Underneath Geelong’s GMHBA stadium, the Cats cheer squad are busy. With expectation in the air, a group of more than 30 are beavering away on banners for both the AFLW match against Hawthorn on Thursday night and the AFL grand final against Brisbane on Saturday.
Robyn Cecil sits off to the side, providing instruction and support. “I’ve seen a lot of people come and go,” she says, explaining her involvement with the club. “Coming down here, you have lunch, banner [making], going to the football. But I don’t go to Melbourne any more. I stopped doing that when David passed away, I just felt I couldn’t.”
