2nd Update-The Roooooooo chant is starting!!

Milan Faletic · Tue 30 Mar 2010 12:47am

Saint Bev mentioned it this week and I suggested it a couple of years ago.

And Belfast Saint suggested Rooee like cooee.

I think every time Roo gets the ball we should chant,

"Rooooooeeeeeee"

Let's drown out those opposition plebs.

IT'S TIME.

In Round 2, the Rooooooo chant was audible, so let's keep it up. It was exciting.

Rhymes with "Booooooooooo"

Nah.... sounds too much like a dry retch.

What about Rooooooeeee based on the Aussie Cooee shout ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooee

That would sound great, especially if everyone could do it in tandem for maybe 3 seconds (when he marks the ball or kicks a goal, etc).

As someone else mentioned, you don't want it to sound like "Boo" which it would if it was long and drawn out.

Most of these types of things do rhyme with Boo.

Roo
Cooooon
Kreeeeuze

I like the Roooooooeeeeeeee idea!

How about a simultaneous cry of
REEEEE - VOOOOOLT
with one finger on the left hand placed above the upper lip,
and the right arm and hand fully extended upwards at 45 degrees.

We could just cheer like we always have... and clap and sing the song when the players run out for that matter too.

If everyone does do that this week, just remenber it was my idea!

ralphsmith · Post: # 899036Post **ralphsmith** » Wed 31 Mar 2010 9:42am

Could we get someone holding some kind of placard that says

IMMORTALITY BECKONS

??

Organise that amongst yourselves.

Not a bad idea, markp, might just work. Although it amazes me when I am at the footy and I see people sit through a whole game without cheering once. I lose my voice every game even at home!!

I know what you mean, I cant be quiet when I watch the saints play, whether Im watching at home, the pub, or listening on the radio

Don't think everyone's going to go for this one for some reason

You want 20,000 people to all chant a two syllable word at the same time?

Have a think about that....

The reason Rooooooo works is it is one syllable, thus the effect and timing is audible and easy respectively.

It worked for Riccuitto......And its been happening with Roey for a while.

If you could get it in unison it would sound fantastic... but there would need to be some cue, like after a mark, or after a goal... Rooooo for 3 seconds and then the "ee".

20,000 saints supporters around a 400 meter radius in unison.....

High expectations I think....Pushing unrealistic.

Yeah, it would be pushing it. I've seen things on YouTube where a stadium full of English soccer fans are able to sing, so it's not impossible.

Milan Faletic · Wed 31 Mar 2010 8:13pm

I guess that why I suggested Roooooo. To drown out the Boooooo but I got shut down

So do both. It doesn't have to be the Boston Philharmonic Choir. As long as people do it. People might just join in for the eeeeee part. It will work and will make us smile which a good thing.

The Milney chant worked.

As far as one syllable, St Kilda has three and we seem to manage with that.

Was about to say the same thing.

Nothing will EVER EVER beat the "Gehriggggg" chants of 2004/05 at Telstra Dome.

When the G-Train was on song, it sounded awesome.
