Do you follow football and who is your favourite team?

I hate football with a passion.
I know I am in the minority here but I cannot stand it even being on a television.

I often go out of the room when the sports starts every night on our news.

I find it is a rough, nasty game full of people getting injured and bashing into each other,

Well............I can take it or leave it, I would generally watch the final and maybe a few games thru the year if with someone who was madly interested......no fav team really

How very odd -out of 6 replies, none of us are mad football followers and i thought most of australia follows it as I always seem to be the only one who doesnt!

Sort of....husband loves footie. However have to say West Coast Eagles.

I don't particularly follow the footy, but I support Port Adelaide nonetheless because of my partner's family :-) It's fun!

I don't follow any football teams and I don't really enjoy watching the game. I've got friends who are avid followers and they've tried to recruit me, but it's just not my cup of tea. I can always find something more fun to do. I think it's fine for other people to watch it, I have absolutely nothing against it, but it's nothing I can get excited about and just not for me. The idea of shouting at a TV screen about a sport I can't give two hoots is a bit random.

I don't follow footy and can only watch a whole game if it's a final and a team from my area is playing.

Yes. Dockers

Yes. Essendon in the AFL. My Dad used to say that if i didn't barrack for the Bombers then I couldn't eat. Since that brainwashing, I have stuck to the red and the black

Nope. None. Whoopty-Doo.

In the spirit of 'competition', glad Qld won Game 1, State of Origin, though!

Hate, loathe and despise football. May as well bring on the gladiators.

We've always followed the Sharks, in Sydney, because 1 of my b/i/l's played for them, starting in the mid 60's. We also follow St George.
In Melbourne, it's Richmond (for our little granddaughter!) & The 'Pies, for our youngest daughter's partner.

I follow Richmond but I don't usually watch or attend the games. I will watch the Grand Final, even if my team isn't playing. Sometimes I will just have it on in the background whilst I go about my daily chores. I love a close game which is usually more exciting. I am not a rabid, fanatical supporter, but I have a quiet interest in the game.
