Some crap from that halfwitted twat Joffa is wanking on about.The guy is surely not playing with a full deck.Just look at his sidekicks - Lardarse [big fatarse that's always beside him and hurling abuse while trying not to fall over the fence] and Spitz [check the thread in Bay 13].

They're just trying to get the slow chant going. It's just one of those things in AFL footy, compared to say, Premier League. We're quiet the whole game and then sing at the end :D
The red flag is just to co-ordinate it all, get the chant going, I don't think it's anything to do with "reclaiming our home ground" as it isn't even our home game!
Take everything Joffa says with several pinches of salt, the rest of us sure do. :)
Sounds intimidating. :rolleyes:

It did sound pretty good in the final against Port a couple of years ago, but it's not going to give you nightmares. :rolleyes:
They tried the white flag the year FIGJAM used Lingy's jumper. Was a great success that day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Red flags, gold jackets. They're looking more like a gay pride march than a football crowd...............Not that there's anything wrong with that of course.

Collingwood are thinking that they'll have at least a 1-2 ratio of supporters. I am expecting a fairly good Geelong turn out though... We might possibly drown them out when they start singing gay songs in their gold jackets.

What the idiots haven't realised is that it's a Geelong home game, they have that part figured out, but every feral that turns up puts more money in the GFC coffers.....

It would be interesting to see what the financial impact would be, if Collingwood supporters only attended home games for a season.

No, that was genuine contemplation. If all teams did that for a whole season, obviously the impact would be exponentially larger.
Meh.. let them pour in to the game..
It's great for us financially :thumbsu:
Very much looking forward to this game. Should be great fun to kick back and watch!

The very articulate Joffa posted this on Nick's Collingwood Bulletin board:
The red Flag are we committed to the Geelong game:
In answer to the Pussies calling for a call of arms to out noise the Magpie Army....obviously worrying days ahead for the Handbaggers...the pies are the hottest ticket in town and they know it!
If i was to bring the Red Flag will it rally the Magpie Army behind the cause, or will the Ponsford stand just look on?
Will i at my expense print hundreds of flyers and give them out right throughout the Ponsford Stand before the game ?
Are we able to produce this chant like never before ?
Are you able to help with your own flyers to distribute in the area where you are sitting..and wait and be ready for the Red Flag ?
Can we as an online community come together and help out with the preparation and more importantly the delivery of the long slow collingwood chant ?
What can you do to help ?
Do you believe that if we can get this right it will echo around the concrete stands of the MCG in a show of love and support to the Collingwood Football Club ?
Do you believe ?
Because if you do to all the above i will get straight to work but it has to be an equal effort by many others !
I will await for the response !
I have the huge Red Flag it will be seen by all corners of the 'G ' no matter where you are seated!
Shall i dust it down ?
Look out for these flyers too:

It's a pity most the Pies faithful will be outside the ground beating up on fast food vendors by the time the Red Flag is unfurled. :p:thumbsu:
Any truth to the rumour it was actually a white flag before Buckley got to it?

I honestly think, generally speaking, it would be cool if more AFL clubs had supporters doing chants during games, a la Premier League.

There is definitely the numbers for it, but it just doesn't seem in the culture, hopefully we see more of this and other clubs cheer squads + other supporters start to mimic European clubs chants/songs.....i think the Melbourne Victory really show how it should be done and they will only get bigger (and louder).

In european soccer (football) games they have the advantage of the crowd being sectioned off by supporter groups. It kinda encourages the fans of one team, all in one stand, to chant and sing etc. together.

although, it would be nice hear something other than "Geelong" *clap clap clap*. Any chance the Cats cheer squad can come up with something a little different?

So they need to be told when to speak :eek:
Oh this is too funny. Geelong fans acting like a Collingwood crowd doesn't make noise, and has no impact. My god....
And it is not being done for the first time, it was done back in our grand final years. Nothing ever like it, the 03 prelim final.... made Port Adelaide shudder with fear.

Plus the crowds in Soccer tend to be from a particular section of scoiety, eg male and generally not too old. AFL gets a much wider section of the community attending. And there is usually not so much happening in the soccer.

I've noticed the difference at K-park since all the seating has been put in. The crowd used to get very vocal especially in a close game especially in the last quarter. I sit in the Eastern Stand and marvel that everyone now seems to be a passive observer now. It adds to the atmosphere if the crowd gets vocal. Of course when I was I my 20's there were no grog limits and that helped to get supporters cheering going. At the samer time the footy is a lot more pleasant environment to take the missus and kids these days

To be honest you really should have beaten us by more, our backline is out injured and our forwards (except trav) played shit.
btw the people in this thread amaze me with the attack on Collingwood supporters for wanting to support our team, why is it a bad thing? and now after you have won you come back to this thread and start bagging us again. Get over it it was just something that will be done if we are winning to show our support for the team. It wasn't done today as we didnt have the lead in the final quater and it would be stupid to do it when we wont win.

Not saying I agree with the analysis of your supporter base (I think you left out 'scum' :) ) but yes it's our board to post whatever we feel like.
It's really no concern of yours.
Move on the the collingwood board if it is causing you angst. No one will be saying anything negative about collingwood supporters there.

I looked around there this morning. Could literally feel my IQ dropping just reading that drivel. If I stayed any longer I'm sure I'd be uttering monosyllablistic words and dragging my knuckles along the ground by now.
I just realised why there's so many trees in the MCG car park. It isn't for shade, it's so Collingwood supporters could enter the ground...the bunch of tree swingers!
