Tigers, horses and Braithwaite to pump up the 'G

RICHMOND has upped the ante with its match-day entertainment in 2016 and will use a parade of horses to launch the new season on Thursday night.
The Tigers are hosting the first game of the year against Carlton at the MCG and have planned their pre-game entertainment around Daryl Braithwaite's hit song Horses.
The song has been a feature of Hawthorn's post-match celebrations in recent years with the Hawks revealing last season they sing it after a really good interstate win.
Braithwaite will perform the song on the MCG stage as four horses do a lap of the ground.
It's a package that might remind fans of the Brisbane Lions' dumped idea to use a live lion during their pre-game entertainment in 2014.
The horses theme will continue at quarter time breaks, with crowd karaoke to Braithwaite's song, and again at half-time with a lip-sync battle on stage.

Geeze. If that doesn't get the boys up and about, nothing will......
Such a powerful piece of music.
:facepalm
-
I would have preferred LRB's (Farnham version) Playing to win! ;D
-
Are we the Richmond Broncos now? Because our tackling would suggest otherwise....
-
Just.... :chuck
-
Horses safer than having live Tigers running around the G
Could they paint the horses with yellow and black stripes so it feels more authentic.

who comes up with poo?
A gay version of homer simspon?

Geez I hope they're not planning to make this our answer to "Never Tear Us Apart"....would be just wrong on so many levels....

Just.... :chuck
The worst song ever and what a rank decision! Will need to time my way into the ground so I can miss this over the hill performer. Great way to throw away 10k :banghead

Gen y idiot sitting in marketing meeting.
This club has NFI.

I absolutely hate that song. I don't understand this decision at all. Bunch of wannabe sissys in administration at the club seriously!
How about this instead?

Pump up the crowd with.
"That's the way it's gonna be, little darlin'"
AND THEN -
Keep it going at all the breaks!!.....with four stuffn horses doing laps and crapping on the boundary.
Seriously, go stuff yourselves, RIchmond.

:facepalm
-
Perhaps a little, "Moonlight Sonata" during the quarters???
-
Is there anything we wont steal from Hawthorn ?
Why can't it be their coach?

Is there anything we wont steal from Hawthorn ?
How about Hodge in 2 years as coach! :whistle

It's a sponsor's idea :-\.
----------------------------------------------
Tigers CEO Brendon Gale confirmed today the move is linked to a marketing campaign by insurance agency Bingle — there is a Bingle billboard outside Punt Rd that shows Richmond players riding horses, but that seems unlikely before the first game of the season.
The Richmond plan hasn’t been well received by fans so far.

Shakes head and looks for a dark corner to hide.
How embarisment.
-
Brings a new low to Entertainment.
-
Where's the "gun to the head" emoji when you need it.
-
We almost deserve to lose now ( almost) for subjecting the faithful to Daryl + horses
-
I couldn't give a poo so long as we hear our club song after the game.

:lol exactly

Really surprised that no one twigged this was sponsor driven until the club said something
Facts are
Bingle are our co-major sponsor
They kick in over a milliom bucks a year
Its their current marketing campaign. Hasn't anyone seen the TV commercials?
If this "entertainment" means we keep said sponsor very happy; read they renew their generous sponsorship then go for it.
It's part of the unavoidable business of footy

If they start doing flash mobs i'll follow the A-league

Stop being a corporate shill.
Want the supporters to start holding up Bingle placards and waving Jeep flags like the West Coast Whoppers & Camry Crows fans as well?

Spot on .
We are devoid of original ideas and completely reactive

Early 90s Baby boomer rubbish mentality. Still browning the mid 2010s
'Oh it will be fantastic Neville. We weren't going to go but let's drive the Burgundy Territory into the G and have a ball. I hear Kate Cebrano will be there too".
"Oh she's just fantastic Jenny. And so is that new artist...what's her name? Delta?"
"Oh she's just fantastic Neville. I mean, she can't dance and that's why she astral plains in every music video, but she's just so talented"

