So you do not support a real club. Just anyone based in West Australia will do.
Strange but fair enough if that is your strange view.

So to clarify - I would be prepared to see Freo beat WCE in a Grand final (once & just once only for all time), if it meant I could see a WCE & Freo Grand Final.

During derbies, it is me for West Coast and the wife, son & sister-in-law all going for Freo. I take great delight when we win and normally get banished from the room when WCE win (just like when the big brother smashes up the little brother) and I thoroughly hate it when we lose.

That said, your comment is fair. (I think along the lines of you always want your little brother to do well).

I admit I have a fairly strong anti-Victorian bias (many, many years in the making) that overrides the WCE-Freo rivalry.
I suppose it is just an extended variant on the "anybody but Collingwood" feeling.

However as a Garlic Muncher fan, there is no way I will cheer for East Perth in the WAFL, even though they are now the Eagles feeder team (that also causes conflicting emotions when EP play Peel)

No offence taken and no offence intended. Hopefully this makes things a bit clearer.

P.S. For the irony lovers - the original name for West Perth when they started way back in 1885 was the "Victorians"

I never wanted my little brothers team to do well...ha ha ha.
Also do not go with anybody but Collingwood feeling.
If my little bros team was playing Collingwood and I am at the game, (once it happened) I was hoping Collingwood won that day.

That is funny about West Perth original nick name.
There was also a time when South Melbourne here were called the Foreign Legion I believe because they had quite a few West Aussies playing for them.

Never cared much whom my club plays in a grand final. As long as we win that is all that matters. No way would I ever be prepared to concede some other team beating us. Have too strong a passion for my own club to imagine such a notion. Never cared much which state a club was from that is involved in the match against us. Whether we beat West Coast, Richmond, Collingwood or Essendon at the G in any finals game, all that matters is my team be winning the flag or one stepper closer to it.
Might have to wait a good five or six years to be in that position again.
I did enjoy the first steps of Harry McKay, Jack Silvagni and Jacob Weitering last week. Lots to work with for the next decade there.

St Kilda will definitely not sack Richardson this year, he is a very good coach who will improve them well for a further while. I hope your biggest surprise comes true, but I think it is one of those few certainties in life that he will say something outrageous/stupid with great frequency

I feel bad having Fremantle having predicted as 7th.
Then I browsed other predictions and seems like every other man and his dog had Fremantle even higher and had Richmond a top 4 contender. I feel better after that seeing so far I look to have 7 of the top 8 correct.

Predicting Geelong as premiers and North runners up is going where I thought it was.
