From AFL to cricket all in a week.

 This year's grand final was played in October rather than September.

It was played in Brisbane, first time ever outside of Melbourne and the MCG (Melbourne cricket ground)

Due to Covid, quarters had been reduced to sixteen minutes instead of twenty. Of course that is actual playing time, each time the ball goes out of bounds or there is a score, the clock is stopped and then restarted once the game starts again so a quarter could go out to around twenty six or seven minutes.

Anyway it was a good game a couple of bad injuries in the first five minutes but thankfully it was part of playing not fights. I did see a bit of push and shove but not more than usual. 

The entertainment was pretty good, there was a welcome to country with 20 local indigious dancers on the field before. All the entertainment was Brisbane based, bands that I hadnt heard of but once the music started, I did recognized it. There was Wolfmother, Shepherd and Cub Sport. 

Yesterday and today we were watching women's t20 cricket, those girls are very good and thankfully they are getting more and more exposure.
