I loved me State of Origin Footy i.e SA V Victoria, always wanted a team in the VFL/AFL so as soon as the Crows came in i was onboard. Followed Hawthorn a bit before that with Platten going there as im also A Central District supporter here in SA.

My dad followed Essendon and ever since I was a baby I've followed them. An my favorite colors are Red and Black.

Brisbane beat Port in the Qualifying Final in 2001 and the Prelim Final in 2002. Had quite a rivalry going with Port at the Time. Port was winning then and I think they made the GF in another year,

I know. As an Essendon supporter, I remember that they beat us in the semi's of 2002 and 2003.

Was a one eye Port Adelaide supporter at 4 years old. (mum , 2 older bros were so naturally i followed, dad could barely speak australian but came round eventually) Then when the Crows entered the comp in 91, i jumped aboard being a S A boy. As soon as the Power came in -in 97, i went back to the Power. I just find it hard to swap teams in any sport i follow, no matter how bad their going or how much success their having

haha no mate he was one of the few i didnt like that much tbh, i called Rudi footsteps, for obvious reasons.
Enjoyed playing cricket against him and the word Footsteps was used often during his innings.
