Hello from Canada

Hiyo!

Hello to all footy lovers from beautiful BC (Vancouver)

Welcome aboard ktb. Interesting username. Hope its not to cold at the moment up there in the great white north, but I know by Canadian standards Vancouver is relatively mild. The Aussie invasion of Whistler and Banff would be well under way by now.

There are a few other threads - 6 - started by Canadians who have joined this forum after discovering the game, but I think this one from Edmontonian Ogopogo started back in 2013 is the biggest and there is a lot of discussion about rules and videos of the game, so this could be a useful reference point for you.

Welcome. As I say to all Canadians that join here, because I am married to a Newfie there's always a couch for you to crash on here if you ever decide to visit.

Welcome! Nice to see a fellow Canadian get on board with this great game. As REH said, my introduction thread has a ton of great videos and information - it is probably a few pages back now but, worth looking up: http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/new-afl-fan-from-canada.998715/

Glean as much knowledge as you can from posters like this and others - they have been very kind to me and have helped me on my AFL journey. This has become my favourite sport - yes, ahead of hockey.

Go Suns!

I just read through my introduction thread again - bloody brilliant! Being new to the game, I would STRONGLY recommend it to you there is a ton of great information courtesy of REH and a series of other excellent posters. Videos, rules, book recommendations....that thread helped me to get hooked on this great game!
