Grew up in Melbourne when Barassi was one of the all conquering Demons so I backed the winners. Dad was a born & bred Fotscray supporter, Mum followed Hawthorn (discovered much later her father played for Hawthorn 1918-20).
Moved to Sydney in 78. When the Swans followed I adopted them. Started going to a occasional games in the early 90s when my son was participating in one of the Auskick (though it wasn't called that then) games.
Became a member at the start of 96 (good timing ) when my son was old enough to actually pay attention to the game in progress.
