We have a lot more serious issues to worry about than the bugler.This club has a reputation as being snobby and elitist but the reality is that the Melbourne Football Club has a very broad and varied fanbase.However i love it when we play up to that elitist image by bringing out the bugler with the smoking jacket.If it enrages the likes of Joffa and the rest of the Collingwood cheer squad then the man is doing his job!I just wish the players and coaching staff at this club would start doing likewise.

We have been shite ever since that ponce turned up on the scene. Who's with me?

It's obviously got nothing at all to do with our on-field performance. Nothing at all. However, it's embarrassing, unnecessary, and we just don't need more reasons for people to make fun of us.

More like "Ban the mindset that thinks the bugler is a good idea."

Fellas:

I post a fair bit at BF, and started this about the very issue last week.

http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/get-rid-of-the-melbourne-fc-bugler/

Sign it, we want 100 signatures at least before we go to the club.

Either he plays before the boys come out, or he doesn't play at all.

Jazzed it up spectacularly again this weekend.

We're half way there with the signatures, 50 more!

I agree, but he needs to be doing it before the players come out.

Is this the Bugler, at about 50 seconds in.

Buy him a horse & send him home.

Bloody hell. That should be the pre match entertainment right there. Start a fox hunt out on the ground before the opening bounce. Set the fox free an hour before the bounce and the blokes on horses set off from the center square just before the match starts. If we want to look like snobby, elitist bell ends, we may as well go the full nine yards. We could even run a scoreboard competition for the fan who lets out the heartiest 'Tally ho lads!' as the horses trot off. Prizes would include snifters of port, exotic cigarettes with Burgess Meredith/Penguin style cigarette holders and if you are lucky, a private school blazer complete with straw hat and knee high socks.

Sorry, I know I'm just venting now. I'm hating the club right now. I hope I can get my love for it back.

You're dreaming Irish. No-one's enraged. They are just laughing at us.

Before a ball is bounced

Get rid of him. Nothing against the bloke but the concept sucks. And the OP is right, we've been shite ever since we trotted him out. While no-one suggests the bugler is the cause, he is synonymous with our shiteness

No, this is where you & the MFC are wrong, IMO.

who cares about stirring the opposition, with a stupid bugler in a jacket, playing "oh oh razzmatazz", to the MCC !

the problem is its 'turning off' much more peope who'd like to support the club including members,,, or past members.

I can't help it myself, I just Hate it !

IT IS Not, what I want the club to be... and I scratch my head & cringe, thinking this isn't my club... its another nail in the coffin, of how I for One, feel about the club.

Please, get rid of him, out onto the outside boardwalk.

Agree 100%, but the idea of him playing Uh oh razzamattaz amuses me.

I love the buglar. He should be a symbol of the fact that we don't care what anyone thinks. F everyone, if we want a buglar we'll have one.

FFS we have got to stand up for whatever we believe in - buglars, colours, grounds - you get the picture. Otherwise they'll wipe the floor with us.

I'm with you, BBO. Put a decent beard on the bugler, and all would be well. He could be the 'Bearded Demon bugle boy who pumps up the Dees' :)

Maybe he needs a few alpacas out there with him? :blink:

I'm not a big one for bumping threads but I thought I would show the world what most people think of the bugler. He doesn't enrage the opposition supporters, he makes them laugh.

trouble is he's Not adding a bloody thing, but he's detracting from the day & turning people off going to the games.

If he's employed by the MCC, then we should play something to drown him out.

I say keep the buglar. If anything we need to give him more prominance on match day!

He'll be the making of this club if only we could parade him on a float so eveyone gets to see that amazing jacket and hear his amazing tones. Tut tut and tally ho chaps, an amazing cultural heritage before every home game what!

BTW, does anyone know what the fine might be for throwing eggs and tomatoes at someone on the hallowed MCG turf? Good therapy for every frustrated Demon supporter!

can he dance?

Maybe he can play this as our boys get the tops off for their Pre game warmup ?

Well McLardy said everyone's position is under the microscope, perhaps the Bugler could be next!

    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

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
