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.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
