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.

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    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

    PREGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    The Demons head back to Melbourne after an embarrassing loss to the Dockers to take on the Magpies at the MCG on Kings Birthday. With a calf injury to Lachie Hunter and Jacob van Rooyen possibly returning from injury who comes in and who goes out?
