Around 4-5 year's ago, every Sunday was the same. And I loved it. I'd wake up, and wait until 11am when I would flick on channel 7 for the start of AFL Game Day. We didn't have foxtel and kayo wasn't a thing yet so I only got to watch…

I am currently watching an AAMI community match between Melbourne and Carlton on the couch. Carlton has had a fantastic first quarter and are starting their second well.

I received an Essendon membership for Christmas, but this year was special, because this season is the Bombers' 150th year in the competition. It means the things that came in the members pack were really cool. I received a box that had the new logo on the outside.

Image: FoxSports Essendon and the Western Bulldogs kicked off the men's season with the Bombers sneaking home by 6 points at the Hangar this afternoon. I personally watched the game live on Kayo as it was the first year they streamed it and I was very excited to see my team play…

Here's why... The AFL was made by Australians, FOR Australians. I could end it here, but let me go a bit further into it. I would put money on it that you have heard of soccer. Even for the 3 people on earth that haven't, you can see the simple objective and…
