A message to the Cheersquad

[The Hulkster]

I had the privilage of sitting near the cheersquad at our first NAB Cup game against Melbourne at home. And by and large they are great, they make a fair bit of noise and generally do a great job.

But could you PLEASE stop the crap that goes on after we kick a goal. I think we all know what i am talking about. It goes like this.

Paul Champman kicks a goal.

Some bloke stands up and starts it...

Chappy Chappy Chappy

Oi Oi Oi

Chappy

Oi

Chappy Oi

Chappy Chappy Chappy

Oi Oi Oi

Then they break into the good old standard GEELONG Clap Clap Clap.

This Oi Oi Oi business has got to stop. It is bad enough people doing the Aussie Aussie Aussie version.

I have seen the guy that does this. He is every bit of 60 odd years old. I think it is really shocking. That chant is past it you need something new. It is embarrassing for yourself.

I am not questioning his effort he really puts in but please give it a rest.

The cheersquad as a whole must find some new chants. They are doing the same ones they were doing 20 years ago.

LIFT!!!!

 

[stevie20]

U mean they cheered???

 

[couchy555]

I know what ur talkin about hulkster but i think, the more u try an change em, the louder they gonna get. But every team has supportes like that so is best just to live with it.

 

[Big Nasty]

They're nothing compared to those bogan Collingwood and Richmond cheersquads.

 

[someday-somehow]

I agree, I went to bali recently and everytime I would tell a local that I was Australian they would always say Aussie Aussie Ausiie oi oi oi, it makes me cringe everytime I hear it.

I think they could be a little more inventive

 

[CF]

the problem with the chant is that from the TV all you ever hear is the oi oi oi part because the first bit is yelled by a single person only. So it does sound a bit naff I agree. But the cheersquad do a great job normally. I especially like that guy who dresses up in the cat mask and gear...that is dedication.

is this the guy that goes to every game (afl and vfl), rain, hail or shine in nought but his geelong jumper and shorts??

Yeah, tha chant guy. He is a legend.

 

[Whiskers]

The guy who does the oi oi oi is Norm Richardson, he is actually a really good friendly bloke. There is some ok people but on the majority, that cheer squad sure does suck. Alot of them totally overrate themselves. Most lack personality for a cheer squad. Its full of dorks and over sensitive people. They need a fresh new younger looking cheersquad, some of em are too old 2 get on their feet, so they knit instead.

The oi oi oi needs 2 go.

Wow i seem 2 have an issue. Not as much as it seems lol

who would have thought that aussie stero-types would be formed in bali

did not get up close and personal with him to gauge the hair on his arms but was impressed with the guys balls 2 years ago at preston city oval still cheering behind the goals in just his jumper and shorts despite the fact the rain was belting down and the barometer would have failed to reach 10 degrees.

Forssy!
You spelt barometer correctly...........
Dobre!!

 

[SWISH15]

I'm not a fan of the cheer squad either. There chants are in my opinion very uninspiring.And ill never forget Leigh Colbert's first game against Geelong we were booing him when a women from the cheer squad yelled at me to shut up and have some respect for our former captain. ARE U SERIOUS?????

 

[TheTimeCometh]

That guy is Norm and he is a ********....

once at a Melbourne vs Geelong game it was pissing down the whole match...

so there were plenty of seats available behind the goals...


from like row 4 to the end basically..

so we sit about row 15 for about 20 minutes...

then this absolute tool (norm) comes running up going "this is for the geelong cheersquad"

so we said "we are cheering for geelong"...


then he is like "im going to get security"...

so from row 4-15 there were just empty seats...


NORM = A CLASS TOOL.

Yep it was this same guy last night going absolutely solo on the Oi Oi Oi chant. Mate its great you want to support loudly for the Cats but you look like an idiot and are embarassing yourself.

 

[stevie20]

I think he is the president of the cheersquad as well

 

[The Hulkster]

This is a good way to do it.

Simple but a bit different.

If anyone can put it up properly please do so.

Agree. The oi oioi chant is cringeworthy. The sheep who follow him are even worse.
Plenty to cheer about for you guys again this season, but this guy needs to be told 'You're embarrassing yourself.'
having said that, all clubs have their knob supporters. We have plenty

I prefer the unofficial cheer squad that stand in the outer behind the goals. They crack me up every time with their original chants and songs.
