Highway to Hell would be better than Hells Bells.

What about "It's a Long Way To The Top".

    One for the broader AFL; clearly weather is a risk for opening round at this time of year, wreaking havoc on a watertight fixturing process, so next year they should introduce a “Round -1” for contingency purposes

    When you say 'song'...

    Annual low-key game.

    For just one game each season, they don't set off fireworks, play junk noise in every pause in play, flick the lights on and off light a neurotic five year old, or have idiotic yelling about 'make some noiiiiiiiise' at any time during the day.

    Make the ground a triangle and have three teams competing at once. 

    Then we could have Melbourne, Geelong and Collingwood in a triple threat match for the WWF championship!

    You can spend a lifetime searching and you’ll still not find an appropriate song to lead into our club song.

    In the history of mankind has there ever been a happier explosion of happiness to open a song as ours is? I think not.

    3. New run out song.

    So we run out to Hells Bells right? Before switching to the grand old flag. And don't get me wrong, it's pretty cool, fits with the demon theme. But sometimes you need to try something different.

    I've recently discovered this song: Wolf Totem by Mongolian folk metal band The HU and to me the combination of heavy and traditional instruments and throat singing, it's what we need. The other team aren't messing with wolf totem.

     

     

     

    We haven't run out to Hells Bells for about 4 years, for some unknown reason they have changed to Enter Sandman.

    I had a thought the other day about finding some way to reward people who have 'full attendance' for home games at MCG/Marvel for the H&A season.

    Maybe entry into a special raffle with some good sponsored prizes.

    My idea.

    Home club gets to choose the song the opposition runs out with.

    Cue the Benny Hill music. 

    And when they come out the other side of the banner expecting a transition to their club song, Rick Astley pops up on the big screen.

    Love it, the club should do more to reward the most loyal of members.

    Absolutely, even if it contradicts my desire for a fired up run out song and the demon time button.

    No flashing lights or music between goals and especially quiet time at quarter and half time breaks. It’s break, you’re there to catch up with friends not have [censored] pumped in via the speakers

    A serious suggestion: The team should sing the club song after a win on the ground in front of the fans instead of in the changing room. 

    With loudspeakers.

    I'm thinking the first ten or seconds of 'killing in the name of'.

    Hmm, it's not the opening of the song but the beat drop for 'Ecstasy of Gold' from The Good the Bad and the Ugly gets up there. In fact, that'd do for a run out song with the cresendo of bells rolling to the siren...

    Oh, wait, you want an over-the-top opening to a piece of music, you need to head to central Europe.

    Hrdza - Stephan would absolutely ruin all warm up routines.

    But seriously - in the end there is no contest in the high-energy enthusiasm start of a song;

     

    Personally I think the club should drop a line to Bear McCreary for a custom job.

    Killing on the name (of) is an awesome choice and it’s one of many awesome choices but again, they don’t flow nicely into the ebullient opening burst of our song. Even Scatman can’t match it.

    I reckon the opening two 2.5 minutes of Electravision Mantra would be great. And they were an Aussie band. RIP Damo,

    Instead of the swirl-target in the DA behind goal to encourage accuracy, 10 x DA members dress up in bowling pin costumes, arrange themselves behind the goal for set shots and then all fall over dramatically as the ball sails through the middle 

    Like it’s not dangerous enough being directly behind the goals as it is. 😂

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
