Super Bowl Weekend Aussie Style

If you think that football is big in North America, it is crazy here too although it's Aussie Rules Football. No gear, a rugby type ball and 4 goal posts. Yesterday was the replay of last weekend's Grand Final that ended in a 61-61 tie. Yesterday though, the Magpies whipped the Saints. The game brought in 90 million additional revenue dollars with the replay. I think there will be overtime next time. As we found out, this Victorian game is a religion down under.

Today is the Rugby League Grand Final. You get 6 tackles to score a try. I am looking forward to seeing this game. My money is on St. George Dragons. They play the Sydney Roosters. Should be interesting. The newspapers is full of pregame hype.

My son-in-law Adam, would love to see today's game.
