Aujourd'hui, Footy, au MCG (encore !). Oui, mais là, "c'est pas pareil", c'est le ANZAC DAY. Le match, un classique en danger (visiblement) oppose deux équipes de Melbourne, Essendon contre Collingwood. Le match se joue à guichets fermés, mais avec quelques personnes de l'auberge, on décide quand même de tenter notre chance en y allant, en espérant trouver des places là bas. Et on a eu de la chance, on a trouvé une personne qui vendait quatre places les unes à coté des autres ! On fait donc partie de la foule, plus de 80 000 personnes dans le stade, à vivre ce "moment de culture australienne", avec cérémonie, hymne national, etc.
(C) H.C.
Le match a tenu toutes ses promesses, Essendon arrachant la victoire dans les dernières secondes avec un but à 6 points, gagnant 93 à 88...
Today, Footy, at the MCG (again!). Yes, but today is the ANZAC DAY. The game, that looks to be a classical - in danger - is played by two teams of Melbourne, Essendon and Collingwood. The game is sold out, but even if we don't have tickets, with some other people of the hostel, we decide to "test our luck", hoping we can find some tickets there. And we did !!!! There was one people who was selling for places together ! So we were part of the crowd, more than 80 000 people in the MCG, to experience this "australian moment", with all the ceremony, national anthem, etc. And the game was a close one, Essendon winning in the last few seconds with a six points kick, 93 to 88...
