…and when I got home from my run, I got to catch up with the highlights of the AFL Grand Final, back home in Melbourne.
Finally, my team—the Brisbane Lions—won a grand final, the first since their historic three consecutive premierships from 2001 to 2003, just as I was settling in to Melbourne and starting to follow them more seriously.
