This morning, I am a little 'horse', I have a headache, but I am glad to have both... Yesterday, the mighty Sydney Swans won the 2012 AFL Grand Final!! Final score was Sydney 14-7-91 to Hawthorn 11-15-81!!

The day started early, I went down to the MCG, a 10-15 walk from Richmond, to soak up the atmosphere. I arrived at my designated gate, No. 4!

I also caught up with some friends from Sydney, D&A were also down, (A being a tragic supporter as well!!!), and finally the gates opened!

The stadium filled quickly, all 99,683 of us, the entertainment was good, (The Temper Tramp & Paul Kelly) and then the AusKick kids came up, and stormy skies came over...

The game itself, was excellent, in that both teams had a mutual respect for each other, and the game changed so many times, especially in the final quarter!

Now I am totally confused by the scores. I guess I will never get it! Oh well! Congratulations!!!
ReplyDeleteMaribeth - there are 4 goalposts, center 2 are taller and a ball kicked through us a goal, 6 points... The outer posts on either side, are a 'behind' and is only a point.
DeleteSo, the scores are Goals-Behinds-Total!
