Adelaide and Perth also have strong football communities, which is reflected by the presence of two teams in both of these cities despite the fact they are far smaller popula- tion-wise than Melbourne is. There is a certain heated rivalry between these cities and Melbourne, much of which is quite irrational. Personally, Iʼm a Geelong fan. I inherited this from my dad, not be- cause of geography, as is generally the case here in the United States. When you have ten teams to select from within 50 miles of your house, itʼs a bit of a raffle sometimes. Unfortunately, my choice has been depressing – over the last fifteen years, Geelong made the big final [called the Grand Final] four times and lost every single one. Itʼs a little bit like the Atlanta Bravesʼ record. Iʼm sure all of you Atlanta baseball fans can empathize. For those of you who are in the least bit interested in the game, there is a team based in Atlanta called the Atlanta Kookaburras that play sev- eral games a year, as well as a small metropolitan league that might be well worth a look. The standard is nothing too fantastic, but I can see the game taking off in the United States – itʼs fast, skillful, physical and best of all, it only takes about two hours to finish.
