Carlton v Richmond

The first game of the season and we are in Canberra on a camping trip.

"Look! There's a pub!" I shouted; eagle-eyed as ever. "It might be showing the Carlton - Richmond game".

And it was. But Big Red's parents don't sit in pubs and drink beer. They made an exception for 45 minutes, sitting and drinking nothing while we watched the game and drank beer. Carlton were leading when we left for dinner and it wasn't until the next day that we learned they had won.

Hurrah!
