I've been a West Coast Eagles fan since they entered the competition back in 87 or so. This year they absolutely SUCK but shit happens I guess. So just for this year I'm all aboard the Freo train for the flag.

Interesting side note - my brother put a $100 2 leg bet on before the season started - Fremantle Dockers to win the flag and their midfielder Andrew Brayshaw to win the Brownlow medal (competition fairest and best). Sportsbet are currently offering to pay him out now over a grand. If it comes in he's getting paid out about $66,000 I believe.

This is one of my favourite sporting moments ever.

I went to a lot of Crows games in the 90s with my folks, who are still season tickets holders.

For whatever reason, after marginal interest for a long time. I really got into watching this season and had a blast (well, right up until our chance at making the 8 was cruelly denied...)

If ARL didn't exist, Australia would likely be the best rugby nation in the world. Seems like all their talent plays either this or league. Boo-urns.

Man, I got into it a bit last year but haven't caught any matches on TV this season. I used to love gambling on them at like 2am.

I went to a game for the first time in over ten years today. Gosh it’s nice how quickly play moves along compared to the stop and start of American sports.

I lived in Melbourne, Vic for 6 months back in '15 and adopted the Richmond Tigers as my team. Man, those games were so much fun.

Insane finish to that Crows/Carlton game, what a heart-stopper.

Pride of South Australia and so on.

My Bombers supporter wife was shocked to hear they are now sitting second on the ladder.

Defeating the reigning premiers away from home; not a bad way to end the pre-season for a club that finished bottom four last year!
