9月24日（木）現在、2009年Gland Final のPremier(勝者)は、劇団☆Catsか、聖☆おにいさんか、私達にはまだわかっていません。でもこのDengon Netを読んでる皆さんは、もうお分かりですね（笑）。

今年のSaintsはすごいね。予想がはずれた！　Catsは、Gary Ablett Jr. が、30票獲得して、念願のthe Brownlow Medal をとったし、Gland Final は、ベスト２チームで最高の試合になるね！

ちなみにthe Brownlow Medal って何ですか？

いわゆるMVP（最優秀選手）だよ。偉大なAFL選手Charles Brownlow の名前が由来。AFLのRound1からRound22までの各試合で、素晴らしいプレーをした選手、1位から3位までを審判が選び、最高票を獲得したAFL最優秀選手にメダルが贈られるんだ。

昨年のBrownlow受賞者Adam Cooney が、Ablettにメダルを授与するとき、かわいいツルぴかキューピー頭にキスしてましたね～（笑）。微笑ましいわ～！

Ablettは、2年前は4位、去年は惜しくも2位だったから本当に嬉しそうだったね。彼の父親でAFL選手だったGary Ablett は、the Brownlow Medal をもらったことはないし、Grand Finalで勝ったこともない。ついに、Ablett Jr. は父を超えたか～。

お父さんもめっちゃ嬉しそうで良かったですね。

我らの Juddy （Chris Judd） は、惜しくも2位。でも、2004年にthe Brownlow Medalをもらってるからね。

Juddyのパートナー、Rebecca Twigley さんのドレスが毎年楽しみです☆今年はひらひら桃色ドレス。妖精みたいで、めっちゃかわいかったわ～（惚）。

女性達のBrownlow Fashionsも楽しみだね。

今年のWooden spoon（びりケツチーム）は昨年同様、Melbourne （The Demons）でしたね（涙）。

うん。来年のAFLシーズンに向けて今から戦略を練らなきゃ。戦いはもう始まっている!!!

もう？ そんなんやってたら、彼女できませんよ。

どきっ（笑）では皆さん、来年3月のAFLシーズンでお会いしましょう。それまでお元気で～!!!

ell, really, this year was as close to a perfect year as it could've been. The two best teams Geelong and St Kilda played in the grand final, and the best player in the competition Gary Ablett jnr won the Brownlow medal (the M.V.P award for AFL football). After watching the vote count and medal presentation on T.V, one fact stood out that made me laugh. Gary Ablett was the winner with 30 votes. The Melbourne Football Club had a grand total of 31 votes, Richmond, the Kangaroos and Fremantle didn't do much better.
　 If you can't say anything nice, you shouldn't say anything, but questions did emerge. Could anyone support these teams without pulling their hair out? Is there any hope next year for any of these teams? Optimistically, the answer is "maybe". Realistically, the answer is no, but there is a silver lining.... well, sort of.
　 Richmond are likely to make some hard decisions on some of its older players, but hopefully will give Matthew Richardson another season. Don't laugh, he can still run all day, and as long as they play him on the wing and give him free reign to push up and down, he will be something for the Tigers fans to cheer.
　 Melbourne too, have some small reasons to smile. They are Jurrah and Wonaeamirri. If you haven't seen these guys, they are awesome. Unless one or both of these guys are playing, Melbourne footy matches are just absolutely unwatchable, but if one of these guys is on the field you just can't turn away or stop smiling, just fantastic.
　 As for Fremantle, well....actually I can't think of anything good to say about Fremantle, same goes for the Kangaroos.
　 For the rest of us, there is the possibility of flags and finals, and no matter what team you barrack for, everyone can look forward to more "Junior boy" Cyril Rioli!
