How good did our cheer squad look today.... bigger and better. Please go back to a few years ago, and reunite as one , rather than 2 smaller ones. Not sure of your issues but time to move on !!!! You looked magic today.... better than Collingw&%$'s little pathetic cheer squad (compared to other years). Sadly you only had 2 qrts to look good.All those flying flags in the first half just looked impressive. :lol:

    Have to admit it did look prety good.

    On a sour note, there was a pretty full on punch up outside the ground between supporters after the game. When we exited the gate a lady ran up to the cops to tell them. It had been going for a while by the time we got near but as well as the blood and black eyes and kicking and fists we saw a kid sitting on the ground crying while all this was going on - just a terrible site. I don't know how it started but I think one of the guys getting bashed may have been the kids dad - just guessing though.

    according to the news, nathan jones' dad john was bashed when he was with his youngest son.

    disgusting and disgraceful news

    Yeah, I just saw that on tv and also the other thread on this site where I read the report just after my post above. I am just gobsmacked at it all. I genuinely hope that poor kid doesn't get effected by this experience and obviously hopefully Jonesy's old man can pull up ok out of this.

    Sorry to disappoint you True, but I'm not on the committee and cannot make any changes. I'm not exactly sure what situation you are talking about, although I do know of someone leaving and sitting elsewhere - if that's the case then surely they can sit where they want? The only thing that will make the cheer squad bigger is if more people join. I am already a member, so I've done my bit. If you know of someone who is interested - get them to ring the club and join.

    Ah, as far as I know that is a personality thing and I'm staying out of that one. Unlikely that it will be resolved by you or I.

    Sorry about that, didn't know there was another thread at the time.

    Back on topic of this thread I was pretty surprised at how good our cheer squad looked today (ground level I was on). It was a shame we didn't kick too many goals today because the red and blue haze of flags and scarvs etc looked worthy of a MFC promotional add on tv. Also for a Collingwood home game I thought their cheer squad was pretty tame by their standards - this is probably related to that sacking the cheersquad thing perhaps I don't know. Either way our cheer squad kicked ass from a visual perspective and made a fair bit of noise too - it certainly added to the feel of the game as I was at that end of the ground - well done!

    Was down with the squad, well one bay across, and they looked fantastic. I actually went up to level 4 in the shade after half time due to oncoming sunburn, and got to look down into the mass of flags - beautiful sight. I heard you all loud and clear from up there, i hope you all heard me :)

    Go Dees.

    I thought the amount of Demons support was disappointing. Although I didn't really expect us to out number them...

    I thought they had joined last week, behind the Punt Road goals the cheer squad looked pretty big

    I thought our supporters got behind the boys really well in the first half, when we get into it we're as loud as anyone.

    Just slightly off topic - I noticed the Collingwood cheer squad was slightly 'off centre' - not sitting in between the goal posts but behind the point area - it looked odd. I assume Collingwood sold the behind goal seats to other punters, but it just looks wrong! The floggers & flags should be waving between the goal posts, not just off to the side.

    I know Geelong do it too - they also stick the opposition cheer squad in the pocket rather than letting them occupy the other goal area - and that's wrong too.

    Don't these clubs know how things are supposed to be done?

    I was sitting next to the cheer squad at the Punt Rd end. I thought they looked great and were bloody noisy to be honest! It was terrific in the first quarter! They also kept the 'Melbourne' chant going all day, even when we were clearly going to lose. Hopefully they can get back to the glory days of the red seat area in the old Olympic Stand.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
