Anyone noticed how many of our players barely crack a smile when they kick a goal? Beams and Swan are the main culprits and Blair is following suit, even Trav doesn't get overly excited anymore, just to name a few.
Celebrations are contagious, the energy goes through the whole group, the crowd grows a leg and you can feel the buzz, yet we have to be the worst celebrators in the comp.
Having such a young team shouldn't we be trying to create energy anyway we can? Shouldn't we be showing the rest of the side how much the goal meant to us, In turn creating more? Instead of the ole "yeah, been there, done that" attitude.

Actually mate, I was watching some old grand finals the other day, on dvd, the great grannies of the sixties. Back in those days, no matter how great the goal, there was very few celebrations after the player kicked it, no high fives no hugging, the player just gave a fist in the air,and that was it, no teammates hardly ran it en masse. Even that marvellous goal by our ray gabelich, in the 64 GF, which put us ahead, two mins to go, was very little celebrated, one of our guys, tuddy I think, just ran up to the big bear, and gave him a tap on the back. I don't know when or how all this celebrating came from,with goals, its ok, but sometimes a bit over the top.

Cricket was the same back in the day, not anymore though.

| The insidious infiltration of soccer culture into Aussie Rules footy. It has no place in our game. It will lead to other odious outcomes such as pitch invasions and the rise of 'Ultras'. |

I'm not talking about triple backflips with a double twist mate.

If you want undeserved celebrations- go follow Carlton |

What? You mean like Harry's fist pump after his goal that brought the margin back to 50 something points on the weekend?? 
Actually, in a way I think you do have a point there Defender. A couple o high fives or bum taps can help lift one's psyche. A goal can help players feel good about themselves for a little while (which is one of the reasons it still bewilders me when someone sprints to the bench for a spell after kicking a nice goal).
Having said that, nothing too over the top; not a fan of OVER celebrators. Stephen Patterson anyone??

I'd do a lap of honour if I kicked a goal for Pies!

Say you're a young kid playing in our back line, you're involved in a scoring movement, the goal kicker just gives a high 5 or 2, doesn't smile or show any passion, doesn't make an effort to acknowledge the hard work done up the field to create the goal, how would you feel?
Now say they made a semi big deal of it, acknowledging everyone in the chain, would that make that young back-mid walk taller during the next contest? That is what I'm saying, we don't do that, at least not enough, passion is contagious, instead we have Elliot and Beams who don't seem excited enough to give a bloody high 5, it's a team sport, unless you take the ball out of a centre bounce and kick the goal without a Shepard the goal isn't yours.
Passion is what makes players walk taller, it creates adrenalin.

| It's up there with not signing the song with enough gusto after a win. |

It'll be just beside kicking goals, it's funny, I can actually tell who has and hasn't played footy reading this thread.

Basketball sucks. America sucks. High fives suck. Stupid celebrations suck. Compulsory celebrations of the kind Defender wants are exactly as motivating and inspiring as having to say you are sorry 'coz the teacher said you'd get detention if you didn't say it.
