Richmond fans make more noise than a jet when Tigers booted early goal

JET aeroplanes make an incredible rumble, but even they are not as loud as the sound of a fully charged Tiger Army. WATCH and LISTEN as they made the MCG rock.

JET aeroplanes make an incredible rumble, but even they are not as loud as the Tiger Army in full voice.

The MCG shook on Saturday evening when Richmond made a pulsating start to its AFL preliminary final with the GWS Giants.

The Tigers fans gave their side an incredible reception as they entered the arena, and two goals inside two minutes had them nearing record levels.

“ ... we have the decibel metre out hovering around 120db,” Channel 7’s Cameron Ling reported at the quarter time break.

“It has landed at 122 db — just below a jet aeroplane — and just above the AC/DC and the Back in Black Tour, it was pumping.

“Trust me, these players will not be able to hear anything and communicate. They need to work together. But they can’t do it through yelling.”
