Saad's case is separate to the Essendon case. Saad has a positive A and B test sample so has taken a banned substance. ASADA report findings, then the sporting body involved (in this case the AFL) decide what to do. He may get one year , he may get two years. If ASADA think the penalty is too light ...

[quote="evertonfc"]Chicken an egg. You criticise cheersquad, they criticise back. Been that way for, oh, say 20 years now? Personally, I'd wind down the cheer squad, and move towards an active supporters bay. You can still have those who have their moment in the sun of hauling up the banne...

Dont know about the Richmond cheer squad. I couldnt hear them due to the noise the 'non cheer squad' Richmond supporters were making in the GSS region. Wonder where our 'famous moorabbin wing' were. You know, those guys who always bag the cheer squad and say how loud they were at our winning games. ...

[quote="saintbrat"][b]Re Priority levels[/b] for your information I was informed by someone who contacted the club that the - ultimate, Priority 1 and Priority 2 is ONLY valid to registering for Grand final tickets a fortnight out from the Grand final- meaning that it is stretched across t...

I also spoke to the membership department this morning. Category 1 is social club with reserved seats on the wing on level 1 or seats on level 2. Social club with seats behind the goals on level 1 or reserved seats on level 3 or no reserved seats are all Category 2. If we make it to a Grand Final th...

Foundation social club membership was a marketing strategy to encourage people to pay for social club membership during those years when it was highly unlikely we would get to a Grand Final. It was 2009 before the anticipated Grand Final eventuated and at the start of that season social club members...

Like many above, I have been a social club member for about 20 years. Joined cheersquad at a later time and sit in cheersquad area. Got my renewal and it only has that I am 'Premium cheersquad'. This includes my social club membership but no indication of category 1 or category 2 or ultimate, just p...

I am tired of the ads about the Tiger army being out this Friday night. Where is the SAINTS army? Forget the cheersquad. They are less than 1% of the Saints supporters at the game. Richmond fans do not rely on their cheersquad (which is also less than 1% of their supporters at games). They rely on E...

[quote="thejiggingsaint"]If you're not happy with the Cheer squad, then JOIN US!!!!! and be a part of the solution![/quote] Totally agree with 'thejiggingsaint'. People complained so the cheersquad got changed. Now run by the club. You HAVE to buy a 16 game membership AND PAY $70 to sit in...

Essendon couldnt make a three hour bus trip and chose to fly because they have a 6-day turnaround before the next game against Sydney. This is only the NAB Cup which doesnt matter. In round 8 of the real season we play West Coast then have a three and a half hour flight back to Melbourne before a 6-...
