AFL 2012 Grand Final, and Grand Final 2009 in Broken Hill

Yesterday was that “one day in September” and okay, so it wasn’t Hawthorn’s day ;-(  That’s annoying.  Anyway, congratulations Sydney Swans on winning the 2012 AFL Grand Final yesterday.  The final score was Sydney 14.7.91 defeated Hawthorn 11.15.81.

It’s all over for another year.



I’m pictured here at the Living Desert Sculpture Park on a trip this time three years ago when I was visiting briefly with some friends who’d not been to Broken Hill before.  We watched some of the game at the Demo Club (Barrier Social Democratic Club) after arriving from Mildura at about 1.30pm on Grand Final Day 2009.  Hawthorn (my team obviously) wasn’t a contender that time, that was the year Geelong defeated St Kilda.  Hawthorn’s last win was in 2008 when they defeated Geelong.

My friends stayed less than 24 hours, they were on a very tight schedule.  They really enjoyed themselves.  We went to the Muso Club (Broken Hill Musician's Club) that night and one of my friends is a guitarist and the band playing that night Monkey Box let him play a couple of numbers with them which was a buzz for him, and of course made our stay more memorable!

Cheers, Jane D
