Meet our Members -​ Sarah

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

How did you become a Melbourne supporter?
My dad and poppy were both big Melbourne supporters and still are, definitely think it was a brainwashing but never would change my team!

How long have you been in the cheer squad? And what made you decide to join?
Around 13-14 years, we had been sitting in the bay next to them for about 3-4 years before joining and they have always been a great bunch of people who included poppy and I since the very beginning.

Favourite current player?
Big Maxy

Favourite Melbourne player ever?
Aaron Davey and Jim Stynes

Favourite game?
2021 GF being able to spend it with my pop and see the look on his face when we won.

Greatest player ever? This can be from any club. 
Adem Yze and David Neitz

Highest point in your footballing career
Being able to go to all Melbourne home games with a rare interstate game all these years with my poppy is something so special.
 
Lowest point in your footballing career
2018 prelim in Perth and not being able to take my pop to Perth for the 2021 GF.

Any football superstitions?
None

Craziest thing you've ever done for the Dees.
​​Decided to do an 8-9 hour day trip to Perth in 2018 for the prelim with my pop, flew out early in the morning, watched the game in the boiling sun, lost, flew back home. Not an enjoyable day that's for sure!
