Could either drink myself into deep depression or I could follow the Dockers, would be cheaper........

It would have to be the doggies or the blue boiz!Most likley the doggies << there the better team
I'm not overly interested in the AFL as it is anyway. The only reason I follow it is because of my love for the Saints.
If they didn't exist, I wouldn't have any concerns with never watching another game of AFL again.
It's funny though, I used to go to at least 2 non-Saints matches every weekend. Was a deadset footy tragic 5-10 years ago.
Don't know what it is, but modern footy just doesn't do it for me like it used to.

If the Roos folded I would probablyy lose most of my interest in AFL
Might go to a couple of Dockers games don't mind Freo,their supporters are passionate but have a sense of humour

As others have stated on this thread, footy wouldn't be the same if my team folded. Hang on. My team, Fitzroy, DID cease to exist as a stand-alone entity in the AFL. And, guess what? Things weren't the same. They were much better.
The final 5 years of Fitzroy's existence were like having teeth pulled without anaesthetic, for me. Since the first final of the 1996 series I have passionately followed the Brisbane Lions, and I've been repaid, in spades. As one of those who was in favour of Fitzroy moving to Brisbane in 1986, I just wish it happened sooner. Much less pain would have ensued.
As for those who would not be interested in the game if their team folded, I can understand your position, but for me the game has always been paramount, rather than the individual teams. The game is what I watch.

I'd follow another team if the Hawks folded, but I'd rather see them merge or move to Tasmania or something, in which case I'd probably still follow them in a national competition.
Either that or I'd probably go for Melbourne, St Kilda or the Sydney Swans, which are kind of second teams for me anyway.
But I don't think I'd just drop everything and start watching another sport ... I love aussie rules too much for that.

i always had a soft spot for Geelong since they were our bitches during the 90's. But what the hell, if the Hawthorn Football CLub folded tomorrow. I would straight away buy a Geelong membership!

if lions died, i'd definitely follow the swannies. or i might even put in a few million to lobby for sharks as the 16th team.
Having actually faced this question when the North Sydney Bears folded in the NRL. I stopped watching RL for a few years but I went to a Manly match and I was there again. If you truly love the sport, you'll move on. I doubt I'll ever have the same passion for Manly as I did Norths, but I love the game too much
