"I love footy"

[Xie Shan]

Okay.

Enough bickering.

Pretend, for a moment, that you have never heard of AFL, ever.

Now read this post from a blogger on LJ (it's from a few years ago).

Enjoy!

I think the captions are hilarious, and along with the pictures do a fantastic job of showcasing the unique-ness of our game. I have a number of friends who don't know a thing about AFL and I can't help wondering what they'd make of it all!

Good that Hall shows up twice under the "good sportmanship" caption.

I took #2 bro to his first game about 5 years ago and he was amazed that any mother would allow her
child(ren) to play the game. He said he'd love to have the opportunity to play it.

I liked the "they occasionally spot me in the crowd" photos.

I know what you mean, all the things about the game that we take for granted must seem pretty crazy to the uninitiated!

Here's another one from the same blogger, on that fateful night in September, 2005.

Satchmo will be very upset with you for missing her off the list of fans.
