Grand Final Party

In Australia, everything circles around the footie (Football Ozzie Rules). At least at this time of the year… and yesterday was the Grand Final 2006 – the Sydney Swans vs. the West Coast Eagles! It was truly a grand Grand Final. An excellent game which was finally decided in the last quarter. The West Coast Eagles won with only one point difference (85:84). Some see it as the revenge from last year when the same two teams were playing in the Grand Final 2005 and the Swans won by 4 points against the Eagles.

As you all know I usually don’t follow sports on TV … but as mentioned above – you can’t avoid the footie here in Melb. ;) Originally it was the Victorian Football League but the change it to the Australian Football League (AFL) shortly. It was a big disappointment that – again – there was no Victorian team in the grand final.

I was yesterday invited to the great Grand Final Party at Robinette & Bob’s. So, I made a pavlova (again ;) on Friday night and made my way to Wheelers Hill after finishing the make-up class for MPfHP (Managing People: there was no lecture in week 1 and we had to come for a make-up class yesterday … and my group had also a case to present which actually went very well (and it’s done now :) – so, no chance to skip class)

Had a great afternoon and a really exciting Grand Final game! Thank you very much, Robinette and Bob! Looking forward to go to the MCG next season and see a footie game live! :)
