Meet our Members - Kat

We won't ask you your age but how long have you been a Melbourne supporter? 
All my life

How did you become a Melbourne supporter?
My Aunty bought me a scarf, still not sure how she won the battle given one side of my family was all Swans thanks to a great grandfather playing there and a Mum who was a Saints supporter amongst Bombers.

How long have you been in the cheer squad? And what made you decide to join?
2008. I bought a reserved seat when I moved to Melbourne to meet other like minded people, not knowing I was 'allowed' to join the cheer squad. Sylvia Latta was the one who let me know I could and encouraged me to do so.
