Meet our Members - Sandra

We won't ask you your age but how long have you been a Melbourne supporter?
Proudly 65yo and a 15year member of both the MFC & DA.

How did you become a Melbourne supporter?
I decided to join my younger sons Joel & Damon, who barracked for Melbourne, to a few games with my bro Steve (who supports the Swans but he was being a kind uncle and taking them to some games).

How long have you been in the cheer squad? And what made you decide to join?
15 years – After a few games watching from the nosebleed sections, the 3 of us joined the DA and sat with friends who had been members for a long time.

Favourite current player?
Sorry – it’s a triple whammy – Gawn, Viney & Oliver.

Favourite Melbourne player ever?
Nathan Jones

Favourite game?
It has to be the one I watched from the couch on 25 September 2021.

Greatest player ever? This can be from any club. 
Nathan Jones
 
Highest point in your footballing career
Crying on the couch after our 2021 Premiership WIN!
 
Lowest point in your footballing career
When I rolled my ankle the day before a planned footy trip to Brisbane and couldn’t go.

Any football superstitions?
I stress when I don’t have the “My Heart Beats True” placard to hold during games.

Craziest thing you've ever done for the Dees.
​Answering the door on 24.9.2021 to a COVID-safe “Demon” who handed me the “My Heart Beats True” placard.
