old demon me!!!

Yea i understand that and your right but she's 33 and has been with us from the start, i really hope she can get back it will be hard missing the first flag

Really bad luck for Mel bloody horrible ,we are going to miss her

BLOODY WRAPPED !!!! with this news about time ,never go back to white again .

What are you saying ? you pot him saying he does nothing then say we would have won if we had him play,you have a foot in both camps or in your mouth.

Really thought we would take Parish but very happy we took Clarry just adds to the hard midfield we have built , great hands and footy nous but best of all as tough as nails, loved the way he responded to the Cyril hit. Very happy with Taylor, has found footy players and i hope he is around for a long time to come.

Just had to drag the old coat and have a look , loved it , wish they still wore them added some atmosphere. The Victoria cheer squad was different with all cheer squads combined,was fun but not the same as your own team, no tribalism

Yea that was a great banner i think i remember that room had alot of junk in there and yea huge effort to take them home and bring them back on the train , hope you can put up some photos .

I think his name was Ed . Sorry read it wrong, Ed didn't lead i think that's Steve your thinking of , if that was in my time in the 70's

Great stuff guys i was in the cheersquad in the 70's as well, remember most of those guys now that names have been mentioned they were great days even if we didn't win that much. Some of my memories are meeting early in the mornings of gameday at the G to hang up the banners,having a little fire at the back of the old southern stand to keep warm some mornings,used to take home a banner sometimes to open it up during the week to help air it out and dry used to roll it out along the footpath always loved the MELBOURNE - MASTERS OF THE MCG . The cheersquad used to sit on the wing in the old southern stand , remember we played either Collingwood or Essendon cheersquad a couple of times and we won also the 1976 game at vic park, was so upset at missing the finals that year and a big fight in the field in front of the players race after the game the collingwood supporters were going off, Steve actually walked with me across the ground so nothing would happen to me, think i was about 14, good man ( still think Carlton lied down that day so we didn't make it !!! ) but also ripping up phone books during the reserves game to throw whenever we kicked a goal,the old duffle coat with Robbie"s name on the back and the old material cheersquad badges that mum had to sow on . I still have it, my son wore it to the merger match when i thought i would not have a team anymore , lots more i remember thanks for starting this thread so long ago but have brought back great times even if we didn't win that often and why i love this club so much . cheers guys

To the club and their program

Firstly i dont believe they are drug cheats in the Johnson,Armstrong,Jones,Powell way, they followed a club program in good faith and got it badly wrong does not mean they did it to cheat . The club is guilty not these players who have paid a very big price for being to trusting but now they have served their sentence and everyone deserves a second chance but i know you wont change your mind and thats ok but when they are playing well for us next year and the years to come i will be happy and all this wont even enter my mind but i suppose you will sit there and not enjoy the moments. Dont worry i will enjoy them enough for both of us.

Yes, yes you are !!! cant stand dees supporters who bag our own all the time, thats for the opposition to do, some people are never happy you hear it all the time even when we are winning they have to find something to have a go at , just enjoy the ride and as for Jake and Micheal now they have done their time so let it go. Oh that goes for all the players involved in this drama.

come on people enough is enough about the bloody drugs!!! either talk about what you think Jake can bring to the club ( on the field ) or just close the thread, by now we know everyones opinions on the whole saga so just let it go. No one is going to change anyones mind so just get over it , we will all be cheering when he does good things on the field and moaning when he doesn't just like every other player who pulls in the red & blue are we going to go through all this again when Hibbard joins ? Bloody hell as my wise mother used to say people who live in glass houses..........

Welcome back Jake hope you have a great career at the Dees ...that is all that matters to me
