To give everyone a bit more of an idea about the bloke who's giving them advice about their team, or spamming each thread with nonsense or just reguarly posts on here, lets do a little intro thing. I've listed a bit of q&a below, feel free to add what you like.

Fave team: Essendon
Fave current player: Lucas although he can be frustrating as hell, Lonergan and Reimers as future stars
Fave player of all time: Probably like most Essendon supporters James Hird without a doubt, poise, skill, class and heart all rolled into one. Doubt we'll ever see a player of his type again.
2nd fave team: Stk - will they ever get it right?
Most hated team: Collingwood (funnily enough), supporters have a tendency to be a little overconfident when things are going right
Fave player not at your club: Buddy - arrogant, flashy, big, strong, true showman..never know what's gonna happen when you watch him

SC years experience: this will be my 3rd
SC blunder of this year: Getting rid of Richo the week before they decided he'd be playing on the wing D'OH
SC must have next year: Pendlebury to join the elite mids
SC who to avoid: Kerr and Hall :D BJ maybe.
SC aim for this year: top 5k (unlikely) and to post some consistent scores towards the end of the year (also unlikely with the chain of injuries)

Have you or do you play: played juniors up until 16's
Position: ruck/ruck rover/ff as i got older (and less fit haha)
Greatest achievement: Couple of games for a development squad at Western Jets - u wouldn't believe how hard they train u

Ok that's almost killed enough time before the Ess v Coll game :D
I've added a poll question as well, mods please don't move this as it's loosely linked to SC :p
 
Fave team: Richmond
Fave current player: Richoman, Bartel, S.Black
Fave player of all time: M.Richardson
2nd fave team: probably the saints or doggies
Most hated team:
Carlton
Fave player not at your club: toss up b/t Gablett/Bartel/Buddy/Roo

SC years experience: 3rd year
SC blunder of this year: A few. Getting caught up in the Nicoski hype pre-season, trading valenti after round 3, trading griffen for s.black 2 weeks too early and not leaving 1-2 extra trades left for this time of the year (have 4 left, 2 of which will need to be used to finish upgrading my backline)
SC must have next year: Adcock, Pendlebury, Deledio, Dangerfield, Mackie and of course one either of Bartel or Ablett.
SC who to avoid: H.Shaw
SC aim for this year: top 6-8 thousand, currently sitting around 10,000th

Position: Full Forward/Ruck and Centre Half Back

Fave player of all time: Glen Archer
2nd fave team: Richmond

Most hated team: Collingwood

SC who to avoid: I'll prob stay away from BJ unless he's cheap.
SC aim for this year: To win League and regani the Gazza pr0n Star Cup (named after Dad) from my brother in our head to head clash this week.
Have you or do you play: Still playing in the social league here in London. TFL/NTFL in Tasmania.

My record in fantasy sports is pretty good. I take 'em seriously! I've made a tidy profit in my 7 years in a fantasy draft league, where I've come runner-up 3 times in 6 years on the back of 3 minor premierships. Just haven't been able to win the big one, yet, despite kicking two of the highest 8 grand final scores ever in the league... I STILL haven't won. Maybe this year. I'm a monty for another minor premiership. Maybe I won't choke this year...
 
IsDonIsGood is very similar to me (except for I hate Franklin and he likes Franklin). Every time Franklin gets a clanger, i laugh. Every time he kicks a goal, I'm sad....lol

SC aim for this year: Top 1,000 (very optimistic, I know)

Have you or do you play: played juniors up until 18's.
