I went to the 2011 NAB Cup GF with some mates from uni. You can imagine I'd be the rowdiest of the bunch, but we hadn't won a pre-season GF since 1979. I am sitting behind this well to do Bombers supporter, who through the bursts we put on the bombers throughout the game, turns arounds and shooshes me. I was stunned, but kindly reminded her she took a wrong turn and missed the library all together. Lucky for us, Heath Shaw didn't!It did feel like i was sitting near cardboard cut outs sometimes, missed the Vic park outer. Mind you last 2 years the magpie army passion has been outstanding. The slow chant has to be bigger and louder in 2024. The fact clubs train with it proves how intimidaing it is. We need to also do it at around the ground ball ups, not just after goals. Thats when they need the 19th man!

But fair dinkum, you don't have to be abusive or start heckling people, UNLESS we are talking Carlton fans. You can keep it fun. My two year old daughter is rowdier than me, and she encourages me, so I have an excuse!
But PLEASE for the love of the great pantheon of Daicosian Gods, can we avoid sanitising the game and removing barracking completely? This isn't the Melbourne cheer squad that Jack Dyer made a gag about. This is our national game, every match is a religious experience, so let us pray, God damnit!
