Live At The G


I have been on tour for the last few weeks, having a bit of a look around Malaysia and I decided to stop of in Melbourne on the way home. Never having been to The Great Southern City/Land/Stand I could not resist a visit to the MCG. There were lots of pigeons, but no Bill Lawry, and a couple of teams called the Hawks and the Power playing something called Aussie Rules. All in all not too bad a game, and a damn fine venue.

One of the things that impressed me most was the half time pitch invasion where around ten mini games of Kids Rules took place on the hallowed turf. There is a rugby test in my home town this weekend and no one has been allowed to step on the pitch for at least 6 months! Maybe, just maybe, involving the whole family, in a real way, from an early age might see a few other sporting codes get 21,000 people turn up to a run of the mill club game.

The truly observant might be able to spot a famous Victorian in the crowd.
