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

I would be in on it, except I sit in the MCC.:P 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].

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

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
