The New AFL Bandwagons
The new season means new players and AFL fans at all clubs will quickly find a favourite new player to support.
Adelaide
A lot of the Crows' hopes for the future will rest with Sellar. He is big, he is local and he should be a fan favourite. James Sellar should keep the Crows out of the cellar in the AFL standings.
Brisbane
Proud should be a popular player in Brisbane. They don't have to worry about him wanting to move to another state as they do with many of their young players.
Carlton
It has to be Gibbs, and Carlton fans will once again be happy to go to the game with a number 4 jumper on.
Collingwood
Reid is the next star for Magpies fans. Might not be 2007 but it shouldn't be too far away.
Essendon
There might be couple of new players that the fans like. While Gumbleton would be the logical choice, initially it could be the exciting Jetta or the AFL-ready Hislop that have the fans cheering. There are also more opportunities at Essendon in the midfield so expect Jetta and Hislop to get more playing time. The Jetta bandwagon might be the first one to fill with fans.
Fremantle
It should be Tarrant. Dockers fans will be expecting him to be a difference maker for them.
Geelong
The Hawkins bandwagon will be overloaded before the 2007 season is over.
Hawthorn
Thorp is the player they needed in the draft, he will of course be very popular with their Tasmanian fans but all Hawks supporters will be happy to cheer for him.
Kangaroos
Hansen will instantly become one of their favourite players as soon as he plays a game.
Melbourne
Petterd might be the new Demon who gets a chance to play.
Port Adelaide
Krakouer would be the right choice here.
Richmond
Richmond fans will have the choice of Riewoldt or Kingsley. 95% of fans will be on the Riewoldt bandwagon, and there might be a 5% margin of error there as well.
St Kilda
The new, but very old, ruckmen are not the type to have the fans excited. That leaves the draft picks to consider and Armitage has the pace and flair that should entertain.
Sydney
According to Everitt he can walk around Sydney in relative anonymity, but for Swans fans he will be a welcome addition and he will have plenty of new supporters.
West Coast
There won't be a lot of playing time for the new players at the Eagles but they did draft some good prospects. Mitchell Brown may get a few games up forward and plenty of fans there will be excited with his fast leading and strong marking.
Western Bulldogs
Akermanis will have a lot of new fans. If they win the AFL Premiership in 2007 the Akermanis bandwagon will be a very popular place.
Adelaide
A lot of the Crows' hopes for the future will rest with Sellar. He is big, he is local and he should be a fan favourite. James Sellar should keep the Crows out of the cellar in the AFL standings.
