We live in a wonderful world; despite what goes on elsewhere around the world – there is more good than bad. Let’s not forget those who are less fortunate than us and pray for change.
What Mike wrote is so true..this game is ours: Multicultural, Sport loving Australia.

I was at the game on Friday night and the last quarter was a real test for both players and fans alike. I could not help but express my excitement and relief as the Pies took the lead, with an almighty raw along with the rest of the magpie army. A Hawks supporter standing next to me felt an urge to do the same, right in my face, as Buddy nailed a miracle goal. At that point a measure of combat was expressed as our passion for our respective sides poured out and it was obvious to a mate of mine that things were getting heated. He had the presence of mind to point out that we were both being taken away by our passion and that we might not want to end a great night out, in violence. I tell you what, it worked for me and the Hawks support took the hint as well. I’m not a violent person but at that one extreme moment, we were clearly taken away by it all. So thanks to my mate Grant, as we all enjoyed this spectacular, in a loud and peaceful manner. Thanks to all the mates who consider others in the great times like these and the tough and desperate times. Melbourne is the best city in the world and we can all do our bit to keep it that way. Good on you Harry and Go Pies.

I’ve always been proud of our game and its followers ability to enjoy a pressured contest, opposing fans sitting side by side, vocal between the sirens but jovial after it. You look at other sports around the world where fans of opposing teams are separated by wire and sitting at opposite ends of the stadium. How boring it must be not to have the banter between all the supporters!
I live in Sydney and our supporter group up here meet at a pub for each game. The pub is “home” to several supporter groups, Hawthorn being one of them. On Friday the room was filled with equal amounts of both teams supporters and it was just as vocal there as it was at the game. I don’t know if I’ve ever heard such a loud game in all my years of supporting!
The last quarter was amazing. The lead seesawing and the crowd seesawing with it. The last three minutes had everyone on the edge of their seats, as if anything we said or did could influence the result.
When the siren went we Collingwood supporters were a mixture of elation and relief. The Hawthorn supporter, clearly disappointed, but also proud of a team that came so close to beating the reigning premiers. But most importantly ALL supporters in that room hugged, shook hands and share the experience of having seen a game we knew would go down in the annuls of history as one of the best. The majority of Hawthorn supporters wished our team good luck and some said they’ll be turning up on Saturday to cheer on the very team that had just broken their hearts.
We have a lot to be proud of when it comes to our sport. For a country that is so famous for our sporting fanaticism, we lead the way in regards to crowd behaviour.
