Hi - anyone interested in being part of an MFC flash mob?

What is this?

Idea is a text message/email goes out a few days beforehand nominating date, time and meeting place (e.g.. under the clock at Flinders Street).

Everyone meets wearing coats etc - then we all take our coats off to show our MFC guernsey's underneath and sing the MFC club song

Is this weird? - yes

Random? - definitely

Would it be noticed? absolutelyf

We need to keep up the momentum - may seem weird, stupid - perhaps it is - but who is in....?????

    I like the idea, but might be negatively received. I've always liked the idea of starting another supporter group that sings and chants. Cheer squads are so boring and dull (sorry if that offends anyone involved in them). The chants are so old and boring. They do nothing to excite the crowd around the ground. Anyone who has been to a Premier League match would be able to admit how much influence the supporter "firms" have on the crowd. Granted, they cause a lot of trouble, but you have a group of 30 or so men singing and chanting and cheering, and suddenly an entire stand/stadium is joining in.

    I'd be VERY interested if it was a dedicated, aggressive (supporting wise) and LOUD supporting group.

    OK, cool - yeah - it's something different - if heaps come along it would be awesome....there's a lot of momentum and goodwill behind the club at the moment - let's capitalise on it....agree with you, people are more likely to cheer in bigger groups

    Great, it doesn't have to be at the G though - it could be in the Bourke Street Mall on a Thursday night....5.30 before going home - or outside Young and Jackson @1.30 or something on a game day...i.e. so random it would be noticed - makes people realise that Dees supporters are 'mobilising'.

    Open for suggestions though, what do you think would work best??

    I'm a avid follower of English football and realise the songs and passion at games is great, but our game is too fast, to much going on with desicions etc for these sort of sing alongs, that and they really seem to me to be trying to bring another codes cultural to our unique game.

    Not a fan of the Essendon or Richmond idiots that think they are a "Firm" and singing at games.

    Also their songs are [censored].

    Why not It would be great seeing a group of 30 mad dees fans singing and chanting. They could try and make up new chants. It would be great. And after every Melbourne win they stay and chant and sing after the game for about 15 minutes or more.

    I've seen something like this in London - from my understanding you don't do it at the game but at a random time (eg: the day before in the city or something) where everyone suddenly stops and shows they're wearing a Melbourne gurnsey or Melbourne scarf, followed by clubsong or something. Honestly, all out there ideas start off looking random/'embarassing' but they're also the type of ideas the grab people's attention. You only live once. COUNT ME IN TO GIVE THIS A SHOT.

    Indeed, I'm not sure how the idea of getting some people at the footy to sing chants got mixed up with a flash mob :P

    Great idea. Count me in. We need to do more things like this.

    Hmm 1 post. Would you be the same poster as the guy who opened this weird, messed up thread. And then you realised you needed some moral support, so you got yourself to provide that to you?

    Hrm :S

    Two posters join simply to agree with this topic?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
