Complaints have been made by supposedly some of our members about our grog squad. What a disgrace! Richmond people putting the knife into Richmond people. Dogs act for mine. The grog squad are an entertaining part of the footy, if you dont like it rack off and sit somewhere else. Betraying your own support group is nuffin but a mongrel act that has now seen a decision made that there will be some sort of crackdown on the grog squad. JOKE ... A COMPLETE stuffen JOKE! The people who complained should hand their memberships in and go support someone else. Idiots.

100% agree.
150% agree. Lets wrap society up in cotton wool.
If there isn't a place somewhere at the footy that you can let ya hair down then it's a huge shame. Go to England and sit in an EPL crowd when they shout out to a John Terry you a ####. EVery 10 seconds.
Was disgutsed with SEN they voiced this story directly after the story about the bashing at Etihad after the Saints v Tigers game. Deliberate or not, made out that the Grog Squad behaviour and bashing were related
Pathetic.
-
I don't sit with any squad, but I 200% agree. There are literally thousands of other places to sit. Tossers.
-
Betraying your own people is the worst thing you can do. The people who have done it should pee off and go support essendon or carlton or whoever else they want. We dont need supporters like them. If any of these clowns have done it and they read this site and these thread - do us a favor and stuff off. Your Not Richmond and Your Not One of Us!

So how much should people have to put up with?
Are you saying families are not allowed to go to the footy without having to put up with vile language? are you saying it is right that if you ask people to tone down the language you should have to face a barrage of abuse?
Bigger issue for mine is the ground security who do nothing when people complain and I mean NOTHING!
After my own episode last week when a moron threw a cup of beer in my face I will admit my view has changed some what. My tolerance level to these sorts of things is at an all time low?
I also appreciate I'm probably in the minority but have a cup of beer thrown in your face by "one of your own" and you may understand where I am coming from

Common sense dictates don't sit near the grog squad if you have the kiddies with you, or are offended by language.

Bit hard not to sit near them when you've bought a reserved seat in that area
And BTW the articles was there's been complaints but doesn't say they've all come from RFC supporters

Standing area behind cheers squad = grog squad. It's not that hard.
Not that I agree with what happened to you. That was a disgrace even for the grog squad
-
I had to walk through the grog squad area last week
Scary stuff
Problem mighten be with the Grog Squad but the drunken "" hangers on "' that were going off there head
This is a serious accident waiting to happen
Last week wasnt good. :(

Can I stress want happened to me laset week had nothing to with the grog squad
But I bought reserved seats one year for the Dreamtime game and had no choice in the seats and ended up near the grog squad. At the game a bloke with 3 small kids asked then to tone down the "F" bombs and he then copped a tirade of abuse while MCG security stood there laughing. Cops came and removed someone from the grog squad but it got worse once they left

Hold on a tick
What about innocent people that have to walk to the exit points only to have idiots going off there head F this and F that.
Got no issue with singing songs , but when you get drunken imbeciles who cant stand up getting involved, something has to give

Reckon you make a great point about the "hangers on".

I miss the good old days. The women and children should stay home if they don't like what they're hearing. No one in the crowd deserves to be abused by a drunk or any other person but fair dinkum....The things we complain about these days. As long as there's no racism, fighting and people getting beer thrown at them (classic :lol) then I like it. Every moron gets their say when they pay for their ticket
Some bloke having a bit of fun - "Good kick Juddy you overpaid stuffwit!"
Annoying woman sitting near said bloke - 'ohhh, that comment offends me and my children can hear you! Please keep it down, little Toby is only 4 and he shouldn't have to hear you!'
Stay home and watch playschool then you bitch.

Never ever had a problem with the Grog squad.
They are a part of the rich tapestry that is the modern game of footy.

Never watched an M rated movie without being terribly offended?
Part of life mate. Nature of the human race.
Don't have to like it, but if you want to complain about it do it from the comfort of your mates Mt Buller chalet over a fluffy duck and a velvet glove.

