Footy Grand Final (the Superbowl of Footy) was last Saturday. A group of us hung out at Spice Market and then the Carlton Hotel Friday night, two very cool hangout spots in the CBD. Saturday, Bec and I watched the Grand Final at London Tavern, of course yet another cool hangout spot in the suburb called Richmond (very close to the Footy Stadium). The crowd was massive and just as rowdy as any American football crowd .
The match was Collingwood Magpies (Black and White Vertical Striped jerseys) vs. Geelong Cats (Blue and White Horizontal Striped jerseys).
Now Collingwood has a reputation around here that their fans are treacherous, their players are dirty rule breakers and many of their supporters have missing teeth. Therefore, we all opted to cheer for the Geelong Cats.
The match was close, a back and forth game until the fourth quarter when Geelong stepped it up and killed Collingwood 118 to 91!
The crowd in London Tavern went crazy with chants going from one side of the large venue to the other. It certainly was an experience, I even got caught up cheering on the team and yelling out loud with some fist pumps when Geelong scored.
Now that the Final is over, it's time to begin looking at Stats, Records and Players to choose which team I will "go for" next year.
Love the Footy!
