We could still feign interest in the game, but fact is, I'd lose all remaining respect for the AFL.
Relocation would be heartbreaking, as so many SM fans found out the hard way, but a total wipeout ?
*gag at thought*
I wouldn't think relocting again would be an option. At the time it happened, I was to young to understand the full concept of relocating, but the 1 thing that I did love was that my team was on TV every 2nd week.
I would much prefer to go through what South went through, than to have what happened with Fitzroy. At least we kept our own identity, other than changing names from South Melbourne to Sydney. The colours are still the same, the logo is still the Swans, and we now have a recently acquired Premiers cup in the cupboard.
I remember being at an aftermatch function, back early 90's and there was talk of changing the colours, not long after Richard Colless had taken over, and when he got up to talk in front of the members, they gave him a terrible spray. I think then, that he understood the meaning to the Bloods spirit through the supporters. It took a while for the Melbourne crowd to warm to him again but alls well that ends well, and he's been outstanding for us every since.
So in short, I don't think I could follow someone else in the AFL so I would turn my attention to my other team, Port Melbourne. The good ol' day of VFA.
