Since this is net.sport.football and NOT net.sport.nfl, this
announcement should be appropriate here:

It's that time of year again, folks!  Time to remember those real
terms used in football, such as "bounce", "mark", "behind", 
"fifteen-meter penalty", and "ball up".

This is where the stars have names such as Bobby Duckworth and
Bruce Doole, and the teams come from places like Footscray and
St. Kilda and have names like the Swans and Magpies.

This is the real man's football, where quarters are a minimum of
25 minutes long and shoulder pads are something that Tina Turner wears.

Yes, this is it -- the Grand Final of the Victoria Football League
of Australia.  This years game promises to be a great one -- a
rematch of last year's final between the defending champion
Essendon Bombers and the challenging Hawthorn Hawks.

The game is Saturday, September 28 at the Melbourne Cricket Grounds.

ESPN is broadcasting the game LIVE this weekend.  On the west coast,
it airs at 9pm on Friday, Sept. 27.  The bounce is at 9:30.

Don't forget the Foster's Lager.  G'dday.
