If you're an AFL fan, you'll know exactly what that means.
If not, I won't enforce the rules of AFL on you, I will just let you know that the team I support, the Sydney Swans, were not on the winning side in this year's AFL Grand Final. It would have been excellent to have won two in a row, but the West Coast Eagles were too good this year.
Nico and I went to Amsterdam last night so we could be at "Coco's Outback" pub by 6.30am, yes, you read correctly, to watch the game. It was THE place to be to watch the live telecast of the Grand Final in the Netherlands. As we were walking there in the wee hours of the morning, we wondered if anybody would actually be there!
When we arrived, we realised that there are a fair chunk of Aussies living in or visiting the Netherlands and most of them were West Coast supporters and all of them had turned up at Coco's. It was like being back in a packed and rowdy Perth pub! In true Aussie fashion, most people were drinking Crownies and Hahns. After all, it was 2.30pm at the MCG in Australia!
It was a good game, despite the loss, and a true blue atmosphere at Coco's mate!!
Cheer, cheer the red and the white!! Looking pretty good for 6am!
Scary Eagles' supporter!! Note the tense Swans' fan in the middle.