It's is very obvious by certain posts that alot of you haven't fathered children
I look at the spectators that sit in front of the area concerned and there is a huge numbers of supporters that are kids and well under 18

Thought you were blocking our posts tough guy?
Irrespective, it's very obvious that certain parents over protect their kids thinking they will therefore grow up to be model citizens.

Yeah fair call, but I'm talking in reply to Flags' mention of sitting near them. There are always going to be isolated incidents and has nothing to do with any particular groups other than some people are just eff wits.
This reminds me of about 6 or 7 years ago with a couple live music venues that had separate drinking rooms/floors. There was a period where a string of complaints were coming through saying that a bunch of bands were too offensive (we're from the extreme heavy metal scene) and the punters were typically non-sociable types. The request was for our sorts of bands not allowed to be played there at certain times. Despite complaining in the local street beat newspapers and such, the club owners ended up telling these mobs to eff off and drink somewhere else.
The moral of the story was if you go to a particular kind of place then expect the chance of running into a particular kind of behavior. In this case, it's tens of thousands of individuals with different backgrounds and values spectating professional sport in the evening where alcohol is served. Personally, I've never had an issue. It's unfortunate for WP that he had to be the victim of an isolated case. It's where the security and supervision needs to be stepped up. If it were me I'd of just punched the prick. But that's also why I don't drink at the footy.

Fair enough. Respect to you 8)

I don't sit with them, I take my young daughter to the footy but I am disgusted people from our own club have knifed em. They should be effin shot.
I love their chanting and look foward to it each time I go, in fact was thinking about it earlier today.
If your against it then sod off we don't need wimpy wankers complaing, they're probably fair weather suppoerters who only come out once or twice a year. And in saying that were not happy with the gs chanting " no means no" last week.
Do we ever hear about collingwood supporters dobbing in their supporters about the putrid language they use?? Even their child supporters say things I would at the footy.
As for the guy her threw a beer at WP, what a wanker. That kinda stuff is just stupid and disrespectful

my 4 daughters and i have always sat near the grog squad, and they love singing along with them, esp after a win, have a laugh, never ever have they been scary or threatening
jackstar must wear a skirt if he thinks they are scary lol, my kids are not even scared of them
best unofficial cheer squad in the world

Ring Damien Hardwick or any member of the footy department during the next week and ask them what they thought of the performance. Youll find they werent overly happy either. The defensive side of the game was non existant and they werent happy at all with that part of the performance. I just tell it how I see it, last week was not a top notch performance as so many of our supporters have suggested. I support the Grog Squad.
-
Man I remember the original Grog squad, anyone remember Chat "Stick it up em"? Must be dead haven't seen him for years.
There's still a couple of old faces and the new breed have kept it up well, been around a looong time and there hasn't been too much trouble considering their longevity.
Think it's the bandwagon effect, as we improve we are gunna get more of these hangers on that just come to join the gravy train and don't really get the unwritten rules!
Lol Unwritten rules - Yeah right :rollin
Everyone has their own way and I'm not one to correct but I don't see the point in shielding kids from the "Real world" they are gunna have to face it some stage, but if you don't like it get your reserved seats elsewhere.

BJ these guys have been going to the footy for years. For years they have shown up rain hail or shine - when we were crap. And now we have some supposed Richmond supporters who have probably only started supporting us again in the last 6 weeks who have gone to the footy and decided that those bad boys in the Grog Squad should be dealt with. ITS A stuffen DISGRACE! People who rat on the Grog Squad should hang their heads in shame. Do us a favor - pee of Idiots. We havent needed you over the last 20 years and we dont need you now you wankers.

everyone rock up with a KEG.
There is always clowns at the football
its just an unfortunate accident if you
happen to encounter one.

Agree OP.
Well said mate!
Grog squad do alot for the club that we don't see.
Love em!

