Hello one and all!
I'm a very recent convert to Australian football, having just started watching it this season with an Australian friend who is currently living in the UK. It's an amazing game and it captured my interest straight away - I love how fast-flowing and skilful it is, like the good bits of a rugby match without half as many frustrating stops and starts! I have family connections to Geelong so I've adopted the Cats as my team, although I'm still in the very early stages of learning about the game, the team and its history, but we'll get there.
Australian football is virtually unknown here in Scotland. I was surprised to discover that there is an AFL Scotland and an AFL England - I've lived here all my life and followed sports, but had never heard of them! It's a fantastic game and I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who would love it if they were introduced to it.
Best wishes to you all and see you around,
Peter
