Our People
|
It takes a surprising amount of work to run a cheer squad and we are fortunate to have some amazingly dedicated volunteers who keep the group running. Unlike many other AFL cheer squads, we are virtually self-sufficient and self-managed. This is thanks to the trust placed in us by the MFC and the pride we take in representing our club.
So who are the people who keep this group running? Ryan Sinclair It takes a special sort of person/lunatic to stand up and cheer when your team is 10 goals down and it's pouring with rain. That person is Ryan Sinclair. You'll find him at every single game, no matter where. (Yup, even that exhibition match they played in China). Ryan is the lone Melbourne supporter in his family and lives happily with his dog, Slater. In his other life, Ryan is a venue manager for Whitehorse City Council and also manages a promotion company called Slater & Swann. |

Suzanne Considine
Suzanne makes sure everything runs smoothly on match day and also controls the bulk of The Demon Army's social media. In a past life, Suz was a Richmond supporter and only followed the Dees to keep her husband and kids company. How ironic that she ended up being the most fanatical, travelling across the country for every game. By day, Suzanne is a pharmacist and is always armed with Band-Aids and Panadol for when the Dees are giving us headaches!
Sophie Galer
In charge of words and dollars, Sophie takes her skills with organisation, lists and budgets and does all the boring behind-the-scenes business stuff. She is also responsible for deciding what goes on the banner each week and writes the weekly email. Like Ryan, she is the only Melbourne supporter in her family, with the rest of her folks choosing to follow far more successful teams when they moved to Australia from the UK. Sophie works for the health department at the City of Melbourne and she is proud mum to a little boy who has inherited a love of the Dees.
