Hello!

[YankeeCatFan]

Hi everyone!

I'm posting from the USA, so hello to all you folk down under! I am not the biggest Aussie Rules expert, as I've only been able to catch bits and pieces on ESPN, as well as that awful afl.com.au web site. Although I am keen to know more about my beloved cats.

So why Geelong? The first match I ever saw had the legendary Gary Abblett. Wow, that guy could do anything! I was instantly hooked. I know his son is playing for the club now and is doing quite well.

So I'm hoping you guys who are much closer to the action can keep me informed with all the off-season news. Catch you later!

Doug.

Doug, from one Yank to another, welcome aboard. (A transplanted San Jose native here.)

Will Fox Sports World still be giving fans in the USA a replayed game per week and a highlights show? That's what they were doing a couple of years ago before I made the move overseas here.

Welcome to BigFooty-- and if you ever have any questions, do not hesitate to ask.

Welcome to our board Doug, hope you enjoy your time on here and continue supporting the Cats from over in America. You should get along great with You_Idiot, who is originally from the US before moving to Australia a couple of years ago.

Don't hold the San Jose thing against him though.

Especially since he's from Chicago.

Only meant in good fun, Doug... like I said previously, welcome aboard, and we look forward to reading your comments during the upcoming season.

Wow! Another Yankee Cat Fan!!! What're the odds of that???

Thanks for the links guys, I will check them out. By the way, is the membership on AFL.com.au worthwhile? From memory they let you download full video of all the games or something like that?
