A lot of support and a lot of chest beating for very little return in terms of Premierships over the last quarter century.

GWS Giants = MK Dons, manufacturedc club using trendy acronyms. Nobody is sure who actually supports them.Corona Man wrote:Last year while on holiday I shared a few beers with a Pommie bloke and we started talking Aussie Rules & English Soccer. It was the day of the Hawthorn v Collingwood game. He joined me at the pub I like in Koh Samui to watch the game. As the day unfolded I explained that Collingwood were like the Manchester United of the AFL. Kind of got me thinking of what the other AFL teams, EPL equals are:
My short list - fell free to add/improve.
Collingwood = Man United. Big Fan base, opposition fans love to beat them.
Essendon = Man City - the cross town rival who occasionally comes good.
Melbourne = Chelsea - inner city toff club
Western Bulldogs = Leicester City - Bob up one year, then disappear into obscurity again
St Kilda = Preston North End - Hopeless
North Melbourne = S.c.u.n.t.h.o.r.p.e - Also broke
Geelong = Cardiff City - Strange supporter base
Hawthorn = Liverpool - They talk a bit funny
Carlton = Leeds United - were good in the 70's
Gold Coast = Oldham Athletic - just not athletic
Brisbane = Millwall - Supporters don't travel
Adelaide = Tottenham Hotspur - often around the mark, not much silverware
Port Adelaide = West Ham - from the wrong side of town
Fremantle = Notts Forrest - got close once
West Coast = Crystal Palace - Crystal Meth?
Richmond = Watford - Still owned by Elton John?
GWS = Blackpool - Also no supporter base
Sydney = Everton - Cola problems?
