So it comes to this point of the season to get any satisfaction out of football I need to at least start liking a couple of other teams in the 8. I don't want to be a bitter Crows supporter like I usually am as I still do love the game despite the AFL admin getting involved.
So let us have a look who is on the board:
West Coast - Positives - Non Victorian, no real players to hate, they have not had too much success, 3 premierships in around 30 years, I'd be happy for them to win one more for now. Negatives - supporters can get annoying but there are worse. I'll give them a green light.
Richmond - Positives - no ex crows players, I don't hate any of their players, they have only won one premiership in 40 years. Negatives - They did beat us last year in the GF and do love the MCG, supporters get annoying as they are finally having success. I'm willing to go Yellow light.
Geelong - Positives - Can't think of any. Negatives - Dangerfield, the fact they are Geelong, too much success, their coach, their supporters. Red light
Sydney - Positives - No Tippett, Non Victorian, don't hate any of their players, supporters aren't too bad. Negatives - Have had many huge leg ups from the AFL. Dislike Buddy. Yellow light, think I'd be very happy supporting them on GF day if they are playing teams like Port, Melbourne or Geelong.
Melbourne - Positives - Lack of success, Titus O'reilly is a supporter, I like him. Negatives - Jake Lever. Jake Lever is enough to get me to Red light.
Collingwood - Positives - Buckley is quite likable these days, they play good football, no players I hate or dislike. Negatives, they are Collingwood, with their tails up their supporters will get cocky and annoying, Eddie Maguire. The fact they are Collingwood means I can't give them a green, but I'll give them a Yellow for now.
Port - Positives None, Negatives - too many to mention. Big red light.
North Melbourne - Positives - lack of success, no annoying supporters, I like Ben Brown, I don't have any issues with their players. Negatives - Victorian. A green light for me on that one.
Hawthorn - Positives - Can't think of any. Negatives - Too much success, supporters feel entitled. Red light.
GWS - Positives - Non Victorian, New club no success. Negatives - AFL made. Yellow light for me on that one.
Thoughts?
Who would you give your Green, yellow and red lights?
