im thankful ...

... that its still football season.

and im in no way referring to the 'off season' with the upcoming draft or free agency acquisitions in th nfl, i am talking about the other passion of mine behind the redskins, none other than the sydney swans.

the swans are the local aussie rules football (afl) football team that has won my heart over ever since their breathtaking 1 point loss in the 2006 grand final.

the 'swannies' as i have affectionately dubbed them have started a strong 3-1 this season, domintating the much hated west coast eagles last night, but its not goal kicking highlights, amazing footwork, or meter high jumps that i want to steer you towards. rather i want to show you a video from last nights game that really shows you the 'grit', the 'true blue aussie', and the sheer 'badassness' of aussie rules football.



ladies and gentlemen: i give you mr barry hall (henschke, hamilton, and jb this is for you guys)
