This weekend I watched my first AFL (Australian Football League) game which was the Final. Instead of having a league they have a ladder with the two teams playing in a final game for the Championship.
I watched it at an AFL party , where a friend from work had hired out the Melbourne Soccer Club and put on a big screen and food to watch the match. Prior to the game , being a soccer club and AFL final day what else to play before the game but Gaelic Football.
I enjoyed the game and was only a few points off guessing the correct margin which I was very impressed with as I was an AFL virgin. Sydney Swans won it after 72 years so it was overdue. This weekend I have a charity ball at the Melborne Aquarium so that should be fun.
