I think I have made it clear on this blog that I am a big Geelong supporter
here,
here, and
here. I was super excited that we had the opportunity to play off in another grand final and even better, all my family were back in the country to watch together. I'm not sure if I mentioned it yet, but my brother and his fiance moved back from Canada and rented a house practically next door to me. So we all went over to their place to watch the game and enjoy a few drinks...

| My Geelong (Cats) themed cupcakes |
 |
| Yum, these were delicious! |
 |
| Me organising the games for the big game, we all got players and won prizes depending on who scored first goals, free kicks, Norm Smith etc |
 |
| The players I drew |
 |
| Blue jelly shots! |
 |
| Me and my brother's girlfriends before the game |
 |
| The jelly shots began after the first quarter to settle our nerves |
 |
| I hid behind the couch because I could barely stand to watch because it was so close, which Connie thought was weird and came over to make fun of me |
 |
| Half time and things were not looking good, so it was time for some STRONG blue cocktails |
 |
| Saying a prayer to the football Gods with our blue cocktails |
 |
| AJ taking a mark at half time |
 |
| Ashton and Connie having a half time kick |

| End of game footy kick where I jarred my finger badly and just about everyone managed to injure themselves |
Things got more and more crazy as the evening wore on, but I passed out pretty early and then woke up at 1.00 am with a kebab in my hand and a lot of pain from my finger (which I thought was broken) and a massive bruise on my back from where I fell between the toilet and bath. It was an awesome day!
The bruise on my back, but I can't turn the photo the right way, my stripey pj pants should be at the bottom of the photo. Apologies for the roll of fat!

My sons James (4) and Ben (6) have decided to become AFL-heads!
ReplyDeleteThey watched the final, and typical of my sons, they are insisted on being opposites.
Ben is sticking to Collingwood, and James is a confirmed Geelong fan!
I am siding with James. Go Cats!
Those cupcakes are the cutest! I was thinking of you with your blue everything and was pretty sure you'd be pretty happy about the result :-) hehe.
