Despite the fact that no one else in the World plays this game, it is good fun to watch. Sydney Swans v Geelong (defending champions) - Swans actually outscored in terms of point scoring opportunities but hit more one pointers than 6 and lost by a truck load.
Swans play at the Olympic Stadium - great to go and see the Olympic Park with something happening and an unforeseen highlight - we did not realise the home games were played there!
Actually spent some time chatting to the police - they were mentioning crowd trouble at the soccer games (Rangers, Blackburn, AEK Athens and Sydney) the previous week and here we are in a mixed crowd.
Stadium holds 80,000 (ish) but only 35,ooo turned up - not surprising because Wallabies were also playing All Blacks in annual Beddisloe Cup (a bit like the Calcutta Cup for southern hemisphere neighbours).
Off to Bondi and Watsons Bay for fish & chips now.
Sounds good fun! Managed to prang (quite badly) my car yesterday! What good timing when its just gone in the paper to sell! Well done Caroline! Spent whole wend saying last goodbyes!
