It's Time!

Cost too much. HBO decided to make Rome instead.

I like Deadwood being unfinished. It is a town you visit then leave.

Was it the writers strike they had over there?

Can you imagine if Jay clarke and Jon Ralph went on strike-I think the world would still turn.

Assembling the Deadwood cast was apparently a nightmare. Watch the wide shots...so much stuff is going on!!

A fourth series just wasn't feasable.

The Bugler is cool.

I Wanna buy his mix-tapes.

I want it as my ringtone

when we win matches he should join the boys in the room and play while they sing the song.

He should play at the grand final this year (no-one on here can argue that he would be worse than what the loaf put up last year)

He rocks the kazbah

But we missed out on some cool stuff that could have happened in the next season, like the showdown of Al and Hearst and the arrival of a young Teddy Rosevelt.

There is so much wrong with this thread its ridiculous, I like the Bugler.

First off, there are at least 3 different people who do the bugling....

Second, to those criticising the performance I think all 3 play well, with good intonation and rhythm with a nice tone, all you keyboard heroes might want to try playing with a single mic in the middle of the MCG without being able to properly hear yourself while the music echoes out of the speakers around the ground with various delays.

Thirdly, we follow a sport where all teams run out to show tunes, spirituals and stolen national anthems with ridiculous lyrics and smash through crepe paper and you're challenging the solo call of a trumpet! In case you weren't aware, when armies went to battle they usually had a trumpet and a snare drum, not a 1850's American folk tune jazzed up to sound like a show tune from a 60s musical (I love our song but seriously get your hand off it!) and they never, ever ran through some crepe paper!

Fourth, Enter Sandman is a song about sleep and death, you seriously want to encourage our players to be more disinterested than they already are, also not all footy supporters love rock and roll, the footy supporters all being rock and roll loving pub junkies stereotype is far from accurate, there are families and many people of different backgrounds with diverse interests, Enter Sandman is not our team song.

Lastly, at a time where the standard for footy entertainment is Meatloaf the bugler is a welcome relief!

Its a point of difference, its our club song that we all love, and its a bit of fun, if you want to hate something have a look at the standard of football we put out, not the pre-game entertainment.

I'm pretty sure everyone here accept we're crap on field too.

The bugler is embarrassing. I actually get embarrassed when I got to MFC home games with friends from other clubs. It's pointless and unnecessary and is more embarrassing than it is uplifting or spiritual or anything important.

[deejammin' 2,082]

You find our team song embarassing? Do you find the trumpet embarassing in all situations or just when it plays our tune? Seriously mate, Freo's song is embarassing, but there was a good chunk of the MCG belting it out last night.

There were originally supposed to be 5 series of Rome, but it cost so much they cut it after two. (Which explains the silly manufactured ending to series two after so much effort was put into getting it right. Mind you, I still loved Rome.)

Yes we did, but to me it was like i lived in Deadwood for 6-12 months. Caught the train and never went back....

There are some towns around Ballarat that have the same feel.

Melbourne and Ballarat in the 1850s wouldn't be too much different to Deadwood.

Thieves ,Whores ,Murderers and Drunks.

and thats just my Mothers side of the family.

Yes my Grandma was from Ballarat. Very close to the Deadwood. Gold towns just evolved. The chinese were there to. The sniff of gold.

quote '"titan-uranus"

i thought this was a no brainer !! obviously so..

THE " MMM" COMMENTARY team of dunstall & brayshaw had a day out on one G LYON when they heard it ;

and i quote;

Say it isn't so "gas" "OH NO" "OH NO" laughed for what seemed ages..

gas;, meekly replied " what's wrong with that "( obvious embarrassment & humiliation.).

& i might say speaking with some players ,who think "ditto"..

It reminds me of a skit by the "Monty Python" boys.

where they had a race for upper class TWITS,lge over bites, cross eyed, all decked out with bowlers,umbrellas & 3 piece suits running with knees together on the sides of their feet, all over the place..in circles( the players ?)..

an absolute crack up..

the supporters of these ideas ( all be it well intentioned ) JUST DON'T GET IT .!!

it is ridiculous & not well thought out, considering this is a " FOOTBALL CLUB" not a croquet club..

& cam schwabb is trying to ride the "pretentious"establishment gravy train.

young immature players DO NOT buy into such culture & never will.

they buy into a "boys & mates roughhouse culture "& respect for a strong discipline..

it is a FOOTBALL CLUB for crying out loud..

browsing through these posts,it is clear that the MAJORITY don't like the idea..& players don't either..!

as for putting some kind of fear into the opposition teams & supporters.

CRIKEY , GIVE ME A BREAK !!!

games r played between the ears.& as such..

it makes us look like easy beats & we don't disappoint...

p;s

as for the jackets ,they should be handed out to the older premiership winning players..!!

& or B&F WINNERS ONLY !!!!

Who appreciated them ..

not to the jurrah's ( who looked very sheepish )& cooks of this club..!!!!

When did I say I found our song embarrassing? Oh, that's right, I didn't.

I love our song. To me, it's clearly top 3 (with Richmond and Sydney). I love it, I sing it before each game and after each win.

I never said I found it embarrassing, I said I found the bugler playing it embarrassing, which you failed to comprehend.

Still currently in the Rat. The rogues from previous eras have been replaced however with a newer more sinister breed!

[dee-luded 2,958]

HE SUCKS FULL STOP.

Blowin's not workin for 'im. That's for sure.

I'd like to see Willy Wilde & friends do something @ Melbourne home games pre match, to warm up the Inner Spirit.

Not Trumpet players surely?

[waikikkamukau 62]

I am pro-Bugler.

Embrace the stereo-type.

Absolutely, he should be driven around the G playing his bugle through the sunroof of a Rangie!

Should be driven around the ground, then straight out the door and into the Yarra.

LoL, :) :) :) 4WD an' all.

Then a re-entry of It's a 'Grand Ol' Flag', played in a Buster Fitzgibbon style, in an open air Opel car.

I think if we are going to that extreme, we should get the bloke in the top hat from the front of the Monopoly box to drive around the 'G in the little silver car.

Can we get a Smoking Jacket section of the MCG opened up.

Hopefully up high in the stands-so we can look down on people.

Similiar to The Smoking Room at the Bangkok Airport?

That was an experience!

You get a free pack of secondary smoke with each smoke in there .

No charge .

I like the rooftop bar in Changhi Airport personally .

There is a series/film just crying out to be made about the Australian gold rush. In many ways, it was more extreme, given just how isolated Australia was at the time (and perhaps still is).
