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

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
