today's Cheer squad.. bigger and better

[True Believer 1]

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.

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.

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.

Can we keep this about the Cheer squad and deal with the other issue on the other thread? thanks.

BTW, full marks to the Cheer squad, I thought they looked very impressive.

Thank you all - we do try to keep the flags flying and speaking for myself I appreciate the positive comments.

please "Suzanne" please reunite back as one big happy cheer squad. Jimma has done so much for our club in such a short time and now we need a united cheersquad too. Loved you effort today.

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.

I know who you are talking about....now sits on level 2A but belongs down with you guys....BUT we are aware that there was a split a year or 2 back, and currently we have 2 cheer squads.!!!!. Not good

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.

[Suzanna 72]

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.
