Hevs if Bombers win this weekend they play the Lions at the G not the Gabba. If they make the Grand Final its party at your house.

lol. On arrival in VIC, I was shopping around for a team to barrack for. In the absence of any mates to ask (on the basis I'd go with them) I'd asked around...

Hawks were recommended. By the time the new avatar was up, and the season had started I'd long forgotten my new found allegiance..and never got around to removing it in any case... I'm still neutral, as I now barrack for the Storm in the NRL.

What do you reckon would happen if Brisbane, Sydney, Adelaide or Perth had to put out 10 teams each rather than 1 or 2?

What sort of stupid rule is that!!!!

Thought the idea of finishing higher up the ladder was to gain home field advantage. Then it all goes up in smoke and you have to play in VIC.

Guess it might make the game a little more interesting and not the usual 60 point hammering.

A nice article and as a Bulldogs supporter I know exactly what the man has gone through but as he says, there's always next year!

A fair point - there was an occassion this season when the Swans had a live game on 10 on a Saturday night (collingwood I think). The attendence at the game was actually given as higher than the TV rating. Astonishing. So to answer your point there - If we had 10 teams no-one would care.

However we do have about that in the NRL - and here is the difference. People in Sydney regard the Swans as 'one of ours'. They might not really go for the sport, but will support the Swans.
In Melbourne, my observation is that if it isn't AFL it's to be hounded out of town at the earliest possible moment. There is a degree of paranoia about the AFL that I find quite odd.
