*where the result didn't benefit your team or you had money riding on it
Today's game felt a bit odd, it was almost like we were playing Melbourne, even if Adelaide probably didn't care if we or Melbourne got top 8. I bet Melbourne fans have seldom barracked so hard, but I'm not so much talking about that. Anyway, it made me think, what match, finals or otherwise, did you barrack for one team that wasn't your own the hardest?
For me it was last year's GF. Living here the Bulldog mania rubbed off on me, I bought into the fairytale, and really wanted them to break their drought. Really don't care for the Swans either. They're one of the Melbourne teams I don't mind so much, partly because I've made the scray my home. The prelim against GWS nearly as much.
Just behind that was the 2010 GF draw. I was aching for the Saints to win for the sake of their supporters and to break the drought. Can't imagine being a Saints supporter, you'd have to be a masochist!
