Where are most of your workmates from? Plenty of people from the UK, NZ, SA etc. In fact Perth has more UK born than Sydney or Melbourne despite being much smaller.Your mate is correct.
Footy is nowhere near as ingrained over here in WA. ( I moved here 20 years ago).
In my office building there are about 40 people. I can talk footy with about 5 of them, max. And a lot only know about WCE/Freo.
I know plenty of blokes who like to watch the footy, but don't have a team. That would be unheard of in Vic.
I laugh when I hear WA described as a "footy mad state". It's not.
