Take him to a Norwood - Crows match where Norwood should win and tell him that's why you ain't getting a crows membership

Haha had the same dilemma when my son was about the same age. Took him to Richmond Oval and we won a game, was when were really struggling, Daniel Caire came over and gave him a footy. Cured!

No chance of getting him back on the Norwood wagon after they got thumped by North.
In regard to the Crows thing, try gradually assimilating them back into normal society.

I get along side & politely let him know his lights aren't on, get the finger in return.
I may or may not have slightly veered into his lane before continuing on my way.

If I could get him on the North wagon instead of the Crows version it would still be a win.

I wouldn't wish either on any kid. Even my daughter saw the light and is a proud Panthers fan now.
Mind you she also follows Arsenal :?

Simple. No Norwood, no dinner.

All jokes aside, this encapsulates the challenge the SANFL clubs face in creating and keeping the next breed of loyal club supporters.

Even though JK's a dyed-in-the-wool redlegger, no parent no matter how passionate can control the effect the glitz and bright lights that the Crows and Power offer on an impressionable young footy-loving kid, particularly when all their schoolmates probably barrack for an SA AFL team. The power of peer-group pressure will be what delivers the Crows and Port the next generation of fans at the expense of the SANFL.

Of course, the clubs voted for this, my club in particular, so they'll reap what they sow. As the 'old guard' gradually moves on, the clubs will realise they eventually cut their own throat with someone else's knife.

This eventually was going to happen anyway, the days of kids getting along to SANFL games and supporting a side began dying the day the Crows entered the AFL, and then again more so when Port did.

SANFL is a 2nd tier competition now, and with the promotions/media/advertising/tv rights etc kids are flooded with AFL images and propaganda, they're more likely to follow AFL exclusively than the local side who they very little affiliation with.

Yes, you're right, but this is amplified considerably by the presence of the two reserve teams (which I forgot to add in my above rant).
