First, we started our day with Magpie Burgers with the lot - skaterboi1973 was right in nominating this as a gourmet highlight of Sydney footy.
Yummy !!
Second was the Anzac ceremony which was a sensitive and thoughtful way to acknowledge the day. At a pretty setting like Picken, warm sunshine, good crowd, it was something to treasure.
Third was the quality of the footy that followed. Wests may be at the low end of the ladder as they have been on recent past Anzac days, but they always rise to the occasion and turn on exciting positive footy. Penno escaped with a win by 8 points or so but Wests have plenty of positive takeaway from the game. Robinson (#26) in the midfield impressed, as did Gordon (#30) in ruck and up forward and Zoppo (#29) up forward.
Over on the eastern flank, the local cheer squad was in full voice, giving it mercilessly to the visitors. But, couldn't believe my eyes, at game's end they collected all their rubbish into the Hilux to be taken home with them.
A great day at the footy and a shout-out to Wests for doing it all so well.
