pomcrow
Senior List
I returned from a trip around Australia in January, where I had the pleasure to spend a few weeks with my girlfriend’s cousins who live in Gawler. During my time there I was introduced to the weird and wonderful world of Australian Rules football.
After some initial resistance (to be fair all most pomms know about the game is signal for a goal!), I really got into it.
I have got into the game so much, I have started taping the weekly (admittedly cr***y) afl (no SANFL in England) highlights.
Then it came down to which team to support. This is when I learnt about the “differences” between vfl/afl and sanfl. I know the politics can be a pain, but look at it this way - its a sign that a game has history if such rivalry exists! Being from a soccer background I know all about local, erm “passions”...........
So……………. (pinning my colours to the mast), I have decided to barrack for the Crows in the AFL and Centrals in the SANFL (well the family are from Gawler). So there.
Seems I have cursed the Crows this years, so lets hope the chimney stays red white & blue, eh!
