Meet our Members - Janet

We won't ask you your age but how long have you been a Melbourne supporter?
About 35 years.

How did you become a Melbourne supporter?
Followed because my sister does. She was told by her grade 3 teacher she had to follow Melbourne to pass the grade.

How long have you been in the cheer squad? And what made you decide to join?
Joined in 2001 after sitting in the Bay next to the CS at the 2000 GF. It looked like fun. Left footy for 12 years, and came back in 2019. Still a number of familiar faces from way back when.

Favourite current player?
Jack Viney. Without a doubt, one of the toughest players I've seen.

Favourite Melbourne player ever?
Simon Godfrey

Favourite game?
2021 GF!

Favourite score was Round 4 1999 against Hawthorn, when Robbo punched the ball through for a behind to put us in front at the 32 minute mark. Most celebrated behind I've seen!

Greatest player you ever saw? This can be from any club.
Most electric- Jeff Farmer or Kozzy Pickett. When they're on fire, they're amazing to watch. 
For contributions to the game, dedication & tenacity- Jimmy Stynes

Highest point in your footballing career
2021 GF. Even though we weren't there

Lowest point in your footballing career
2000 GF. But at least I got to go to one.
​
Any football superstitions?
Wagging an index finger when opposition is going for goal.

​Knitting while watching a game at home. Still unsure how I didn't break any needles during lockdowns!

Craziest thing you've ever done for the Dees.
The 3 interstate day trips last year rate up there!
