Grand Final Day - 4 Oct 2008

On October 4th, we went out to JP's for a party to watch the Grand Final. According Wikipedia,

"The AFL Grand Final is an annual Australian rules football match, traditionally held on the final Saturday in September at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne, Australia to determine the Australian Football League premiership champions. The game has become significant to Australian culture, spawning a number of traditions and surrounding activities which have grown in popularity since the VFL/AFL went national in the 1980s. In 2006, the Sweeney Sports Report concluded that the AFL Grand Final became Australia's most important sporting event,[1] with the largest attendance, metropolitan television audience and overall interest of any annual Australian sporting event."
