Whats the criteria?

I imagine most people start supporting a team from a young age when either they follow a team because the rest of their family does, or they pick a team that they "like" (and because when you are very young you aren't really objective, that could be from having a favourite player from that team or something like that).
I'm not really sure how as an adult you decide on a team to support. I suppose one option is to pick your "local" team, but in this day and age it doesn't really work like that (besides Geelong, all the Victorian teams play at MCG or Telstra Dome, no more suburban grounds) unless you live outside of Victoria.
It sounds to me like you have a closer affiliation to Essendon and St Kilda than the other teams, seeing you actually went to that match (for whatever reason). You should probably pick between one of those two teams.
