There was a thread on the main board ages ago about celebrities that follow various AFL teams, and it was pretty much a consensus view that we had the more famous followings ... so we have that to hang our hat on, if anything.

(not that Robbie counts, the bandwagon-er )

Not only do we have the most, but we have the best.
Warney & Bana are ****ing legends.

I love Eric Bana. Most people with his sort of schedule would only pay attention if we're up and about but he's tweeting every game this year, was there for Lenny's last match and was as passionate as anyone during those grand finals. Even gave us a good run in a movie a few years back. Can tell he loves the club, absolute legend.

My Warney story goes like this: Round 4 2013 v Essendon and I'm in a corporate box and we're getting flogged. We show some friskiness late in the third quarter (kicked the last three goals) to go in six goals down at the last break.

Anyway SKW is in the box next to me, sitting next to me. Everyone else in the box was taking photos of him and acting like fools, but I'm not that sort of guy so I left him alone. Anyway the siren goes for everyone to get back in their positions for the start of the last and I'm looking around the ground and I catch Warney's eye. He looks at me, and through the glass, hold two fingers up and says "first two goals". It was then I realized despite his persona and all his talk, Warney's just another hopelessly optimistic St Kilda fan.

I would have thought you would have a few more stories, having played with him an' all.

Great to see Nicky Winmar talking about the club and seeing the excitement he feels about the club turning things around after last year.

Asked about the Saints not having any indigenous players at the moment he acknowledges clubs need to keep giving young indigenous boys a chance to fulfil their potential.

We all love an underdog-to-legend story, don't we.

Crows on the hunt for cricketer Alex Keath

ADELAIDE is in the hunt to sign Alex Keath, as the Victorian cricketer weighs up his sporting future.

The Crows are believed to be leading the charge for the 23-year-old, with Geelong and St Kilda also among the interested clubs.

Keath, who was cut by the Victorian Bushrangers at the end of last season and is currently playing county cricket in England, is tipped to play cricket this summer in South Australia.

But he is seriously considering his football options as well, with the likelihood of signing on with an AFL club but continuing to pursue cricket in the summer.

Keath is a free hit for clubs, as he can sign as a category B rookie because he has not been registered with a football club for more than three years.

As a category B rookie he could be paid outside of the salary cap until he played a senior game. Under the alternative talent rules, he can commit to a club at any stage for the 2016 season.
