Opinion Opinions on the cheer squad

Nah, Richo can have the VP.

Duncan has the obvious one - "Oh, we like to get a goal from Duncan"

Jimmeh - I'm tending something from Neil Young - "Look out mama, there's a goal comin' up from 50."

 

[vinum coupe]

hahahahaha Vinum, I was thinking exactly that before.

I think I might put this forward and see what they think... The issue still remains, they need to be fairly simple.

Absolutely.

And that's why I'd start with just 3 custom chants.

Pick 3 who either are known to kick goals (i.e.. Hawkins) or guys that when they kick a goal light up the atmosphere.
Maybe Motlop and SJ for example.

was watching the replay and just caught myself saying "why the **** are they doing oi oi oi chants?
was kinda embarrassing

 

[kicksome]

just do this when hawkins kicks a goal

 

[Hoffy95]

So long as you guys are having fun it's not really hurting anyone.

 

[James1970]

Actually, hearing the Neil Young's Powderfinger for any kick from outside 50 would be friggin amazing - best thought I've had in 10 years.

Selwood needs a decent one... he's kicking three goals every week right now.

"Selwoods got a bandaged head, he's still leaving the hawks for dead, Selwood *clap, clap, clap* Selwood"

Something like that.

You can be guaranteed he'll have a bandaged head

It wouldn't be hard to replicate some football chants about players.

Just replace the lyrics.

"There's only one Dawson Simpson,
One Dawson Simpson.
He used to be sh**e,
But now he's all right,
Walking in a Simpson wonderland"

"Harry Taylor,
Harry Taylor,
Harry Taylor Number 7,
F*** your Clokes,
F*** your Franklins,
‘Cause he'll eat those c**** alive!"

 

[vinum coupe]

Could have used one against west coast too.

"Ellis, Ellis, who the f*** is Ellis?"

 

[thecatattack]

His name is Stevie, he wears the famous Hoops

I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough

When he scores a punt or when he scores a snap

I just cant get enough, I just can't get enough

He scores a goal and the Cats go wild

And I just can't seem to get enough Stevie

Do-do-do-do-do-do-do

Do-do-do-do-do-do-do

Do-do-do-do-do-do-do

 

[thecatattack]

(Unfortunately) anything that requires a '***' on Bigfooty is a no go for chants.

**** how offensive it is. Lets create a hostile atmosphere at our games.

 

[SmackAdder]

just do this when hawkins kicks a goal

For the love of God, don't do this when he kicks a goal. I won't begin to discuss the somewhat racist connotations that gesture/singing/action can be fraught with.

Someone in the front row got a warning from the club/afl last week for saying 'He almost took his f***ing head off!'

Really? That's so ****ed.

That reminds me of when a guy at the 2009 Boxing Day test got kicked out for yelling "YOU'RE ****ING SHIT" after a Pakistan player misfielded the ball.

 

[JUBJUB]

When SJ kicks one, you can go Queen's "It's a touch of magic, magic, magic...It's a touch of magic, magic, magic"

Everytime SJ kicked the ball on Saturday night all I heard in my head was circus music

 

[Commando]

Chants?? Please you can barely clap at an afl match these days

Stick to gee-long clap cap clap

 

[James1970]

Continuing on the Neil Young - "My, My, Hey, Hey, the Cats are on their way. My, My, Hey, Hey, we don't want it any other way"

 

[iameviljez]

Can I suggest a simple line of a song for specific players when they kick a goal.

Such has when the Hypen slots one through, you can sing the first line from The Seekers "Georgie Girl" - "Hey there, Georgie Boy!! I've never seen a goal like that before!"

When SJ kicks one, you can go Queen's "It's a touch of magic, magic, magic...It's a touch of magic, magic, magic"

With Tommy, AC/DC and the opening chant to Thunderstruck "Na, na na naaaa, na na naaa, na na na naaaa.... that was Thunderstruck!!!"

If Tommy misses you could go with AC/DC's "seems he had a touch, a touch too much"

You get the drift...

When Stokesy goals... take some Johnny Cash, "Snort the line"?

**** how offensive it is. Lets create a hostile atmosphere at our games.

Or let's at least have an atmosphere where you can take kids.

Oh yeah cause they don't know what the word **** is by 8.

Certainly wouldn't want them mimicking it even if they did.

hahaha!! "what's he gonna do now, what's he gonna do now??"

Before your time on Bigfooty

 

[Teriyakicat]

There's a stupid ditty that is really catchy that has some chopping in it and might be adapted to suit Hawkins- not sure how it would go but you can perhaps pick a bit out of it and go with it. Some of you have got some great ideas and might think of something.
here's a version from YouTube:



Once I hear it, I sing it all day. This is something that you could look for in a rhythm or cheer for a player- i.e. that it makes people sing it after the game as they leave the ground.
