OK @WalkingCivilWar and others from the Demon Army:

the players are doing this after a win:

 

Can the Army start it it the crowd so that it becomes our mark

What a great idea! I’m gonna suggest it right now on our WhatsApp chat!!!

I dunno about this idea… it’s the players’ thing and I believe they do it if they keep the opposition below 60 points.
 

Would love to see it once in the crowd with 2 minutes left in a grand final we’re about to win but I feel if we see it done 5 times a week in the crowd it kinda cheapens a concept they clearly bond around.

Agree It's  the players private celebration 

Supporters can do it any time they want after a win etc.

Maybe it's just me, but that would have seemed a more appropriate celebration for the 2006 West Coast Eagles to engage in considering the contents of what Matthew McConaughey spoke about in that restaurant.

That said, I reckon we should do it if we knock off the Filth. Rightly or wrongly, they consider us bourgeoise scum. I say we throw that back in their face in a manner they hate.

Memory is a little foggy from the broadcast, but didn't they say it was more about winning and keeping the oppo under 60 points?

100% it was this.

well actually 99% it was this - I think it was 63 points (as their average)...anyway, it wasn't the win, it was the defensive effort they celebrated.

Personally, like the Dogs and "Freed From Desire", it's best kept out of the public's eye. 

Yeah, great to see it but I'd have preferred it kept under wraps.
Surprised they left the door open TBH.

The Wolf of Wall Street was funded by stolen money from the Malaysian government. (1MDB)

Ex PM finally started a 12 year prison stretch last night.

Diamond - was that funding for the movie or for the wolf himself?

It's got a bit of "heart beats true" about it too

Love our team song, hate the delivery.  What I mean by this is that music that accompanies the words and the way it is sung is so 1950ish for the want of better words. It is so last century, tired , old, way past its use by date. Not inspiring at all. I’m an old bugger and I reckon it’s old!

Please don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t change one word, it’s perfect, in fact I believe it should never ever be changed.  It’s just the delivery.

When our boys ‘sing’ it in the rooms after a big win it is like a war cry, a chant, bearing no resemblance to what is played over the PA system at the G that we try and sing to. 


I love hearing some of our younger crew belting out the words on train going home after a big win. The tempo that they deliver it in is exactly how team belts it out. Sounds great.

Would love to see some professional musicians bring the ‘tune’ into the 21st century. The formula is already there, up the tempo, modernise the music  so that it matches what our boys do. That way it would be a powerful chant that we could get going at the end of the game.

Could you imagine if the music was modified and played on the PA after a win at the G. I could really imagine the vast majority of our supporter base ripping into the ‘chant’ (rather than try and ‘sing’ it).   Combine it with beating our hearts. It could be our new trade mark.  It would be magnificent and intimidating all at the same time.  (Bit like the INXS theme that Port do at the start of their home games, it is just so effective).

If you don’t like the idea and think it should all stay the way it had been, all good.

Ah yes, 'modern' theme songs, what could go wrong....

    CONSISTENCY by The Oracle

    "I think we have got a team that can win a premiership, and if we get in this year, I don't think there is a team that is going to want to play us. This year is not a write-off, I don't concede that. Not at all." — Collingwood President Jeff Browne. I love this sort of optimism from the Magpie President after his club’s eleven goal defeat at the hands of the fast rising Hawks. It’s consistent with the fighting spirit of the club that won last year’s flag.  I only wish I could say the s

    FEARS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne’s worst fears about the absence of Max Gawn were realised when it received a shellacking from Fremantle’s ruckmen Sean Darcy and Luke Jackson who dominated the hit out tally in their game at Optus Stadium on Sunday by a massive 47 to 19. As a result, the 50-point deficit at the end of the game proved to be a loss that was long foreseen that was two years in the making and demonstrated a complete lack of hindsight and planning from the club. To add insult to injury, Jackson was a D

    The Demons return to the MCG in Round 20 to take on the GWS Giants and will be hoping the injured Captain Max Gawn is fit to return to his role in the ruck as their season is slipping away. Who comes in and who comes out?

    RAIN CHECK by Whispering Jack

    The Frankston Dolphins broke a run of six straight losses against their neighbours, the Casey Demons and kept their hopes for a long-awaited return to the VFL finals alive with a 27 point victory over at Kinetic Stadium. Casey was welcomed to the Peninsula by grey skies, heavy rain and angry seas with threatening white-capped waves whipped up by gale force winds. After a slow start in the opening term when they failed to take advantage of the breeze, it appeared that the Demons had decided
