Hi Arpe,
:lol: yeah Brownie ( Jonathon Brown No 16) had a shocker off the boot, he ended up with 2 goals 2 behinds, but missed everything on another 3 or 4 occasions...that was one of them!!
Take your point on the scoring, but it also holds out that you can 6 or 8 goals down, but still in the game. A lot of teams have come from that far back to over run the oppostion and pinch a victory. On the other hand if they go ultra defensive 8 goals can win a game. Thats the beauty of it.

Thats also why I can not get into soccer, if they were to make the net a metre wider and half a metre higher and end up with 8 - 7 results the game would be interesting, as it is I just can not get into it. ( I've tried, believe me!!). I know the soccer purists will howl me down, but, hey, each to her/his own.

Thommo: don't talk about rotten, lousy, !!@@#$#!! tipping competitions :mad:

Hi Falcon,
Don't worry, the Demons will get going again, injuries are a curse in a close competition like this one. Don't forget its only round 7.

To answer your questions: The Gabba website says that you can take a camera in and photograph as long as it is for personal (not professional/commercial) use. When I first took it out of the bag I expected to be pounced on by some zealous official, but no-one came near me all day.

The pano was hand held and taken from my seat, which is high in the Sthn Stand.
Thanks for looking.
Cheers
Grant

A few more action shots from high in the stand.
The game is very fast, and I wont bother explaining the rules, suffice to say most people who see it live...fall in love with the game.
Hope you enjoy.
Cheers

Hi folks,
I have had a most enjoyable day out at the footy, watching my beloved Brisbane 'Lions' doing battle with the Fremantle 'Dockers' at the fabulous "Gabba" ground. These two teams are based on the opposite sides of Australia.

Here is a little pictorial essay of the day.
First the oval, this a four shot pano.
Followed by the Fremantle team entering the arena, and then my mighty Lions.
Then we toss the coin to decide who kicks to which end.
And then the big men fly/
