UniSA International
A group of UniSA AusAID students gets a taste of Aussie Rules.
Experiencing an AFL game is a great introduction to Autralian sports' culture.
The Port Adelaide Football Club generously donated tickets to UniSA’s
international AusAID-sponsored students to see Port Power play Carlton at AAMI
Stadium.
Yanti Sihotang, who recently arrived from Indonesia, summed up the students’
experience and gratitude.
'I enjoyed the game so much!' Yanti said. 'It was difficult to follow the ball
because it was so small and all the players were running so quickly.
Fortunately, I sat close to a man who I thought was a real Port Adelaide
supporter. He yelled POWER! three times every time Port Adelaide succeeded to
strike a goal.
‘In front of me, there were groups with Port Adelaide flags who would fly the
flags with every goal made. It was really an exciting experience to watch. But
the excitement did not stop when the game was over. On the bus on the way home,
all the people on the bus were still talking about it. It was real footy mania!
'I'm so lucky because I have finally watched an Aussie football game completely
with an enthusiastic environment and live! Thankyou for giving me this wonderful
and unforgettable moment while I'm studying in Adelaide.'
