Long time, no post..

That recent Western Bulldogs ad that's been on here in Melbourne has
got me inspired to compile the definative and exhaustive list of which
teams are followed by which celebs, politicians and other assorted
famous types.

No matter how C grade they are post them here and i'll put up the full
list after i've researched it for a bit..

Here's the absolutely basic and compiled in two minutes version that I
just did.

Um, isn't it cheating to use ex-players? :)

BTW, I did some of the obvious politicians, but forgot Joan Kirner. D'oh.

Another just to pop up in my mind: Mel Gibson for (surprise) the Bombers
also.

And for the Sainters: HEADLEY! ("Biggus Dickus" "Headley" "Biggus
Dickus" "Headley" "Biggus Dickus" "Introduce me to your guests")

Viv Richards for the Dons.

Since someone mentioned TISM, I went off and looked at the lyrics for
"Jung Talent Time", and couldn't pluck a single new one from all the
names! :(

Lleyton Hewitt and Darren 'Boof' Lehman....one is a prat at times and the
other is a legend, which in a weird kind of a way sums up not only our
playing list, but virtually every other teams as well.

I used to work with Daryl Timms many moons ago and he is definitely not a
Collingwood man. He barracks for Hawthorn.

I also thought he was Carlton.

Geoff Poulter (Herald-Sun) barracks for North

And the worst addition ever to Melbourne radio Stan Zemanek has plucked for
Carlton.

He's a mate and intellectual equivalent of Senor Skase's but, as far as I
know, does not qualify for celebrity status.

> Peter Liddy (Former South Australian Magistrate)

You said you were after 'celebrities', which I believe means that they have
to be a person who is 'celebrated' or famous. As a convicted paedophile, I'd
suggest that Peter Liddy fails to qualify. Given his assoication with
lifesaving and the sea, I'd suggest he's more likely to have affinity with
the Port crowd.

NO! Madden is a public figure in his own right now, aside from the footy
club, so I reckon it counts.

Also add Richard Pratt to the list. (Yes, he used to be on the board,
Dave...so what?!)

Either that, or it was one hell of a coincidence :)

For those confused, we refer to 'The Party Show', which runs from
Saturday midnight through to 2 am. The host is a reasonably (!) vocal
Saints barracker...

Come on! Have you named every hack in the country...Rohan Conolly and
Patrick Smith are the only two footy hacks there who qualify for celebrity
status. Otherwise you might as well put Mic Cullen under the Richmond
section - well I did see an article by him in The Age about a month ago, but
that doesn't make him a celebrity. Sorry Mic! :-)

Justin Langer is a West Coast Eagles fan ... I asked him this in
Trinidad on behalf of rabid Carlton fan Shaun (who used to post on
this group)

Also, the drummer of Men At Work is a Geelong fan ...

He's a former #1 WCE ticket holder, I don't see why he would have jumped ship
(shithouse performances under Ken Judge notwithstanding :)

Don't know that he goes for her, but I'd say he's definitely a supporter!

actually heard of but apparently turned out to be duds. I believe it's

I'll settle for Elle; gotta be happy with that. I wonder what her box
is like? She would have to have a corporate one. The marketing people
should be onto this. Become a member and win a quarter of football in
Elle's box at Colonial Stadium. Membership would probably double!

So, which rule does Sigrid Thornton break? or is she not famous enough? I

True. He was at the Richmond function last year just before the Ashes
tour because he was at the match with Simon Katich, who is a rabid Tiges
fan.

Gary Sweet is seen anywhere. He hangs out at virtually any sporting
funcition in the vain hope that someone will recogise him.
