Turn your phone lights on when the lights go out and help us make JCA shine!
Join in the Harcourts Holler by getting on your feet at the start of every home game.
We stay standing until the opposition scores.
When a Melbourne United player blocks a shot we all say "NO".
When the opposition is shooting free throws, be as loud as you can!
Keep an eye out for the ENGIE noise meter. Let's see how loud we can be!
Bring us home at the start of the 4th quarter, get as loud as you can and bring us home thanks to Simonds Homes!
