With the prelims just over the horizon, I've been lurking on bigfooty and quite enjoying the commentary over which past finals were the best. After going back and watching a few highlights here and there it's somewhat refreshing to view certain teams under a different scope, especially in eras before my time. I personally find it sometimes difficult to remove my prejudice goggles and look objectively at a side due to whatever bias I have against them.
So I'm curious to hear if and how you guys have changed your minds and come around to certain teams. Whether it be a change of coach, a circumstance the team has found themselves in or maybe just some new star players that impress you.
For example, I always had a bit of a disliking for North Melbourne, this is likely due to them being a bogey side for us for quite a while until we were able to get some wins back in 17/18. Losing the elimination final against them in 15 certainly didn't help ease any tensions either. However, the sacking of Brad Scott has really quelled a fair bit of my distaste for them and I'm thinking it may just have been him I had it in for!
Interested in hearing your stories
PS. I'd like to focus on more in-house events as opposed to the behaviour of fans. I'm more than aware a fair few people have it in for Richmond post 17 due to our built-up angst of being the league's laughing stock for 37 years
