Tonight after work, Katie, Cath and I went to the footy, particularly so that Katie could see a game. Something organised quite quickly as the reality that there weren't many games left in the season set in.

It was Katie's first game. Not suprising, having only been in the country for the last 6 months. However, it was also my first game - having been in the country for the last 30 years! [wink]

Despite my expression of proudness last Friday about never having been to a game, it was pretty exciting, especially with Katie seeing the game. I doubt I would have to succumed to going to a match otherwise.

After the debarkle of Cath loosing her wallet, we filed into the MCG, realising fairly quickly the seats were really good. And then that realisation changing somewhat as it started to rain. [wink]

We had gotten there earlish, given the going straight from work, but it wasn't too long before the game started - Collingwood vs. Melbourne. All in all, it was a quite enjoyable experience, and a lot different to what I expected I guess.

Katie certainly enjoyed it, thinking it was most interesting sporting event she's been to, even if the non game entertainment didn't live up to her US expectations. [wink] Not to say that she didn't enjoy the half time Aussie Kick deal.

Aside from the coolness of the experience, Melbourne, who were down by about 45 points made a comeback in the last half, making it a really good game. Not by enough to win, which was fine because we were rooting for Collingwood. Final score was 81 to 70.

While nothing has changed in terms of the fact that I don't have to rush out to another game, and certainly not without Katie, it was actual a good experience and really worthwhile.
