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 .

    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.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
