Footy's Back

Football started again on the weekend. The local WAFL competition started the weekend before but the team I follow, Swan Districts, had a bye so they started their season on Saturday. They started the season with a good win.

The West Coast Eagles, the best team in the AFL won their first game of the season.

My second favourite AFL team, the Fremantle Dockers, also won their first game of the season.

I don’t spend the whole season in front of a TV or at the games but I thought I should make a fuss seeing my 3 favourite teams won their first games.

I don’t follow soccer but I should mention that our local team, Perth Glory, won on the weekend to go into their Grand Final.

  • Rodney – sorry to hear about your AFL football collusions. Good luck to ’em! At the risk of sounding one-eyed, “real” footy is played over here in Victoria by the Collingwood Magpies…

  • Would that be the Collingwood Magpies that got trounced by the Eagles in the pre-season? 🙂

    Of course you will notice that Swan Districts carry the familiar black and white colours that you’d be so used to Thomas. That made them my preferred VFL team before the introduction of Western Australian clubs.
