Its that time year to forget politics, business and differences in Religion. The football season has started, kicked off if you will.
Now of course, I am not talking that round ball game that so preoccupies the normally astute and observant Jakartass
. No I am talking the game played by the "chosen few"...
Yep..Thats right we are talking Australian Rules Football, no helmets, no round ball and no "Nil all" drawn games.
For those lucky enough to have "IndoVison" pay tv, there were no less than six games played over the weekend.
And what a great weekend it was as well, with those champions of champions The Shinboners sending that pack of wharf rats Port Power packing
Indonesia also has a small but vibrant (as in all good things) Australian Rules Football Community. Check out the(now how did they arrive at that name?) Jakarta Bintangs .
Next post will deliver a brief run down on the rules, so those sadly neglected types can understand a bit of the chosen game (except if you barrack for Port Adelaide because those wharf rates have never played by the rules anyway). Also a introduction to Bali 9's competition
LET THE GAMES BEGIN...................

oh and some other guys playing the round ball thingy in some far off place
you lost me oigal
Lost you?
why?
So you're not talking that round ball game that so preoccupies the normally astute and observant Jakartass?
If it wasn't for that normally, which is damning with faint praise if ever I read it, I'd probably describe Aussie Rules as being a MAN's game, unlike that sissy version played Stateside.
You know, the one which is radio-controlled from the touchline, with hunks so wrapped up in protective polystyrene that they're too knackered to play for more than ten seconds at a stretch so they keep stopping for a huddle and TV advert.
Yeah, I'd probably say that, but can't be bothered.
Laugh,
Hey Jakartass, don't take the "normally" to heart, I was threatened by your passion for the roundball game...
I mean how are we ever going to get the Indonesian version of our game up with the passion that follows the round ball.
Quick answer Oigal.
You won't. Ever.
Ah ah ..you have missed my lastest post ..the kangas moving north..slowly slowly..laugh
