Okay so this lyric is set to the All American Rejects' song "Gives You Hell".


Did you catch his pace
He's Daniel Wells, he's Daniel Wells
All you do is chase
On Daniel Wells, our Daniel Wells

There's not a man
Who's worth a damn
Next to Daniel Wells

You look like fools
Hope he gives you hell
He's Daniel Wells

When you hear this song
I hope that it will give you hell
You can sing along
You've just been owned by Daniel Wells

Cheers squad is pathetic!
The amount of times I left my reserved seat to venture into the cheer squad n chant last season is unreal, and just about everytime I tried to belt out a new number I just got weird looks and chuckels towards me asif to say "your kiddin yaself mate that wont catch on"

and slippin a swear word into it doesnt help, ya get mauled by the seniors "theres kids here! watch your mouth"
same goes in the reserve area ya cant poor ya heart out cause of the youngsters around, I doubt they give a stuff. The kids get a laugh out of psycho, screaming, swearing supporters like meself. half the time the children are asleep of burried in a coloring book or the kids part of the record.

I give up on the cheer squad n just stand behind the sad mob, sink piss, sledge em n chant wildly with the rest of the pissheads around me
solid bunch

get on the grog squad :thumbsu:

Everyone has their place mate, you seem to have found yours. No need to rip hard into the cheersquad.
They've copped a bit of flak in here and the last few posts have suggested they've taken it in their stride. It's great to see some abit of healthy discussion on all this.

I think we're building something here. Would be a good time to suggest that if your gonna knock something, then at least contribute in some way yourself. Otherwise your just shit caning for the sake of it.
 
Just really got to me last season. Me havin a crack at throwin some new chants in n gettin shunned. Shit me up the wall.

Ill slip into the cheer squad on n off this season no doubt n really rip into it. This thread shows alot of gutsy supporters like me belting out chants with potential, but gettin bugger all reception but others. A must for me is to leave every game without a voice or barely breathing, should be this way for every member of the cheer squad.

Should all get together afew games n have a red hot crack in the cheer squad, especially at the few games we have at the MCG ;)

Every supporter capable of losing their voice should do so. I don't think i have been more proud of the North army than i was against the Blues last year. That was a memorable nht for us as supporters. Should happen every week.

Round 2 against the Pies, lets step it up.

Yes it should. What I find particularly offputting is the way we are so freakin' quiet at the start of many games. Especially afternoon games against lowly supported opponents. In some instances, the ball is bounced and play commences and you wouldn't even know there's a game on if you were blind.

When we lift our Brothers out on the field respond.

Aisle 34 ground level. 1 vote Hamish McIntosh mark against the Crows at Etihad in last quarter. 2 votes- Levi's goal against the Lions. 3 votes- Our whole night against Carlton under the bright friday lights.

There my Brownlow votes for our crowd in 2010.

I am dead set hanging to lose my voice in round 2 against Collingwood.

My son is watching the footy and copying what goes on around him, and I'm sure he's not the only one. I go to the footy, with kids, to support my team and yell my heart out. Having drunk adults swearing loudly is hardly ever funny or inspiring, its just obnoxious. I've seen a lot in this thread I like and really look forward to being part of, and none of it involves swearing.

You might think it's not footy, but attracting and keeping women and kids is the future of every club, none more so than ours. If we can get the soccer chant feel without the macho rubbish that goes with it, it will be amazing.

Oh, and cheer squads are given very strict rules for behaviour - if they go over the line I think the club gets fined - so none of that part of your tale is about individual taste.

Thats fair enough, but some blokes (me) get so fire up that the odd F bomb slips out n all other sorts. Not very easy to control when ya in the moment.

I doubt they get fined, ive sat in the Richmond, Essndon, Collingwood, Carlton, Hawthorn cheer squads over the years and they let loose on everything. But I recon they hold alot of respect towards each other in the cheer squad because they let things go as long as its showing support towards the team and whats goin on on the field, they back each other up, not have a go at each other for swearing or being too abusive. They join in and let the voice of the crowd be heard.
I know alot of people think these clubs have fairly scummy supporters but the atmosphere in those squads is sensational.
Ive picked up some chants off em too. Some absolute rippers :thumbsu:

Some women too, including me! Having my own kids there has made me a fair bit better controlled (although it clearly hasn't had the same impact on everyone).

