Hello from a new fan

[guruisatiger]

Hello, and thanks for the welcome! Most mid-life crises involve buying a new motorcycle or some such. For me, I’m becoming obsessed with the Australian sports scene. I remember watching footy when it would be shown here in the USA on cable back in the early 1990’s, but it was hard to follow it, since cable stopped showing games and there was no internet. Somehow, I started watching again (mostly old games on YouTube) and I really love it. Since I’m new to the scene, I have to reserve the right to change teams...all I really have to go on are old games on YouTube, which teams have cool guernseys, and team songs. So far I’ve narrowed it down to Adelaide, Richmond (I swear it’s not because they were in the Grand Finals), Carlton, Sydney and West Coast. But I’m open to suggestions (and maybe bribes...kidding, of course). Thanks again for the welcome!

Packers a historical team with green and yellow colours. Currently a strong offense and a weak defense.

No team matches in colours or mascot, however currently a strong attacking team and poor defensively with history could be Essendon

Geographically,

Geelong are most like Green Bay.

Green Bay Packers; my ex-brother-in law was a used car salesmen from Wisconsin and convinced me to be a Packers fan back in the 1980’s...That dude could sell ice to Eskimos.

I think Geelong is most like the Packers.

I support the Packers in the NFL & the Lions in AFL
