Why do you support the team you follow...?

Question

Just curious what made you support them...

Answer 1

Born in Balmain, but grew up in the Magpies old heartland of Ashfield (where the original club is). So i followed the Magpies, but had a soft spot for the Tiges. When the merger occurred, it was good for me - plus it gave us a Premiership - when I didn't really think I would see one in my life.

So Wests Tigers.

Answer 2

i was born in geelong in melbourne moved cause it was a shithole lol...

anyways moved to belmore in sydney which is pro bulldogs area, but my whole family was raised in brisbane so going for the broncos is a family tradition kinda thing..so yeah love my broncos :]

Answer 3

Born and bred in the ACT.

That makes the mighty Green Machine, my team.

Canberra Raiders forever

Answer 4

As a young kid in western queensland (early 90's) all I ever heard on the radio (we didn't have channel 9) was the Bronocs dominating.  They were the only team that existed as far as I knew and everybody loved them.

Fast forward 15 years and I'm down in Sydney... nobody likes them here. Which I guess make supporting them even more enjoyable... sticking to your mates, etc.

Answer 5

I am related to one of their players- Roosters.

And i have gone for them my  whole life :D

Answer 6

1st watched RL  when Brisbane played STG in the final in the early 90's when i was a young boy, i just loved Alan langer, Steve renouf, Saloir and the jerseys looked so good

Answer 7

family influence i suppose i was 6 months old at the 94 grand final haha i wasnt much of a good luck charm since the doggies got smashed at the hands of Mal Meningas men ,, i dont remember much , but ive watched the match and most other matches from the 90's shame i was born too late to witness Mal Meninga in his prime , i cant imagine anything more special

Answer 8

i have been a Storm supporter from the beginning because they are the local team.But before Storm i followed St George having arrived from England it seemed appropriate,but i never got as involved with the game then as i am now.

GO STORM

Answer 9

Answer 11

Well i follow Collingwoood because that was the team that actually got me interested in AFL. I usde to hate the sport then i watched Collingwood play and i thought they were awesome and i just naturally barracked for them. im supposed to barrack for nrth melb because thats wat the rest of my fam does but i like the Magpies the best. Go the Pies!

Answer 12

cowboys. went to skool and played league  with a couple of their players that started at the cowboys when they where inclued in the comp.

Answer 13

I'm from Darwin...so you need to chose a team since we dont have our own (AFL country you know)...So when I was 16 I started to follow Panthers simply because my Uncle followed them, and then went on to follow Bulldogs as well because of the talent at the time, they had some great players!!

I am sooooo upset that Big Willy and Shrek defected to the Roosters...especially after losing Braith a couple of years ago...Im in mourning this year!

Hey, BTW...Storm are gonna do well this year! Great players and coach!
