OK - it’s time.
i‘m old enough to remember those magic days at Glenferrie when, amongst the cheer squad in the stand, we had a bugler and a bugle. At various times during the game he would blow his bugle which would cause an eruption (no sexual connotation intended) with the cheer squad, in response, launching into a chant which was echoed through the ground.
It‘s time for us to trade-mark that bugle - bring it to the MCG !!
Imagine if there’re 40,000 Hawk supporters at the G and the bugle sounds a war cry from the Shane Warne Stand!
Causing a chant around the ground. We need to galvanise our supporters, especially now, and especially our junior members.
Other clubs have their “trade-marked” call signs. The Tigers have the beating drums and the Tiger roar. Essendon has the dreadful bomber sound.
The Bullies have the barking bulldog.
Even Geelong has something - the shrieking, shrill, female, screamer announcer on Sunday afternoon who breached the peace by waking up every baby within a 2 kilometre radius and who shattered windows as far as Abbotsford.
Can we please find a bugler or trumpeter within our 80,000 supporters?
Quite literally, it could transform - and energise - our supporters at the G.
