Luckily for the Eagles, Freo are also crap this year.

They should have just moved to Queensland in 1987 and just called themselves "The Lions". Would have went over better I think with it being the same squad and branding, just playing interstate more. Maybe call themselves Fitzroy when playing in Victoria, that would have been better than a merger losing everything.I knew a bloke who used to barrack for Fitzroy, then started supporting North when Fitzroy merged with Brisbane. I bet a few disgruntled Fitzroy supporters turned their backs on the merger and supported someone else.
Surely you’re loyal to Craggy Island over 75s five-a-side?On a whim I decided to go for the Eagles after watching on telly when they played their first game, where they ran down the Tigers in the last quarter at Subiaco for a famous win. I was 13. I barely got away with it. I did jump around teams when I was younger though, I even went for the NZ cricket team for a couple of years in the mid 80s.
Anyway, for some unknown reason people would ask me why I went for an interstate team. I would point out that we're Tasmanian and they're all interstate teams. No one in my neck of the woods followed Tasmanian football outside of the local stuff. So you'd have your country footy team and your VFL team. If they end up spaffing a billion dollars on that nonsensical stadium in Hobart they'll probably base the team there and that will make it very easy not to follow them, so maybe no hard choices in my future coming up.
Oh yes of course, but that's an entirely different leagueSurely you’re loyal to Craggy Island over 75s five-a-side?
but, the most successful club in the last 65 years of the game?I was pretty dark when Clarko gave our B&F winner Mitchell his marching orders. Along with 2nd placed Lewis. And what did it achieve, absolutely nothing.
I find even if you try following another team the passion just isn't there.
On the idea of letting children choose their own club, do you let young kids choose to eat nothing but junk food or not go to school?

I knew some who switched teams or said they would follow Port Melb in the VFA. My mum switched to Richmond because my dad and most of my family were Tigers fans. But later she moved to Sydney to retire and she went back to being a Swans fan.Any South Melbourne fans here, who didn't like The Sydney move that started supporting another club?
