Who is the guy on the Moorabbin Wing who starts the chants?

The guy with the glasses. Is he on the forum?

Every time Riewoldt got the ball was it BOO (from North supporters) or ROO (from us)?

On TV it sounded like BOO, until I remembered people were trying for a ROO chant. Didn't hear the "roo-ee" chant at all

The Roo chant has definitely started and I felt quite proud for pushing it.

I meant the guy who had all the songs for every player. He gets the crowd doing the St Kilda St Kilda after every goal and has a song for everyone.

It was loud on TV, so full marks for that.

Maybe try a slightly higher pitch though? Understandably men feel more comfortable speaking (chanting?) in a deep voice... but if "Roo" was shouted in the same way (holding the) "BALL!" was shouted then there would be a clear differentiation to booing.

What you were hearing on telly was not the Moorabbin Wing Battye.

The person who starts all those chants Milan used to post on here but hasn't for quite a while. He does a very good job of getting everyone involved.

Gotta love his knew chant, based on Elephants and sex.....was kind of weird and threw a few off guard!

) all night. Hope to be up there with you all for the Bulldogs game

Umm..that was a proposed one for Luke Ball next week..and you might ahve noticed got a prtty universal "thumbs down" hehe

Yep the chanter is Steve....he and his sidekick Ben (the short crazy fella sititng next to him) were the "inventors" of the Moorabbin Wing. It was their passion for a dedicated Saints area on L3 that started the whole ball rolling

thejiggingsaint · Sun 04 Apr 2010 1:15pm

And very knowledgeable about soccer and the EPL too...always asks me who have beaten Everton lately

I can still remember the days of 2001 & 2002 when we enjoyed ourselves up on level three with you guys.
Good on you Steve and Ben legends both! and of course the entire MW..you sounded awesome from where we sat!
Take a bow!!!
Hope to catch up at the victory room before the magpies game?
(unless I'm a no-show again

in which case I won't be there

)

Happy Easter to the Folks on the wing!!!!!

Dave

The reaction to the Luke Ball chant was funnier than the chant. A few embarrassed faces

Milan Faletic................ Steve is 'Sonof66' an origianl of this site when he used to post and most informatively I may add. And his sidekick Ben is 'Wizsteppa'.

I love catching up with Steve and Ben every time I get to the MW. Don't know if Steve has updated his Saints scarf as yet. If he is still wearing a rather ancient beer sodden one....... it is a very precious one.......... he knitted it himself when in primary school or so the legend goes.

And the honest answer would have to be "no-one"

Had to watch the North game on TV. You, Dave, were on in close-up for a couple of seconds!

It was indeed.

Can anyone please tell me what the chant was?

Maybe PM it if you can't post it!

I can't see how it could be below the belt if we are talking about Ball.

dals_da_bomb · Tue 06 Apr 2010 12:30pm

yes pm it to me to..!!

love a good chant

a little off topic but one of my favourites from the soccer is "what a waste of monneyy" always gets a giggle out of me.. perfect for Ball.

well done everyone for efforts at the Nroth game.

His parents are actually very nice and wealthy. And Luke is a well educated x - Xavier boy. He was the captain of the Firsts cricket team, and football team (beat his mate Jobe Watson to the job) Luke achieved a very high enter score in VCE and once his football carrier is over he will have a life and earn money, unlike many other AFL players these days who donâ€™t have a future after football.

We sat very close and most of the chants were corny and embarrassing.

The Luke Ball chant went over like a lead balloon.

Completely inappropriate to be bringing his mother's dignity into it.

Leave those chants for the Collingwood brains trust

Which is why it got the thumbs down.

Most of the chants are corny, but a lot of them are done for the kids in the area who like joining in. We even have a new convert by the name of Brandon who is all of 2 years old. Will be a Saint for life no doubt.

Oh we have a winner..that will get a run at some point I will make sure

Simple, relevant and G rated

Just need him to get run down and pinged by CJ on the Members Wing..we will go off

Just yell "Woof!" whenever he kicks the ball.

My wife reckons the 'chant leader' on L3 looks like the Gyro Captain from Mad Max 2 (Bruce Spence).

He's therefore simply "The Gyro" to us.

He looked a little like a robust Stephen Merchant (of The Office and Extras fame) from the lofty heights at the back of the MW.

My eldest thought he was terrific. Refused to go and sit with his grandmother among the clapping folk on Level 2 in case he missed out on some sort of cheering/clapping. I'm from the Easter Island school of supporting where I clap politely for the first 20 goals so it was nice for him to see the more animated types. Very excited about this week.

I reckon theres a bot of both Spence and Merchant now I think about it

As for you Mr Cowboy...a mutual friend and I have you pinned..as Chris Bailey from the Saints...circa 2010 I might add not 1977
