Please!!!

It is so frustrating. I thought they would have fixed this by now. We hardly get a chance to win and when we finally do, you can't even here the song in the speakers...

who is the best person for me to email about this.

It may fall on deaf ears mate. :lol:

The same needs to be said about the siren actually. I cant tell you how many times I have wondered why the have stopped running, only to realise the siren has gone. Iam sure this has happen only after the last 2 years. Unless, i am actually going deaf.

Agree.

Also, what's the deal with the trumpet player? Firstly, I'm not a fan of it. And secondly, you can't hear him anyway, at least I haven't been able to pretty much every time he's performed this year. I see him on the scoreboard but can only faintly hear it above the murmuring of the crowd.

was he there yesterday? I didn't notice him at all, unless he was on while I was still in the Redlegs room.

also, did anyone hear the bagpipe player down towards the Punt Road oval? I'd parked at the Richmond Social Club, realised when I got to my car that I'd left my jacket in the Redlegs area, walked all the way back again, stayed for the raffle and then walked back to my car. All this would have taken over half an hour, and the entire time that bagpipe player was still going...

Yeah, I walked past her on my way to the train. She went ok. Plenty of people were tossing gold coins her way, so I think she did ok.

I would prefer to hear bagpipes before the game than a trumpet.

What I'd actually prefer though would be an electric guitar ripping the club song Hendrix style. But I don't think that'll be happening somehow.

What I would also like, and I think we should do this, is in that 10 minutes of time between when the teams run onto the field and the game actually starting, we should play a song, the same song at the same time for each of our home games, like Liverpool do with 'You'll never walk alone.' I'm not sure what song it should be, probably something Australian, it could be modern, it could be some rock classic from decades ago, I don't know. But it could become like our 'second' club song. Anyway, just a thought.

Lyrics wise, does anyone else think the song "How far We've Come" by Matchbox Twenty is an odd choice of song to play at the ground? Singing about the end of the world tends to pessimistic thinking in my books.....

I can't stand the bag-pipes. Earlier in the season, she was absolutely raping our song. Since then she has improved, but still doesn't sound good IMO. I'd much prefer the trumpeter to be honest.

Each to their own i suppose.

Yeah, I still struggle to compehend that a set of bagpipes are considered to be a musical instrument. Having said that, she does a pretty good job; the little red horns that she wears go well too.

I'm impressed by her stamina! she's able to play for ages without seemingly taking a break!

The thing that annoys me is, at least in the MCC Members, you can hear the crap they play from their "Worst Pop/Rock of the 80s" album during the pre-match, but as soon as the theme songs are played someone fiddles with the volume. Credit where credit is due however, when we won on Saturday it was blaring out of the speakers behind us. No better feeling than pumping it out with 200-odd other MFC/MCC members/supporters. Not a feral in sight ;)

    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

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
