Something is better than nothing. Get off the team's back in this regard. Was at the Bulldog's game yesterday to watch the Suns, and if you want cringe-worth entertainment, look no further than the Doggies.

I'll put it bluntly: sometime pre-game, at one point, "Who Let The Dogs Out?" was playing.

Seriously though, I like the initiative. But yeah, it could be better. It's entertainment made by people from within the MCC most likely, or made to appeal to that demographic. What do you expect?

We have Nick McCallum doing some sort of pre-game introduction, today introducing the new mascots or something.

Then we raise the 'Grand Old Flag' (a flag that looks kind of like a premiership flag, only it just has our emblem, name, and the ring of stars on it) to the tune of the trumpeter playing the song. Then the trumpeter gets up in the stands and does it again, although that time his microphone wasn't working so well.

We leave ourselves open to criticism with this flag business. Against Sydney some Sydney supporters were making the exact comment everyone's thinking ('That's the only flag they have').

I've never liked the trumpeter either. It's just a waste of time.

The "Old" Flag should be Flown after the mountain has been climbed.

I can't believe they're going to do that flag rubbish before every game. Fact they did it after the game as well was incredible. Win something meaningful then raise that.

The so-called entertainment is for imbeciles and cretins. I guess a game of football is not entertaining enough for football fans who go to the football to watch a game of football.

Seconded. Dignified silence or classic matches on the big screen please.

Will go the same way as the "Coca Cola Countdown " ! Robbo was the initial "Weekly Legend" and predictably told the indifferent crowd how much he loved playing in front of "you wonderful people"..........Aaaaaaaaargh !!!!!!

Didn't mind raising the flag after a win.... but before? Big pass from me.

Also, away with the trumpeter. Really not a fan.

Like the trumpeter and raising of the flag and the Premiership years on the Olympic stand. Its about time that when you attend a Dees home game that you actully know it is a Dees home game rather than just another generic AFL game.

What about having David Bridie singing "Grand old Flag" I would stand up for that!

On a related note, the quality of some of the highlights was pretty poor. Looked like someone had taped the highlights to poor quality VCR tape.

VHS, Rogue, VHS.

Who was the melbourne ex footy player thast un veiled the flag yesterday? Was t robbo cause he was interviewed at half time. I was not in my seat at the time. I heard the bugle boy though and was glad to miss it. But when he played it the 2nd time in the stands it was terrible and I think he may have missed a few notes.

Wh do we need entertainment before the game though. Cant people just come and wait. I know it can be a little boring but Id just rather see my team win then wonder who will unfurl the flag.

Also after what collingwood did friday night and the size of there flag our flag seems a little pointless.

Do we actually pay for bugle boy to do that. I hope not.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
