Why do you Barrack for your Team?

[Alkaline]

What made you start Barraking for the Team you do?

Because my heart told me to.

Family ties

couldnt imagine supporting n e 1 else now

 

[dees_best]

My old man was a Melbourne fan along with my next door neighbours back in the day.

 

[JeffDunne]

Because they weren't Carlton.



FWIW, before the Lemmings jump in, that was a joke.

My dad and brothers were all port fans, so I became one too. I grew up during the 80's and 90's and enjoyed so many Port Adelaide premierships as a kid that no other team really had a chance.

 

[Jericho30]

I grew up with everyone in my family, except my sister (Port), barracking for the Crows...

And of course Luke Jericho !!!

 

[Niall]

I was born in Perth so naturally I started going for the Eagles when they entered the competition. Haven't looked back since and will never support anyone else.

Because we beat Collingwood in two, not one, but count them (one, two), that's two GF's. This should be a good enough reason for everyone to follow the Lions.

 

[bradrowe#32]

Because I enjoy the humiliation, torture, being publicy shamed, and getting my hopes up every few years just to be completely disappointed again.

But I wouldn't change that for the world.

 

[Wildman]

Can't even remember when let alone why I started to barrack for them.

A: because your club became extinct

So I can comfortably troll St Kilda threads.

 

[O Grobbecker]

Get sick of sitting watching my team quietly.

 

[rota69]

grandfather even though my whole family go for collingwood

 

[ExTasDeeMan]

i remember following the way Robbie Flower used to play and just went from there. Came over to Melbourne in mid 80's to watch a match and i was hooked.

I can't say that Melbourne of the Early to Mid Eighties got any supporters on their form.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Peter Hudson. He was my hero.

 

[Atreyu]

I have no idea.. assuming cause my dad does... wouldnt change it for the world.. love my football club.

 

[raskolnikov]

My uncle took me to my first Essendon game when I was eight. I was hooked from there.

 

[jezza]

My uncle played for Richmond.

 

[Benno_900]

I just decided to turn on the TV one day in '98 because I was bored. The match was North Melbourne V Melbourne. North won so I decided to follow them. Then my passion grew quickly for this great game.

 

[scmods]

I live in Joondalup, drive a 4WD, drink wine and like knitting during matches. Also it's easier when you have someone telling you when and what to cheer.

(Did I miss anything?)

 

[Waite_30]

bcoz i was born in carlton n i watched a few matches in 95 so i decided 2 barrack 4 em

 

[Slander]

I was brainwashed by a friend when I was 6 & didn't like football (I liked the colours red & blue), saw us winning a reserves premiership & thought it was the real thing
I became emotionally attached to all the players and most things encompassing my life are devoid of success so supporting Melbourne is no different & quite comfortable for me.

 

[MadRyan]

Because i am smart.
