Teams supported by AFL players as kids?

Featured Replies

I'm wondering if there has ever been any kind of compilation assembled about what teams current football players supported as youngsters.

Which leads me to ask, if each player could have chosen their team to play for in the AFL, how would the demons look?

I know we'd have Chris Judd and Scott Pendelbury.....who else?

 

lance franklin was also a demon supporter as was andrew thompson

 

Neitz, Bruce and White all barracked for the Saints. Schwarz went for the Hawks. Sylvia barracked for the Pies, and Brock for no-one.

I was always under the impression that Judd went for the Demons, but a mate who usually knows these things told me that Judd and all his family supported the Hawks. Can any be definitely correct about this?(i.e. really know).

By the way, I know it doesn't matter!

Nope. Judd followed the dees. He even said so in his Brownlow acceptance interview.

Archie Thomson

It makes no sense to, but this makes me rather sick to the stomach!

Why couldn't we get first dibs, solely on this fact!!

There would be some fairly useful acquisitions if this was a recruitment criteria, although we would lose a few too ;) :D !!!


Haha if we could recruit players purely on this fact, we'd have buddy and some guy named Judd. ;)

My favourite is the current Bombers Captain whose old man played for the Blues, but followed FITZROY as a kid!

Buckley, Judd, Franklin, the Lonies... We'd have something of a decent team...

Unfortunately Collingwood and Essendon would also love if this was a recruiting policy.

nope carlton supporter

I guess it's all irrelevant in the wash-up hey.

I've always wondered who the players who play for a few teams end up supporting when they retire...

  • PREVIEW: Brisbane

    They really had me fooled when I picked them with great confidence to beat the Bombers at Gather Round last week. I should have recognised that nothing is more quintessentially Melbourne than defeating the undefeated early premiership favourite one week and losing to a winless cellar dweller on its way to establishing a record losing streak the next.
