This post is slightly overdue, but this past weekend was the much anticipated Footy Grand Final, which saw the Geelong Cats take on Collingwood Magpies. After getting some good rest Friday night, Grand Final day started off with placing my first footy bets. With a little help from Andrew, I had $10 on Podsiadly to kick no goals in the game and Kelly to get the most disposals. Once the bets were laid we headed over to Andrew`s friends house to watch the 2:30 kickoff. The party was hoping with everyone dressed in there footy gear and eyes glued to the TV screen.
It was a long hard fought battle by the Magpies, but Geelong took the cake with a 119-81 win.
As for my bets... I had no luck with Kelly, but Podsiadly went down in the 2nd quarter with an injury, which scored me $50!
Despite the game being over the party continued well into the night, with alternating rounds of ping pong and beer pong. Driving home at well after midnight, people were still lining the streets to get into bars and pubs across the city. They do say Grand Final weekend is bigger then NYE here in Melbourne! Overall, couldn`t have asked for a better first Grand Final experience (except maybe if Carlton was playing, but that`s another story).
