I’ve been watching tonight’s practice matches and have noticed that the music blaring after goals has returned. I absolutely hate it. The MCG did away with it, but then it started to creep back at the end of last year. Are we stuck with this [censored] now? It’s so unnecessary. Adds nothing to the game. Our crowds generate the atmosphere. Get rid of it. It’s garbage

There’s no place for music during matches. You don’t go to concerts expecting to be shown little clips of footy in between songs.

Related: how good is it to watch Geelong getting done right now! 🥳

Yeah if I wanted music I'd go and see one of these hippy hop shows with Snoop Doggy Dogg

Absolute rubbish.   If Gil is trying to alienate fans than by all means blare music, have loud PA trivia during breaks and promote betting advertising, and political and pseudo political causes …. and of course an odd number of teams in the competition would be the final nail in the coffin.

How about just playing footy and let the crowd make the noise as appropriate.

Can we do away with that hells Bells pre grand old flag song while we're at it? Doesn't fit the vibe at all and the transition into our song sounds jarring. And in that moment i miss the 90s 😂

Seems more like the entrance music for the Undertaker wrestler

Sorry (To Jonesy I guess?)

There was that one time the MSO Performed a musical accompaniment to the 2010 Draw lol

"For one day in September, the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra will play an originally composed soundtrack by Tamil Rogeon against vision of the most infamous draw in Toyota AFL Grand Final history.

 

Arts Centre Melbourne will join forces with the AFL and the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra to present The Draw: A Symphony – a live orchestrated screening of memorable moments of the 2010 drawn Toyota AFL Grand Final between Collingwood and St Kilda.

 

Most people – football aficionados and dilettantes alike – will remember where they were the year the nail biting AFL Grand Final day draw played out. The Draw will showcase a specifically edited replay of the match, projected in the MCG of the performing arts, Hamer Hall, while the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra perform a commissioned score by Tamil Rogeon (RAAH Project, True Live), highlighting every dramatic leap, bound, touch and goal.

 

Tamil is a composer, violinist, producer and a current Honorary Fellow of Melbourne University’s school of contemporary music. His work for The Draw will focus on athletic feats and failures as well as moments of tension, and even humour, throughout the game. Star players will have motifs and storylines and snippets of broadcast commentary and crowd noise will also be used to dramatise the narrative.

 

It will be a truly unique fusion of gutsy football and dazzling classical music in Arts Centre Melbourne’s stunning Hamer Hall; not just a work for lovers of modern orchestral music but also for football fans and of course, those with an appreciation of both."

I literally do not know a single person who likes music being played after goals.

It's the sort of thing that is devised by "consultants" who are tasked with coming up with ideas to get more people to go to the game. It falls within the ridiculous concept of "fan activation". 

Whoever thinks this is a good idea knows nothing about football and knows nothing about what might actually encourage people to go to games.

It was weird last year.

The music went away by the Freo game in round 10, but then somehow came back for our "home game" finals, as if everyone missed it.

I get that we want to model ourselves on the USA for pretty much everything in life, but surely we can maintain a bit of AFL/VFL tradition and do away with the music.

The AFL doesn't care about the traditional fan and know that those of us that go to the footy will continue to do so no matter how many little annoying things they introduce. This is purely for getting new customers, plain and simple.

They haven't done Hells Bells for a couple of years now.  Lately it's been Metalica

I can't stand it either. It is complete nonsense. Wonder how people might react if they played some Wheeler Walker Jr songs ?

Correct.

But have you ever met someone who likes it? Or read an article which suggests there is someone out there who likes it?

Are there actually people out there who go to games because there is music between goals? Or alternatively, are people turning away from football games because there is no music in the 30 seconds between goals?

Well I don't know what the song is called, but I just heard someone say it was hells Bells a long time ago. 

I prefered it when we ran out to either cheers or the grand old flag. Not a song trying to sound scary and foreboding! 

I guess I'm getting old now!

That's right. Haven't heard one person say that this is a great part of the experience and to add another one, no-one who said they used to hate going to the football until they brought in the music.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury.

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
