The players have a song of choice when they kick a goal. For Charlie Cameron it’s Take Me Home… 

I think the ‘suits in ‘marketing’ call it fan engagement. Whilst I don’t relate to it, having watched the Dees a few times now at The Gabba, the young kids love it.

The choice of goal celebration songs pales into insignificance when you see on the big screen a clip of the goal-kicking player’s celebratory dance. Painfully cringe. 
Especially old mate Zorko who does a gangnam style move. 🤮

    I wonder what the Bris fans think about it.

    Can’t speak for all Brisbane fans but those at the ground go nuts for it. Especially Country Road and Sweet Caroline. They sing those songs louder than they do their own theme song.

    Hashtag don’t forget, there’s actually a footy match on. 🙄

    Maybe they like a 3 ring circus!

    Did the Lions come up with the blueprint for how to beat Collingwood? Or was it just a bloopie?

    In the second quarter they did what no one had done and that was regarding the Dacios boys it was not what they did with their first possession, but did not allow them free possession after that and that's the trick to it all.  When McCray said I would tag them he knew these boys could run all day so going after them by tagging is a waste of time it's how you set up to stop them getting to the next contest to create the lose man.

    The move he's doing is the floss (viral from tik tok like 5 years ago).  He looks so smug whilst doing it, really kills the footy experience 🤮

    I found watching a couple of the brisbane players singing along cringy myself.

    Yes that's the one Kent...

    I literally take ear plugs now and use them at half time because of her.

    Not sure what happened to Robbo.  Wish he would come back.

    Voice training needed urgently, breathing lessons - the works - or, as you say, Robbo makes a comeback.

    Demon3165 spot on. Nick especially is always given the chance to chase his kicks and get contest to contest. You need to limit his follow up ability because that's where the real damage happens.

    Speaking of theme songs I'm a little surprised that the French Government haven't made noises about the use of their national anthem as a footy club tune. The French are usually a little touchy over such things... Camembert anyone ??

    You’re right, DP. Zorko does the floss. I’m getting him mixed up with another player who does the riding a horse and circling a lasso above his head thing. Anyways, they’re all terrible, especially on the giant screen where it’s hard to avoid seeing them. And especially when we’re getting done. That’s the last thing you wanna see.

    I don't want to be reminded of any dance moves 😂  it's a good thing the Dee Army bay is sober, as otherwise in that Gabba game I think I would have had a shot for every time the Lions were dancing on the big screen!

    Would love to see Norff knock them off. Unlikely but worth a look. Some of those Blues look really soft almost sissy boy level. They dont impress me at all.

     Hit em hard Norff.

    I was going to write about Joe Daniher as well but couldn’t quite recall the song title. It’s totally about the youth engagement and good on him for sticking his hand up for the female under 10’s.

    Evidently according to my Brisbane friends, Joe chose "Let it go" from frozen because he sings it as Let it Joe.

    I find the songs and clips of the footballers doing a little dance to their song all a bit cringeworthy. But hey, I'm just not into crowd activation I guess. I'd rather have a conversation with the people I'm with rather than having to shout at them after a goal.

    • 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.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      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.
