A number of years ago when i was still at home, I managed to drag my father into AFL.

Now, he's a Sydney man born and bred, which for everyone outside Victoria or NSW means that he is a diehard rugby league fanatic. The mere mentioning of AFL is like to draw several

of those looks in NSW.

Anyway, i converted him, and even now when i travel up to Sydney to umpire (im an umpire for it) he comes along for the drive, just to watch his son in front of 10k people. At least thats what he says. We both know its really to watch the game, because he cant get enough of it!
