I find it leads to good discussion and limits the extremes. As a Doggies supporter remembering the 61 GF, I have been through enough to have some immunity when things haven't gone well.
Have had some magic days
with a St Kilda fan at Waverley in 92
with a Bombers fan at Marvel on that night in 2000
Even met up with Geelong fans for the Harry Taylor shank night last year.
Well done Joe. I was at the 61 gf as a boy with my dad. Thought we had a great chance at half time.

Luckily the convert is almost complete now that we have a daughter.

I find that since Footscray have come along that you can convert them by stages. Lots who live in the western suburbs aren't overly keen on their club (it's usually a family connection), want to follow the Bulldogs but wouldn't normally consider it an option.
If you can convince them that following Footscray isn't a total betrayal and you can convince them to like a certain player by the time that player progresses to the seniors then the job is done. So far I've converted a Carlton supporting mate (he thanked me after 2016 and said he couldn't imagine a similar ride with Carlton)-his whole family (mum, wife and kids are now Bulldogs even though his uncle captained Carlton to a premiership) a Collingwood supporting mate and the lady at the chemist shop who supported North when I started shopping there.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.
