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).

Shhhhh...

I'm working on it .

Ya Blinkin Blackguard!

Love the Bugle Boy.

Hate the blazer.

Hate that Bugle Boy only plays to the MCC.

I'm working on my script about the Krakouer family, ingeniously entitled 'Krakouer' (working title, it might not have enough legs for a decent tagline). But if there is ever going to be a decent AFL film made, this will be it (apologies to David Williamson).

The greatest Jewish Aboriginals to ever play the game!!

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.

quote '"deejammin")

Fuschia you are welcome to your opinion as I am welcome to mine, but where in my post did I say that I thought it was spiritual or uplifting? I said it was "a bit of fun" if you are going to quote there is a button for it and you might want to do your research. Also, Dunstall and Brayshaw rib Gary over everything, every year, its what they do, they rib him over crying when he did his knee, yo gabba gabba, the list goes on, those boys would give him grief every time, and I think you are assuming he was embarrassed, I have heard him say he likes it. I hardly think those two (JB and the Chief) should be the standard by which we measure what MFC does, they hate the club. Finally it is not overwhelming in this thread, the count of those who have a clear opinion ( I generally counted those who were sarcastic as against the bugler although its hard to tell) was 15-12 against, hardly overwhelming, the same no. probably want to get rid of Neeld on this board.

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.

Obviously I didn't express myself clearly, and I'm not having a go at you I really like your contribution on this board and find myself agreeing with you 90% of the time. I am sorry that it embarrasses you, but I for one am for live music and establishing club traditions, I do agree with the suggestions that he remove the blazer, go back to playing from the cheer squad and not just for the MCC however. I enjoy it, my parents who often go to the footy enjoy it, my gf enjoys it and my mates don't give me s*&^ about it (swans and hawthorn supporters) so obviously I have a different experience to you.

90% of the time? Really? Didn't think anyone would get past 50%.

Anyway, as for the bugler, I'm not sure how I'd feel with him up in the stands. I think I'd prefer it. More like an Indian T20 match. On the ground, as a thing, with the jacket, and the fanfare, and the attention, is cringeworthy. Almost as bad as when we did that pathetic 'grand old flag' rubbish with Nick McCallum.

I think the Bugler should get his own theme song as he enters the arena and this should be it.

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.

Too busy acting as $cully's accountant

Yes Manila has a full bar in their smoking Room. Excellent idea

Where is ours TED??

The Failu Govt.

Nether mind Ted, what about where our MFC training base & Social Lounge & outdoor smoking area/bar are?

I think we have a Bar, somewhere, or 2, complete with bandits, but No Training venue outside!!!

WHY?

Sweet cream on an ice cream sandwich! I think this thread should become a display at the big museum of Internet SPAM!
