So what was the surprise last night? A trip to the Port Adelaide vs. Brisbane Lions match at AAMI stadium =) Although, it wasn't a complete surprise for Neish because I had inadvertently said the word "football" on Friday night and thus ruined the surprise. But, that doesn't matter, we had a FANTASTIC night of football thanks to the mighty lions and their efforts in the fourth quarter. At first it seemed like the match was a forgone conclusion and there was nothing for the tiny brigade of lions fans to cheer about at all. Then it rained as if to add insult to injury and while we went out of the stadium for a minute to be undercover the lions scored 2 or 3 goals which was a nice change! Then, to our surprise, and everybody else's, the lions continued to score and managed to even the scores and then overtake port quite quickly! We went out in sadness (see picture) but came back with plenty to cheer about (see picture). =) Being new to AFL, I learnt much about passionate Power supporters and how to make friends at church even when you don't support their team but just because your team beat their arch enemies. (YES, I wore my lions scarf to church to see what would happen)
