Hey all,

I came across this video on Facebook and thought it may be of interest.

(Sorry for those that don't have Facebook - not sure how to make this vid accessible.)

This is absolutely awesome, and it's not happening in some far away Soccer league in Europe, nor in a partisan American football crowd. It's happening right here in Melbourne - and Victory is a club that's been around 10 years (founded 2004), ours is a club that's been around 150... 15 times longer, and we do nothing even close to this. Why?

Forget a pre-game song like Port Adelaide... what's stopping us from building this up as a (winning) post-game tradition?

Not a new idea. Been happening for quite some time in "far away Soccer leagues in Europe".

I am sure a lot of the soccer traditions they have - probably over 90% of them - are just carbon copies of what they do in England.

Isn't Carlton's post game tradition to sing the club song and not hold hands like they do in this soccer clip?

Perhaps the Carlton players can congregate near the cheer squad area post match get in a circle and sing the song out on the ground instead of in the changerooms?

Americans don't change their traditions for soccer, some would argue that Australians shouldn't change their traditions either for soccer.
