I'm a 'temporary Aussie' at present working in Tasmania with two clients from . . . . erm, Melbourne! I can appreciate the 'toughness' of following Blues from afar, and it ain't much different in Boise, Idaho. At least the Cobbers and Diggers speak some kind of recognisable English! Keep up the good work and don't down too many stubbies mate. KRO Digger! JB Good job Aff.

Hi Kenders, Great to hear from another fellow 'nose out here. I know of one or two others but we're widely scattered. There's a 'nose who lives in Brisbane who uses the J & S forum - http://www.joysandsorrows.co.uk/forum - and it'd be great to have another exiled blue on there. Where about are you in Vic? I'm off to Melbourne for the Christmas holidays and my in-laws are all from Vic despite living in NSW. Have you picked an AFL team yet?! Religion in Victoria! No probs, Kev.

You are right with Fox Sports over here I see more of Blues now than I ever did back home. Onto Blues - I am excited by the new regime and I believe that the big black cloud that has been hanging over St Andrews for many years is starting to lift. If the players can start to step up and play to their abilities with a bit of 'savage' passion (Incidently I still wear my SAV 8 shirt with pride at training!) - we will start to play some entertaining football and score some goals. That is all us Blues fans have been craving for for so many years now - and entertaining football side that look like they want to play because they love the game and are not just at St Andrews for the pay cheque. Anyway I am happy with my life over here and would urge anyone to give it a go. The only thing I miss ? Live game at St Andrews - Pint of Boddigtons - and a good Chicken Madras. Keep up the good work ! Keep Right On ! Kenders Hi Aff,
