Sydney Swans (AFL)
Bulldogs (NRL)
Brumbies (Rugby Union)
NSW (SOO)
NSW and Australia Cricket teams
Sixers (BBL)
Diamonds (Netball)
Socceroos
Hockeyroos
Australia in everything else

3. What teams do you dislike?
Collingwood - They make me sick I hate them that much. They are "above" all others
Manly - They also make me sick I hate them that much. Also "above" all others
Eagles, Roosters, Broncos. GWS, Kangaroos - Hate them too but less than the ones above
The English Cricket team - Assholes
The Melbourne Stars - Cheats
Manchester United - Everyone who loves soccer tells me I should hate them and they are the Collingwood and Manly of the EPL etc. Good enough for me!

4. What sporting individuals do you support?
Adam Scott
Lleyton Hewitt

5. What sporting individuals do you dislike?
Ricky Ponting - with the fire of a billion suns I hate this man
Tiger Woods - Asshole
Maria Sharapova - the screaming does my head in
Serena Williams - worst sport ever
Sebastian Vettal - scumbag

6. Do you prefer to watch sport live or on TV? Why?
Depends on the sport. AFL is better live because lots happens off the ball. NRL/cricket/netball the camera follows the action so its good on TV.

7. What are your favourite sporting moments of all time?
Swans - 2005 and 2012
Bulldogs - 1995 and 2004 (been alive for more but they were most memorable)
Cricket World Cup Semi against SA (greatest last over/run out)
Steve Waugh's "Perfect Day". I sob every single time I see it.
Steve Waugh scoring 200 in the West Indies.
Mens 4x100 Freestyle Relay in 2000. The whole room screaming at the TV and then jumping up and down hugging each other
Newcastle beating Manly in 1997 GF. We (me, brother, father) were all watching in separate rooms and joined up in the lounge to dance around. My mother (who gave them no shot and went to the movies!) walked in going WTF is happening!?
Steve Bradbury winning gold. It was SO awesome.
Adam Scott winning the Masters.
We lost, but the Ashes in 2005 when Brett Lee and Kasper fell just short and Freddy came over while his team carried on like tossers. Its burned into my brain.

8. Do you have a sporting hero? If so who?
Steve Waugh. I absolutely love the man. Have for almost 30 years.

9. If you have a hero, have you met them? What did you say? If you haven’t what would you say?
No, I haven't. I don't think I would handle it well. It would be impressive if I didn't cry put it that way.

10. Do you watch:
a. The Olympics (Summer and Winter) Yes
b. The Commonwealth Games Yes
c. The World Cup When Australia plays

11. What sporting event have you not been to that you would like to attend?
I have to go to a GF. But I don't think I can handle it if its my Swans or Dogs I went when the Brumbies won in 04. One of the best nights ever.

12. What sporting event have you been to that you would never go to again??
None. But i'm never keen on being around Collingwood fans. I hate them.

13. Why do you love sport??
Because it can give you such immense and pure joy. And because it makes you feel like a part of something, part of an experience.
