I near ya but they swear no less than anyone at the footy
ltd the minority that complain
I hardly even notice the grog squad swear .. it's exaggerated how much they swear
ppl must have go learn go just stuff off and go home after the game and soon about their grand losing or celebrate their wins
it's funny how when we were perennial losers no one complained
now that we are winning the sooks come out

stuff them
You're probably right with the source of the complaints....and yes it is rarely used in their chants.... but hey...if they wan't to survive they need to change. That after all it is a non-negotiable Club directive...and a reasonable one at that. You know what...if their chants were more inclusive they would have the surrounding bays sing along as well....imagine thousands singing their chants :thumbsup

I agree get more people singing the friendly chants, give out the words to all those around!!!

I dont like it when club administrations dont support the supporters. Ive seen it before and its no good for anyone. Our club needs to be especially careful. Our supporters have rattled tins, donated to jack dyer foundations and fighting funds, they have stayed on the bandwagon when there was no other reason to do so other than loyalty. The club is the supporters the players and the coaches, a small minority of club administators shouldnt forget that. Long live the Grog Squad! :gotigers

This club has done a pee poor job in supporting some of its members/supporters. Without us there is no Richmond. All they care about is getting our money.

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

There wouldn't be any complaints if other clubs didn't use our punt rd end.

Go to the city end if you don't like the singing you bloody shouldn't be there anyway.
It's our end!!!

3 - There is a Zero Tolerance policy on swearing at AFL games. NO EXCEPTIONS!
This wasn't enforced at all last week :nope.  The ordinary standard of umpiring got the crowd worked up.

You get 40k chanting rubbish and you can't kick them all out.  :lol

Would have looked like a Doggies home game with the 4k left and they may have been inspired to victory.

Are you serious? Please!

Complaints about the Grog Squad have been going on for years has nothing to do with other clubs being at the punt road end.

And before anyone whacks me NO I've never complained about them  ;D
