the reason I was NOT born a Sandgroper & are a Croweater who follows the Power is because my darling Grandmother who lived in Perth then Subiaco was the only one of her family to marry a South Aussie & moved back here to SA.My grandparents lived right in the heart of Port Adelaide as did my Mum & I as kids - so it's in the blood.
As many of you know I have many of my family over in Perth who I recently caught up with.My dear old Uncle Joe apparently was one of the champion players in his days for East Freo - who I believe were the forerunners of the West Coast Eagles.The trouble is these days is 1/2 of my WA family follow the Dockers & the other 1/2 barrack for the Eagles.So I'm stuffed if the 2 teams are playing each other as to who to barrack for.
All I know is a very dear friend of mine off the forum (Caz) will never ever want to drive me past Subie oval again - she'd be too embarrassed <LOL> When we drove past it last trip I stuck my head out the window & screamed out at the top of my voice - "GO the Power " She slid down in her seat & tried to hide <VBG> I wondered exactly WHY she put the child locks on the windows after that ? <LOL>
Anyway no matter what even though I am a born & bred South Aussie I will always have a lot of WA in my heart - I just hate the Crows ! I couldn't understand the recent comment of someone asking WHY would anyone wanna watch Aussie Footy in Bali, blimey this stuff flows through our blood.Each to his or her own I suppose.
