Yeah I don’t mind itAll the miserable campaigners who hate the wave can go away.
Harmless fun. Kids love it.
"It's so Perth" should not be a negative epithet.
Cease the unnecessary cultural cringing comrades.

... It's embarrassing, it's disrespectful and it needs to cease immediately. Put my head in my hands when I see it coming...
I cant stand it. The same dickhead always tries to start it as well, he needs a good talking to. You're at a footy game, not a Ricky Martin concert. Just sit down.

I'd find Marsden trying to fend off Patrick Cripps to be less cringeworthy.
For sure, just saying it's not done anywhere else in football, only Perth. They can do whatever they want, but it's still cringeworthy.I threw 1 arm up reluctantly as it came round felt , ridiculous but some fans love it so why not if it gives them a thrill , might have been their 1st game with a big win . They paid ,its their right .
Big night shaking your bob-bon?Woke up on the wrong side of the public toilet
Na, it's crap, all the "footy" atmosphere left the ground and the cheering was for the wave as it went past, wasn't a coincidence the players intensity dropped off. And besides I paid my bucks and I'm entitled to hate it.All the miserable campaigners who hate the wave can go away.

That is fair enough but I didn't perceive much footy atmosphere at that stage myself. 80 odd up with 10 minutes to go in a non-final.Na, it's crap, all the "footy" atmosphere left the ground and the cheering was for the wave as it went past, wasn't a coincidence the players intensity dropped off.

That game pissed me off no end.The mexican wave simply gave a signal to the WCE players that we were too happy with the results and hence they started to slow down.
The impacts on lowering the score percentage can be huge. I still remember the 2007 season when we helped to celebrate Sheedy and Hird retirement and let Essendon came back from a big losing margin. Though we still won the R22 game, but we lost the top 2 position and end up losing to the not so strong Port Adelaide away.
Port Adelaide was second and we were third on the ladder only because we failed to score more goals against Essendon in the last quarter of the R22!!
Why do people hate the Mexican wave so much?
We're in a good spot if we have to reach down to "Our Mexican wave is a bit weak" to find weaknesses.
We're living the dream.
"Our Mexican wave is a bit weak"
"Jack Darling keeps ruining my thread bagging him"
"We haven't won a flag in eight whole months!"
"It's only half time and we're 7-3 and in front but I think the club should fold"
"We should be winning by 110 points otherwise I'll close my account"
We are a precious lot sometimes.
Were they doing it when our team got annihilated by Port? Next time we're down by 10 goals I might try and start one and see how it's received.
Fair viewpoint but a harsh analysis.It's disrespectful to the opposition and the game itself. It's arrogant, embarrassing, and only happens at WCE games.
One thing doing it in a soccer match when there's only a couple scores a game, but AFL is different as there's always something going on and to cheer for.
Its like saying, this game is boring I'm just going to switch off and distract everyone around me from the game despite the fact it's still being played.
We aren't top of the ladder. We finally beat a team by more than a few goals and it's time to break out the Mexican wave like we're the globe trotters?

I'd loved me a soccer, oh ley a ley a le, that would be goosebump worthy.I like the Mexican wave in the final quarter of the final round when we’ve had a bloody good season as recognition to players.
Wondering if we have any tactical gameplay up our sleeve, that we will unfurl come finals time.
I'm thinking ala the Adelaide away final during Wooshas time, handballing our way to victory.
Or refusing for 2 years to match our opponents putting a spare man in defence, and then doing it in the 06 GF.
