Go Demons!

So, for the last two Friday nights, we went to the MCG to watch AFL finals matches.  We saw the Melbourne Demons crush the Geelong Cats, and then follow that with a crushing of the Hawthorn Hawks. For those of you who don't know about AFL (and why would you?), it is the Australian rules Football game, which is way more exciting than the NFL (in my opinion).  But, about half the league comes from Melbourne.  So, there is a Melbourne team.....a Western Melbourne team.....and yes a North Melbourne team.  There are also only two stadiums in Melbourne, so multiple teams use the same field as their 'home' stadium.  On Friday, this was neat because both the Hawks and Demons call the MCG their home.  So, who really had the home field advantage?  On top of that, there are routinely fans from opposing teams who are sitting next to each other and are friends with each other.  So, this makes for an interesting dynamic.

Here are some pics from the Demons vs Cats game.  Enjoy!
