Hi all,

I've been a reader for a couple years now and just decided to post something. I got into footy when an Aussie I met in a video game guild suggested I check it out. First game was the 2013 Hawthorn vs Fremantle GF and after watching a bunch of games the next year, I was hooked! I don't know anyone in the states here who follows AFL so I thought I would join for the conversation... And, if you're from the Chicago area, hit me up. I'd love to connect sometime and watch a game!

3 Things ALWAYS in my Shopping Trolley: Trolley? We don't have trolleys in the states. I use a proper shopping cart. lol. You'll always find dark roasted coffee, lots of fruit, and cheese.

Which Supermarket Chain Do You Prefer...Why? Woodman's...for the beer selection, of course.

Finally...3 Things I'd Like To Do/Achieve Before I die... Live hard, play hard, and watch Freo win a flag!

Cheers!
 
Problem? What problem? I don't see a problem here. ;)

It's not hard to feel the "love" WC and Freo fans have for each other despite me being literally 10,000 miles away...as it should be in a two team town. Chicago Cubs / White Sox fans have a similar rivalry here.

Enjoy your time here mate. There are a few American freo fans that post on here too.

I sure hope I run into them. I’d loooove to watch a match with another footy fan and even better if they’re a Freo supporter. Haven’t run into anybody around me who follows AFL. I actually live outside Chicago in the corn fields of Illinois. [emoji535]

Welcome to BigFooty Daddoo

Being a long time/first time you’ll probabaly be aware of the competitive nature of Australians when it comes to “our game”. Join in on the Fremantle club board, introduce yourself and get involved in the discussions. I’m not really a fan of the NFL but I do follow the Lakers and Canadiens when it comes to North American sports.
 
Non Australian becomes an AFL fan and gets attacked by eagles supporters.

Wow, classy.

A good reminder that all here remember that the introductions board is not the place for banter between supporters. Renspectfully welcome all newcomers or refrain from posting.
