4J Australia's Celebration - AFL Grand Final Day

We have decided we would like to teach everyone about one of the biggest days in the Australian Calendar - The Australian Rules Football (AFL) Grand Final. 

Victoria is the homeland of the Australia Football League (AFL) which is a contact sport demanding athleticism, skill and courage. AFL is played locally and professionally with elite athletes looked up to by all the children dreaming of being AFL stars. The AFL season concludes with the AFL Grand Final which is played by the two best teams. It is a huge event played at the iconic MCG, attended by 100,000 people and watched by millions on television. This celebration includes a pre-game parade, Grand Final breakfasts, half-time entertainment and the game itself.
