Been to an AFL game.

Fans buy memberships and go to every game even interstate ones. They're the people I keep away from only because they're still talking about the game on Wednesday.

Going to the MCG to watch a footy game is one of the most unique sounds to Melbourne. The roar of the crowd is indescribable.

I've been to a few "fuck the man" union strike events there, no footy but.

Ditto! Nor any of the other codes unless you count school games. Proud of my Anti Football League pin.

Isn't that a rite of passage for Melburnians? I think I went to one my 3rd week in Australia 😁

I was born here so I never had to pass the tests.

First time I've heard that term, and yes.
