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.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
