The other game played in Australia besides rugby is Aussie Rules Football (AFL). It is a mix of soccer, football, rugby all in one. They play their games in a round stadium with a large goals in the middle of two smaller ones. Unlike Rugby League, AFL is high scoring and a little more fast paces from what I can tell.
Bond Uni offered a student special where for $30 bucks, you got a game ticket, food and drink vouchers and transportation to and from the game. I had heard how fun the games were and I couldn't beat a great deal like this one. I tried to get some friends to go but it just ended up being my friend Emily whom I met last semester. I did get a chance to meet some Aussies and Frenchie who attended the game as well. Like the Titans game I didn't know much about it so after a little explanation I caught one quickly and really got into it. By the end I was singing the clubs song and cheering for my favorite lion in Brendan Fevola. The Lions pulled off the victory 114-82. At the end of the game we got the chance to run around the field at the Gabba and get my picture taken. It was EPIC!!!
Go Lions!!!!!!!!
