i thought that guy was a legend and was hoping that he would play again when the players took the feild for the 3rd quarter.

it was a great moment he started playing the song and slowing people started to clap to it and then at the end of it a cheer went up! i thought it was great :)

also i thought all the supporters who were there today tried to make some noise to lift the team and that was great!

    There are a trumpet and saxophone player that play at all MCG and Telstra Dome games. Before the game, they continuously swap between the two teams theme songs that are about to play, and at the end of the game, they're just playing the theme song of the team that one. I've never given them a cent, but they do add a certain 'colour' to the whole entering the ground experience. So they're not strictly Melbourne people. As for the trumpet guy, I don't mind him. It may get a bit tired by round 22, but for now he's OK...

    A bit harsh there mate.

    All he was doing was providing a bit of light entertainment.

    And at least you could hear his trumpet...unlike the apalling MCG PA system that was on display yesterday.

    The trumpet guy was terrific! He really got me going for a game I was going to be utterly indifferent about, considering our season and chances.

    The key is for him to only play it about a further four times this year so we don't get sick of it. Surprise us with it once in a while to keep the crowd appreciation on a high.

    The trumpet segment worked much better this week than last week's overly scrpited rendition on the ground.

    The trumpet man got me really fired up and that rush was well amplified by Davey running on and kicking a goal.

    I think that as long as the trumpet man stands in the stands and plays the song just as the boys coming running out, it will work. Well, for me at least.

    I hope the club peserveres with the trumpet man.

    I would imagine that as he keeps on trumpeting, it is really going to irk the opposition supporters - bring it on!!!!!!

    I thought it was awesome

    A great instrument, and a great tune!

    I thought it added to the atmosphere, and considering how little there was, we needed every bit of it. It also got the crowd more fired up, at least it did for me.

    Go the trumpet man.

    Just like the English trumpter who played here last summer. Certainly provided atmosphere even though england lost. So keep playing trumpet man and do not let officals try to get you out.

    Absolutely agree. No need to over do it. Hopefully he is about when we are marching into the finals. Then it will be fantastic.

    He should definitely play Queens Birthdays, that would be friggen awesome. Hopefully this will become a thing for the MFC, a way of uniting the fans.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

      Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.
