Grogsquad V Cheersquad

[LuKe2428]

Who is louder? Does anyone know the reason why they dont join together, If anyone knows if they could tell me it would be much appreiciated.

Has to be. I wonder what they would be loading.

 

[Mario Speedwagon]

Maybe he meant loaded? In that case it would have to be The Grog Squad, wouldn't it?

 

[hagansbull]

I can't hear either where I sit, Just the silly pr1ck that sits next to me.

 

[darcytiger]

I think he meant LOUDER but it can't be a typo because he did it twice, that is really how he thinks louder is spelt.... for the record the cheersquad due to wieght of numbers. But full credit to the grog squad for the work they do, doesnt matter if we are 10 goals up or 10 goals down they are still singing away.

 

[PHX]

I have no idea of the question let alone trying to to guess an answer.

Two reasons ....

1# - 14 year olds aren`t allowed to drink p1ss

and

2# - can you imagine 14 year olds singing ..."oooh east Melbourne , is wonderful ... oh easst Melbourne is won-der-ful ... its full of **** ... and FANNNY ... and RICHMOND ... oh East Melbourne is wonderful ...

or

" He`s gay ... he`s bent ... His @rse is up for rent ...JJAAAAAMMMESSS HIIIIIIRD .... JAMMES HIIIIIRD"

I think not

Grog Sqaud by far. There the only ones that bring the atmopshere to the Richmond end, love a home game at the dome cause the noice from them sounds 10 times louder!


And they dont join together cause you cant drink alchole in the cheer squade bay. Another stupid AFL rule.
Its like Ports Outter Army they sit on the wing slightly so they can drink and sing at the same time. But the grog squade has been there for years up the back of the G, cants see that changing! Atmosphere would be nuts if the moved further down!

ohk thanks mate

 

[True Thylacine]

The Grog Squad and the Royal are both fundamental components to the complete Richmond experience. I feel the day and my journey across the big water is incomplete if I attend a game at the G and miss out on either. Neither however are suitable for the kiddies.

 

[smasha]

Too many Marcel Marceus on the wing.

Grog Squad are great.

 

[smasha]

East Melbourne is wonderful till it gets to Hawthorn then it is so full of shit.

Cheer squad for me. The grog squad are louder, passionate and what not but it annoys me that many of their chants are homophobic.

Well if you cant think of an inspirational or humorous chant without calling an opposition player's sexuality into doubt then it says serious things about your intellect.

FWIW My favourite chant is the simple but effective "Who, Who Who are We? We are the boys from the MCG. R I C H M O N D. What'll we do? Eat em Alive!!" which is amazing when done loud and proud, far more so than calling an opposition player gay.

Furthermore, who cares if, James Hird for example, is gay? He is an amazing footballer. He can sleep with all the men in the world and it won't detract from that, it has nothing to do with his football prowess.

And finally, odds are that there have been several Richmond players over time that have been gay. Given that they would have played even one game in the Yellow and Black, they have earned my respect, as we'd all kill for that.

But hey, you go keep calling opposition legends sexuality into doubt, Ill focus on the football, hopefully the people at the club are doing the same.

are you honestly offended by that?..did that irk you, everytime you heard it?....

if so...thankyou for taking time out from writing angry letters to the council about the diamaters of roundabouts
we should probably change the name of some players so as not for any sexual connotations to be drawn to eh
in fact from now on you are only allowed to chant,yell or sing if it is praising a player, nothing negative can be said about them at all

and if your problem is with the chants calling sexuality into doubt may i even be so bold as to ask, what would your reaction be if J Hird was gay and the chant was the same?



oh won't someone think of the children....

go back to writing letters to tv stations asking for gordon ramsay to be removed from our screens

To answer your question, I am not offended by it because such homophobia is everywhere, in particular footy clubs. If I was to be offended by it every time then it would cause me alot of grief. However, if someone is particularly offensive or petty then I will fire up, I have several gay friends and they dont deserve to be abused for something that has no impact to the life of the person insulting them whatsoever. However, such cases are different issues.

To me, if you can't come up with a decent insult to an opposing team other than 'your gay' then it says alot about your intelligence. It has little to do with gay rights or roundabout issues as you say. Besides, don't try and tell me that you find these chants any better than the 'Who Are We' chant I mentioned, and they sure as hell don't do as much to sway the crowd and team as the 'Who Are We' chant anyways. Sure, if a player is a dog, or you want to insult them, fair enough, but at least do it on something that has even the slightest bit to do with football, as mindless homophobic insults will do nothing to offend them, particularly if the player in question has a wife and kids, like James Hird.

Finally, it comes down to why you go to the Footy. I go to support my team and watch a game of football. If supporting my team involves chanting in support, then so be it. If it involves an insult at the other team after an unsportsmenlike act, so be it. However I still enjoy watching the brilliance of another teams star, we both know that such brilliance is displayed more often than not against Richmond anyways. So whilst you might want to chant that 'James Hird/Nathan Buckley/Chris Judd/Whoever is a ****ter' after a miraculous goal or inspirational act, I much prefer to applaud them for it and go on watching football, commenting on football and cheering the Tigers on to an all to often rare win

LMAOOOOO Smasha ...

 

[roylandroos]

hey fellas.
i saw some grog squad videos on youtube just now and i love the way that they bring some new chants in footy.
better than the old crappy clap clap clap one that every team does.
if they cant sit in the cheersquad, y dont they move to the third level or something. They would be noticed more and more people would join.

 

[cogs24]

Grog Squad easily.

 

[smasha]

The cheer squad was louder in the old Southern Stand days because the cheer squad would sit up the top and below combined.

Was full of denim jackets and duffle coats.

Great old days.


When that cheer squad fired up,you could hear it from the other side of the ground as clear as day.

The sound generated under the roof was awesome.
Our cheer squad was the biggest back then and our banners were double the size of everyone elses.

Now we love mediocrity ,we have small banners and fans are scared of yelling anymore except for the wrong reasons.

The fall of a giant.

Few kids today would realise what Richmond meant back then.

WHILE dry areas are AFL sanctioned, I think the fact the cheer squad sit in a dry area is purely be choice. You have kids as young as eight in there and you can't have them subject to drunken buffoons, cursing and swearing and spilling grog everywhere. Even a guy who gets as trashed as I do most weeks at the footy knows that - and knows the right thing to do!!!!
On the subject of the cheer squad ...I spent parts of my youth sitting there (early to mid teens) on occasions and must say it was always superbly and professionally organised and run. I understand that a lot of the same "leaders" of the cheer squad from that time, the likes of Gerard Egan and David Norman are still running the show and a fine, fine job they do. They should be commended...I'm sure thay have a positive influence on many who have passed through the cheer squad. You can say it about a lot of cheer squads around the league, but a rabble the Tigers one aint!!!

I think ours probably still is the biggest.

No better sight than a sea of yellow and black behind the Punt Road goals.

THINK political parties could do well to take lessons from the ORCS (Official Richmond Cheer Squad).
Their efforts at recruiting new members were unrelenting, hence why we are still the biggest.
At the end of the day, both squads fill a need!
