    Time to get our 'tribal' on. Now.

    We are closely following the year of Port Adelaide. Late in the year their members and fans started turning up in major numbers to get tribal again. The buzz in created for the players was the adrenalin rush of if porportions, and you could see the tribal and frenetic support was getting them into winning positions and willed them deep into September.

    It's time to invest like their people that. The VFL Grand Final was bloody tribal. The roar and tribal outcries lifted our players a gear and from a members perspective, made for an amazing and nearly spiritual life experience. We can do it, when we want.

    So if you want to be a part of a tribal experience, and if you want to use that to create the adrenalin rush for our players to win finals and create momentum. Then it's time get to the footy and build momentum. Port Adelaide's amazing run showed how powerful a large and passionate tribal crowd can be on winning.

    "If we come, they will build it". BT.

    Re: Time to get our 'tribal' on. Now.

    Can I make a suggestion?

    Get your sewing machine out, get to Spotlight and start making some banners to hang over the fence.CLegAicUkAAaJ4l.jpg
    Start decking your area out in RW&B. Get your kids to do it if the years have beaten it out of you. Football is ours, the Club is ours and the space is ours to take.

    Massive test this week.

    Saturday 2.10pm game, playing great footy, sitting 5th on the ladder.

    How many supporters will be there? I want to see no less than 30k

    Totally agree........although there will be a few less from our extended family. Bloody netball finals.
    I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

    I'm supposed to be picking my kids up at the airport at 5.35. I might be running a bit late.
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

    Being against an interstate club with a poor Melbourne supporter base, 30k would be a huge effort. I think if we get 23k plus we would be happy.
    More of an In Bruges guy?

    I have a game of footy to lose by 150 at the same time unfortunately.

    Would love to be there but have kids sport coaching duties. I think a crowd of around 25K would be a good outcome being against an interstate club.

    I've got two weeks off so it's my first game of the year(and I'll be back down for the Demons game too).
