Meet our Members - Kylie

We won't ask you your age but how long have you been a Melbourne supporter?
Since I was 11. Prior to that I was a Carlton supporter.
 
How did you become a Melbourne supporter?
My uncle (a Carlton supporter) used to take me to the footy every weekend to watch the Blues. That was until it was no longer cool to take your niece to the footy anymore (apparently girls were more important). My Dad was just waiting in the wings and pounced on the opportunity and started taking me to Melbourne games at the G. Before I knew it, I’m asking Dad for a Robbie Flower badge and there I am, wearing a Carlton jumper with a Robbie Flower badge pinned to it. The Carlton jumper didn’t last for long after that. I asked Dad for a Melbourne jumper with the number 2 on the back and the rest is history.

How long have you been in the cheer squad? And what made you decide to join?
22 years. My family and I became members due to the harassment we received at a finals game against the Bulldogs in the early 90's.

​
Craziest thing you've ever done for the Dees?
Called in sick to pick up our 2000 Grand Final tickets. My boss just laughed at me as he knew exactly why I wasn't coming into work. I definitely had to make up some hours for that one.
