Child rearing for Richmond supporters

YouTube is 5 years old today. I've seen this vid before a while back and the post on BF reminded me of it. One of best vids on Richmond  ;D.

The problem is that kids tend to jump from team to team depending on who is winning at the time unless they have a strong alternative reason to support the club. My son remains a supporter only because he comes to the footy with me weekly and I've told him he couldn't do that if he followed another team. His cousin has changed teams 4 times already and he is 9!

If you had to sell the club to a young undecided child at the moment how would you realistically do it?!  ???

Tell them you'll sell them on eBay if they don't

My daughter can support anyone she likes but I have told her I will only take her to Richmond games. She doesn't really care as long as she can get her face painted and she can go to night matches and stay up late.
