Been to an AFL game.
Fans buy memberships and go to every game even interstate ones. They're the people I keep away from only because they're still talking about the game on Wednesday.
Going to the MCG to watch a footy game is one of the most unique sounds to Melbourne. The roar of the crowd is indescribable.
I've been to a few "fuck the man" union strike events there, no footy but.
๐ good enough
Barnsey and all.
Best sporting experience I have ever had.
It's pretty special
Ditto! Nor any of the other codes unless you count school games. Proud of my Anti Football League pin.
Isn't that a rite of passage for Melburnians? I think I went to one my 3rd week in Australia ๐
I was born here so I never had to pass the tests.
Jus soli
First time I've heard that term, and yes.
