I was at the game on the weekend and while it was an amazing game to watch, there was still something missing.

I realised that there was no chance in the game for 40,000 Crows fans to call out ROOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I used to love that when Ricciuto took a mark inside 50 and kicked a goal the whole place would shout ROOOOOOOOOOOO! Or going back a few years the WEEEEEEEEEEEEED!

Is there anyone on the list that we can get behind like this? I tried to bring back the ROOOOOOOOOOOOO with Dangerfield (no. 32 connection) but that didn't seem to work. Suggestions?
 
BOOOOOOOOOOOB (for Moran)
TEEEEEEEEEEEEEX (for Walker)
POOOOOOOOOORP (for Porplyzia)
SLOOOOOOOOANE (just for the fun of it)
 
I agree, it's sorely missed.

Carlton now have Krooooooooooze, whenever Kruezer gets the ball. Unfortunately you can't manufacture it- it just happens.
 
Carlton fans also go "Eddiieeeee!!" for Eddie Betts which sounds cool. They also uniformly cream their pants when Judd gets with-in 10 meters of the ball, which isn't so cool.

Not really sure if we have a fan favourite who has a name we can do it with. I'd hope to hear a bit of "TEEEEEX" going on in the future, you could start it if you had a large enough group of people participating. "POOOORPS" could work too..

Let's not forget Weeeeeed!

Unfortunately we have poor names for this kind of thing. Unless of course we invent something like Carton did with Ang Christou and WOOOF!
 
Mentioned in another thread that my mate and I, towards the end of last season, started going with "EEEEEEEEEEEEVARRRNNN" whenever Maric got the ball. It caught on a little bit in our little bit of the Northern Stand.

But the way he's going this year, his cult status has declined and it hasn't really got going.
 
Definitely need the double vowel - I was looking at Riggy's post earlier and was wondering why people would want to shout out Boob or Poo before I clicked to what he was saying. Oo beats Ee but otherwise it just doesn't work and I can't think of any nicknames on our list that fit the bill.
 
Now you don't want to american-ise this great game too much. But my beloved Magic play the Superman music when Dwight Howard has a big dunk of block.

DO you go down the 'trivial' gimmicky line?

e.g Danger gets the ball and some sort of siren sounds.

As for the name chants, just takes a few to get something catchy going and it gets on quick. See Cristou and WOOF

Not sure about playing sounds during the match. Works with basketball because it's a smaller area but I'm not sure if it would work for footy.

We need something to turn AAMI into an intimidating fortress of Crow giving pain!

Not sure what it is, but I'd like to see loud CONSTANT noise from the crowd.

Agreed. We need something to chant. IMO ROOOOOO was the best chant ever, and considering dangerfield appears to be roos son, wears roos number, why can we dub him Roooooooooo?

Neeeeeeewwwww Roooooooooo?

Thirty Twoooooooooooooo?
 
There was a group last year on the opposite side to where we sit (I think under the northern stand) that used to call out VAAAAAAAAAAAAN BERRRRRRRRRRRRR LOOOOOOOOOOWWWW which sounded pretty funny from across the oval, however they have gone missing - maybe due to his much debated form drop.

I think this should be our top priority in the next couple of drafts. We finally have our forward line, midfield and KPPs. Its time for us to recruit some guys with double EEs or OOs in their name.

WITTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE REEEEEEEEEEEEEMARK!
