    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.

    Good call....

    hardly gimmicky.

    I was a bit perturbed when I thought he was going to play the Club song at 3/4 time, but quite happy for him to play a "revving up" tune - as long as club song is not played until the end.

    It is great to have something that is ours alone.

    Theme? How about Let's win every game at the G. Then we can be the masters.

    Let's get a game in September before superman song pops out.

    Like i said, love it at the start, but you can keep the 'rev up'

    I'd prefer to see it on the field.

    I'll take my inspiration from Jimmy and the boys tackling and kicking goals!

    oh god the trumpeter sh*ts me! why does he have to dress like a dodgy 70s college frat boy lovechild of matt preston?? i'd rather see one of liam's mates on the didge - especially at 3/4 time.

    Grand Old Flag on the didge - I think you're onto something!

    I love the trumpeter. I especially love how much opposition supporters hate it.

    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

    Pretty funny. I was thinking of joining as "Dappadeedan" or something, and quietly suggesting that two of the fifties would have been goals anyway. Another two were within range, and the rest were our possessions that might have ended up as goals anyway. Oh and that most of them were completely right...

    But whatever. Let them sulk. I might have been a bit kinder here if Ash was still around.

    Begs the question. I know our threads never crack 30 pages on a matchday thread... but did we ever chuck a tantie like they did over the past 4 years?

    Ash is still around Dappa, he has posted about 5 times this last week on various topics.

    But he has been much quiter, more to our loss. He was a good poster who had his head screwed on fairly right (being a dons supporter only fault :P )

    What about the Melbourne Members in the reserve singing the song halfway through the final qtr. They shut up pretty quick when the Bombers banged on consecutive quick goals. Wait till the end of the game please.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
