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'...

 

 

(Forgive me, for I am of advanced years)

Its a song, it has notes, played o instruments, it has vocals... ha ha

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.

Multi-ball??

That way we can get double the behinds

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.

Where can I get tickets? 

Probably already sold out to people who want to go to watch football!!!

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.

Would love for us to do a big collab thing in Hobart. Devils v Demons in the middle of Dark Mofo festival. Tassie gov to sponsor event. 

The to be built stadium with a heap of fire and Red light... Hell in Hobart in the middle of winter

Enter Sandman with crowd participation is mad but just wont for us at the G

 

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

 

 

F1 in town next week. See if Christian can get the Red Bull drivers down to the Dees and in a jumper

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. 😂
