That was by sabre though
I occasionally yell get on your man, but only to the defenders when they trail their opponent. I only yell ball when a player has prior opportunity and drops it. I called blow the siren when we hit the front in the final term, I like to make silly and funny comments to ease the tension. I groan when players like mckenzie kick backwards or sideways and prefer him to go down the line. I don't boo the umpires I just yell at them. I also yelled put nic in the ruck on the weekend and it happened during the 3rd and we kicked goals straight away. We were definitely hampered by the lack of centre bounces because it nullified one of our clear advantages.
I would prefer people making idiotic comments than the polite hand clappers.

are we long lost brothers?
You don't need to be at the game to hear the idiots,
you get a much better laugh in your lounge room at home...

And forget Shannon Hurn, how good is Luke Shuey at taking the kick outs...

I prefer the loud ones too, but i'd also prefer them to learn the fundamentals of football....
Some people know the fundamentals but thry are resistant to the tactic changes, ie switching and zones. I was unhappy with our zoning in 2010 and felt we should play more man on man as we seemed to be useless at zoning as they kept scoring easy goals over the top. I was unaware that extra practice and return of key players that it would become a strength. I will admit I was wrong but the capacity to beat a man is still important.

When I started this thread, it wasn't particularly meant for general crowd reactions in a game. It was intended just for those little comments you hear somebody say at the game (Or wherever you are watching). The idea was to post here so we can all have a little laugh.

I have to say the f***-head count at Eagles matches is high. Usually middle aged women from the western suburbs who know f-all about footy.
This is what I copped at the Giants game:
* Every time Shuey got the ball it was a high pitched Shoooo-ee (like coo-ee). I can't describe how annoying it was. I assume you all have to put up with that shit at Subi. Even worse, some of you probably do it! tip: it's ****ing annoying.
* Every time Hurn got the ball on the bank flank: kick a goal Hurny!
* The customary whinge with any free kick paid against the Eagles or free kick paid to the giants
* And if that wasn't annoying enough, constant "we're the Eagles, we're the best, and you Giants are shit" type barracking all game
Really, really annoying.
And from a similar aged female Giants fan:
Every time a free kick was paid against the Giants or to the Eagles it was: "Seriously?". Even the most blatantly obvious free kicks it was "seriously?"
I had to put up with these two loud and obnoxious know-nothings all game.

Not being a member I don't get to many games, and when I do we sit amongst the opposition supporters behind the city end goals.
Last year at the Geelong game, I busted out the "Have a shot" for a few of Hurns kick outs. I thought it was mildly amusing, and got a few chuckles, but the Geelong neanderthal in front of me had a genuine crack at me... "How's he gonna kick it from there ******?" He got quite upset!
Guess I fall into the category of annoying things said....
I detest the "white maggot" call, but you don't seem to hear it much any more.

I'm sure it was funny the first time. But this lady had a catch cry for certain players everytime they touched the ball.
Never understood that one. Also don't get how people take note of the umpires name. I could name one or two and wouldn't be able to match names with faces.
At Swans matches 10 years or so back the crowd would do a "Perovic/Christou" sort of "woof" every time an umpire would do a boundary throw in.
Really annoying. I mentioned this to my shrink he he said it got on his **** too.

Some umpires just deserve it. If I know the name of an umpire (let's just say, randomly, just picking a name here Dean Margetts
) I will know whether to be excited or upset at the selection of umpires for our game. Likewise, when a rubbish free is pulled out of nowhere, i can lean back and smile knowingly, accepting that #6 Dean Margetts (just hypothetically)is just doing his usual routine of making it up as he goes along.Hypothetically.

yeah like a hypothetical instance of bad umpire would be say someone marking the ball inside 50, goes to pick the ball up, then the hypothetical umpire reads it as head high contact and pays a free kick to the opposition

I'm no real fan of umpires but my shrink told me I'm better off ignoring who they are, what their names are, where they live etc.Some umpires just deserve it. If I know the name of an umpire (let's just say, randomly, just picking a name here Dean Margetts

I'm not sure but reading between the lines I think he's hinting that I best focus my energy elsewhere. Extrapolating I think he's giving me the green light to beat up people with hipster haircuts. Besides, I don't have to find their address to do that.
I'm not too bad at the games but when im at home i get absolutely wild at the umpires. Young people may get in trouble for noise pollution due to sound systems, my tirades against the umpires are on a similar sound level.
I love the theatre when it is clearly holding the ball, the crowd shouts BALLLL and the umpire runs in and gives the signal.
Maybe it's just more enjoyable from the Can Bar...

I like to yell ball.
That's because umpires love being the centre of attention, and especially love waiting a few unnecessary seconds before paying a holding the ball, to increase the theatre and thus the applause they receive for their decision. The louder the call for ball, the louder the applause that the umpire knows he will receive.
They are only human, and the louder the call for ball, the more we can exploit their weakness, for the good of the Eagles.

I recall a match early on in the 2004 season where someone said Trent Carroll will develop into a fine defender.

At Lockyer's 200th there was a bloke in the next bay that just did not stop hanging shit on Nicoski. Every time he went near the ball you'd hear "You're shit Nicoski" over the top of whatever noise the crowd happened to be making. Wouldn't have done Nicoski much good as the bloke was about three rows back from the fence in the pocket Nicoski was playing in so easily heard.
