they are now calling for Joffa's head because of his love of firearms (such a fine advertisment for gun control!!!)- see the website papers - not a flattering shot of the big goose at all - but the cheersquad woes at the Pies continues. (again I'm not clever enough to attach a link - SCCOTTTT!!!)

Insane Magpie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did anyone see The pic in todays Herald Sun Newspaper Page 3?
It shows Collingwood Cheer squad leader Jeff "joffa" Corfe standing angainst a brick wall 2 riflels in his arms and a shot gun, leaning against the wall..he posted this pic on the Collingwood supporters web site, saying "and this is me ready for our 2009 premiership tilt"................. Joffa is the bloke who dones the gold jacket and holds up a "Game over" sign.
In my day we used to recon a magpie supporter was smarter than the average sheep .But now I have my doubts.

Joffa was originally part of the Rebel faction. But when Cath Johnstone & her cronies got voted out, his lot came in after much in-fighting & blood-letting.
I have worked at Telstra Dome behind CCS a few times this season & was horrified by how quiet they were. Several people I know who are in NSW Collingwood Supporters Club have even said they won't sit with them any more. Apparently people in there have joined so they can freeload decent seats on the cheap for big games like Anzac Day. The chanting is virtually non-existent with the chant leader stopping after a few seconds each time because nobody would join in.
I have spoken to members of the NSW Collingwood Supporters Club who told me that Eddie apparently told the CCS that he didn't want volunteers at the club "because you can't tell volunteers to do something & expect it to be done". This is the guy who had the Cheer Squad rip a message off the back of the banner out of spite & pettiness at the AFL & Andrew Demetriou a couple of seasons back. Charging people $700+ for memberships they can't afford is Corporate Collingwood at its most evil. They are DELIBERATELY pricing lower end supporters (and let's face it, the Pies have a LOT of those!) in a bid to 'gentrify" their supporter base & make their club more interesting to high-end sponsors & corporate partners.
It is easy to laugh at the Pies, but when your head could be next on the chopping block in the face of over-corporatisation of sport it isn't so funny.
It makes the $20 I pay each year the BEST value ever. I wouldn't trade my Melbourne Cheer Squad membership & the friends I share my time at the footy or at the Rising Sun pub for anything in the world.Going to the footy is so enjoyable BECAUSE of the people I watch games with. Even when we lose & are in a bad mood we have people who feel the same way who we can have a yarn & a laugh with over pizza at Patonys.

I can't believe the Magpies would do this.... hang on, yes I can cause we are talking about Collingwood & Eddie Everywhere here. This just makes me hate Eddie & Joffa more than i already do. If Collingwood didn't have their low income supporters they'd have no supporters at all.Red & White forever.Comment
