    This is my third year watching Australian Rules Football, aka #footy. Watching that game for any length of time makes the soccer MH talks about unwatchable.

    In footy, you see guys jump over each other to make catches then hitting the ground super hard. At any point when they have the ball, they might get tackled and thrown to the ground. These guys take enormous physical abuse for 80 minutes and then get up and smile at the opponent while bumping them.

    Watching the "ow, he touched me" theater in soccer and the frankly boring ball movement is really just ridiculous. I'd way rather watch some guys run down the field passing handballs back and forth like they are in a professional keep-away league (which they kind of are) than see any soccer ever.

    Go #Dockers! Go #Magpies!

    I think this post goal celebration was an atypically sweet moment.

    Go #Freo!
