"I love footy"

[Xie Shan]

Okay.

Enough bickering.

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

Now read this (http://sprout-thang.livejournal.com/93503.html) 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 (http://sprout-thang.livejournal.com/114855.html) from the same blogger, on that fateful night in September, 2005.

Now read this (http://sprout-thang.livejournal.com/93503.html) post from a blogger on LJ (it's from a few years ago). Someone tell Stella that Schauble's in one of the pics.

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