Just spent the afternoon at one of Melbourne's more spiritual centres - the MCG (pictured) where I watch the mighty Blues run over the top of our arch rivals the Magpies.
Ok that sentence probably didn't make much sense to non Aussies - I'm talking about Australian Rules Football - Footy as we call it. My team is 'Carlton' and adjoining suburb to where we live and their logo/nickname is 'the Blues'. The other team is 'Collingwood' (who Phil over at Signposts goes for (not that I'm rubbing it in) and their logo is a 'Magpie'.
Anyway, all this to say I had a good afternoon doing something almost as Aussie as it gets.

I am with Tim - but I am too scared to say the "L"word, because it will probably get me banned from coming here....

"almost as Aussie as it gets?" I know there are some teams outside Victoria, but that's excluding a lot of people. LOL I think I have watched one game of Aussie rules...when the Swans played a (semi?) final some years ago. I'd much rather watch Union than anything else.
Shalom,

We lost to those no hopers at Carlton?
It is the end of civilisation as we know it!
