Blues Win It

We took advantage of today's lovely winter weather to stroll over the MCG to catch a little footy action: Carlton vs. Western Bulldogs. As we strolled up to the arena, a kid selling raffle tickets opened his pitch with "is this your first footy game?" So apprently we still have some work to do on blending in. Perhaps it was our complete lack of team paraphenalia, or maybe we looked too sober. In any case, despite the two teams not exactly being in the top tier of the ladder at the moment, it proved to be a good game - a few changes of lead and a close contest down to the wire. This of course meant that we got to hear all manner of classic Aussie sledging and shouting of obscentities right down to the last buzzer. Nice!
