Footy is finally here!!!



G'day mates,
Well the footy season has finally started here in Toronto and it's so bloody fun. We played a practice match against the "Etobicoke Kangaroos" last Saturday, and it was our teams first ever game. We got out brand new uniforms just before the game but there was one slight problem, the shorts weren't ready yet. We ended up finding some old 80's tiny red team Canada shorts so we threw them on. Our geurnseys looked great. We use the Carlton uniform with a big red maple leaf behind it. The Kangaroos are one of the best teams going around in Canada at the moment and they were playing against a team of 15 players whom 7 have never played the game before. We didn't count score but they killed us score wise but we were really happy with our game. We didn't play too well in the first half but in the second half we clicked and really took it up to them in the field. It was just really trippy hearing all these Canadian accents yelling out stuff in the middle of a footy match. For more photos and a game wrap up check out our website at http://www.bluesafc.ca/ and click on the big Carlton sign to enter the site. Yesterday I received my Crows guernsey and a brand new footy in the mail from Mum and Dad so that was wicked. Also yesterday my work offered me a job until I leave Canada in March next year. I think I'm going to have to negotiate a good deal with them if I'm going to stick it in with this crappy job from another 9 months. On the weekend I was given a sofa bed which is great, it's in fairly good nic and makes my room look more like a room. That's about it for now.

Over and out,

Pauly Wauly :)
