Ok well I feel like I derailed this a bit so I'll try and keep it moving

23, male, grew up on the Mornington Peninsula. Both sides of my family are about 80% Saints fans, I never stood a chance. A life of heartache and 4th quarter fadeouts were my destiny.

25 from eastern Victoria, now living in north-eastern suburbs! Have bumped into Billings and Joey a few times around the traps. Predominantly magpies supporters out this way though. Heavily outnumbered!

Live in the West Burbs of melb. All the family are mad Saints fans since the mid 70's. Ive been going to games since 1978. Ive got a few kids.
Ive long since retired, my sons moved away.
I called him up just the other day. i said "id like to see you if you dont mind".
He said "id love to dad if i could find the time, you see the new jobs a hassle and the kids have the flu"
"But its sure nice talking to you dad, its sure nice talking to you".
As i hung up the phone it occurred to me, he'd grown up just like me, my boy was just like me.
And the cats in the cradle and.........................................................o_O

Live in Hobart and I am 60. I remember sitting on the wood heap listening to the trans in September 1966. One defining moment in my life.
I have loved the Saints since being pointed to them by a painter in about 1963. I love every moment and always feel good about something. I don't have expectations, only pleasures. I really enjoy the young players and rate them all, but really like Jack Lonie. Josh Bruce will be All Australian, as will several other youngsters.
