Sydney Swans vs West Coast Eagles (Perth)... a modern day AFL rivarly. AFL = Australian Football League for an Australian footie game - 'Australian Rules' where there are 18 players per team compete on a huge field. For more information about this unique game, check it out here: http://afl.com.au/
It is both Haz and my first time watching a 'live' game in Australia @ the Telstra Stadium at the Sydney Olympic Park, seating more than 60,000 fans. It was electrifying to say the least and Aussies there are obviously there for good fun and hoping to see the home team (2005 AFL champ) beat their fiercest rivals (2006 AFL champs who beat the Swans by just 1 point).
Great game it turned out to be as an initial thrashing by the Eagles (who led by more than 30 points after 2 quarters) evolved into a nail biting 1 point victory by the away team!
Great experience it was, all thanks to Eagles fan, Darren Q, who very 'garang-ly' sat in the home fan section with us and wearing the Eagles jersey! Omg.. We thot that we would be beaten up if Sydney lose! Haha.. It turned out that the Sydney fans sitting around us are gracious losers and we 'escaped' unscathed... Haha..
