As we all head into and around Docklands tonight, have a good look.

The club has decided to make every home game there from now on (and hopefully every MCG home game as well) have a real Essendon feel about it.

Club posters and photos
Lighting
Red and black colours

All are going to be part of it.

I remember the first time we ever played Freo at the MCG in 1995.

To mark the occasion of Freo's first game in Melbourne, they decided a real live cannon with a blank round should be shot off before the game started.

The only problem is, no one knew they were going to do it, so when it happened...everyone sh!t themselves...the first I knew about the cannon, was when I saw the smoke coming up from the entrance between the Southern and Ponsford...
 
I can't wait for this air raid thing to go off.. It's going to send chills down my spine.. And setting it off while Franklin and Roughead kick for goal would be an absolute crackup...

Given an air raid siren is a signal to take shelter etc from an oncoming attack, you would think in the circumstances it was aired before Hawthorn (specifically Lance Franklin and Jaryd Roughead) entered the arena.

Perhaps they will run it just as Buddy is about to kick and he'll get scared and run off the ground tripping over his dress doing his ankle! :p
 
We did that about 7 years ago...... was rather embarrassing. I think it only lasted a few weeks.

Yeah I reckon it would have been. As far as building the culture and building tradition and such, I reckon Man U does well. "You'll Never Walk Alone" is anthemic...

I reckon 'Brothers in Arms' by Dire Straits might work.

i can handle thunderstruck or maybe even TNT but no way in hell am i going to cop a J-Lo song in lets get loud. How gay would that be? I'd be too embarassed to attend.

yeah...thunderstruck would be gay as well imo

I'm sorry, but that's the dumbest thing I ever heard.

You're telling me! Was absolutely embarrassing listening to JLo at the game before the bombers running out.
Thunderstruck wasnt too bad though i spose.

Cant believe you guys never heard about it previously? And even thought it was my idea :lol: Just as bad at the 'Pressure Cooker' events.
 
Yeah I did. You have to be rational about these things though. It's an anthem and it works.

YNWA is a Liverpool anthem. United is ****ing shit, as OT is full of tourists.
