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....?????

HAHAHAHA....!!

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

I would be in on it, except I sit in the MCC. Still, I can sit anywhere but the AFL members.

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].

I think I'll sit this one out

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.

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

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.

If you guys make the news i will be seriously impressed. I think this stuff can be fun. Give it a crack.

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

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?

im with you jack watts!!!

Sure, why not?

The point is to generate people talking - and if this happens a few times, its bound to make the media somewhere

Hrm :S

Two posters join simply to agree with this topic?

.......The Sound of Crickets...........seriously though a "flash mob in trench coats?" - sounds like something out of Underbelly!!
