About

Welcome to Footy High dot com

Footy High is a place of passion for three guys – Sarge, Matty P and Beno – to congregate, discuss, argue and entertain about the greatest sport on earth – the AFL (Australian Football League).

Throughout the week we will pour our passion into opinionated posts based on events throughout the footy week, on and off the field. We hold our own footy tipping competition (join here), Dream Team, $100 challenge.

We encourage discussion and engagement within the Footy High community. So don’t be shy, leave a comment, participate in the polls, join the $100 challenge, talk about how great your dream team is and give us your best footy tips.

We also have links to as many footy related social media sites out there (player twitter/facebook profiles for example) and tell you what footy shows are showing on TV so you don’t miss a piece of the action!

We’ll let you know important footy dates that are coming up, like fixtures, drafts, brownlow all those important dates.

Get pumped for a great 2010 season ahead of us!

Meet the boys

Sarge

Sarge is a passionate Geelong supporter born and bred in Brisbane. Outside of footy he’s an aspiring online entrepreneur/online marketer, freelance designer, social media/blogging enthusiast that enjoys a drink, learning about food and fitness and kickin’ back to a good tune. Let the good times roll!

2010 Footy Focus:

  • See Geelong in a finals game (if they make it of course)
  • Head to Melbourne for a weekend of footy
  • Attend Gabba Games – Blues, Cats and Swans
  • Dominate Dream Team – Top 4 (after a dismal 2009 performance)
  • Reach $300 in the $100 Challenge

Matty P

Matty P bleeds maroon, blue and gold and in the morning eats his cereal out of ’01, ’02 and ’03 premiership cups. He’s been a Lions member since his age was single digits and rarely misses a game at the Gabba. Originally from South Australia, but he’s got most of that out of his system. Outside of football, he wishes he was at the footy.

2010 Footy Focus:

  • Footy weekend in Melbourne
  • Praise my club’s genius when Fev kicks his first bag
  • Deride my club’s stupidity when Fev makes the news for doing something stupid
  • Win dreamteam league again (stretching my streak to about 6 years) and finish top 1000 overall.
  • Beat Beno in the $100 challenge

Beno

Originating from the red and white city of Sydney but now living in the baby lion cub city of Brisbane, Beno is a long time member and follower of the mighty Sydney Swans and after a not so good year they have the passion back now to make an impact, so lets see what 2010 holds for the champion swans. Beno will also take you on a journey of where football is at for 2010 and into the future and cover the weekly issues with his hard hitting point of view, so sit back relax and let Beno take you on his football journey.

Footy Focus this year:

    • Beat the boys in the $100 (esp matty p) then rub it in at the end of the season
    • Get into lots of mischief when we complete our Melbourne trip
    • Share my deep knowledge of AFL with the world and create a stir with my hard hitting thoughts.
    • Take dreamteam seriously this year and show everyone who the real champion is!!
    • See my beloved Swans run riot in 2010!!
