19th Man Ideas

[IddyBiddy]

So love it or hate it, the club is looking for its supporters to come up with ways to engage the 19th Man concept into the gameday.

I’ve had a look at the Seattle Seahawks 12th Man program and they record the decibel levels of the crowd each game and publish their levels on their website after each game. They also attribute the opposition’s ‘false start’ count to the 12th Man (their supporters).
So with that in mind, and given the creative minds we have on this Board, does anyone have any bright ideas about how we can once again turn Footy Park into a cauldron of oppression for visiting teams? Any how can we use the 19th Man concept to get this all going?

Send the cheersquad to bay 119.

hey I just realised that Ports cheersquad is in bay 119, ah the irony

 

[Campbell's Chunky]

Attribute the oppositions goal kicking efficiency to the crowd.

Ie:
Hawthorn kick 9.19 - 19th Man collects BOG honours.
Hawthorn kick 18.7 - 19th Man sent back to SANFL

I would totally support this

Not that this has much to do with the 19th man concept, but I've always felt that we could use some better chants.
"A-de-laide *clap clap clap*" is about all you hear, with some different chants we might get some more people involved.
Theres a chant I heard in an NHL match I saw involving Canada where the supporters would bang on the glass and whatever else they could find (opposition supporters?) to the slower beat of CA-NA-DA and it sounded pretty intimidating.
Imagine being in the rooms and hearing the booming beat of A-DE-LAIDE over the top of the opposition song as you're about to run onto the ground!

Also, as the 19th man, after the next premiership we should all get an official Premiership medallion.

Is it possible to have something very distracting (but tasteful, so KG posing nude would be out of the question ) on the big screens to distract the players shooting for goal.

Or, similar to Centrals chants, have U CROWS going around the stadium. Will certainly add to the atmosphere.

Crows dance squad next to the goals.

bring back the crow o meter!

I know I used to like the challenge of trying to get the meter into the high level

Last year I conducted an in depth study on crowd noise at Crows games, well I noticed it once lol. The team runs out to the song, everyone does that synchronized clap which isnt even maintained for the whole song and kinda fades out after the first verse, and basically that sets the tone for the whole match.

This isnt so much 19th Man, well maybe it is, but couldnt they use someone or something (other than the big screen guy who tells us to clap now) to get the crowd fired up before the team runs out.

 

[cmndstab]

You know what would rock?


If all the seats in the stadium were on top of conveyer belts. And in each subsequent row the conveyer belt when the opposite direction.


Man that would rock.

I can't stand that guy telling me to clap. If you need to be told when to cheer then you shouldn't be at the game. It just feels contrived. It annoys me (and has been like this for a long time) that the majority of supporters only really get involved if we kick a goal (well around me anyway - go Bay 131). If we're losing then it can be like a morgue. I subscribe to the philosophy that the time to support your team the most is when they're down.

Anyhoo. 19th Man Ideas. With the new drinking laws, maybe the 19th Man can skull every time we kick a goal? With a few brews in everyone i'm sure we'll be in fine voice

The members call to arms needs to be accompanied by a reveille bugle call.

 

[Geoffa32]

When opposition is kicking at goal everyone blow towards the ball. Or bring in personal fans.

 

[Alex99]

Bring back the chant of “Arrrrr w***er” after we have kicked a point and the opposition are kicking in.

 

[BockPorplyziaFC]

They seem to pack the stadium over in Perth with lots of noise, maybe we need to introduce some sort of "SA" gang sign everyone can do when the camera is on them...

While it would be expensive and therefore pretty much not going to happern - what if the club sent all members a guernsey with the number 19 on it. If they say all members are the "19th man" and therefore they are retiring the No 19 guernsey then imagine 40000 people at the ground with the number 19 on their back.

Why a Guernsey? yeah that would be expensive but why not get a t-shirt mass produced instead of giving out a cooler bag or some novelty item as they have in years gone past. Have the shirts the same colour with 19 visible on them and you will achieve the same effect.

Or the opposite;

Come on fellas, put your bodies on the line. Worked for him.

Have it at both ends. memebrs of the bay 142 thing at one end. And whoever is in bay 119 at the other end

and becasue this isnt youtube, does that mean it is about to be deleted by the mods

and the answer to WWJD. I wouldnt do that, im a bit overweight and nobody would want to see it

 

[Cap]

I guess we really need to find a way to keep the crowd interested for 100% of the game, not just at the end if its close or when we score a goal.

I just can't work it out because most supporters are too busy watching to make noise.

Only thought guernsey because of the concept of being "the 19th man" and retiring the number 19 guernsey so it would go along with the symbolism of the whole concept. Clearly too expensive but I'd be much more likely to wear a guernsey with the 19 on it than a t-shirt.

 

[Blue Red and Gold]

Bring back the chant of “Arrrrr w***er” after we have kicked a point and the opposition are kicking in.

I suggested this for last years heritage round, I would love to see it back

"There's only one Graham Johncock" - 30k people singing that would give the guy a boost
