Greetings, all.
I'm a Brit who has just started watching Aussie Rules (I recently moved to Hong Kong and I can't stay up late enough to watch the soccer). A mate of mine from Bacchus Marsh suggested I support Richmond, so here I am. Turns out that he thought that was a good call because, as a Liverpool FC supporter, he thought Richmond's glorious past, uncertain future, and delusional support suited me best (his own team is Geelong). The cap certainly fits for Liverpool, I'll wait to see whether it does for Richmond.
I'm exactly the sort of distant, unconnected supporter that I would be scathing about with my Liverpool hat on - apologies in advance for that. I'm certainly pleased with the team I've chosen to support so far though (even though the game against Carlton was a bit sweaty at the end).
Cheers