The grog squad are fantastic, what's all the fuss about? Although I never drink at the footy myself, I love joining in with their songs and chants after a stirring win. The atmosphere they generate is the best.

Honestly turn it up society...
Where is the line? What words in the language are over that line? What about people who shout out "Geez Geez?" is that too offensive to religious people? Can I bang the empty seat in front of me when the umpire makes the wrong decision or is that offensive as it models aggression around children? How about snide remarks to the opposition "Get a hair cut Dahlhaus" - modelling bullying, ahh lets ban that too. Lets wrap society up in cotton wool and watch the football like robots.
Where do you draw the line? People will complain that people burp or pass wind at the football in a few years.
Language is language, kids will learn it eventually, life goes on. If its honestly the end of the world that someone can't handle it move to an area without it or watch it from the bubble that is your home where kids will be safe and sound from all the bad language that will turn them into serial killers. Better yet section off areas as family area where is a dry area and swearing is a ejecting offense.
I don't condone acting like a lunatic at the footy but if I had kids and was forced to sit near lunatics, it'd be a perfect example to show them thats what a blubbering idiot looks and sounds like.

Is there actually any evidence that the 'dobbers' were other Tiger supporters?
It's a big coincidence that Jack kicks 8 goals meaning his chant (which has been sung at every game after every goal of his) would have got a decent workout all night and that we were playing against St Kilda where the same chant mocks his cousin Nick as a crybaby.
There's no doubt we've got the best Riewoldt
There's no doubt we've got the best Riewoldt
There's no doubt we've got the best Riewoldt
and he doesn't stuffing cry!
Sounds more like the dobbers would've been sore-loser Saint supporters. They are some of the worst around from past experience especially if you make any comment about one of their players yet they love mouthing off at the opposition ::).
I think Jackstar and others have hit the nail on the head about newbie hangers on being the most likely source of any trouble. It happens in the Soccer as well. Little and not so little punks who think chanting with the big boys is an excuse to get off their face saying the f-word and worse every 10 seconds and acting like total tools spoiling it for everyone else. Regulars who go every week normally know where the boundary is and often talk to the authorities in charge (mind you Etihad security is often a joke so I'm not surprised by WP's experience with them). Anyway with the grog squad's chants there's swearing but whenever I've stood up the back (4 times this year) in the bay near the grog squad there's never been abuse toward other supporters from the regulars I know there. Quite the contrary as usually after a goal everyone is high 5-ing, jumping up and down and even hugging one another with joy :lol. On the rare occasion there's been an issue, it's usually some hero no one knows or has seen before whose smashed and rocks up late in the game alone giving his unwanted opinions. They don't last long as they aren't welcome. Most of the time the clown is an opposition supporter too. Two Hawk fans sitting in a Richmond members area next to the cheer squad looking for a fight were each escorted out of the ground by 8 MCG security guards two weeks ago.
Anyhow there's a massive difference between some swearing and banter now and then towards those out on the green turf and being violent bashing innocent people or throwing beer in their faces. The news reports stupidly give the impression it was those chanting behind the goals that were the cowardly thugs in the lift. The thug from Jan Juc has been arrested thankfully. He should be banned from footy for life and thrown in jail. We don't need morons like that roaming the streets let alone at the footy.
-
Devils Advocate here......I sit in front of the GS every time I go to the footy with my boys and although their lyrics sometimes seriously lack comedic content, most of the songs add to the colour and movement of the day. But...... when they swear, they are just leaving themselves open to official scrutiny and will eventually be banned........soooooooo, get Mick Molloy to work on the lyrics and delete the 'F' word...........problem solved.

