West Coast Eagles 12:13 (85) def. Sydney Swans 12:12 (84)
My beloved West Coast Eagles have won what is being described as one of the most exciting Australian Rules Football Grand Finals of all time. On the day, they won by a solitary point, after apparently dominating for the first half of the game. I say apparently because I have not yet seen the game (because of the Jewish Sabbath). But I look forward to watching a replay.
Those who are not happy about the result include him, him, and him. As we say in Australia (but not in Israel): sucks to be you.
Now I realize the majority of you - who are not Australian - couldn’t care less. But I’m happy about it, and it’s my blog after all.
Update: How’s this for a coincidence? This is a verse from the weekly Torah potion:
“Like an eagle arousing its nest hovering over its young; he spreads his wings, he takes it, he carries it on his wings.” (32:11)
