The Day Hath Ariiveth

Well, Grand Final Day 2008 was greeted by a beautiful Melbourne spring morning ewith the promise of temperatures reaching 28 degrees.  Could not ask for better day to watch the game.

The Balls made their way to the haunt of communist lesbians, Red Lemon, on Swan St for a delicious breakfast to settle the nerves.  Corn fritters were delicious, no magnificent.  Eggs hollandaise were tremendous.  Chorizzo on the side - the right kind of spicy.

A quick visit to one of our fans houses in Richmond to receive adulation, respect and a hand trolley before making the trek to The G.

There's a gentle buzz around at the moment as people wander into the ground.  Even a few blokes on a motor scooter were discussing the game as they drove along at 40 k, hugging each other like cowboys on a cold, cold winters night.

First quick observation - Hawthorn fans are dressed in a much more artistic manner.  Ginger fans seem to be split evenyl across the teams.  And there's many, many more Hawthorn fans.

Early tip from Mix Master D, The Balls resident Hawk fan - Hawthorn by 26 points, Brad Sewell the Norm Smith Medal and Shane Crawford to kick the final goal of the day.  And of course, Mix Master D to not be wearing pants as Crawford celebrates.

MC Gregor says - Daniel Rich, Draft Pick number 2, West Coast Eagles.

Balls out

Actually - there's a Nandos' mascot hautning small children.  Is it just a bit weird that a place that serves dead chicken has a chicken as their mascot?  Or is that just me.

You're right. It's like a Hot Dog store being represented by a chicken's beak, a few cat's tails, a dogs colon and 7 pieces of ox eye muscle
