I'm a big fan of this "gather round" idea for the #afl. A real sense of community, of place, of the game being about their local clubs. Seeing the country after the years of border closures.

Look at this beautiful Norwood Oval game tonight. Similar vibe to test cricket in NZ on grass banks. Lovely stuff

That's was an epic #SydneySwans v #PortAdelaide game. What is it about this sport that makes the finishes so contested. Aliir Aliir like an eagle flying in to end the Swans. Amazing footy drama

First games of #afl #auskick #footy this morning, a practice match - and the boys are doing oh so well and smiles on dials - both teams.

That’s what it’s all about!!

Beautiful day, around 20 degrees C.

Also a nice row of #gumtrees, aligning the tennis courts, enclosed driving range and softball pitch.

t-shirt weather. 👕
