First game 2010

A rare chance to visit the home of Australian football is a time of excitement and expectation. We walked from our city hotel to the 'G'. A place that was a short train ride away in my youth is now a four hour plane ride away. For the only the second time in 30 years I am the 'G'.

The ground brings back great memories of watching and enjoying cricket and football. My first test match in 1958/59, the St Kilda premiership in 1966 and the delight of running a couple of laps all flood back.

And so Carlton and Richmond emerge from their rooms to confront each other in round 1 of 2010.
