Some of these players showed hometown loyality:
Hodge , Colac had Richmond jumpers,
Dunstall, Cooparoo had a Carlton jumper,
Birchall, Devonport had a Collingwood jumper (for most of its history)

He still does! The only difference is that it's not a poster anymore. It's actually a BAG OF MONEY!!!

 

[Pessimistic]

Dipper was a Collingwood supporters as a young kid.

His family (parents etc) never changed from the pies. If the ever get on tv as his parents, they have as much supporter gear on as any tragic.

Dipper, arguably the best known footy player overseas couldnt convert his family

Anthony Condon Hawthorn

KNowing Condo as a player - that makes me happy. Tough as effing nails Condo was. Would love him in todays team.

Gunston = Bombers.

I think I remember he supported them because of how successful they were when he was growing up.

 

[Brishawk]

I think I remember he supported them because of how successful they were when he was growing up.

Did he miss a little thing called the 80s??

 

[HomerJayS]

robbie gray=hawthorn

Make him an offer he won't refuse!

 

[onthemoney]

Yeah he must have taken a while to make up his mind about a team. Unless he was one of those kids that got excited with a new team entering the comp. I recall being excited about all the fanfare around the Dockers starting out. Thank feck I wasn't that impressionable.

 

[Crock]

Collingwood: Birchall

Pretty sure Birch told me he barracked for SK

 

[moginie]

Platten supported Carlton, as did his whole family.

 

[WideOpenRoad]

Apparently Buddy used to have a poster of a big bag of money up on his wall as a kid.

This kid seems to barrack for that side too.

Platten supported Carlton, as did his whole family.
