With Melbourne by far the best team in the comp and favourites to go back to back this year, it was kind of reminding me of the Brisbane Lions AFL team's 3-year streak.
During this time they were fairly well supported by the city and enjoy far more support than they would have without this streak.
This got me thinking, would back to back premierships or even 3 in a row for the storm lift their profile in the same way? Everyone loves to jump on the bandwagon (just look at soccer).
Just wanted to get some thoughts (esp those who live in Melbourne) because, never having been to Melbourne, I don't know just how strong AFL is down there & would fans support a Melbourne team from another code?
Good luck to all teams in 08, esp the Broncs & Gulls!
