Get to know your fellow Melbourne posters - Part II

[Crimson Azure]

Thought it might be time to start one of these for the many newer posters to Big Footy & to give it a bit more structure too. Those who have done one before might want to do it again to update where you're at.

I have put together to following template & you only have to answer the questions you're comfortable with answering. With some things like "location" you don't have to be specific you could just name the city.*

Rather than chop & change just leave the unanswered question blank.

Here is the template to use:
