Dockers clap clap clap is lame as f....
I go to our home games. I can't recall a " clap clap clap " chant.

A full on " Freeeeeeeeoooooooo" is pretty cool though.

Edit : I reckon our Vic cheer squad does it the best though. They have some pretty cool chants.

Yeah I don't understand why the simple Freeooo chant isn't enough. Very intimidating in full flight and is pretty unique despite a few imitators out there.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think it really decently rang out once against Essendon, yet they tried to get like half a dozen mexican waves up in a couple minutes and people were seriously booing because it stopped halfway round... :huh:

Freeeeoooo or GAGF.

Yeah so the red army chorus do a rousing version of the volga boat song and there's a part in it where they get really excited and so do I because I can hear them singing freo dockers. It's only 4 notes. The crowd should be able to sustain it. If no one can think of anything better, we'll do that then.

The Freo chant started up fairly early but to be honest we all realised where we are at and who we were playing so it died an early death.

You're right it didn't and if nothing better comes along, freo is the best we've got or gagf as they say. Bit of booing, much cheering and the chanting. Good times.

True. Although how we went from "this is too easy a kill for the freo chant" to "let's bust out the ol' school carnival 'dockers(clap, clap, clap)' and finish it off cranking up the party time mexican wave" still leaves me pretty confused. Still, great that this has been my biggest thing to melt over the past fortnight!

I'm gunna just quietly exit stage left now... :$

I walked away from that game with mixed emotions.

We won, so that was good, but we only beat Essendon.

They hand out lollipops on the way out and I got a pineapple one so that made me happy.

Are you Bijeli as well ?
Sorry for the slow response, GOT'ing. I'm a pretty passive fan but yeah my family is from Makarska, bout a half hour from Split so adopted them.

You? Obviously a pretty keen fan hey? Are you Torcida? I know Bijeli is white but is that a supporter group or something?

You watch the game last night? Good win for the Vatreni :fire:

I always thought that piece would make an amazing crowd song/chant. Not sure which bit you are referring to, but the whole thing is pretty damn epic.


Imagine sixty thousand people crammed into a stadium, the low murmur scoring the scene of players preparing for the game. It's a cold night down on the grass, and as they take their places on the field, their breath fogs under the brilliant lights. In that moment, as the crowd and players collectively brace for the bounce of the ball, Leonid Kharitinov rises from his seat. His otherworldly baritone rings out...

Ey, ukhnem Yo, heave ho
Ey, ukhnem Yo, heave ho
Yeshcho razik, yeshcho da raz Once more, once again, still once more


The crowd joins in, quietly as first. The words are unfamiliar, most of the crowd are just making a noise approximately close to the leader of the song.

As they gain confidence, their voices lift as one, in a song of suffering and joy, a song of hardship and triumph, a song which speaks to them as Fremantle supporters.

Well I get a sneaking feeling in my gut that fremantle just bounced. We bounced pretty hard and the bottom of that bounce was RTB's spray at quarter time against St Kilda. That was the low point and given the dramatic speed of the drop I'm expecting an equally rapid rise back. We'll find out this week. We may not win but we'll be very competitive unlike the first 10 rounds.

It predict its going to cause great confusion amongst footy watchers and commentators. I get the feeling that the young blokes have finally got their chance and there's no way they're going to stuff this up.

I did a ladder predictor the other day and even if we win the remaining games this season we would prob just miss the 8 but i dont think thats the point this season we are better finishing around 15th so we get a top 5 draft pick

Well look at you in your piggies. You couldn't be more different from our leonid. I loved what you described going on out on the field. It was very easy for me to be there seeing hearing feeling. Singing. The music was easy for me because I've watched that video before. Thanks for putting it up. As to the moment you described it would be hearts soaring and minds lifting. I don't think the people want to sing a song as you describe, they want to chant. If you can't pull the four notes listening to our leonid and his bros then your not trying. Listen. freo dockers. Are you hearing me pants?
