Nail biting finish

Last week we went to our third match of football for the season. We try to get a package each year if we can, not followers of Brisbane lions but if we want to see a live game then this is our option unless we want to pay lots of money to go to Melbourne.

Our seats are set for each game and they are in the second tier which doesnt sound too bad but it is still up 54 steps, I know because I count the buggars. Good view though once we get there.

The game went as I thought with the opposition, Geelong, being about three goals in front at halftime, I was hoping that it would stay like that and not get any worse. Of course the prediction was that if Brisbane were to win, they would go to top position and knock Geelong from top to second.

The game seesawed a bit and then Lions kicked two in quick succession, was it possible? There was another one kicked and suddenly with 90 seconds to go, Lions were in front by two points, could they hold on. Oh, no, its coming down Geelong end, a free was given on the 50 metre line, to not a known goal kicker. He lines up and its looking good but hits the post, resulting in a point. Back to the centre, there is time for either team. Desperate play from both and then the siren. Heavens above, Brisbane has won and taken top spot. The crowd went wild and gave a standing ovation.

The road from our stand, the buses are lined up ready to take the punters back to the station at the end of the game.
