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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

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

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

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