Oh cmon WP. Your view on this arguably jeopardises the integrity of the debate.
If it's so unavoidable why do other teams major sponsor (let alone co-major sponsor) refrain from making their sponsored team look like a bunch of stuffing dickwads?
It's so obvious to rank and file supporters it's embarrassing.
It actually damages the brand of the club. Eff their sponsorship to the stuffing tip.
-
How did they come to choose this song , the crowd won't sing along . Would be more chance stirrings the crowd up with a good old slim dusty Diddy. Now that would be something, :clapping
-
Oh stuff what a joke
coaches choice??
-
Some suck holes choice

How does me having a different opinion and refusing to bag the club on this "jeopardise the integrity of the debate"?
Never said it was great idea, just dont get the angst. I am more interested in who debuts in round 1, how we play. Not the slightest bit interested in the entertainment .
All major sponsor ask their clubs to do things. Head interstate and see what some have had to do
As for saying they should "f" off, hope you've got someome to replace them. It's a tpigh gig gettong sponsors. Good pnes you hold onto
Is there anything the club can do in your eyes /view that you wont bag, be critical or negativity about?
Just seems right now alot of people are whacking for the sake of it. Not quite sure that qualifies as debatong issues

Boot skootin boogie would be a crack up, :lol

Lol at refusing to bag the club being the new catch-all cry of the masses.
Consensus on the thread is this whole sponsor stunt is embarrassingly bad.
Don't confuse the percieved view on negativity with the facts.
Btw check out the astbury and new stadium threads before cherry picking arguments about negativity. Plenty of so called downers saying positive things

Will Henry the Horse dance the waltz? How about some Walruses doing a Dusty impersonation? Goo goo ga joob! ;D

Steady on, i hear that if the horses are successfull we are broking a deal with Melbourne zoo
One week hippoes, then giraffes, elephants, with rolf harris singing Jake the peg?
:shh :lol :lol

Please.... I whack the club but not for the sake of it. If they deserve a whack I give them out

Take it you missed the bit where I clearly said "never said it was a good idea" and that "not the slightest bit interested in the entertainment" so please don't get to selective in the "facts" you choose to attribute to me
I think the whole thing is stupid but the counter argument is as a major sponsors who pour millions into the club, millions that are incredibly important want to promote their brand. And like it or not part of the Club's job in accepting those millions is to assist in promoting said brand.
Really who cares, no one will paying attention, so who really cares. Unless of course you intend to be watching an paying attention just so you can go whackety, whack whack ;D
Btw check out the astbury and new stadium threads before cherry picking arguments about negativity. Plenty of so called downers saying positive things
Noticed that and it's great to see, 2 threads a great cross section out of what 15 odd current threads ;D :rollin
And BTW thanks for not actually directly answering the question I asked you
-
Bollocks, pouring heaps of money in doesnt give the sponsor the ability to force the club to do things they dont agree to.
It doesnt give them control over the club and it's decision making
-
rolf harris singing Jake the peg?
:shh :lol :lol
"Hey there little girl wanna touch me extra leg?" :whistle :police:
-
Just no, other clubs don't succumb to the rubbish to this level.
Really sickening, won't be there until 7:15 faking rubbish!
-
I love retro music but this is actually a lame song, it would be more stirring stuff to have an elvis or beatles tribute band and im serious :o. my worry is this will go down like a lead balloon :pray
-
It is without doubt an incredibly stupid decision.
-
If I may.
The poster of the players on horseback indicates that there is no class whatsoever amongst those who both made the decision to implement the advertising and those who agreed to it.
Bingle should shoot their marketing director.
RIchmond should get some pride.
It's a football club.
Who proposes a team base their pre match build up on such gay abandon ?
It defames the players and the clubs culture. (Lol)
I'm not surprised, however, that the club has just bent over and said yes to such an insipid campaign.
Both parties are to blame.
It's just another example of Richmond happily conducting corporate deals and mouthing propositions of 40,000 seat arenas.
Such a shame they can't suceed on the field or between their ears.
-
It gets worse every year.
-
If we were going to be riding white horses we should've recruited Crowley.....
-
:lol
-
That poster really does look like it has more to with the Gay Mardi Gras than Australian Rules Football