This isn't solely about the language & the swearing it is also about the borish behaviour that goes with it.
Behaviour I might add that doesn't necessarily come from the "real" Grog Squad but those "hangers on" that people are talking about.
Get a few beers into some people and they get aggressive and it isn't pretty. No one should have to put up with being threatened & abused at the footy because some moron thinks its funny and wants to big note themselves in front of their mates.
I really wonder if people would change their view if they were actual subjected to it. It is completely different when you cop it believe me.
And just on you idea about section off areas as family area where is a dry area and swearing is a ejecting offense. MCG does that already and guess where one of the areas is? One bay around from where the Grog Squad stands. Would think that is plain stupidity by the MCG.
-
Sorry but with so many problems in the world.......I just think we all need to get some perspective.
It is what it is. It ain't always pretty, but we've got food in our tummy, a house, a car, a job, a healthy family who hasnt been killed, bar the odd 0.00001% incident our life isn't seriously threatened.
More chance of getting hurt or killed on the way to the game via a car crash than at the game.
Take pity on those who cross the line, be the better person. Move on. Enjoy the game.
First world problems......

BJ these guys have been going to the footy for years. For years they have shown up rain hail or shine - when we were crap. And now we have some supposed Richmond supporters who have probably only started supporting us again in the last 6 weeks who have gone to the footy and decided that those bad boys in the Grog Squad should be dealt with. ITS A stuffEN DISGRACE! People who rat on the Grog Squad should hang their heads in shame. Do us a favor - pee of Idiots. We havent needed you over the last 20 years and we dont need you now you wankers.
This is coming from a dude who rags out on his club every time he posts with a sig that implies we are perpetual rubbish :wallywink
Is that the best comeback you got :lol
-
Mail is that it is a directive from the RFC to address the issue which they have by notifying the MCG etc
Honestly what I seen last Friday Night.this is an accident waiting to happen
-
Jack it seems loutish and drunken public behaviour is being targetted by Governments across the board...And about time too
-
As I have said previously.no issue with supporters singing and having a good time.last week was extremely poor .spoiled my a very small minority.it wasn't a good look
-
Man I remember the original Grog squad, anyone remember Chat "Stick it up em"? Must be dead haven't seen him for years.
There's still a couple of old faces and the new breed have kept it up well, been around a looong time and there hasn't been too much trouble considering their longevity.
Think it's the bandwagon effect, as we improve we are gunna get more of these hangers on that just come to join the gravy train and don't really get the unwritten rules!
Lol Unwritten rules - Yeah right :rollin
Everyone has their own way and I'm not one to correct but I don't see the point in shielding kids from the "Real world" they are gunna have to face it some stage, but if you don't like it get your reserved seats elsewhere.

Two of the best posts ive read on any forum :cheers :bow :thumbsup :gotigers
-
Ramps, you became a troll in the off season. Your sig sums you up and your real thoughts. Not about comebacks troll boy.

I just stick up for our supporters unlike people like HRT who sticks the knife into fellow Richmond supporters and then he calls me a troll :lol

Im telling the supporters who knifed the Grog Squad to go support another team. Either stick up for Richmonds Grog Squad or go somewhere else. The Grog Squad have been around for years some of these jokers who are complaining have been around for 5 minutes. Its just disgraceful IMHO. Seriously the MCG has 100,000 seats you dont have to sit near them if you dont want. I support the Grog Squad.

