Bring back the anchor

[tofushark]

I am wondering what happened to bloody huge anchor that we used to have pulled up Stirling Hwy. I think we need to bring back the theatrics to these matches.

Maybe we could arrange pregame for Dale Kickett to go into a cage (UFC style) with a bunch of eagles (the actual birds) and give him five minutes to bite off as many heads as he can.

Ben Cousins isn't a man of high integrity and seems to be looking for a cheap buck at the moment. I think for $10 we could tether an anchor around his neck, not too big as we want to be be able to move, and get him to drag it around the boundary while crowd members throw Josh Carr action figures at him.

Any other suggestions?

Purple Vuvuzelas???

They may have been annoying for the World Cup, but that probably was more due to the factt hat they played them non stop the entire match, every match, for the whole month. Once a year for Freo home Derbies wouldn't be TOO bad now would it? We could even put disclaimers on them instructing people when they should use them (after Freo goal, everytime Eagles are taking a shot at goal)

35,000 odd vuvuzelas might get some pretty decent atmosphere going no?

Bring back the drums

Can anyone remind me why we aren't allowed the drums anymore? Those were seriously cool.

One retired, the other was just crap.

Subi residents complained it was too loud and the council leaned on the WAFC for them to be banned IIRC? They could have at least compromised and allowed them for day games FFS.

And yes the drums were the shit, the anchor however was extremely cringe-worthy and wouldn't make sense now anyway considering we've ditched it in all forms except on the logo.

God damn those Subi residents!!

NO!
Those bloody things ruined the world cup. I just turned it off and didn't watch one game.

Just like those blow up clapping things the toasters got to make it sound as though their crowd was involved.

Never ever should our Club encourage anything other than the voice of the crowd,

WHAAAT?

 

[more_of_bito]

is this the same Subi residents wanting the stadium to stay? is it possible they've come to realize that without the footy when no-one visits their extortion priced bars and restaurants and their cool little strip will become the most expensive inner city ghetto precinct in the state.
I digress. no to the vuvu, and reckon the anchor should get bronzed and put In the centre if the roundabout outside Freo Oval...

It was tacky, people laughed at it, but at least it was OURS.

Bring back the anchor.

 

[Moo]

As long as winning a flag in Moo's lifetime remains at the top of the clubs to do list, I'm reasonably happy for anchors and fundraisers.

Just FYI - next week we are collecting cash for the devestated area of Radelaide.

So... the drums are going to be back when we're in the new stadium?

Let's hope so, bit of a bummer we have to wait 7 years though

BUT when the time comes we'll have drums twice as big as before, and twice as many in number! **** yeah!

Bring back the drums

YES!!!!!! bring 'em back.

 

[dugrene]

Makes no sense.
Most people are unhappy with the loud music and advertising that is inflicted on us. It seems we pay good money to be a captive audience. totally wrong.

Let the drum beat and bring back the anchor.

I'd have more of a cringe factor about our membership if most of us preferr loud recorded advertising as opposed to a live enactment of something so corney we should be proud of it.

Corney is cool.

In the same vein as ringing a bell for Bell, and now that everyone's favourite player is Nat 'the knife' Fyfe, why don't we encourage everyone to bring knives to Subi so that every time Nat grabs the ball people could pull out their knives and start waiving them around. Unlike the bell this will be noiseless so unlikely to cause any issue. This could really catch on and soon we would have the whole crowd joining in.

left field, bizarre, mad, reckless........but i like it.

We could do a similar thing for The Goo and all spontaneously eject our goo into the air when he gets a touch.

Quality suggestion. Would be all the more enjoyable so sit next to a WC supporter.
