When we start winning big games and generate genuine excitement the scarf waving will be fantastic.

Though we actually hate them.
The air raid siren sound was mint when it first started circa 2012. Just 10 seconds or so of a menacing and consistently loud siren before the players came out onto the ground. Then they completely ruined it by getting fans/ex-players to wind up a real siren for the ‘engagement’ which sounded awful and completed deflated the atmosphere.
Now we’re stuck with a Wolfmother or RHCP intro which has nothing to do with Essendon and actively takes me out of the football experience. The change in mood is jarring to say the least once our theme song kicks in. Is this player-driven? I can’t think of any other reason why we’d walk out to these songs. It’s crap.
TL;DR: Bring back the 2012 era siren. No music.

Just get Ice T and Body Count to re record ‘Body Count’s in the House’ as ‘Essendon’s in the house’ lyrics are good, just change ‘body count’ to ‘Essendon’ and the bit where he talks about ‘moose man’ etc. change that to some of our players names.

On the scarf-waving, this will forever fall flat until we are actually confident of beating teams and have some sense of pride back as supporters. The club trying to force it with “WAVE. YOUR. SCARVES!” won’t work while most of us sitting in our seats feel owed years of tough and exciting footy.

If that is too wordy, or hard to remember. There’s always this, just change body count to Essendon and BC to EFC

Its also a very specific tradition that related directly to beating West Coast. And it was done after we win, not just randomly before every game.

Just move the club back to the G.
Like the filth, 12-16 games at the G every year with 75-90k essendon fans chanting. Ess-en-don

Could be argued that it’s the worst strategic move by the club in 40 years

The challenge is to get everyone to do it (wave jackets). Whatever the act, the challenge to get everyone to do it is the same. However, the Jacket Wave is Essendon and that’s a great starting point to anything like this. I’d argue most other ideas would be less likely to succeed because I’d argue theirs no inherent link to Essendon. Therefore it would really represent us. Happy to be proven wrong though.
Then nothing will work for the same reason.
Just take Bay City Rollers’ Saturday Night, and 20 seconds before the bounce start pounding drums over the speakers while everyone shouts: E-S-S-E-N-D-O-N FIGHT! 4 times.
Bounce ball, win match, profit.