Honestly turn it up society...
Where is the line? What words in the language are over that line? What about people who shout out "Geez Geez?" is that too offensive to religious people? Can I bang the empty seat in front of me when the umpire makes the wrong decision or is that offensive as it models aggression around children? How about snide remarks to the opposition "Get a hair cut Dahlhaus" - modelling bullying, ahh lets ban that too. Lets wrap society up in cotton wool and watch the football like robots.
Where do you draw the line? People will complain that people burp or pass wind at the football in a few years.
Language is language, kids will learn it eventually, life goes on. If its honestly the end of the world that someone can't handle it move to an area without it or watch it from the bubble that is your home where kids will be safe and sound from all the bad language that will turn them into serial killers. Better yet section off areas as family area where is a dry area and swearing is a ejecting offense.
I don't condone acting like a lunatic at the footy but if I had kids and was forced to sit near lunatics, it'd be a perfect example to show them thats what a blubbering idiot looks and sounds like.
This isn't solely about the language & the swearing it is also about the borish behaviour that goes with it.
Behaviour I might add that doesn't necessarily come from the "real" Grog Squad but those "hangers on" that people are talking about.
Get a few beers into some people and they get aggressive and it isn't pretty. No one should have to put up with being threatened & abused at the footy because some moron thinks its funny and wants to big note themselves in front of their mates.
I really wonder if people would change their view if they were actual subjected to it. It is completely different when you cop it believe me.
And just on you idea about section off areas as family area where is a dry area and swearing is a ejecting offense. MCG does that already and guess where one of the areas is? One bay around from where the Grog Squad stands. Would think that is plain stupidity by the MCG.
Forgive me if I'm wrong but aren't we talking about abusive language by the Grog Squad and being told to keep it PG rated?
We've all witnessed the ugly behaviour of football fans, and know what shouldn't be allowed. Adding a "no wearing" policy is a painful waste of time.
I'll admit I rolled the eyes and mutterede "Get ####ed" when our free kick count reached 7-17 in the first half. Send me to jail.

You support the Grog Squad but not the RFC. It's not just the Saints game but your pathetic trolling since the ore season and your sig.
Sure we may not play finals this year so what?
Most people see the potential and can start to distinguish this version as compared to many others before hardwick and gale
Are you going to wait until we win a flag before you stop ragging out the club?
I have no issue with the Grog Squad, I really don't care about them, my issue is your double standard in giving the grog squad a full license to do whatever they like but not allowing our side to play like rubbish every now and again ;D

Sorry but with so many problems in the world.......I just think we all need to get some perspective.
It is what it is. It ain't always pretty, but we've got food in our tummy, a house, a car, a job, a healthy family who hasnt been killed, bar the odd 0.00001% incident our life isn't seriously threatened.
More chance of getting hurt or killed on the way to the game via a car crash than at the game.
Take pity on those who cross the line, be the better person. Move on. Enjoy the game.
First world problems......
spot on
You cant do anything these days because you might hurt someones feelings
Dont drive 102kms in the right lane because someone might threaten to kill you or your family
Society is a joke these days as long as people aren't hurting anyone like that Jan Juc tosser then whats the big deal
A friend of mine slapped her kid on the bum at the local shopping centre and someone dobbed her into centre management.
I would love someone to come up to me if my daughter did something that warrants a smack.
People need to get a grip and STFU and enjoy life

Agreed people just want to have someone to something to whinge about to feel involved and important.
People happy to blame others and find excuses. Political correctness gone mad.

Its like the carry on over the two swimmers posing for photos with guns. Get a grip, ffs.
Some peple need to be shipped off to live in palestine or some other poo hole to get a bit of perspective.

arent they shutting it down?
or is it just a :shh

Funny thing happened on saturday. i was sitting sort of in front of the grog squad and had an arrogant, im sure SUV driving, R.M Williams wearing Richmond supporter,, with no respect for someone who has been attending games for the past 30 years, almost sitting on my lap while standing in front of me not giving a poo if i could see or not, calling for his fellow R. M Williams wearing friends that he had found a seat. Now these friends were in the next aisle so he then squeezes past everyone to get to the seats that were almost on the other aisle.. i nearly threw a beer in his face..... :shh
proud grog squad supporter, ive stood with them many times, great times and great people...

Bound to get worse as generations come through, each generation has more cotton wool on them then the next.
If you have a spare 90 minutes watch the movie 'Idiocracy' with Luke Wilson. Not the best movie but humorous and takes the pee out of human evolution and how the smarter more common sense people chase careers and opt for no children of a small family, whilst the dead beats of the world have huge families to take advantage of government payments and neglict their kids etc etc.
Thus the world becomes populated with morons. Something that arguably is upon us. Not a great movie but funny concept, that will probably come true.
