Which AFL team should my nephew support?

Question

My nephew recently moved to Melbourne for work. As a result he doesn't get to see his beloved ACT Brumbies, but there's always pay TV.

He told me he went to a pub with some work friends and started to watch AFL. He says he's never watched a full game in his life. His friend suggested he support Collingwood. He asked me about that and I said "Don't support Collingwood, all the fans are Booners"

He lives in Fitzroy and has yet to select a team. Who do you suggest? Note - they will be his second favourite team becuase of the ACT Brumbies

Answer 1

tell him not to follow Collingwood. If he does his class of fellow supporters will drop well below that of other clubs. If he is moving from ACT to Melbourne tell him to follow the Sydney Swans. That way he will be following a team who will always be above most Victorian teams.

Answer 2

One word "HAWTHORN"

Answer 3

The bombers are a team who have a healthy membership, and not likely to go interstate to survive. They have a new coach, and look like an interesting club to follow.

Essendon players don't appear to have any scandal attached to  them, and get on with professionalism.

Answer 4

nar nar goon, they are joining the afl next season when the roo's fold.

pick one out of a hat. or pick one with a chance in the next few years.whatever!!

Answer 5

WERE A HAPPY TEAM AT HAWTHORN WERE THE MIGHTY FIGHTING HAWKS

Answer 6

richmond we r the best crows r poo jabber

Answer 7

I reckon he should choose an victorian team(not Collingwood).

I suggest Geelong, Hawthorn or Essendon.

Answer 8

why not collingwood at least he has friends

Answer 9

Tell him not to go for Colliwobbles because if he does he will end up being hated by fans of all the other clubs.

Answer 10

Tell him to support a team with the highest paid membership, state of the art  gym, clubrooms, and training facilities. A club that has a bright future and don't need to worry about relocating and all the money issues.You know what team I am talking about..................ADELAIDE CROWS.

Answer 11

I think Nth Melbourne need all the support they can get...so I suggest them.

Answer 12

FITZROY IS CLOSE TO CARLTON,so tell him to get on board the blue baggers-they are on the up and equal most successful team in the league.

Answer 13

Might aswell start at the top mate (Geelong)

So long as he doesn't go for Hawthorn than he'll turn out just fine

Answer 14

you would be mad not to support geelong with the team they have at present, but will they suffer the dreaded hangover, heard they are still celebrating down geelong way,  maybe there will be a bolter, probably not.

its up to him, pick a team and stick with them.
