By this I dont mean you move to Richmond from Essendon and switch teams. I am saying if you moved from Melbourne to Perth, and the move was going to be forever, would you switch? More importantly if you moved to a city that currently doesnt have an AFL team, Tassie, Gold Coast, Darwin and they created one, would you jump on board?

I could have possible added a poll questions surrounding your team folding or moving. E.g. I was young enough when the Lions move to jump on my old mans (and second favourite - and funnily more watched and followed) Cats.
No way.
I could never support another team with the same passion i have for the Bombers.
With all the footy on TV now, it would be easy to still support your team, you just couldn't see them live as often.

I live in Tassie and am a Swans supporter and member. If Tassie get an AFL team I would still support the Swans. Having said that I would probably buy a Tassie membership to see some live AFL footy.

I have to say I would, I love the saints and they would always be my equal favourite but I would absolutly love a local team, I'd get to see 11 games a year with local players representing the place I was born and raised.
