I just found this amongst a whole heap of papers I chucked out..
It was written around two years ago when the war on terrorism began.

USA: Essendon - Arrogant. If they suffer the slightest injury the whole world hears about it.

Al Qaeda: Western Bulldogs - Thugs who like to take out opponents behind the play. Capable of upset wins but all other supporters hate them.

UK: Carlton - Have a leader who is far more outspoken than he needs to be. Have been involved in many memorable finals campaigns.

Pakistan: St Kilda - Trying hard to be one of the big boys, but has upset a large percentage of its supporter base and may soon face a membership revolt.

The Taliban: Melbourne - the "Old Boys" club where members are measured as much by what they wear as who they are. Not a consistent contender but haas home ground advantage in the finals.

India: Collingwood - A sleeping giant, not a contender at the moment but with a huge supporter base. Likes to think its opinion is worth plenty, yet is largely ignored by non-fans.

The Northern Alliance: Geelong - A rabble in desperate need of sponsorship dollars.

Israel: Richmond - Rabid supporters come from everywhere when they make the finals.

Palestine: Kangaroos - A team looking for a home, had been on the periphery for many years before the 90s. Not regarded as a big contender but with enough names to upset the favourites.

Uzbekistan: Brisbane - Northern neighbour who will receive some league help. Worry a few in the south until they win a flag or two when they will become everyone's most hated foe. Undergone a name change recently.

Japan: Sydney - No attack, last campaigm of any note in 1945. Big player financially in the 80s.

Iraq: Adelaide - Have been a contender before and opponents prefer to see them out of the finals race. Most of the teams from the other side of the border dislike them.

Russia: West Coast Eagles - Once a great superpower, now in disarray.

Italy: Port Adelaide - Once a great empire with a tradition few could match. Now go largely unnoticed by all but the most loyal supporters.

Germany: Hawthorn - Tendency to blondeness. A strong finals history but off the scene of late. Unfortunate uniforms.

Australia: Fremantle - Not a contender. Just in it to make up the numbers. An embarassment fo their supporters.

As I said this is two years old - so a few things have changed since then!!

Even if it is two years old, I don't think Al Qaeda and the Taliban have ever been countries.

Oh so true
 
This is very out dated for a lot of teams.

Methinks

Collingwood - USA

- Everyone hates us
- We think we are better than everyone else (true)
- We want to take over the AFL (World)
- We have the most patriotic supporters (citizens) and we believe everything our President tells us
 
HAHA what a laugh!
But oh how things have changed!!!

Collingwood - Now a contender!

Geelong - Are making profits!

Brisbane - Has now won a premiership or two!

Port Adelaide - Now they get noticed!
