    I actually own a Collingwood scarf from back when I used to watch the game with my best mate and his family who were Collingwood diehards, it was more fun to follow with them. Especially when they won a grand final and we all got real REAL drunk and sang and cried and hugged. It was a good time. I haven’t seen him or them for about 9 years. I should really get rid of the scarf because I feel nothing that they won just now.

      I was given a very expensive type of Collingwood memorabilia and I gave it away knowing that person absolutely would love it and not sell it.

      yeah, I used to love going to the footy, now I just don’t care. No home town feeling at all.

          As a kid I followed Hawthorn. Now I live in Carlton and have a bit of feeling for the Blues.

              See, I barrick for Adelaide since that’s where I was born, but my family was never a huge fan of sports. Like my dad barricked for the roos but it wasn’t religious in my family. Though my grandpa LOVED Geelong (later in life, when I was a kid he was a “whoever wins” kind fo guy) but my uncle is a massive Hawthorne supporter. Like joined the club and everything massive.

        I think the time for that is long past. I don’t have his contact details anymore.
