Teams supported by AFL players as kids?

[Demonic_Inferno 17]

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?

[Jaded No More 68,867]

Judd

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.

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!!

[Dreamin' Demon 10]

Danny Jacobs followed the Demons as a kid

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

[Madness 44]

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

[warren dean 193]

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.

[WonnaJurah 5]

where would current melb players b if this happened

[Demonic_Inferno 17]

Can anyone make up a team based on these melbourne supporting players? Also I wonder what team would have the strongest list?

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...
