The bulldog tragician

Not sure if this is right place to post this.
An Essendon fan recently decided that he'd had enough of his club's appalling behaviour in the drug scandal, its blind adherence to Cult Hird, and refusal to take responsibility. He decided to do one of the most challenging things in sport - change teams. Luckily for us he chose us, liking our connections to the community and the resilience of our fans.
He's published this piece on how it felt to go along on Saturday night and barrack against his old club. Captures the surreal experience really well. Recommend it as a fascinating perspective - how WOULD it be to go along and barrack against Murph and Morris, for example.

( I also wrote about his intriguing experience on my blog http://www.bulldogtragician.com/1/post/2014/04/product-placement.html which also contains a link to his original article)
