JustusSporting allegiance It's impossible to escape sport in this country and, after a while, you get to think that maybe it would be OK to at least notionally support a team or two. These are my allegiances. The oldest is to Hawthorn. I remember sitting as a little boy on my grandfather's veranda, listening with my grandfather and uncle to a radio broadcast of a Hawthorn game. I think it may have been the first semi-final of the 1957 season, when Hawthorn 10-11-71 defeated Carlton 6-12-48 on 31 August. As I was born close to Hawthorn, I decided to be a supporter! But I don't think I ever got to go to a game, as we lived a very long way from the city. There are so many competitions; most interesting are cricket and soccer (international football). ![]() The Hawks (Australian Football League) | ![]() Sydney FC (A League soccer.) | ![]() The ACT Brumbies (Super 14 rugby) | ![]() Melbourne Storm (National Rugby League) | ![]() Canberra Capitals (Womens National Basketball League) | ![]() The Bushrangers (Victoria's state cricket team) | ![]() The Australian Cricket team | ![]() The Socceroos | ![]() The Kookaburras and the Hockeyroos. | ![]() Australia's Davis Cup team. | | |||||||||||
