I’ve been at plenty sports grounds where people keep talking through the anthem or other ways not respecting it.

I don't think there should be any anthems of any sort at any football game including national team games. It's all bullshit nationalistic posturing.

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.

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.
