Hey, this is Stuart. I'm from Australia and I am currently studying at High School. I firmly believe that the sporting capital of the world is Melbourne, and if you are a die-hard sports fan you must witness the finals footy atmosphere. I will follow basically anything that has the suffix ball in it, my favourite of which being Aussie Rules, or in my native tongue, football. I also enjoy the sports of Basketball, Gridiron, Motor Racing, Soccer, Hockey (Ice and field), Lacrosse, Tennis, Rugby League, Rugby Union, Track and Field and I could go on for hours. Some of my other interests include: I am academically gifted, achieving distinctions, high distinctions and prudence awards in various national tests, but I like to think that I am a humble person. My three focal subject points would easily be Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics. I used to enjoy reading, but now I only pick up a book if the author is Stephen King.
 * Eating Italian food.
 * Staying healthy.
 * Achieving my goals.
 * Watching Television.
 * Listening to music.
 * Having fun with friends.

AFL
My favourite AFL team is the St. Kilda Saints, as I was born and raised in the best city in Australia. My favourite AFL players are:
 * Robert Harvey
 * Nick Dal Santo
 * Scott West
 * Chris Judd

I have developed a strong distaste to Collingwood, Carlton and Adeliade supporters (We were robbed in 97').

Gridiron
Man, I love Gridiron. Just watching the pigskin flying through the air as Randy Moss goes up for the catch in the endzone is enough to make your spine tingle. My favourite team has, and always will be the mighty Chicago Bears. I hate Green Bay Packers fans. I hate them! My favourite player would easily be Mr. Defensive MVP, Brian Urlacher. Just watching some of the hits he dishes out to opponents nearly make you flinch. He is a superstar of the game.

Basketball
Basketball, my second love. From watching Kobe Bryant jack one up from the 3 point line to hearing the swish as it goes in, you can't describe it. My favourite team is the Dallas Mavericks (Why did we get rid of Steve Nash? You idiot Mark Cuban). Dirk Nowitzki is a superstar, and my favourite player. He is the best shooting big man of all time. Period. Mark my words. How many 7-foot people do you know in the NBA that can shoot the ball as well as he can? His defense is improving, but still needs work. Avery Johnson has been a great coach, and thoroughly deserved to coach the Western All-Stars in 2005.

Hockey
Hockey, what a great sport. The hits, the skill, the brutality, you have got to love it. My favourite team is the Calgary Flames, a great organisation. I also have a bit of a soft spot for the Boston Bruins. My favourite player would easily be Jerome Iginla, who was drafted to the Dallas Stars but ended up at the best team in the world, the Calgary Flames. Alex Tanguay can be electric, and Dion Pheneuf will soon be one of the best defensive stoppers in the league. The flames also hold the rights to the best goaltender in the NHL right now, Miikka Kiprusoff. Noone beats him at the net. Ever.
