I'm Colin, 39 years old, from Wales. That's in the UK for those that don't know, ha! My mate from Brisbane was over a few weeks ago and thought Wales was somewhere in England Doh!

I'm a 3d visualisation designer for a consultant engineering company and I support Collingwood. I'm also a Manchester United fan, as well as the Dallas Stars, Ottawa Senators and Finland national ice hockey teams. I love F1 too, with Fernando Alonso being my favourite driver (it used to be Mika Hakkinen before he retired).

Started watching the AFL in the late 80's then had a gap when it didn't seem to be on TV in the UK so missed a massive chunk of it until by accident I noticed it on ESPN towards the start of the 2010 season, which I guess is pretty good luck as that was when we won the Premiership

Coming over to Australia in March next year for a holiday, planning on seeing the Melbourne GP as well as 3-4 Collingwood games, plus visiting Brisbane, Sydney and maybe Perth too. Can't wait.

Looking forward to hanging out on the boards.

Cheers,
Colin

Welcome. Although there won't be as much activity i reckon in a few weeks once trading period has finished. Hope you stick around until pre-season 2013 kicks off, the site should pick up again.
