AFL Grand Final

Warren's team the Hawks (from Hawthorn Melbourne) was in the grand final yesterday and of course it was a must watch. The Hawks have been in the last four grand finals and won two up til the match yesterday and they pulled that one off too, so three in a row.

We have been watching the Marnbrook footy show on Thursday nights for most of the year, its very entertaining and they have former and current players on. It is an Indigenous program and not on the regular channels. Most of those on their panel choose West Coast Eagles to win.

West Coast are a Western Australian team and had o travel to Melbourne for the final on the other hand though Hawks had played two prelim finals in the West and traveled over there.

It was reported that more than 20,000 fans came across, Virgin put on extra planes to cope and then there were forty buses that left in convoy. 98,765 was the total to be at the game.

Ellie Goulding sang at the opening. My favourite player for Hawthorn won the best on ground, he is a little demon and has a big tattoo over his chest of an eagle, can see the wings of it on his upper arms.

Most of the players got their kids involved after, one guys baby had been born earlier in the week and he was nursing him when he collected his medal.

It was a good game although Hawks were in front the whole game.

Footy is over for the year what we do on Saturdays now?
