Who do the commentators support?

[Chasing the Dream]

I don't know if this has been done before, but I would be interested in who some of the commentators support.

Hudson is a Geelong suppoirter, but I would be really interested in some of the others, inc Sheehan, Wilson, Robinson etc.

Thanks in advance.

 

[Scroater]

Sheehan is Melbourne (I Think)
Wilson (Richmond???)
Robinson - Essendon.
Quartermain - Hawthorn
Lane - Carlton
Walls - Carlton

 

[The King!]

in that week of liftouts the herald sun had a few weeks back sheehan said he doesnt follow a team just follows the game.

but did go for the bulldogs for a while when younger i think he said? i will have to check

 

[Camo1902]

Everything in the 1st reply is correct i think. I was sure Sheehan was a melbourne supporter, but may be wrong.

 

[Bomber32]

Yeah, you and the first poster who replied are correct. Mike Sheahan is a Melbourne supporter. As for Caroline Wilson, her father is a former Richmond president and she has been following the Tigers since she was a kid.

 

[Scruff83]

What about Bruce? I'm tipping either Essendon, Collingwood or Adelaide.

[retaliater]

no he doesnt

in the 150 years of football our game part one he wrote an article here are a feq quotes from sheehan.

"my love affair with the game began before i started school. My parents took me to melbourne games when the demons were the dominant team. Yep the same Melbourne." ok so before he started school

" i had a brief flirtation with Geelong after meetin premiership centre-half back John Hyde at a charity dat at Werribee, when he promised to send me something in the mail" they were his socks

"then the young local star Bernie Lee started playing for Footscray...i must have driven him crackers throughout his seven season careeer... on Grand final day in 1961 he and team mate Bob Spargo carried me (with my broken leg from a football injury) to my seat in the olympic stand.


and finally and i quote he wrote

" thats the background that means i ended up barracking for the game rather than a club."

For some reason I always thought Sheahan was a saints fan.

Thanks for the replies everyone, but I am guessing that swansrule100 may have it right.

I was in the AFL members area on Saturday afternoon, and saw Mike Sheehan sitting a few seats away from me.

To me he seemed to be supporting the Bulldogs, and seemed to be even happier when Aka did a few nice things. He was there with who I would presume was his wife who was also quite happy with the way things were going (unlike myself) I guess while he may support the game, he would still have a soft spot for them.

 

[DJ Dupree]

I thought McAvaney went for the Roos

Maybe just me remembering South Aussies around me in the late 90's, yelling 'you're biased McAvaney, Roos supporter!' I just thought he was.

Dennis is probably 60% weagles supportr, 40% dockers i reckon. And he did love "Clive" with a passion. its a shame these days he doesn't commentate as many freo and eagles games as he used to.

 

[Belnakor]

i heard cometti ,say on tv once, that he is a bulldogs supporter. he played reserves for them in the early seventies

I think he was taking the piss. A bit like Tim Gossage pretending he is a Saints supporter when he is clearly an Eagles man.

And like all Freagles he's a condescending arsehole towards Freo.

no i dont think he was taking the piss!

 

[MarkJohnson#1]

Walls barracks for Carlton??? No way...

 

[pinkus maximus]

commetti is a west perth supporter. i dont think he supports any afl team, even though he claims to have a soft spot for the dockers

 

[Papa G]

5AA's dream team of KG, Cornsey and Rowey are Crows supporters apparently, but they hide it extremely well.

 

[Jesse Custer]

Walls barracks for Carlton??? No way...

The old goose barracks for them now, but i think i read somewhere that he used to barrack for Essendon before his playing days.

 

[Thaihawk]

Sheehan is Melbourne (I Think)
Wilson (Richmond???)
Robinson - Essendon.
Quartermain - Hawthorn
Lane - Carlton
Walls - Carlton

Dunstall - Hawks?
I went to Waverley. and through a mutual friend sat with Sheehan, he was then a 100% Melbourne supporter.

Nice! I especially like the way Rowe and KG don't even refer to Adelaide as the Crows, just "us".
