The adventures of a Danish fan

[Denmark AFL]

This is my first blog abouy my experiences of footie....

Enjoy!

I was born in Copenhagen on February 14, many years ago. Yes, that is valentines day.

In my homeland, I loved the world game known as football to many - I still call the name this. I saw my favourite team, FC Kobenhavn win the national league lots of times and I was very proud of them.

Football was the only sport I knew of until one day I spotted a team called the Copenhagen Crocodiles Australian Football Club. At first, I was wondering what is "Australian Football"..I ended up checking it out. I found out that Australian Football was the number one sport in Australia - geographically and demographically. I watched a few games and understood the rules pretty well after watching a few games. I ended up playing for this side as a full forward and we won the premiership in 1999 - my best achievement to date.

After winning this, I got more and more curious about this fantastic sport. In 2005, I took a trip to Melbourne from Copenhagen via the world to watch some top flight footie action - the best league in the world.

The game I went to see was Melbourne v Geelong at the MCG. I was there with 50,000 other fans. At this point, I did not support a side in the AFL - I was just a curious fan. I loved every part of this game, it was awesome to see great players run around and having fun. Melbourne ended up smashing Geelong by heaps. It was the best experience of my life seeing players like Neitz play. He was my instant hero so I started following this team.

Unfortunately this was the first and only game I went to on my trip as I had to go back to Copenhagen to see my sick father who has thankfully recovered from his sickness.

When I was back in Denmark, I watched highlights of every game of AFL action for two seasons straight - sometimes I watched full games of Demons games. It was great. I got my friends or as you guys like to say, mates informed of this sport and they thoroughly enjoyed it and started playing themselves for the Crocs.

I didn't get to come out to Australia, the real land of opportunity for another few years. I came out again, this time to Newcastle to study and go to some footie matches. Although this place is unfortunately ruled by Drugby/Thugby League and Football, it still has some real good footie action in the Black Diamond Cup and I have enjoyed watching it this season.

Unfortunately now the Demons are not doing so well (last place) but I am looking forward to what next season can deliver for us and a good draft pick. I managed to get to a game against the Swans in Melbourne earlier this season which was a great experience.

Although we are suffering at the moment on and off the field, I am looking forward to a bright future at this footie club and hope we can continue to shine for another 150 years.

Good post Frank see if you can turn some more Danes onto Aus Rules.
Used to drink at the Danish Club in Middle Park sometimes years ago. Lots of fun

Cool story, I'd like to hear more. Are you making it to the International cup?

 

[benjamin]

The Danish league keeps very detailed records. 15 Danes played for the Crocs in 1999. None of them were called Frank (for a given name anyway) and none of them were born on February 14.

geez.. if you gonna lie then make sure you get your facts right before posting.

I wonder if the tool has ever been in Denmark? Considering his previous posts here on bigfooty, it's pretty obvious he doesn't even know the Danish language...

i am not lying.

and you say i dont know the language of my homeland..LOL you're a funny one

 

[benjamin]

Yes I would.

But you're not serious are you moonshine??? If you had played in DAFL you would know that our records are probably the most meticulous in international footy.

OK, for starters, here is a list of every match the Crocs played in 1999:
http://www.thefootyrecord.net/dbcomp2.php?acct=DAFL&c=13&page=fr&f=yes&t=1

If you click on the link at the right, you will go to the full scores of each match including the team lists of each competing team on the day.

Also you say you played full forward in what was a premiership team. Here is a link to the Crocs' goalkickers that year: http://www.thefootyrecord.net/dbcomp2.php?acct=DAFL&c=13&page=gk&f=yes&t=1
The most by a Dane is 11. Which one are you?

If that's not enough for you, the original match documents of those games are in my garage.

Now, I'm not saying you never played for the Crocs, but if you are a troll and are just full of it, then you picked the wrong league to hang it on, buddy.

Still no explanation from you that no Crocodile player was born on 14th February on the playing list of 1999.
And as for the Danish language you completely ignored a question in an earlier thread that was asked in Danish?
