"The Trumpeter" - greatest hits...

Featured Replies

Posted

So far, we've heard "Ride of the Valkyries" and assorted themes from Star Wars...

What will the trumpeter play at our next home match - vs Richmond, Sunday August 8th? What would you like to hear him play?

 

I'd like him to stick a bloody sock in it until the game is well & truly over.

Where is he usually situated anyway? Couldn't spot him on Sunday.

Has he played the 'Imperial March' tune yet. I know he has played a number of Star Wars tunes, not sure I have heard that one. Love to hear him play that one as we start to run over whoever it is we are playing. Just so they know that the kill is imminent.

Failing this, I think he should go with 'The Smurfs' tune or (heaven forbid) "This is the song that doesn't end...it goes on and on my friend. Some people started singing it not knowing what it was and they'll continue singing it forever just becuz.....This is the song that doesn't end...it goes on and on my friend. Some ....."


He plays almost right above me every week....

Yet every week I forget to bring a bag of rocks.

I have nothing against the guy personally but i just find the whole thing unneccessary. Are we paying this guy. Seriously I just dont think we need a trumpeter and his red valvet jacket playing. Now he thinks he is so popular before he plays our themesong he plays some other tune and at half time he thinks we still want to hear from him.

I laugh when listening to the radio when he breaks out on what the commentators say about him.

Im all for entertainment but we dont need this guy.


If he would just keep time. Tap your foot or somthing matey. You lose everyone half way through.

I don't have a major issue with him - but I wish next time he'd begin his celebration song a little earlier.

He started playing our theme song about 10 seconds before the final siren went - which meant no one around us could hear the song being played on the loud speaker until about half way through.

One 'note' this week sounded like Superman stood on a duck.

I loved the tunes played this week. I've got to be honest, I don't really enjoy the solitaire, "grand ol' flag",, I feel it would be livelier with accompaniment, some saxophone or such, needs something.

But those invigorating tunes stand up well.

it`s jazz maybe?

Really, it's self-indulgent [censored].

It only perpetuates any stereotypes about the club.

I hope his next song is Silence. If i wanted to hear bad trumpeting id go to my nephews music recital.

This. I hate it and the sooner they get rid of it the better.

I'm actually no big fan of the trumpeter either, though his tune sounds less and less like The Last Post (the trumpet plays, our boys jump from the dugout to get slaughtered...) with every win...

Edited by pitchfork

Don't really see a problem with it.


Holy Diver- Ronnie James Dio. Make it happen trumpet man!

And to honor the great one, finish of with "Wrathchild"- Iron Maiden.

I'm no fan of trumpet man, and to play our theme song before the game has finished reeks of arrogance. Acts like that will make us hated by other teams, and give them extra motivation to stick it to us next time they play us, I say boot the trumpet man back from whence he came.

Yeah, I don't mind the whole trumpeter thing but people really try to clap and sing along but he misses a beat here and there and it throws everyone out which sounds petty here in writing but at the game after a win when every one tries to rejoice in unison it muddles everyone

Fire by Kasabian. Not sure how good it will sound only being played by trumpet though?

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
