Elise O'Dea is my new best friend. I talked to her for a fair while and she is great value. I was using Bigfooty as my excuse to randomly go up to people and talk - sort of "I'm here from a group that sponsor one of your players - and I had to come and say hello and let you know that you have a lot of fans in our group". It worked a treat. Also Elise said that's really nice and thanks and all, so I followed up by telling her that its an internet fan group so for all I know this could well be a bunch of pervert psychopaths living in a basement somewhere. So I flew the flag for Bigfooty and managed to be simultaneously friendly and alarming.
I have a neighbour who played with and coached Elise in Canberra, I'm trying relentlessly to arrange to meet her should she be up my way ... I'll figure out how to not make that sound stalkerish should the situation ariseShe would not have said that if I was there. I am more than a bit in love with Elise and it would have got awkward.
