Baloo I like that.

We link arms and start moving towards them till we are a feet away.

Love it.

Would the AFL fine us.

Man that would cause a barney rubble style stouch first up!
I remember a few years ago in the AFL Cairns comp a premeditated brawl was started during the national anthem. Was so bad, the GF result was declared void.

Yeah, been thinking of the best response. They have this thing about not moving first. Need to screw that up. Maybe arms still linked walk in a line straight to the Adelaide boys until we're nose to nose. Or bring the two RFC and of the line in to form a circle. Or we just ignore it.

Dunno. I'm more interested in using their "thing" to put them off their game. Not worried that it intimidates us.

By responding to their little soldier at attention thing we are falling into the trap of worrying about what they are doing.

Just do what we have for the past two finals. Link arms then run off to position and don't two flying *smile* what they are doing.

Link arms, point, and laugh at how stupid they look. Maybe someone could whistle the Power Rangers theme tune.

Who cares what they do. Just like the coin toss, winning the 'longest stare' competition doesn't win you the game. Just do what we have to do once that first ball is bounced.

Who cares what Adelaide do. Such an overblown load of tripe. The media will seriously hype anything these days.
Don't buy into the *smile*.

The points being missed. It's not what we have to do to respond to the challenge. They now have this mental trigger about not moving first. It is something they need to do. If we can find a way to take that away from them, get in their heads and make them feel they lost the first battle before even the first bounce, great.

Hell, I'd be wrapt with a Braveheart response, turn around and flash brown eyes at them just to make them think they lost the first challenge

Who cares what they do - it's not going to make any difference to the game.

We could do a wombles dance - wiggles maybe - each player turn up with Big ted and slowly rip its arm off whilst watching the opposition

OR slowly do a strip where they slowly remove their canary yellow top to reveal the traditional tiger top underneath.

Ignore them I say

Actually footy classified had a good suggestion. One bloke remains staring while the others go to warm up. See how long they stay in formation.

They stand apart so we could easily march or job between them, not engaging in anything untoward but symbolically breaking through their line of defence effortlessly.

I laughed out when I saw their coach in on it too on Friday night.

What a load of sh!te.

Ignore them and just keep doing what we've done the last two finals.

No distractions.

Or Dimma should just stroll over and *smile* slap Donny boy in the face, happy with either.
