Local Football
A cold ,wet, blustery , saturday morning, in Melbourne.
A small inner city football oval , the Peanut Farm Reserve , Chaucer st , St Kilda . A ground steeped in history , it sits in the shadow of Luna Park , and the beach .
VFL Vintage Saints
Two teams of young men playing AFL Football. The Home side dressed in the famous red, white and black, traditional strip , of St Kilda Saints. Playing are amateur side , St Kilda City ,versus a team dressed in the red , yellow and black, traditional indigenous strip .
Each is playing footy , proudly wearing their team's , football jumpers , jerseys , guerneys .
Thousands of young people , male and female ,all around the country, take to footy ovals on a wet , cold, saturday morning , to play the game they have grown up with.
Clearly, its a game they have also grown to love . Why else would they brave the artic weather conditions, mud slides, and an early rise on a winters saturday morning .? Its all part of the fun .
Supporters too , meet , greet ,cheer , have a yarn and a laugh , all barracking for their team in their football jumpers , jerseys , guernseys .
Maybe they'll witness a future Robert Harvey take a screamer , or maybe not .
Its just good fun at the footy .
