What team did players follow while growing up?

[Brittany]

Fair enough then- I remember Crawf saying that on the Footy Show once when Delidio's (or was it Goddard's) name came up, but I could be wrong. If he wrote that he supported the Tigers, it must be true.

Yeah who knows, I also think he said his idol was Jack Dyer or something..

 

[JUBJUB]

A Joke surely

It's not a joke

 

[Kooley]

Charlie Gardiner - Hawthorn
Darren Milburn - Carlton
Joel Corey - North Melbourne
John Barnes - Footscray
Gary Ablett Snr - Hawthorn (probably because of his brother Geoff)
Brent Moloney - Melbourne
Jason Snell - Melbourne
Garry Hocking - Carlton

Non GFC

[JUBJUB]

Darren Milburn - Carlton

I wonder if his favourite player was a fullback who wore #1

 

[TheRealComptroller]

It's interesting the amount of sons of players who DID NOT barrack for their father's team.

Matthew Scarlett - Essendon
Lance Whitnall - Essendon
Campbell Brown - Hawthorn
Matthew Lloyd - Fitzroy

 

[Dazman]

WEST COAST
Waters - Pies
Rosa - Pies

Could have used this info during trade week.

 

[TheRealComptroller]

Bob Davis - South Melbourne

 

[mini_me316]

Troy Simmonds barracked for the Tigers.


And I thought Deledio supported the Bombers???

 

[lionlova]

Johnathan Brown, the Selwoods, Matty Lloyd, Ben Hart all Fitzroy.

I think it was only one of the Selwoods who went for Fitzroy.

Yea I read somewhere they all went for different teams...There was Fitzroy and Geelong, can't remember the other 2

 

[Hawkk]

As of post 60 this is what I've got down;

Essendon 36
Collingwood 22
Hawthorn 21
Geelong 20
Carlton 16
Richmond 14
Kangaroos 14
West Coast 12
St.Kilda 10
Brisbane Bears/Fitzroy Lions - 9
Adelaide - 9
Western Bulldogs - 8
Melbourne - 6
Sydney - 3
Port Adelaide - 2
Fremantle - 0

I'm probably way off in calculations, but that's a ****load of ex Essendon supporters even if I'm off

I bet they are glad they got recruited

The one from West Coast - is it Adam?, used to go for Hawthorn.

Just to clarify;

Shane Crawford used to barrack for Richmond
Luke Hodge was a Richmond supporter
Nick Riewoldt used to support Hawthorn
Brett Deledio was a Carlton supporter

A few extras

Luke and Matthew Ball used to go for Hawthorn
Mark Williams used to support the Kangaroos
Matthew Richardson was and still is a Tiger
Patrick and Joel Bowden were and still are Richmond supporters
Grant Birchall was a St.Kilda supporter
Lance Franklin was a Melbourne supporter
John Barker was a Fitzroy fan
Ben Dixon was a Tiger
Jarrayd Roughead was a Bulldog

 

[TheRealComptroller]

Ang Christou - Collingwood
Wayne Campbell - Richmond
Brendon Gale - Carlton
Daniel Harford - Collingwood
Aaron Hamill - Carlton
Barry Brooks - Port Adelaide
Brendan Fevola - St Kilda
Blake Caracella - Collingwood
Leigh Colbert - Richmond

 

[rick James]

Ash and Lachlan Hansen barrack for Melbourne as well.

 

[divvydan]

The players playing today are kids of the 80's and early 90's so it makes sense that Essendon and Hawthorn are supported by many more than the average should suggest.
Both teams were not only hugely successful in the 80's, but both teams, Essendon particularly, were the "in" team and people were thus drawn to them.

 

[Philhawk]

Would anyone know if stuff like this is asked at the Draft Camp by recruiters?

 

[pafc4life]

Mark Bickley (lol) and daniel wells were both big Port Adelaide fans.

 

[Stylus]

Some interesting results here.

Anyone know who Andrew Demetriou barracks/barracked for?

 

[rainesy_boy_4]

Ash and Lachlan Hansen barrack for Melbourne as well.

Sydney ?

 

[Hawkk]

Adrian Anderson was a Hawks fan
Ron Evans - Essendon fan?

I think Carlton, but don't take my word for it.

 

[Cuzz09]

Jeff White, David Neitz - St Kilda
Brent Moloney - Melbourne
Russel Robertson - Carlton
Lynden Dunn, Colin Sylvia - Essendon

My favourite one though is:

Brock McLean - refused to barrack for a club, even as a 10 year old, as he didn't want to be "dissapointed when I get drafted" - just the sheer confidence in himself even at 10 years old is just gold.

I find that very hard to believe - Every kid has a team they love. I dont care what he says.

Someone else wrote that Wells went for Eagles???

A bit of perspective, please.

We're talking about Brock here.
