We must have won on the weekend - we're whinging about a trumpet and flag as opposed to how crap Jones and Watts are!

Anyway, on the topic, I love the trumpet. I saw him for the first and only time agaisnt the Swans last year (I'm interstate), and I thought it was fantastic. What it did was made it feel like we were on Melbourne Demons turf, not just at the MCG. There mustn't have been many posters on here at that game, because from where I was sitting, everyone loved it.

Keep the bugle boy and his velvet jacket. Brian Taylor loved it on Fox, and good on the MFC for trying to get the crowd involved and making the opposition know that they are not only against 22 players, but the thousands of supporters that are in the stands.

Yeah i don't know... i sit on the second level in the southern stand and nobody really seems to enjoy it too much up there, just from the amount of groans and rolled eyes that i continually see when he starts. Also, i don't really think it helps that the guy wears a dark red velvet smoking jacket, doesn't really help the image of melbourne supporters all being range rover driving toss pots.

So, in the end not really a fan. Also regarding raising the flag, that should really only be done once at the start of the year. I didn't mind the interview with Robbo though, good to see he still likes the club.

Play the bugle once when we're raising "the grand (new) old flag", we get the team song when they come out and that's enough for me. That second rendition was just sickening to hear, and to be honest ruined a bit of the atmosphere for me, I don't know if it was the trumpeter of the PA system but I hope they take that as a sign.

This is all part of the MFC re-claiming the MCG. The ground is OUR home ground. Not Collingwoods (Eddie refering to it as Magpies Collingwood Ground), not Richmonds, not anyone elses...

Whilst a bit over the top at the moment when we are not overly successful, I want any team that comes to OUR ground to know that they we have the home ground advantage.

Amazing optimism to think any opposition player gives one hundreth of a toss about a flag being hoisted or a trumpet being played.

I like the bugler - once. Doesn't need to be more than that.

I think the flag idea is a bad one though. Especially after Friday night - had no idea what was going on initially (sitting on the other side of the ground) and then once we realised it felt like a knock-off of Collingwood unfortunately.

The flags and such on the Olympic Stand are good too.

Bring back either the reserves game or under 18's match.Or at least play on screen another live match if it is being broadcasted.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
