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.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    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.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    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