Look forward to hearing a lot of noise from you, and to joining up to build the wall of North End sound.

Shit yeah! Ive just had a gut full of everyone havin a go at each other, cant we all just back each other and support the mighty Roos with shinboner spirit!
:thumbsu:

Chants:

"We are blue!
we are white!
we are ****ing dynamite!"


"We're Kangas till we die!
We're Kangas till we die!
We're blue and white!
The 'Team' are shite!
We're Kangas till we die!"


"Chim chimmeny chim chimmeny chim chim charoo!
We are shinboners! We wear white and blue!"


"You'll never get away from Swallow! we said no! no! no!"
 
Yeah abit risky for our mediocre team but bugger it, lets the North End be heard!

This ones abit cheeky, but is a quality chant I recon ;)

"He's bent, he's queer!
he takes it up the rear!
Dale Thooooomas! Dale Thoooooomas!" (or any other player)

FFS. That one's just exposing your latent homo-erotic leanings. And while I don't wish to judge, whatever you choose to repress in the privacy of your own home is your business, nevertheless I don't think such boofheaded, neanderthal chants are warranted in public in 2011.
 
hahah! naa mate, just givin the other team/players some shit :thumbsu:


"We all call him patchy
hes not very flashy
the toughest in the game
Leigh Adams is his name"
de de dede! *clap clap*

somethin like that for Adams

How about.. ROO ROO! blue and white army

ROO ROO! BLUUUUE N WHITE KNIGHTS!
ROO ROO! BLUUUUE N WHITE KNIGHTS!
ROO ROO! BLUUUUE N WHITE KNIGHTS!
ROO ROO! BLUUUUE N WHITE KNIGHTS!

We should capitalise on the 'White Knight' beat up. Label ourselves as 'The Blue and White Knights'. Whether the club runs with as part of the debt demolition is a separate issue. We should run with it ourselves. Or the club could incorporate it into official club merchandise, and popularise the term.

We should aim at packing every Bay in The North End out every week. And just like in the above clip, we issue each bay a poster/board that has the Mazda Logo on it, 1 blue bay, 1 white bay, etc.

Or this can be an independent sponsor. I saw on the Essendon page that the club is signing up 'the most passionate' supporters to become part of their 'Red Energy' crew. They will wear their sponsors colours and signage and be situated next to opposition cheer squads and asked to wreak havoc.

That is a club run initiative by Essendon, we need to seriously rally ourselves and the club to get this thing going.

1)What do you think of the coloured bay with sponsor logo idea?
2)What do you think of running with the term Blue and White Knights?

That's real responsible! If they get the living %^#* beaten out of them, I hope they sue the club and the sponsors to the sum of a small fortune for provoking the situation.
 
I do not think sponsored support is such a good idea, I mean West Coast look awful with their message on hold signs.


Is that even the Weagles cheer squad? I thought it was just paid corporate shills who nab the critical seats at Subi every week. Should be banned. You know the AFL would ban someone holding up a sign saying "Keep North South" or "Gillon McGilligan is a polo playing prat".
 
THE RED ENERGY RED & BLACK SQUAD

The Red Energy Red & Black Squad will consist of 50 of Essendon's most passionate fans whose primary role is to make as much noise as possible at each Essendon home game at Etihad Stadium in 2011.

Squad members will be seated directly next to the opposition cheer squad and each week members will be given Essendon/Red Energy branded merchandise/apparel to wear at the game

That's madness. That sort of club approved stupidity in its extreme form results in English style football hooliganism. And that inevitably leads to enforced segregation of fans. Why would you deliberately recruit your biggest and loudest idiots to place them alongside the opposition's biggest, loudest idiots if you weren't anticipating trouble?
