"Hey guys, we're the home team for the opening game of the season, what do you think we should do for a theme?"

"Anything but football!"

"Yeah, definitely don't want to make it too much about football."

"People are already getting football just by turning up, we need to offer something more."

"How about... animals! Animals that like grass, the MCG has lots of grass. Plus, we have to compete with the Sydney Easter Show."

"I know! Horses! it is perfect!"

"And Daryl Braithwaite!"

"..."

"Uh, I guess?"

"I was really hoping for Belinda Carlisle, but ok."

Remember when you went to the footy to talk to your mates?

the worst thing is not the songs in pregame,  or any half-time entertainment...  but to me its the adverticements over the loud speakers during breaks,  when you want some personal time to read,  or chat,  or whatever.    AFL,   stop bombarding us with commercial rubbish,  which we cannot switch off.  This is like torture,  you cannot escape it...  unless you do not attend the game !

Don't know why people are complaining about this promo.  It is an endless gift that enables us to make fun of, and laugh at, the Tiggies.

I believe they are providing a free face tattoo stand for the kids.

Wonderful initiatives by the Tigers.

Braithwaite just keeps on producing hit after hit -sadly the same shyteful  song each time.

I might sell vomit bags at the gate.

Just lucky its not  'the blues'  he's singing for,  the horses might go missing one at a time.  And possibly ending up in someones bed one night,  just to send a  'business as usual'  message .

Actually i wouldn't mind the dees using Horses. In fact i'd love it. However i would use this (how brilliant would it be to hear this blaring over those god awful speakers at the G!):

I remember going to Mass on a Sunday Morning to stand at the back( Outside ish) Recount the game played on Saturday! Any conquests made on Saturday Night and then plan for the pleasant Sunday Morning which could stretch into the afternoon before thinking about the Sandy Drive in on a Sunday Night!  Bitters Man, I know you will Like this!!:wub:

.... being the Lygon St Blues Bros',  & its a horse,  it stands to reason its the fishy end,  Bbo...  the head.

 

if it was say,  the Sainters doin'  the promo,  it would have been pin the tail on the Ass's,  Bbo...  & so,  that would be self X-ploratory...  or so Montagna would say.  Apparently he likes to play blindfolded bedroom fetish's,  in the dark.

 

either way, the idea's a HorsesAss

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. 

Perfect choice for the Tiges and their supporters. They don't cope with change very well. They still have the best song in the Comp and there is something about the hardcore supporters that I admire.

Now upgrading Punt Rd oval is making some sense.   

They need more room to make stables for their horses. The ground gets renamed Punt Rd Stables.

What a F"n" joke, No curtain raiser games, yet Horses get a gig. Spare me!!!

The AFL is fast becoming a bigger circus, we have clowns running the show. May as well have animal acts as well.

great word daisy. I guess I would like to see that level of ferality amongst Melbourne supporters rather than the meek and at times highly critical comments at games when things are not going well . I don't include all those kids who come along and support our team. Like all kids they are beyond reproach.

Just having a closer gig at the handsome blokes in that ad and it's no wonder why they need those horses.

Don't start me on Sandy girls.

Apart from the Mass bit i recall the area fondly.

  As a youth(I digress and apologise in advance)  I recall driving home along the beach road,knocking over cyclists,swerving through the bends of the bay smoking a peter stuyvesant and thinking that nothing could top the night I had spent with the Essendon Chairmans' very welcoming daughter whilst he was asleep in the master bedroom.

Being a gentleman ,I will never reveal names but i assure you my memories of the bayside suburbs are vivid and pleasant .

I have driven through Europe,America and some of the more nefarious parts of the former soviet union (purely trade related) but I have never been more satisfied than that particular morning.

Indeed. Nothing quite as satisfying as a new soft pack of Styvos, melting the plastic, ripping a neat hole in the silver foil and tapping the first smoke from the pack to enjoy.

Horses at footy should be police horses. 

Umpies escort.

Half time chomp on apples from kids leaning over fence as Dad listens to transistor.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
