I don't mind for any kind of code NT games, I think thats appropiate for all, players and supporters, I like the patriotic aspect of it all.
Some show the emotion, I know I feel like that whereas some WGAF and have NO emotion, feel sorry for them haha
Local Club games, well generally all other comps don't have "finals" eh, first past the post is the true and deserved WINNA of the league.
Bit of a beat up finals for me and yer does it need the anthem when teams are local and all are aussies, well majority barring the few import players.

It might be crazy but what if people just showed respect to each other
 
ask that to the ones who are dis respectful.
Sadly as we move forward as I've been told for sometime seems respect what I used to know and brought up with has been going to the weeds.
I agree MCG but hey I'm just a ol stoopid young boomer the young gens think the use by date is done just like manners of old.
Take it up with them please.

Thats EXACTLY the purpose of one national team playing another national team though mate... Nothing wrong with a bit of national pride, just NOT when it goes to the extreme of believing that you are somehow better than someone else because of something you had absolutely NO SAY in achieving...

Ban all national anthems at domestic games though, even grand finals that shit is Fascist Yankee Doddle Dandy crap ...

Prefer the anthem by cold chisel, instead of being welcomed to country after having been born here & lived here for many many years.

One night watching the WC with mates (after of a few too many drinks), we came to the near unanimous decision that the anthem should be Hot Potato by the Wiggles. It's about nothing. It offends no-one. Every single person in this country actually knows the words. It's taking the piss of the whole anthem thing, and we as a nation love to take the piss. It's 100% Australian. It would completely throw off the opposition before a game. It would also humiliate the opposition when defeated. Just imagine the look on the faces of a silver and bronze medallist having to endure some dumb Aussie winning gold and busting out the Hot Potato moves on the olympic podium. And most importantly, it doesn't have the word "girt" in the lyrics.

ONLY if the players all agree to do the actions ... our version of the haka?
 
someguyjc said:
Absolutely. Get right up in their face with it too. The opposition will spend the first half of the game confused while trying to comprehend why that is our national anthem.

hahaha and hopefully most of the second half hungry, thinking about a nice baked potato... win win...

Big red car was a hit out my way from the Wiggles. Yellow wiggle Sam was my fave. More chance of me becoming a Wiggle than Canberra Cosmos doing a Lazerus.

Just going back to this. Do you feel the same about the npl clubs representing their countries? Because by your logic we shouldn't have any Croatian chants or Greek chants at the football if we can't have the anthem

That's where I was funny enough. Your team played poor that night.

yep. our final was against Brisbane Roar the week before at home. We looked gassed in the final, offered very little.

It took 2 penalties for Macarthur to beat us in the final. The better team won, but i could only imagine the celebrations if we took it home.

What an odd thing to say mate... Do Aleague fans ask for permission from the club and the federation regarding what they do or don't chant at the football??

You guys really ARE "football but NOT as you know it" eh?

BTW, interested to hear of any Greek chants at the football, I havent heard one in around 30 years I reckon and I go every week. Only foreign language Ive heard in the past few seasons is at Hume City but to be perfectly honest I cant tell if theya re chanting in Turkish or just have really REALLY heavy accents C'mon hooooooooooom 🤣 🤣 🤣

This guy brought up a national team playing without their national anthem so does that apply for the npl teams?
