The West Coast Eagles lost

The Perth AFL Footy team, The West Coast Eagles, lost the final game this Saturday. As I mentioned earlier, they had managed to make it to the Aussie equivalant to The Super Bowl. Here in Perth, Saturday afternoon as the game was on, the streets and shops were empty. Afterwards, a sense of resignation seemed to have settled on to the city.

I watched a little of the game on TV. They have nothing to be ashamed of. They put up a good fight, even leading at one point. They did manage to make it to the final game, which is nothing to be ashamed of.

There were no parades or celebrations for the teams' return home. Too bad. They should had given them them some sort of recognition for how well they had done.

Update: I stand corrected. I read in yesterday's newspaper that there as a rally held Subday at the Subiaco Oval. About 5000 fans showed up to give their thanks and appreciation to The Eagles. Good!
