I had trouble getting into the ground ( tickatek ) and missed the players running on . I saw a message on Demonland today saying Bring Back the Bell . Surely they have not stopped this essential

calling of supporters that OUR team is coming onto the ground !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate unnecessary noise like GOAL ,GOAL ,GOAL  BUT IF it is true it is a threat to civilisation as we know it . Ha ha .

I listen the the AC/DC clip regularly and stop when the singing starts .   I love it and want it louder ( I am 61 ) .

Nothing I could find on google so will relax and find out on Sunday .

Go Dees .

Good question re the bugler . Still trying to think how to smuggle it into the G . Even the smallest bugle does not fit " where the sun don't shine " . Any suggestions 13 ? What do you mean by " pregame that is no longer ?

Does anyone know the answer to the original question ?

Love the enthusiasm Hutchy, but all these threads are the equivalent of a meeting that could have just been an email

I prefer face to face meetings smokey . It will be all over soon and this tread will exorcise Hutchy .

The tread would be much shorter if you all stopped avoiding the question . If you don't know no need to contribute .

Muting me is another option .

With the way we're playing ATM coming out to the pre-game bells would be brilliant.

Not wanting to derail your thread Hutchy... but I’m more interested in the question - How early is too early to sing the song (our song, A Grand Old Flag)?

I sit with a rabid singer, and we love going early when we’re up in the last with a Chorus or two of it’s a grand ol flag, to bring the boys home with. But some, MFC supporters around us will look at us like we’re insane, inviting defeat or embarrassing ourselves (all valid possibilities). Sometimes others join in, and it feels really good...

in as far as singing traditions to be established, this “the early singing of the club song” gets my vote.

thoughts?

Never ever too early IMO

But the best time to start is when the opposition  supporters start leaving for the early tram. They know when its a lost cause.

So take your que from them. You gotta love it!!

It would appear that Hutchy’s raising of this question has doomed the bell. That would make him figuratively the bell’s end.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9.
