I love the guy. Anyone know who he is?

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...

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

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
