While I guess most people in Melbourne have the same team from day 1, some of us who support the interstate teams have had to make a dramatic choice. Do you continue with your old team or do you support the new team? For example, where do GWS supporters come from? Were you just supporting lower league local teams without a care in the world for the AFL or did you jump ship from a team you chose as a youngster?
I supported the Swans when I was a kid, mostly because it was the only full match they played on TV, so why the hell not? I seem to recall my school friends jummping on the West Coast bandwagon when i was a kid, but they meant nothing to me, as I lived in Fremantle and Subiaco might as well have been on the moon. So I continued supporting the Swans. Untill the Fremantle Dockers came along. Then everything was right in the world and I forgot all about the Swans. Still gutted they never used the old Fremantle Oval as a venue (not logistically possible).
