Hi y'all sport enthusiasts!
The name of the game last weekend was Australian rules football! For the sake of Johannes' birthday we headed to the Gabba stadium to see our first live match!
Footy is played on the cricket field and you are allowed to either kick the ball or to hit it with your fist. The ball is oval and bounces completely irrationally making the game absurdly hilarious. The players are really fast and the ball can change possession 10 times in 10 seconds. We love it!

| The happy crowd! Attendance was 17 000! |
 |
| Welcome! |
 |
| Lion face masks! |
 |
| Hugging our mascot! |
 |
| Brisbane's team came from the lion's mouth. |
 |
| And ran through a flag. |
 |
| Warm up with kids! |
 |
| Excited! |
 |
| The umpire started the game fiercely! |
 |
| Ball bounced really high! |
 |
| A pile! |
 |
| Our Lions scored! |
The atmosphere at the game was very chilled and happy. There was no bashing or hooliganism. There were babies, kids, elderly people and adults. When ever Lions scored, the gentlemen below made the crowd shout the name of the scorer and that he's alright!
 |
| "Dayne Zorko, he's alright! Yay!" |
 |
| It was dark and cold (15 C). People had beanies and quilted jackets. |
 |
| Footy is the funniest game on Earth! A lot of hustle! |
 |
| The umpire launches the ball to the sky. |
 |
| Sydney Swans won after a tight battle. |
 |
| It was fun! |
