I also don't have a bad word to say about him, i actually made sure i went down and shook his hand when i had the opportunity once upon a time at a Cats v Hawks game. We had a nice chat, he seemed genuinely passionate about the team and overall just a nice person. He did show me his array of offensive opposition team badges like the piss and poo Hawthorn badge etc on the inside of his coat and explained the outside is for Geelong badges the inside was for the offensive ones which i guess could be perceived as slightly mean, but all in good fun and i got a good chuckle out of it :).

Also, have i just not been listening hard enough, or has there been less of the for eg. Stokesy Stokesy Stokesy oi oi oi this year? Maybe the crowd has just been loud enough at times to drown it out?

I met Catman down in Castlemaine one time and agree he is very nice. Has a big Geelong logo which he wears on a necklace under his shirt rapper-style.

Also in regards to the 'Stokesy Stokesy Stokesy Oi Oi Oi' chant, I'm pretty sure it still happens after every goal, although it's now 'Stokesy Stokesy Stokesy Goal Goal Goal'. I think 'Teach' brought that in! I wonder how many meetings it took to get that motion approved.

Congratulations to Catman (if he is on here) and his efforts to transform the Cheer Squad into something much more visually appealing. Unfortunately his efforts haven't been appreciated by all. Those morbid (I just sit in the Cheer Squad for a cheap seat) oldies are furious because it blocks their view of the ground for thirty seconds. Unfortunately they will probably hang around for another season if they start building the new stands next year. Hopefully after that they can get rid of all the dead wood and turn it into a real "Cheer" squad, and not just a cheap seat area.

(waits for Jub Jub to have a go at me for bagging the Cheer Squad)

Catman made the transformation? Is there evidence of this? I'm a bit sceptical, because the CheerSquad is run as a committee. Would be interested to know who gave the accolades to Catman?

Erm... at the Sydney game, a mother and (adult) son were sitting next to me and we starting chatting as the game went on.
Mum: What's up with our cheer squad? They're not making much noise.
Son: Maybe they need to go to cheer school?
Me: Don't get too ambitious. I think school-school might be a good start.
Mum: *cuffs me over the head* THEY ARE PILLARS OF THE COMMUNITY!
*son laughs*

(ps - agree with OP, well done)

The players call our CheerSquad 'The Veggie Patch' :oops:

Catman actually upset a few of the powers that be in the Cheer Squad.
To allow the big flags back, he was supposed to have begged to them and then they would then beg to the Geeloong Football Club who would then beg to the AFL.
Instead Catman put on a suit and tie and went straight to the top.
Every Cheer Squad in the AFL has benefited. They can all wave real flags instead goal umpire sized ones.
For those that don't know, Catman is the son of 1963 premiership full back Roy West.

When did he do that newsc? + are you actually Catman? ;)
The story I heard from Catman's mouth that he started waving a flag with "And Geelong Wins Again" + was told by the Club to get rid of it because it was considered arrogant + not the 'Geelong way'. Then some of the old ladies complained because they couldn't see + Catman agreed to only wave his flags when goals were kicked :thumbsu:
But who is spreading this propaganda about Catman + the whole AFL benefiting? o_O

Why do you wish to kick fellow Geelong supporters out of their own seats? There is a variety of reasons they may want those seats like a) they are cheaper - being old doesn't mean life is easy b) attachment to the seats and the outer or c)its where they like to sit!

Why are you classifying supporters who may have supported the club for 40-60 years (depending how 'old' these people are you speak of) as 'deadwood?' They have had the opportunity, luck or whatever you want to call it to watch many more great players grace that ground than you or I. Yet you deem them 'dead wood' because some want to flap about with large flags? An explanation would be great :thumbsu:

I had an old guy (75+) sitting next to me who kept commenting on Dangerfield and Motlops bright shoes. "What are they thinking?" he asked me. "Proper footballers like Peter Riccardi always wore black shoes when I was growing up" I replied. He nodded in agreement. It was the highlight of my day.

Sure, the cheersquad does look prettier in those two quite convenient side-by-side photos you have posted, but I fail to see why you need to have a dig at the old guys? If I had to pay money for a seat, I also wouldn't want my view disrupted constantly.

Not to mention having to listen to Catman abuse our players + constantly call them "campaigners"!!! Catman's language at the footy is appalling!!! Just read his diatribe on his Facebook page about how the whole of the AFL didn't stop when his father died + he didn't see why it should stop because Phil Walsh died :oops: :( I have some friends in the CheerSquad who said that Catman was hauled over the coals by Brian Cook last week + told to pull his head in, to behave with some decorum, or he'd be booted. That's why I'm questioning where the story that Catman has transformed the CheerSquad came from ???

On the positive side, Catman is wonderful the way he kicks the footy around with kids at half time, poses for ages with people for photos, gets on radio + speaks about the CheerSquad.

I agree with you Van_Power, those older people were the ones who stood on the jam tins at KP every Saturday, who've followed the Cats for the 44 year drought between flags + I think they've earned the right to those seats - paying memberships year after year for decades. They're also the ones who religiously go to VFL games + have an amazing knowledge of the Club, players + a devotion most fair-weather supporters can only dream of.
 
I think the cheer squad in general should be applauded for their volunteer efforts at every game.

They get out there and do it.
Of course, I know nothing of the politics, clicks and chest thumping.

Go Catters
 
Who knew there were politcal divisions amoungst people in a cheersquad?
Agree with the general sentiment of this thread - not my cup of tea, however have noted how he gives up a lot of time for photos etc.

Having some friends in the CheerSquad the stories they tell would curl your hair lol
 
To each their own. Let the bloke do his thing. And what he does he does it well and with passion.
