand Old Flag" is perfectly fine. No need for any other song to be played

You are remebering correctly. Sadly I think the whole thing was a five second jingle and there wasn't a full power ballad version.

I’m a hell’s bells supporter. If people are concerned about the segue to Its a Grand Old Flag then it could be handled by having a pause between the two.

How about a re-recorded Hells Bells, local band,  with changed words.

We're rolling thunder, pouring rain
We're coming on like a hurricane
Our lightning's flashing, melting the fuse
You've come to play, but you're gonna lose
We won't take no prisoners, won't spare our might
Nobody's putting up a fight
We got our bell, we're gonna put you through hell
We're gonna get ya, Demons gonna belt ya

 

Gee, I wish Brian Johnson would just ease off a turn of two of the vice he put his nuts in while recording that song. Prefer Bon.

I’m not familiar with much from AC/DC. Are they real lyrics of theirs or did you compose that?

The double negative in the fifth lines leads me to guess it’s the former. 

I've never known the words to that song or any of their songs really. It's just so much screeching and most are interchangeable from song to song. I copied them from a lyrics site and make some quick changes to suit a sports team. Others could do a better job no doubt.

  • 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 Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"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 Collingwood’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.

  • 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 forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — 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 Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
