[Last of the Roys]

Age (in guernsey numbers): Redden'ish

Location: Melbourne's eastern suburbs

Place of Birth: Melbourne

Occupation: Economist

How did you choose your BigFooty username?:
I joined BigFooty right at the time when Chris Johnson announced his retirement. He was the last player to play AFL football who had played for Fitzroy. Johnno was also my favourite player right back to the last couple of years of Fitzroy.

Also my username is kind of a reflection of how I see myself - part of the last generation that grew up watching Fitzroy play in the VFL / AFL. Fitzroy was/is my passion, and now so are the Brisbane Lions.

When did you get bitten by the footy bug?
I have always loved footy since I can remember. I went to all three Fitzroy finals in 1986 when I was very young. But I guess I really started to go / watch it religiously every week from 1992, when I gave up playing Saturday basketball.

If you came into big money where would you move to?
I would have a penthouse apartment in inner-city Melbourne and something in Brisbane as well.

Hypothetical: You have a younger sister or daughter. Which Lions player would you try to fix her up with?
Luke Power

If I could eat one meal for the rest of my life it would be......:
KFC chips and crispy chicken strips

Name a movie in which the ending/twist actually surprised you:
Titanic (I really didn't see the whole ship sinking thing coming.... Actually can you believe I have never even seen it?)

What are three things that others might find surprising about you?
- my sisters went through a stage during high school of barracking for Collingwood. Luckily they came back to the Roys to see the last few years and then support the mighty Lions.
- after Collingwood's 1990 premiership my sisters tied black and white ribbons to our car. My dad and I would pretend we were Collingwood supporters when other cars honked their horns and waved at us.
- I always had a soft spot for Collingwood even though I also hate them and love beating them. I think it comes from the way Fitzroy treated Gary Pert / him moving to Collingwood.

What's something that makes you cream your dacks just thinking about it, but you'd like to do before you die?
Getting married and having kids.

What position would/do/did you play on an Australian Football field?
Never really played, which I regret heaps (I was always playing basketball). I think I would like to play on the half-back line.

Favourite computer game of all-time?
Hyper Olympics arcade game

You're out for a drink. Do you have (a) something that tastes good; (b) something that's going to get you drunk, or; (c) something that's cheap?
Something taking into account all 3 (a, b, & c), with an emphasis on b and c (only because I am not made of money).

Which Lions player/official reminds you of a cartoon character?
Toughest question - tried to think of something funny but I've got nothing.

A song or piece of music that gives you goosebumps:
Pearl Jam - The End (from Backspacer, or Pearl Jam's I Got ID or Long Road)

If you had a time machine, what year & place would you go back to visit?
1944 to see the Roys last Premiership

If you were locked in room and only allowed to hang one thing on your wall what would it be?
All in one Big screen TV / Computer (do they make them yet?)

Can you count?
I'm pretty good at maths

If there was no such thing as Australian Football, which sport (if any) could you see yourself being as fanatical about?
Love to play / watch almost all sports, but I don't think I could be fanatical about anything else.

[PTizzle]

Good thread

How did you choose your BigFooty username?: My mates twisted my music name, seems to work well online

When did you get bitten by the footy bug? Truly bitten in round 22, 1998. Was a 9 year old Eagles supporter who just felt my heart being drawn to the Lions.

If you came into big money where would you move to? Finland, Canada or Japan. Would probably just buy a place in QLD to be realistic.

Hypothetical: You have a younger sister or daughter. Which Lions player would you try to fix her up with? Claye Beams looks like one of my sisters exes and would be her type, I reckon

If I could eat one meal for the rest of my life it would be......: Aloo Gobi (or Saag), Khoresh Bomiyet if I was in my right mind, due to decent health benefits. If not probably pasta with a matriciana sauce. It'd have to be spicy though.

Name a movie in which the ending/twist actually surprised you: The Departed comes to mind. Recently I Saw The Devil. Probably forgetting a few!

What are three things that others might find surprising about you? I make hip hop music, I'm nutso about cooking and I have agoraphobia.

What's something that makes you brown your strides just thinking about it, but you'd like to do before you die? Take LSD and skydive. It's ridiculous but I'd like to experience something like that. If going to space was avaialble I'd take that in a second.

What position would/do/did you play on an Australian Football field? Back pocket or forward pocket. Asked to be dropped to reserves frequently so I could play up forward .

Favourite computer game of all-time? Jagged Alliance 2, Fallout 2, Medival Total War, Lufia II and Final Fantasy X.

If you had a time machine, what year & place would you go back to visit? Honestly I'd love to just go back 10 years and try some things I could have been good at again. But for a more interesting argument it would be really interesting to see 1700s France or the Roman Empire. 1800s England fascinates me too for some reason, too many books for me I think.

If you were locked in room and only allowed to hang one thing on your wall what would it be? I have a Buddhist wall hanging I quite like.

Can you count? I hate maths.

If there was no such thing as Australian Football, which sport (if any) could you see yourself being as fanatical about? Cricket or basketball. For playing, table tennis or rugby.

[____]

Age (in guernsey numbers): A number between Brown and Patfull.

Location: Brisbane

Place of Birth: Brisbane

Occupation: Uni student and part time worker.

How did you choose your BigFooty username?: My favourite football (soccer) team.

When did you get bitten by the footy bug? Started seriously following Australian football in 2004 when I really got into the whole 4-in-a-row thing. Finally became a Lions member in 2011 (would've became a member earlier but couldn't due to family reasons).

Name a movie in which the ending/twist actually surprised you: Austin Powers

What are three things that others might find surprising about you? Even though I would appear to be an extrovert to some people, I definitely consider myself an introvert. I'm actually a very lazy person yet I always finish my assignments/tasks on time and hated it in school when other people did not hand in their assignments on time. And when people find out I follow AFL, it surprises some that I have never been to Victoria, once even met a North Melbourne fan who thought I was from Victoria even though he knew I supported the Lions (and Broncos in the NRL).

What position would/do/did you play on an Australian Football field? I did Auskick for a year and changed positions a lot, but I liked being a ruckman.

Favourite computer game of all-time? Spin Doctor or Sim City 2000

You're out for a drink. Do you have (a) something that tastes good; (b) something that's going to get you drunk, or; (c) something that's cheap? I'm a uni student, so I have to say cheap. But I don't really drink much.

Which Lions player/official reminds you of a cartoon character? Mr Burns' son off The Simpsons looks like a fat version of Michael Voss.

A song or piece of music that gives you goosebumps: Wish you were here by Pink Floyd, Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen, Layla by Eric Clapton and Karma Police by Radiohead.

If you had a time machine, what year & place would you go back to visit? Would've loved to go to a live Beatles, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin or Queen concert.

If you were locked in room and only allowed to hang one thing on your wall what would it be? A window so I can escape.

Can you count? I was able to count to 1000 in pre-school (true story).

If there was no such thing as Australian Football, which sport (if any) could you see yourself being as fanatical about? I'm also a big fan of the round ball game, so that would be my sole primary sport. I love cricket as well but don't really have as much time to follow it as I used to (except during the summer break). As winter sports go, I'd probably follow Rugby League more fanatically by default.
