Team Help

[JoeldTrafford]

Hi all

Not exactly new here but only posted for the SFA league but Ive come with a question for a non(but hopefully soon to be) AFL fan. I put on my profile the swans as my team but that was just a random selection and I'm not exactly close in proximity to any team so ill ask here who i should adopt as my team.

I support the Broncos in the NRL so the Lions seem like an obvious choice but that seems like jumping on the bandwagon currently, Id also sway more towards a Melbourne team being that it is the home of AFL. But I'm open to all suggestions, id also love a team that's got some exciting young players coming through and plenty of history behind them.

For a few years I've told myself I'm going to start following AFL and I'm determined this will be the season.

Nothing wrong with the Swans, mate. A great choice if you ask me.

That rules out my team

Try the Kangas be different

Fitzroy

Then you can support Brisbane Lions without looking you jumped into the bandwagon.

Just support the Lions. They will go bad again one day.

Depends on what you're looking for. I think I'd suggest Fremantle if it weren't for your criterion of history. Vocal fanbase without being a league behemoth; constantly regarded as West Coast's little brother.

Indeed, "history" leaves you with only Victorian teams to choose from if you want a direct link to a team's continuous existence.

Might be a good time to jump on St Kilda? Tragic history, really, but they're sick of being (or being portrayed as) the whinging bridesmaids of the AFL and have gone berserk over the pre-season in terms of recruiting. Real "all or nothing" approach. Wonderfully loyal, rabid and completely traumatised supporters.
