I noticed there was no bugular today. I doubt he was having a week off. Has he gone with Cameron. Maybe they had been trying to get rid of him and cameron demanded he stay.

I must say no one noticed around me that he wasnt here so he wasnt missed to much.

It was good just to have a team run out to the song and thats it.

What was going on when we ran out onto the ground? What was playing? The song didn't start until after we were through the banner.

Oh yeah, I did not to ice cos I got int the round right as they teams were coming out.

"Enter Sandman" was still playing as the team was hovering in front of the banner.

Honestly I don't know why we need a song to "run out to" as it takes 10 seconds to run up the players race to the boundary.

It should just be Grand Old Flag loud and several times over.

And isn't it obvious? The bugler has been fired.... out of a cannon... into the Yarra.

Is this that thing they were talking about over the summer, about having some song playing as we run out?

I hate it. I hate it more than the bugler. Get rid of it.

Why does this club continually think it needs to try these pathetic attempts at being 'cool'? The bugler, the 'Grand New Flag', the bagpipers, Nick McCallum's talks before the game, now this song crap.

Robbo seems to do OK on game day though. I think he has found his niche as King of the Kids.

I think Robbo has replaced Nick McCullum. I didnt even notice the song we ran out to. Oh well. I wonder if that was Peter Spargos first thing he thought of. Remove the bugular.

Great success.

I have it on good authority that the bugler turned up sporting a beard (at least it was a 3-4 day growth) and the acting CEO took one look and sent him home.

Good one Jack, I suppose we will announce a new sponsor next week GILLETT the makers of cut throat razors

the blower has returned to the luey armstrong school and currently learning the last post.

Finally...
I JUST KNEW IT WAS CAMERON SCHWAB BEHIND ALL THAT CRAP! (though the bugler was introduced before he came back wasn't he?)

I've never seen Cameron Schwab and the bugler in the same room....Not saying anything, but food for thought.

good riddance.
poxy poxy poxy poxy poxy

Tell him to practice out at the Whitten Oval, they love playing Dirges over there.

Have to admit it was good to hear the Buglar pipe up from the second tier with around a minute to go today. I had a smile

Probably the best use for him, rather than before the game, could be a bit like Joffa's jacket...

Was a nice bit of arrogance

Yep. Only boast when you're certain it can't come back and bite you in your bugular.

I'm still don't like it but if he is a private citizen in the stands doing it, who cares? I was just against him doing it on the ground before the boys ran out. I agree with Stuie. It could be a bit like Joffa's jacket. Wheel it out when we win.

My brother tells me that the bugler was playing at every station along the dandenong line before the game. Not sure if it was official or he was doing it as Joe Citizen.

It works a lot better when the siren's about to go and we're going to win.

If I ever hear it in a close game where we might lose, I'll scream, though.

Must have been official as he was on the train with the mascot and Dees staff.

My favourite Joffa moment is ANZAC day 2009.

Joffa dons the jacket with the Pies about 16 up 26 minutes in.

5 minutes later...
