Let me help you with this one:

First you want a team with a good base colour.

IMO black is the way to go here.
Goes with anything, good all round colour.

Then you need to add a little something too it.
So... Yellow and red go well with black.

but
Yellow is a bit girly
so
Red is the natural choice here.

You don't want to add white because then it just gets a bit busy.

So now that your left with teams that just use red and black your have.......Essendon and ......well that's it.

Problem solved.
Welcome to one of the most successful clubs in the AFL

Yellow is a bit girly? Excuse me have you ever seen yellow lipstick? Enough said!

And as it so happens the team that wears black and yellow are currently looking for a new coach, so if you've done a bit of coaching as well as looking for a new team to support, there could be a bit of synergy there.

(Yep long-suffering Richmond fan here....Sheeds where the bloody hell are ya!).

Sydney since Round 1, 1983, when they beat the Bombers by a point despite being a man down by the finish.


BTW, what did Nelson Mandela say when he was released from prison in 1990, after 27 years?

"Has Collingwood won a premiership yet?"

Have gone for the saints since i was 16, so have my sisters, parents, grandparents, and great grandparents.

Hopefully this year they will acctually get another premiership and bring the total to 2.

Could you possibly make another option or two for those of us who don't live in Melbourne?

I would pick Sydney, as it just runs through the family, and I've lived in Sydney all my life.
