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 ....."

    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...

    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.

  • Quote

    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?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
