1,2,3,4...who do you think they barrack for?

Ashley Browne, Written on Wednesday, 01 December 2010 00:00

BACKPAGELEAD

Charles Happell - North Melbourne. Followed Doug Wade across from Geelong all those years ago. 5

Ashley Browne - Hawthorn. Has reserved seats. 8

James Dunn - Essendon. Between the Bombers and the Australian cricketers, is doing it hard. 8

HERALD SUN

Mike Sheahan - Melbourne: Avowedly neutral, but his heart does beat true. 3

Mark Robinson - Essendon. Doesn't make a big deal of it, but the occasional 'we/us' slips through. 4

Mark Stevens - Western Bulldogs. Fanatical. David Smorgon has him on speed dial, and vice-versa. 8

Scott Gullan - Western Bulldogs. Lives in and writes about Geelong, but is a Dogs man. 5

Jon Ralph - Richmond. Will bang his first in the press box from time to time as the Tigers turn it over again. 5

Glenn McFarlane - Collingwood. Has written heaps of books about the Pies. 7

Jackie Epstein - Collingwood. Posed with the premiership cup for her Facebook profile. 7

Daryl Timms - Hawthorn. Hails from the same part of the world as Michael Tuck. 6

Chris de Kretser - Essendon. Borderline feral. Two most-used words: 'Carna Bombers'.8.5

THE AGE

Rohan Connolly - Essendon. Some of his press box barracking is the stuff of legend. 9

Jake Niall - Collingwood. Will talk Collingwood all day and all night if you let him. 8

Caroline Wilson - Richmond. Daughter of a former club president. 8

Emma Quayle - Essendon. Used to write for the club magazine before joining The Age. 8

Michael Gleeson - Collingwood. Keeps a reasonable lid on it. 6

Samantha Lane - Carlton. Like father, like daughter. 7

Scott Spits - Essendon. The Age keeps a quota on the number of Essendon supporters in the sports department. Has to be at least three at any one time. 5

Martin Blake - St Kilda. Has nearly been brought to tears by the Saints over the years. 6

Richard Hinds - Collingwood. Was working overseas in 1990, so happily reported to the MCG in early October, 2010. 7

Jon Pierik - Carlton. Keeps it understated. 5

Greg Baum - Collingwood. Uses big words for a Collingwood supporter. 6

THE AUSTRALIAN

Steve Rielly - Essendon. Loved covering the Bombers in their hey-day. 6

Greg Denham - West Coast. Hails from the west and has always been close to the Eagles. 7

INSIDE FOOTBALL

Russell Holmesby - St Kilda. Won't sit in the press box when the Saints play. 9

Ben Casanelia - Geelong.K-Rock's boundary rider. 7

AFL.COM.AU

Jennifer Witham - Collingwood. Gets very excited when Didak jags one from the pocket. 7

Ben Broad - Geelong. Years of living in Sydney couldn't dull his passion. 6

Luke Holmesby - St Kilda. Son of Russell. Enough said. 8

ADELAIDE ADVERTISER

Michaelangelo Rucci - Port Adelaide. Bought a paver outside Alberton Oval. 7

Peter DiSisto - Hawthorn. Was one of the first to protest against the 1996 merger with Melbourne. 7

Ben Collins - Collingwood. The flag brought him great pleasure. 7

Cameron Noakes - Sydney. Convinced of a top four finish in 2011. 6

Jim Main - Sydney. The club historian. 9

Michael Lovett - Geelong. Had his patience rewarded in 2007 & 2009.

Craig Hutchison - Geelong. See Tony Jones, 4

Damien Barrett - North Melbourne. Doesn't always delight the club with his reporting. 4

 

How can Sheahan's "heart beat true" ? He was involved (orchestrated?) that "On The Couch" setup that featured the nondescript Brock McLean and started this whole tanking issue

We have only one and he described our club as disgusting and pathetic. His show landed us in this tanking trouble. Me personally I would tell him to f... off.

Maybe that is why we have no media profile.

I know, right?

I was just interested to post this, because some people were trying to guess who EQ barrack's for. It's nice to know from what angle people are coming from.

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

  • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
