last Saturday it finally happened: I was the first time live at the Footy. With Anne and some 77,000 others, I have the game against Carlton Collingwood seen in Melbourne Cricket Ground. As Anne because of the jersey color for Carlton and I was ignorant, I spent the day as a Collingwood fan.
Aussie Rules Football, as it actually is, is the popularity comparable with Fussell in Germany, the sport is in itself but a completely different. More like American Football, I would say. However, it is played on a circular field. And everything seems to be allowed. Constantly lying around somewhere men pile and the ball (they say this ball? ") Of which one could only imagine yet. What for then the referee running strong at first I wondered, until I found that were responsible for running the objections. Backwards and a very exhilarating spin leg technique:) In contrast to the male-dominated stands at Fussell rounds can be found here as well the different types of people in the audience: men, women, children and entire families - virtually an excursion for young and old;) The size of the MCG and the corresponding crowd, the noise level very impressive, but I want to complain at this point that I Join fan chants have been missing. Only at the end of the team anthem of the winning team was recorded. Nevertheless, in the category Fanmusik it is 1-0 for Millerntorstadion:)
