footy fever

This may not mean much to those of you who haven't experienced Melbourne's love affair with Australian Rules, but I realised on Friday that I had no idea who was playing in the Grand Final this weekend. Quite an achievement in a city (and a department) full of footy fans. One of my fellow postgrads is even doing his PhD on football fan-dom as religious devotion. I remained blissfully unaware of the details until this morning. Swans beat Eagles by 4 points, apparently.
