Swan Districts Football Club
Today we attended our first Ozzie Rules match & although we lost it was a great game Fans are fanatical & very loud voiced For those that don’t know, placing the ball between the middle posts gives 6 points & between the outer posts gives 1 point (near miss!!) the game is divided into 4 quarters In the first and 3rd break team members are given a pep talk mid field Members of the public are allowed to listen in 3 subs are allowed and can be changed many times during the match Runners are buzzing around the ground (those in yellow tell which player to come off & the blokes in white are water carriers and ALL are allowed on the pitch at any given time Tackles can be bone crunching As in English football players do NOT get sent off BUT can be banned for future games IF they commit fouls. Pity this game is not International as I feel it would easily command great crowds overseas. Entry is fairly cheap at $15 to sit almost anywhere During ALL breaks people and kids are allowed on the pitch ( and they do,kicking their own footballs around !) Go and watch a match IF you get the chance Very entertaining The singing crowd are worth the entry fee alone !!
The State of Excitement begins !!
Ready for action
