Our first AFL Game!

We attended our first Australian Rules Football (AFL) Game...footy, as they call it here. It was a great time, even though Sydney lost miserably. It was the Sydney Swans vs Collingwood Magpies. It was really neat though because we watched it in the Sydney Olympic Stadium. Here are a few photo highlights of the game. We hope to make it to a rugby match next.

Mandi & Julie -- probably discussing whether we should get another beer or not :-)

Tom and his dad -- this is how Tom looked when there was still a chance that the Sydney Swans might pull it off and come back for a win.

This is Tom when we all realized that there was absolutely NO hope for them to win!
