The AFL grand final is here, and 16 fanbases are out in the cold once again. The Brisbane Lions are looking to go back-to-back, the Geelong Cats are looking to stop them, and an army of neutral, casual and undecided fans face the eternal question: which of these two teams do I dislike less?
There’s no overwhelming sentimental favourite in this year’s decider. Brisbane and Geelong are two of the premier teams of the last five years. Whoever wins, no historic title drought will break. So how does an AFL bandwagoner pick a band to wagon? It might come down to regional parochialism, to recognition of dominance, or to simple vibes.
