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.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los
