Oh no, I don't know what this is referring to and it scares me.

What happened?

Just when you thought our pre-game couldn't get any worse we had a marching band play the club song then the stupid trumpet guy as well.

    This song means nothing to me.

    I cant wait for the day that this music really does die .

    Corny ,crappy, Middle of road nonsense.

    I would have killed someone if they played that song before the game .

    It's like the Afl have it in for me .

    Marching band was god awful! That guy with the stick at the front has the easiest job going around. Do the powers that be not understand we are at the footy and myself and a lot of others are eating pies and drinking beer? You think about it, you are having some drinks with ya mates at home or at a pub and after a few one of ya mates says "Hey lads you wanna check out that marching band and then swing over and see a trumpet player?" Pffffft!

    Damn straight CFH would rather a dodgy cover band belting out Walk or 5 Minutes Alone might scare the little kiddies who were brought up on Backstreet Boys though ;)

    Thank god they didn't actually start marching. When I saw them defiling the hallowed turf, I said to my grandpa that "if they start parading around the MCG like some American highscool band club, I might just end it right then and there."

    Be thankful you are not at somewhere like Metrocom where Dr. Evil plays high volume rock-n-roll constantly.

    it just gets worse and worse...my brother and i were praying it was an AFL and not melbourne initiative...

    Thank god i was out the back of the Blazer bar and missed it. Just got to see the trumpeter on the way back to the seats. Still cringeworthy when it's set up out the front of the members. Better when it's played from within the crowd, but will be much better still when the player wears a grunge t-shirt rather than a velvet jacket.

    Haha!! Marching Bands were common place in the 60's & 70's.

    Took me back to those days. Was it good entertainment? Meh..

    Just goes to show that being traditional is sometimes a very bad idea.

    Why is this happening in this day and age?

    Another terrible pre match 'initiative'.

    I would love some Pantera when the lads run onto the G. Or to keep it modern some Machine Head would make my day. But you are right there are way too many of the backstreet boys floating around. I grew up with Pantera and Sepultura and turned out fine but I have to go now my chicken's head isn't going to be ripped off by itself and I must pen my 80th Kill your grandma song.

    I didn't go today so Ii missed that.

    If they keep tormenting us fans with this crap solo wind instrument at games, I won't renew my membership.

    I'm so [censored] off with this pandering to the svelt cloth, I'm over it. Rubbish in velvet.

    Look after your fans in the outer.

    Apparently the cheer squad was going to knit our banner in a tartan crochet as well but canned the idea when they feared our players would struggle to negotiate it.

  • Quote

    Unbelievable.

    Does the club know how much we hate the trumpeter? Surely they do. It's cringeworthy, embarrassing, downright stupid, and just disliked generally. Get rid of it.

    A marching band is just pathetic.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
