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?

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.

lance franklin was also a demon supporter as was andrew thompson

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...

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
