September in Australia means one thing. Footy finals. This year has been a great year for my AFL team the Sydney Swans, who have befuddled all the commentators with a brilliant season, finishing fourth in the regular season. And even more remarkably pulling off one of the upsets of the year in beating the minor premiers, Port Adelaide, with an injury list including key players, Jason Ball, Michael O'Loughlin and Jason Saddington, to move directly to the Prelminary Final where they play the winner of the Brisbane - Adelaide match.
And lets not forget the League ... my team, the Canberra Raiders, have also made the eight. On Friday night, they host Melbourne. It should be a close game..
So the next four weekends will be filled with great stories, surprises, and possibly two new champions. Oh boy, I love September.
