Meet our Members - Sharleen

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

How did you become a Melbourne supporter?
 I can’t remember. I think I just liked the colours!

How long have you been in the cheer squad and what made you join?
I came and sat with the cheer squad for just one round and decided from that moment to join and get involved. 

Favourite current player?
Max Gawn

Favourite Melbourne player ever?
Garry Lyon and The Wizard

Favourite game?
Melbourne Vs Essendon June 2014 and winning by 1 point. I remember being on the edge of my seat when Christian Salem marked the ball with about 2 mins on the clock and kicks a goal. 

Greatest player ever? This can be from any club. 
Nathan Jones. I loved how much he wore his heart on his sleeve for the club. 

Highest point in your footballing career
Winning the 2021 Grand Final. Having only given birth 8 weeks before hand, Melbourne started to win when she was up for a feed. I decided to keep her up until the final siren! 

Lowest point in your footballing career
The darkest times the club went through and how disheartened the club seemed.

Any football superstitions?
I won’t wave a flag.The times I have, we have lost horribly. 

​Craziest thing you've ever done for the Dees.
Sitting out in the pouring rain and the freezing cold. I think it was 6 degrees at the G and I cheered them on.
