haha yeah what a legend, its such a good tradition, shame we can't win more often to let him play, it was funny at the carlton game, maybe they knew we weren't gonna win so they made him play before the game haha!

oh and NO, i don't know who he is... :huh:

 

I had moved to the Telstra Dome by the end of the Melbourne game to watch my kid play at half time, but I was listening to the game on TripleM. The trumpeter started up with about 1 minute to go. The commentators made reference to it and you could even hear it in the background.

Why didn't he play on Sunday? It was our home game. I missed him.

he did play... before the game... and with about 40 seconds to go in the game, he declared victory and started up again... he was on the half forward flank near the MCC and where the melbourne members reserve seating is...

if you watch the reply you can hear the crowd clapping in tune to him...

but to be honest, it concerned me a bit, it was like it almost distracted the players, because freo went forward as he started...


I was in the Redlegs section behind the chearsquad behind the goals. I didnt hear him due to the noise of the crowd at the time!!

Heard him and what a fantastic effort by the unsung hero. Would gladly like to hear the bugle belt that number out when we are assured of a win.

Great stuff and hopefully unique to MFC supporters.

I would love it if we could belt Collingwood easily and he starts up at the 15 minute mark of the last quarter and plays through to the final siren. It would make a nicer serenade for the backs of the black and white filth lurching up the ramp home.

Hey this could be our motivation for the Collingwood game... can someone get the message to the boys, get the trumpeter playing at the 15 minute mark of the final qtr on Queens Birthday!

It's what I'm dreaming of already :lol:


The moron started early and everyone was screaming at him to shutup, the [censored] couldn't wait for the attention and as soon as he started playing Freo went forward and should have kicked one. I'd like him alot more if he'd start playing when we'd actually f**king won.

I thought it was premature as well, even though I knew he only does it when 30 seconds is left.

Still worried me.

He sits front row of the MCC, 2nd level, always in a red jacket.

It's a good thing, hopefully it becomes a famous tradition like Joffas golden jacket.

I hear what you're saying, but hey we earned some bragging rights on Sunday!

I think maybe there's a bit of a culture around Melbourne that's too cautious, conservative. We might do better to take a few more risks, throw caution to the winds. I was rapt with the noise and enthusiasm from the supporters on Sunday. The ump's wouldn't have dared to pay a 50-50 holding the ball against us in that last qtr.

So if he wants to play when we've got it won, good on him I think. Maybe after the initial shock, the players might actually use the extra emotion and enthusiasm of the crowd as the trumpet plays in the dying moments to feed off it, boot one more just to get an even bigger roar!

I hope he becomes bigger than that goose Joffa too... :D

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
