I thought Denis was a WCE supporter ( I know he is a big Robbo fan)

Anthony Hudson - Geelong

Andrew Maher - Carlton

Mike Sheahan - Melbourne

Caroline Wilson - Richmond

Tim Lane - Carlton

Peter Landy - Hawthorn

Drew Morphett - Carlton I think

Eddie McGuire - need I answer

Francis Leech - Stkilda

Mark Fine - StKilda

Bruce McAvaney - Neutral

You will notice I did not include any past players or coaches. I am sure Caro goes for Rich - not Melbourne.

Dennis Commett has been quoted that he does not follow any clubs, but has a soft spot for Melbourne.

As a child in WA he followed Melbourne and his favourite player was Big Bob Johnson...He has mentioned this quite a few times in broadcasts

On 3AW after the Melbourne v WB game this year, Dennis Cometti said those were the two clubs he has bought memberships for. I'm not sure whether he barracks for either though...

Caroline Wilson is a Richmond supporter - her father was president of the club for more than a decade.

Dennis Cometti played reserves for Footscray, so if he has a leaning it is to the Dogs, very big West Perth supporter here in the WAFL.

From ABC Perth Glenn Mitchell is Carlton supporter

Graham Smokey Dawson is Hawthorn

Gerard Whatley Geelong

Dan Longergan Western Bulldogs

The Late Wally Foreman was West Coast, his last AFL broadcast was the 06 Eagles win

Rob Waters ?

Quentin Hull, you'd suspect Brisbane

Peter Donegan ?

There's a few. Cheers

I've read that Cometti has a leaning to melbourne but not sure why that's so. could only think that because he barracked for west perth -- when they had the brilliant name the cardinals, since changed to falcons (yawn) -- he was attracted to our colours. of course, there's a reason for him liking the dogs, having played reserves for them. but he's always admitted a soft spot for robbo & I detected some real angst in the first half against freo -- he was kind of willing us on, although that could have been as much for the sad state of the team in that first half. thank god someone among the commentators has some passion for us!

Peter is a Collingwood supporter.

I know it's got little to do with the topic, but I like Peter Donegan as a commentator. I reckon he's got a voice that is pleasant on the ears, unlike the screeching cats like McAvaney and Hudson.

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    PREGAME: Rd 18 vs Essendon

    The Demons are back at the MCG once again and will once again be fighting for a spot in the Top 8 as they come face to face with Bombers on Saturday night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
