Please God do NOT let us follow suit by opening our matches with Chinese opera.

    What screams Richmond more than Daryl Braithwaite's 'Horses'? Probably someone OD'd on horse behind Dimmeys... but let's get back to the entertainment...

     

    The Toigs are going with Daryl Braithwaite's Horses for the season opener. Daz himself will be on stage singing it before the game whilst horses gallop around our hallowed turf, I [censored] you not. 

    But the fun and hijinks don't stop there, there'll also be karaoke cam at quarter and 3 quarter time. To which songs, you might ask, well just the one, Horses. 

    And there'll also be a lip sync battle at half time, if you haven't got enough of Horses yet, it'll be to Horses. 

    I'm not making this [censored] up. Thank you Richmond, I for one, cannot wait. 

    I couldn't hate this song more if I tried! Chuck in John Farnham & Bon Jovi's summer of 69.. 

    I'm glad the Dee's use Hells bells to rev up the team!!

    This is a genuinely awful idea from Richmond, Bingle, the AFL, the MCG and anyone else involved.

    The "match-day experience" is one of the biggest things going wrong with the sport at the moment.

    Obviously Richmond have decided that 25 years after the demise of the "Swagman Restaurant" that the time is right for reviving cabaret entertainment. 

    Cringeworthy really. This will be like Angry Anderson at the the 91 Grand Final which is coincidentally the year the Swagman burnt down.

    An embarrassment for the ages.

    Coup, whilst I agree with your Hell's Bells appraisal, I just have to point out something.  Summer of 69 isn't Bon Jovi.....it is by Bryan Adams.

    Not meaning to be picky, but I think you mean Bryan Adams 'Summer of 69' - but agree that they're all in the one category of music for me.  

    Not sure how much the Tiges would be making from such a venture, but not enough to buy back their dignity.

    Beat me too it Maple,

    Maybe we can do our season opener to an Ozzy or Alice Cooper rendition.  Plenty of pigeons in the local environs.

    I thought 'Coup' was taking the P155...

    I have just finished reading a few articles on this ridiculous start to the season and I am still in shock!

    It is well known that Hawthorn bust out a team rendition of Horses in the change rooms after their AWAY victories and the Feral Sun article has a big picture of DB singing with Clarko and the team after the 2015 premiership.

    What the hell are Richmond thinking?!?! I would be deliberately rolling up late so I missed that crap and then ensuring I am at the bar during the breaks so I don't have to witness the karaoke on the big screen!

    Stealing someone else's song ---- $1,000

    Embarrassing your supporters ---- $500

    Finishing 9th and still being the laughing stock of the comp ---- PRICELESS :cool:

    Cringeworthy and completely tacky. I hate the parading of animals in front of crowds, reminds me of a D-grade circus, quite fitting really.

    Because Demon supporters snapped up all the red and blue ones, of course ... :lol:

    The thinking behind this  is everything that is wrong with footy. 

    Just give us the 2s, a cold pie and some peace and quiet.

    And for god's sake kick the bloody thing!!!

    I would be so worried if i was a tigers supporter, i look at their team and wonder where the next wave is, and their current stars are overrated and not going to get them near a flag so they should worry far more about than then any off field music stuff

    I'm quite comfortable with the idea of Richmond looking like a cringeworthy laughing stock.

    There's already the finals series for that.

    When will the AFL and it's clubs realise that we aren't Americans............We don't need to be entertained every minute of a trip to the footy.

    If I want to listen to a entertainer I will go to a concert........If I want to sing I will go to a karioki bar or have a shower and sing my heart out.

    I hate being yelled at, at the footy with loud adds and latest odds    I can tell the score by just looking at the score board, don't need to be told at the breaks ...I like to read the Record and talk to my family before a game or even better watch the seconds and try to pick out our next big player.

    In a few years I wouldn't be surprised if we all have to stand for the American National anthem.

    The football is all the entertainment I need.

    This marketing stunt is plainly ridiculous.

    However, check out the success of the Big Bash. It was essentially designed by a Yank who'd never seen a game of cricket before.
