GRAND FINAL for AFL!
We all patriotically joined in the singing of the National Anthem at the opening of the game:
First quarter excitement...
...everyone went crazy with excited energy!
First Quarter: Geelong 33 - Hawks 32
Second Quarter: Hawthorn 51 - Geelong 48At Half time we all spontaneously enjoyed a game of "Marks Up" (a footy game) in the front yard. Some die-hard basketball fans (cough-cough-Jack and Dan - cough-cough) shot some hoops, with Dan nearly busting our plastic ring with his slam dunk! But before we even started Marks Up, some silly muppet kicked the football into the tree!!
[The little yellow bit amongst the branches is the football!!]
[Dan Dan the basketball Man]
[The "Holy Grail" of patriotic Australia - football]
[Alisha ducking for cover as Luke makes a beautiful kick!]
When 3rd Quarter started, we all dropped everything and ran back inside! It was a close game! All that were in the room were barracking for the mighty Hawks.... except for Dad and Kieran. (Mum 'supported' the Cats only because, "i'm being a supportive wife", because dad was going for Geelong! Haha!!)
There was alot of screaming and general noise. Most of the screaming occurred when Hawks kicked a goal. A memorable scream came from the most amazing goal of the game, kicked by "Number 7" (as Leia and I kept shouting), who we now know to be Michael Osbourne.
Third Quarter: Hawthorn 89 - Geelong 72
Buddy Franklin remained the player the girls drooled over. He's a very good-looking chap, i must say ;)
Full-time: Hawks 115 defeat Cats 89 accompanied by a massive 3minute long roar from Hawks fans all over Australia - and our place was no exception!
Our Heroes of the Day:
Hawthorn :
S Gilham, T Croad, B Guerra, R Ladson, L Hodge, G Birchall, J Lewis, S Mitchell , C Bateman, C Rioli, L Franklin, M Osbourne, M Williams, J Roughead, C Brown, T Campbell, B Sewell, S Crawford.

Hawthorn's first grand final title since 1991 (i think thats right).
Congrats.
A mighty win for the Hawks!!

Call me Jess, I'm a human being, and this blog is a mixture of a) updating the gossip grapevine and b) personal therapeutic word-vomit and such. Have a wander, expect the unexpected, leave a comment and then go right on doing whatever it is that you do each day. Keep it simple, keep it real ;) Love Jess.
