Our Trumpeter

Featured Replies

Posted

Got talking footy with the teller in my local Commonwealth bank. He is best mates with Melbourne's trumpeter, Hugh Dann. Hugh is the guy in the snappy maroon jacket, and he's a passionate MFC supporter. He plays second trumpet to the regular guy, Ari who's not such a big supporter but plays the trumpet well.

Anyway I appreciate Hugh & Ari adding to the culture and atmosphere of our club. And I hope Hugh gets to play for us on that one day in September, before too long. And that he's still playing at the end! My dream anyway... thanks guys!

 

God bless both of them. Its a wonderful touch to a win and good on 'em for doing so.

May they play "Its a grand old flag" often and regularly for years to come....starting next year!!!

Fix'd.

 

On the song 'Nada por Nada' by this new Melbourne music project Chico Chica Huw Dann plays trumpet and I play bass!

Link here -> Chico Chica

Check it out. He's a very good trumpeter.

I love the trumpeter at our home games, however, I didn't really understand why, at the West Coast game, he started up right as the song began playing over the loudspeakers.

What about the trumpet at 3/4 time....

Anyone else embarrassed?

Worst act of arrogance for a team at 1-9 (at the time)

Love him pre game.

no offense to the guy, and no jab at his playing abilities, but i don't like it. Feels like he's our own snappier dressed version of Joffa. It feels strange at this stage of where melbourne are at to have a guy playing trumpet 20 mins before the game ends. And what was the song that he played at the end? because it wasn't the melbourne song

 

I know I'll be unpopular for saying so, but I can't stand it! What's the point of having a guy with a velvet jacket and a trumpet play the team song when we've just heard it? I normally have a mate from each team we play against look at me like it's the most retarded tradition in footy. It is pretty naf. It kinda looks like Austin Powers lost his mojo, but learnt how to play the trumpet and thinks maybe that'll help him pull chicks.


Congrats to him/them but one of them seriously can't hold a consistent beat

When the trumpeter started playing at 3/4 time, i thought it was more of a way to bring attention to Jimmy's banners that were in the cheersquad, as he stood just under the thanks jimmy banner. The song being like a tribute to Jimmy.

Superman theme...

What if we lost?

Gotta say I wouldn't miss it...

I was amusing myself when I couldn't sleep last night by reading bomberblitz (all 35+ pages of their matchday thread), and someone posted something funny. Along the lines of

"they should pay copyright infringement to John Williams in the amount of $767,000"

I was a little over refreshed by games end but on my way back to the social club to celebrate I bumped into him, He was more than happy to play the whole song for me personally while I recorded it onto my iphone. I would put it on here but not sure how and a little embaressed by my cheering as he played :wub:


Reckon it's a damn good thing and can't see why anyone would need to be negative towards it.

Something different from other clubs. Good work Hugh.

It's a lot more high brow than those out dated ruckles/mascots that just scare the sh!t out of kids!!

Just went on the site, and found a thread about the umpiring. 60% of people reckon it ruined the game and that they would've won had it been fair.

LAWLZ

Yeah the 3/4 time was a bit off i reckon, i don't mind it at the start of the game, even with strange occurrence of themes in recent games. And he is slowly starting to be able to stay in time with the crowds clapping.

I love it, but only pre-game when it is reasonable to play the song.

Failing that, AFTER a win. Not during the song being played over the PA system though, that's naff.

I've not noticed it before a game has ended, but that is arrogance and making an assumption that reflects on all of our supporters.

Don't like that one bit and if I was anywhere near him I'd stuff my sock in his trumpet.


I must admit... I was never much of a fan of the trumpeter's on their inception - I used to think it looked tardy and silly.

But now... I've changed my tune. It has really grown on me and the crowd is getting more into it than ever before! They are BOTH building something strong with their trumpeting and I hope it continues into something MFC Home games are renowned for in years and years to come!

If he could just keep time. Plus after we hear the song threw the speakers then he comes on and, it loses its shine about it then changes beat, clapping changes pace and loses anything special about it. Just the song once would be fine. Either trumpter or CD I dont mind.

 

God bless both of them. Its a wonderful touch to a win and good on 'em for doing so.

agree totally

It was at 3/4 time and it wasn't the Club song that was played. It was the theme from Superman - stirring stuff. I think it supports our theme "Masters of the MCG". It's time to be bold.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
