I am still apologising to my kids for making them Port supporters with Ken Hinkley as coach for a large portion of their lives.

Pistol Night , your thoughts on this?
Imagine having 2 or 3 kids aged 10 or younger. the only coach they knew is Ken Hinkley lol
My children were told from an early age, if they supported Port, they would need to sleep in the garden shed with the spiders. Seemed to work well.

When you think about it, they dont know anything until they are like 5 or 6 maybe, Hinkley 13 years in. My kids are 20 and 18 and they have only ever really known Port being coached by this twunt.
My family is all over the place. Dad is St.Kilda, mother was North, before switching to Crows, my sister Essendon and myself Hawthorn.
My sister and I picked our teams back in 84 during the grand final. It was reenforced the following year where both our teams also played in the grand final. Needless to say, why her team started out in a blaze of glory, I’ve more or less had the luxury of seeing my side with more success…
The 1997 grand final was an interesting affair. When the saints were up, my father kept boasting, when the Saints inevitably lost, he went on a 6 month sulk, which really delighted my mother.
Now if I see St.Kilda make finals, I just stay away from his place, because I know it ain’t going to end pretty!
Been to the footy to watch the Hawks play both Essendon and Adelaide, also been to watch Essendon and the crows with my sister and mother. Have seen the Hawks play St.Kilda, without my father. but I refuse to take my old man to a game, he would just be insufferable!

I moved to WA 20 years ago, before I had kids.
I have always encouraged my sons (who are teenage now) to support the Tigers, but because they are WA born I will let them choose WC or Dockers if they want, mainly because it's so much easier to go and see your team live over here than a Vic club.
They are not big footy followers but I think my passion for the Tigers has rubbed off on them. If asked who they support, I'm pretty sure the answer will be Richmond.

It could be worse. It could be kids being born in 2022 and only knowing Queen Camilla…
