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.

My husband goes for Carlton because he grew up around there.

I go for Carlton too after watching them play.

It's a home town thing for me.

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.