And BTW thanks for not actually directly answering the question I asked you
I'll answer your direct question - what was it amongst the noise? ;D I'll delve back in a second.
In the meantime your comment re 2/15 positive threads, I'm not sure where the 2 or the 15 comes from. I gave 2 as an example. I believe there are other positive threads. For example, my thread on Chol, the thread on Rioli. And many more.
How many people on this site start positive threads? I'd be up there.
Maybe it's 4/15. Maybe it's 7/10. Irrespective that's free speech -debate the merits of the argument rather 'whacking for the sake of it' which cheapens the integrity of the debate.
-
Ok I think the question was 'how does having a different opinion insult the integrity of the debate'. Please correct me if I'm wrong
a different opinion in principle is good because it fosters consideration of opinions. Diversity of argument is a good thing. More importantly, the merits of an argument are imperative.
In this instance the consensus is this is an embarrassing idea. Imho the merits are clear. The premise of your argument is your not a massive fan but do it for the sponsors, which is, in my opinion, an embarrassing cheapening of our club brand and others would obviously agree.
But obviously we all have a different perspective and for the record that is not unhealthy.
-
dooks is just really negative and is holding this forum back right now. come on bro, you're better than this.

No that wasn't the question
On your point about cheapening the clubs brand. How can it when on the night no one is going to be interested in it?
What about the other cringe worthy sponsor driven promos that go on at games eg the Decor one where they want to see couples kissing on the big screen?
Haven't heard any carry on about those cheapening the clubs brand
Bollocks, pouring heaps of money in doesnt give the sponsor the ability to force the club to do things they dont agree to.
It doesnt give them control over the club and it's decision making
"Forced"? Never said they were forced. As part of any sponsorship deal clubs help promote the sponsors brand. This isnt anything new
So I Don't think they have forced anything I think it is fair to say the club has actually agreed to assist their sponsor on this promotion
Whether it's a smart decision is a separate discussion
And just on the ghastly promo pic pf the players on the white horses.
This isn't the first time our players have been used in a bingle promo pic. Didnt anyone see the pic with the chimpanzee? That was up on the big screen last night year at all home games, on a billboard at Punt Road Oval and appeared every week in the footy record. Didn't hear or read anyones angst about that.

WP the whole game is being promoted within the context of this promo. The decor promo is a side issue.
And the integrity of the club matters to us members and supporters no matter who is exposed to it.
I'm not sure how you see otherwise.

Dooks, i think this so called entertainment they are going to be putting on is likely to be shocking to be honest. And the only people who will suffer any brand cheapening will be Bingle. That's their problem and frankly i don't care. I doubt very much any Tiger member or supoorter worth their salt will give a rats about the "show" prematch
I care about this club.
Not disputing for a second that some of the angst has been bought on by people's passion for the club.
but is it the aboslute worst thing that may happen on Thursday night, answer is no. But hopefully it will be ;D

So here's hoping for a 10+goal win :gotigers

Because that was nowhere as gay, nor was it to be associated with an 90's ballad aimed at teenage girls, to be used at the seasons opener in some misguided attempt to inspire. What exactly this is meant to inspire, stuff knows.
an out of date crap song :facepalm
karaoke of above song at the footy :facepalm
lip syncing competition of above song at the footy :facepalm
promotional poster more suited to the Gay Mardi Gras :facepalm
If this is designed to take the attention away from the Hardwick extension it is actually brilliant, because it makes that decision look like a master stroke, otherwise is goes down in history with advertising a deaf convention on the radio as one of the most pox marketing ideas possible

Like the Dreamtime pre match show?
What are you on about?
What does the dreamtime game have to do with this?
I am talking about this game and this game only. Dont for one second even suggest or imply I'm talking about any other game.
And I dont believe that any supporter going to the game on Thursday night is at all interested in this games prematch show. Think there are much more important things that will have peoples interest
Of course they were not forced, that is the point. They agreed to this poo of their own free will, therefore they deserve any stuff, rather than pawning off the "blame" to the sponsors
Not sure when i blamed the sponsors. Have just pointed out that the sponsor who pours millions into the club have had input into this and that it is nothing new and it happens all the time.
2 partners have made a decision. A bizarre one, I'll grant you that. But one IMESHO is not the most important thing about round 1 of the H&A season.
Do i like what theyve cooked up? No.
Am I up in arms over it? No.
Why? Because they only thing thst is remotely important to me about Thursday night is bloody winning the game because that's just a tad more important to me than some has been singer belting out a song to promote an insurance company.

Lots of hysteria for a fluff piece which is designed to help out a major sponsor.
