Ahh footy,
the most classic of Melbourne experiences! The season runs through winter and
is one of the top weekend experiences to be had during the colder months here
in Melbourne.
Now I’m no
massive fan by any stretch of the imagination but I do have a team (go North
Melbourne!) and I adore watching games live. A couple of weekends ago I was
invited to watch a Port Power/Collingwood game with my Port Power crazy family.
We cheered, we sang, we laughed at the drunken fans and the guy that ran into a
pole and then we rolled our eyes because Collingwood won and that just sucks.
Just like
every time to go to a game I promise myself that I should go more often, but I
think more than anything I love the family time. Whether its with my dad or
with my cousins and aunt and uncle it will be something that I’ll try to do for
years to come. Also bonus points to my friend Rose who is a real life AFL goal
umpire – one day I’ll get to a game of hers and I’ll be the crazy lady
screaming for the umpire rather than the players.
For us in Australia, and even more so in Melbourne, the AFL is less of a game than it is a way of life. It’s much more fun to embrace the crazy then it would be to fight against it. With another season almost coming to an end I’m feeling a little sad. However after last nights spectacular finals win by our Kanga’s things are looking up and footy fever is at an all time high.
