So when we were invited to a AFL Footy Final Party in the village we decided to go and support Sonya and Bernie's team, The Richmond Tigers. We were encouraged to dress in our teams colours. The Tigers played The Geelong Cats. We watched it on the big screen in our community centre and our CEO, Chiou See and her partner, Brendon provided us with meat pies and chips which is the traditional food at a football match.
It was an exciting and very close game but The Tigers won in the end. After the match Bill won a prize for being the best dressed Tiger supporter. Last year Sonya had sent him a Tiger T-shirt and I made him a Tiger cap.
Chiou See (CEO) and Brendan hosts of the party.

Some shots from the sports news
Richmond Tigers are the winners!
So that doesn't look like US football nor does it look like soccer. Is it rugby?
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Bill and congratulations to the Tigers. It looks like everybody was having a blast and I love all the pictures that you got from the news. A little different than our football
ReplyDeleteBill looks quite happy with the win and the prize! His hat is great. Your community has the best parties.
ReplyDeleteBig games are much more fun watched in the company of friends. You can get really excited!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like everyone had a good time. I like the tiger cap. Have a good week.
ReplyDeleteThat cap is a winner. I expect you will be life long supporters of the tigers now.
ReplyDeleteFun regardless and Bill honestly has the best smile and I bet his laugh is contagious!
ReplyDeleteSo this is about sport a subject I know nothing about
ReplyDeleteUnfortunate for the sports mad Melbournians but great for Qld.
ReplyDeleteI can't recall but was there a limitation on numbers at "The Gabba" ?
I still call the game "aerial ping-pong" ...........it was bred into my genes.
I'm still a Rugby Union person.
Looks like you all had heaps of fun in your village.
Cheers
Colin
Love Bill's hat, that makes him a very deserved winner. You guys made more effort than my niece and her husband who attended the game!
ReplyDeleteExcitement in the camp then it seems, happy faces and love Bills hat.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Bill and the the Tigers team. Looks like a fun evening.
Take care, enjoy your day! Wishing you a happy new week!
You had a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteLooks like another fun event, Diane, and I'm sure that BiIll will make good use of his prize!
ReplyDeleteIt looks as if you had a great time at the finals party. Bill definitely looks like a winner in his outfit,
ReplyDeleteYou do such amazing and fun things in your town. I love the enthusiasm and congrats on winning.
ReplyDeleteSue
It certainly looks like a fun event :)
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
I thought you were talking about football (soccer) I didn't know that you use the American word. I thought America was the only country which doesn't play "football" with the feet, lol !
ReplyDeleteBill's costume is really nice ! No wonder that he won !
What a great night you had, and I like the hat too. I watched the game and enjoyed it although I'm a Port Power follower. I am always amazed at the power and fitness of the players, but I'm a weakling these days, and only ever played netball as a teenager. PS I have reverted back to my new(old) blog and hope I can regain some new enthusiasm.
ReplyDeleteStrange to see you with others and no masks!!! We are back in full lockdown and cannot leave the house without signed, dated and timed forms. I want to go on holiday but it will not happen this year now. We had planned a month in Italy in June but that vanished out the window.
ReplyDeleteStay safe and keep well, t'other Diane
Well done the Tigers! Your CEO looks so much fun Diane, she certainly looks after you all well, so many special treats 💜
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the Richmond Tigers and congrats to Bill for winning his price. Super cute hats too Diane :) Another great evening!
ReplyDeleteFabulous blog
ReplyDeleteI have never followed sport so would have given this night a miss. My sister is a big fan of sport and attended the games once she got back to Brisbane (until the Brisbane team missed out on being in the final).
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the Tigers! It;'s always fun to watch a sport comeptition with others and root for the home team--it looks like you all had a fun time!
