Elmo says "Go the Lions!"

Hi Everyone!

Big Elmo greetings to everyone from a cold and wet Brisbane!

Tonight was Elmo's first ever AFL game. Elmo went to the 'Gabba' with Lauren, Margie, Ben, Dan, Lindsay, Steve and Rhonda to see the Brisbane Lions play Collingwood (the Magpies) It was a really mixed crowd with only Margie and Lindsay going for the Lions and everyone else going for the Pies.  Elmo had no idea there would be 38 000 people at the game. Because it was Elmo and Lindsay's first time at a game Elmo took Lindsay to the 'first timers tent' to get their photos with Jonathon Brown and Daniel Rich.

Margie and Elmo near the end of the game. It was such a close game and Margie was so excited to have Brisbane win.

Margie and Elmo with the game in the back ground. It was 3/4 time and the Vossy (the Lions coach) is telling the boys what to do. The Pies coach Mick Malthouse would have been giving  his boys a pep talk too!

Elmo loves the football! Elmo thinks it is so much fun and the crowd of people really cheer loudly. Elmo has a sore throat from yelling "Go Lions"

Elmo got to learn a new song tonight too.. it goes like this......

We are the pride of Brisbane town

We wear maroon, blue and gold

We will always fight for victory

Like Fitzroy and Bears of old

All for one and one for all

We will answer to the call

Go Lions, Brisbane Lions

We’ll kick the winning score

You’ll hear our mighty roar

(if you want to hear the song go to here and you can hear it).

Well Elmo had a fantastic night but its very late and Elmo needs some sleep. Lauren has told Elmo that there are a few things on this week that Elmo needs to rest up for.. like trivia night at the Glenn, and Lauren has booked Elmo in for a massage with Bek!

Night Night everyone!!

Love Elmo
