Opinion Make Some Noise!

[hilly]

Absobloodylutely Horace. After a loss, if I'm still speaking coherently I take the view that I'm in no position to go finger pointing at players for giving it anything less than their all, as I obviously haven't.

It's up to each and every one of us to pull our weight, be emotionally invested in every play, and exercise our voice boxes to the max in support of the 22 blokes out there representing our club.

Sorry mate, can't agree. I think giving it your all involves contributing financially to the club as much as one can. That in itself makes it unlikely that someone will be silent during a game of course.

I don't mind it, I never really give it any thought.

The ghey cat noise at Skilled makes me cringe though.

They did. we started it in the last quarter the other night too. Unfortunately - and this happens often (maybe it's the length of the song) - even though the crowd waits until the game is won to start singing, some time during it the opposition gets the ball and kicks or looks like kicking a goal and the triumphalism just tails off pretty quickly.

Mentally soft - 'Jekyll and Hyde' - supporters! We've got to get more consistent over the whole quarter. We can't afford to drop off for five minutes here and there.

If I'm not searching for the Butter Menthols once home I've been shithouse during the three hours of game time.

MAKE PLENTY OF NOISE!

That's what I'm talkin' about!!

For what it is worth, I never go home without basically losing my voice. We expect our players to leave nothing out there in terms of effort, so we too should do the same from our side of the fence. Takes me a couple of days to get my voice back to be honest though.

And if it's good enough for an old Royboy, it's good enough for all of us!

I don't get what you're not agreeing with hilly old boy. The definition of what constitutes "giving it your all as a supporter"?

We're talking about the level of noise generated during games by the supporters in attendance, and my definition of "giving it your all as a supporter" on that front only is based purely on that.

 

[Roos Addick]

I don't mind it. When we are on a run and it comes on I DO actually make some noise.

Now I know whay I was told to sit down and shut up. I made noise before I was supposed to!!

 

[Liam Boy]

how much I lose my voice is usually directly proportionate to the score/margin. If we score a lot of goals in quick succession it's gone, guaranteed. Couldn't speak for 3 days after we smashed Freo 3 years ago (Aaron Mullett's debut)

 

[Massive Unit]

I hated it and cringed,but now quite like it. The kids love it.... Think of the children,

Wasn't this phrase something along the lines of Rolf's defence?







Too early??

 

[KangaRooster]

I am with Twinkletoes on this...when we are on a roll it is awesome and the two instances that come to mind are the 3rd Q's V Tigers and Hawks

Was going to post exactly this.

To the people saying that as a crowd we should be making noise the entire game, fair enough.. Maybe when we crack 50,000 fans and have the belief the team is going to bring the required effort every game, but as it stands i see our supporters with a fair share of trepidation most weeks.

But as a team that tries to/succeeds when we score quickly from centre clearences, I don't see how anyone can argue with a massive crowd roar before the ball goes up especially when we're on a roll.

It's no coincidence that in the 3rd Q's vs Richmond and Hawthorn when we got on our roll and the Make Some Noise campaign was rolling, we won about 15 clearences combined and kicked 10 odd goals. The opposition suddenly started making bad decisions and giving away stupid free kicks, honestly I think it works and the players feed off it.

Keep it until it breaks.

Some of you get off your high horse, so what if the board initiates the fans getting off their feet and supporting the boys. Whatever it takes to get the fans into it, and get the players pumped.

Fair enough. I vary a lot on that front, but certainly love to hear everyone going nuts.

I dropped about six f bombs in a row during the 3rd term last week.

Is your personal box sound proof?

 

[Benno_900]

It's better than the crow call at Adelaide oval, that panther call at Kardinia, that toilet flush that is supposed to be a lion roar up at the Gabba, etc.

 

[ArjenTheGreat]

Angriest we've been in some time... There was even some vigour on level 2.

Supporters really need to sit at the one end, if you go to the game and you're not a reserved seat holder, sit at the North Melbourne end. That will certainly take it to the next level. And then add our own come-on-the-roos massed chant and we're almost there.

We are loud supporters but we are poorly orchestrated and don't like sitting in large groups which is bizarre. Why anyone wants to sit in a section where you are outnumbered is beyond me.

Latrobe St entrance. Do it.

So you like the trumpet on the GC too?

I never said I liked it.

I implied it could be much worse.

 

[ArjenTheGreat]

Your loss. The trumpet is good. But not as good as the "charge" in the IPL, which is my all time favorite seppo bullshit.

 

[shinboner magic]

I like it.

Gets the kids really involved and it livens up the place.

we have quite a few silent fans whne they are most needed.

[Marstermind]

I don't like being told when I should '"make some noise" but my kids always get up and about when it comes on so yeah. It hurts no one, it makes some people cheer for the Roos so...move on, nothing to see here.

 

[GazzaRoo]

Would love to pull out a vuvuzelas "long trumpet" like they do at the soccer games. Would certainly scare the shit out of the people sitting around me. How long before I got dragged off to the basin for a touch by security. 30 seconds.

Wouldn't mind seeing some more props out of the North Tragics, is there a rule about bringing that kind of stuff into Etihad? I've just never seen it is all.

If there wasn't a rule one would be introduced very quickly i think to stop people bringing in those types of props.
I just fancy the idea of waking up some of the lethargic North folk in my bay.
