4th of July

I spent this 4th of July at my first footy game. The rules seem relatively simply- keep the ball moving and try to score. There are no pads and the shorts are short. Footy is the national pastime.


*Western Bulldogs cheering section.

It was a total blowout. Last years champions (known as the premiers) scored only 45 points compared to the 133 scored by the 8th ranked Western Bulldogs. I had a really good time and I'll be able to explain the rules to John the next time we go (I'll also try to capture some action shots next time).
