Yep. Kids should be crying. It should make people uncomfortable, Essendon and opposition supporters alike.

Yeah, thatās cool and all.
And I can see why the audio is important for that.
But weāre talking about fan engagement, kiss the person next to you, and wave your scarf becauseā¦I dunnoā¦because itās half time? So thatās a good time to wave your scarf?
If you want to amp up the crowd, show some massive hits on the team weāre playing!
Or just us making them look stupid.
At the very worst it makes us feel better about being so far down at half time.

Well, I for one will only wave my scarf above my head when we beat West Coast. Thatās the tradition. Thatās the beauty of beating the Eagles.
Manufacturing a tradition is not the way it works. The rituals develop over time and have always been initiated by the fans, not followed because someone on a loud speaker announced āhereās a traditionā.

Agree with the sentiments about waving scarves and āmake a noiseā. It doesnāt work unless itās spontaneous and minimises the impact when it is. Do we actually expect the club to provide entertainment during the breaks? Iām not sure thereās anything wrong with analysing the game with the person next to you and taking a slash (often at the same time).
Respect to @Catherine_Lio for taking thoughts on board.

So youāre advocating pants off after a win then?! Very stallionesque.
Are we waving them or just wearing them as hats?

I think wear them on your head for the game and then wave them if we have a win.

This could be mentally scarring or quite enjoyable, Iām thinking more the former though.

The scarf waving is reserved for west coast and only west coast. That is all.
