Highprofile Personalities and AFL

[Hit And Rum]

Interested to know if anyone knows any high profile personalities who really wear their hearts on their sleeves whne it comes to their AFL club. Muso's in the UK will wear their premier league shirt while playing at a concert or Jack Nicholson showing unbridled support for the Lakers in the NBA.

Is there any genuine talent that does this for their AFL team on the international arena like Russel Crowe with Rabbitohs in the NRL?

Lleyton Hewitt loves the AFC. He has been seen worldwide wearing a Crows jumper. Listens to games on the Internet when overseas and is regularly at Crows functions - was lucky enough to meet and have a photo at the Crows Club Champion dinner this year.

Cheers. I wonder if there are others. I remember seeing an interview with Kate Cebrano (not international status I know) on the Rugby League footy show must have been about 8 years ago. They asked which Rugby League team she supported. Her response - Hawthorn!
Stunned silence from the crowd then booing! Very funny!

Any other international status celebs?

Now I know for a fact that Rove is Freo's number one ticket holder, but part of that sentence strikes me as incorrect...

Costello is a Bombers fan.

Not sure who's more likely to be the next PM though.

Speaking of Freo's number 1 ticket holders... they've had some pearlers...

Carmen Lawrence - whoops!
Archbishop and ex-GG Peter Hollingworth - whoops whoops!
and now of course as previously mentioned, Rove.

Guess it's bound to happen that you make some bad choices when you send your troops into battle wearing purple and trade Andrew McLeod for some magic beans ...

She's a club-whore though...

She also says Adelaide and Carlton depending on what state she's in or what audience is watching at the time.
