Australian Football

On saturday i went to my first Australian footy game! I asked two of my friends here in Melbourne if they would take me to a game with them. They agreed to do that but only if i would support their team. So now i'm a Collingwood supporter! I love how everyone here is so passionate about footy! I had so much fun at the game... even though Collingwood lost against North Melbourne... but it was just so exiting to be there amongst 30.000 faithful supporters screaming their lungs out to encourage their team. And it seems to be such a family thing here. Very young kids shouting "You bags of potatoes! Run faster" just made me laugh!!!

I suppose i should get into the Melbourne spirit and end this post with saying "Go Collingwood"!
