always have right from when i was young... im no bandwagon supporter. dad was a fan and my mum to at one stage. never felt anything for the west aussie teams. my sister was never interested in footy till this year where she had to replace me as the obsessed bombers fan. my brother changed almost ever day until i showed him the light 
Forced into it by family, they gave me a TV at a young age and said it was only for a Collingwood fan, how could I resist?
I don't really know why I barrack for Richmond, but it's probably to do with the fact that when I was little they were a big club (late 70's early 80's).
But my brother baracks for the Tiger because I did. At least something good came of his birth.

Family was 90% Bombers so it was hard not to end up following. My grandmother used to live in Napier street and every home game in the early seventies i would get dropped of at her place as she would take me to the footy .

My entire family barracks for collingwood.
Living with the beasts for 21 years spurrd me on to become a better man. I chose Melbourne for that exact reason.

Started following Freo as my outright number one team from 2000. Before that I was a boring 'both WA clubs fan' admittedly because I wanted to just see local sporting success, (more Eagles because they were more likely to win the flag etc.), but I have enjoyed the enthusiasm and passion of the Freo fans and thats why I jumped on board of the Dockers.The underdog and ridicule status that the club suffered also was a big reason for getting behind them. I have only been a member since 2003 but supporting the dockers passionately is fast growing into a family tradition. My mother and three youngest brothers have got dockers memberships and passionately support Freo because of me. This year, I have been to to all home games, all training sessions on Tuesday afternoons during the season and my room is covered in dockers merchandise and posters etc.
Born into a Bomber family, who were living in the Essendon's immediate recruiting zone!!! What chance did I have?
Dad went for them and took me to Sturt games. I loved the colours too, been a supporter since as long as I can remember. First game I remember was in 88 and I was 7!!
And Dad also went for the Saints and I started following them in about 95 but am also impartial to Carlton coz they were the blues (kinda like Sturt).
