Why Do You Suppoort Your Team?

[Carlton_is_cool]

Y is it that you people follow your respective teams, is it because your parents did or some other reason?

 

[Stegelator]

Because Me Mum Barracked for the Bombers!!

 

[Carlton_is_cool]

My dad went for the blues, so i went for them. Before that i used to go for sydney

I just liked the Bears at the time. I really don't know why, I just started to like them. This was back in 1991.

Just always have? Dad barracked for Collingwood, and "Good old Collingwood forever" was the first song I learnt to sing.

People say I was brain-washed. I say I saw the light early!

 

[Carlton_is_cool]

I lived in Victoria till the age of 9 and supported Carlton when I was there. Not sure really why, as my Dad supported St.Kilda, and Mum wasn't really into the footy as she is English.

When I moved to WA, I supported West Coast straight away, and dropped Carlton I really got into footy a lot more over here, and will support West Coast for the rest of my life, wherever I live. I still have a soft spot for Carlton, but don't support them as such. Just prefer them to win out of all the Vic teams.

I am supposed to hate Freo but I don't, they are my "second" team so to speak. I support them as long as they aren't playing West Coast. Iv'e actually been to more Freo games than Eagles games, because my parents support them. So yeh, there are a lot of different reasons to support your respective football team.

My whole family barracks for Collingwood - my Grandfather played for the Mighty Pies in the 1927 and 1928 Grand Final teams (my sister and I each have one of the premiership medallions - takes pride of place ).

I picked the Kangaroos during the 1976 Grand Final. I thought the Hawthorn guernsey was awful (still do), so I went for the Roos and have stuck with ever since.

 

[play on]

I follow Collingwood because I don't follow the other 15 sides.

My Dad, and his dad barracked for Essendon, so from birth I've been Bomber Boy.

Well I support the Lions cause there from Brissy and that's where I was born and bred.

And I follow the Pies cause my Grandfather played for them many moons ago and half of my family still follow them.
