Last Saturday the Coodabeens interviewed a guy from the Australian Football League Germany. He described the triumphs and tribulations of the Rheinland Lions, the Berlin Crocodiles, the Munich Kangaroos,the Stuttgart Emus, the Hamburg Dockers and my team, the Frankfurt Redbacks.
We loyal fans simply call them 'the spiders'.
Sebastian first got involved in Aussie Rules as an exchange student at LaTrobe Uni. Ian Cover was fascinated by his story and so was I.
There are no cricket or footy ovals in Germany so matches are played in parks and the teams have to bring their own goalposts.
Since then, I've done a bit of research and, with the assistance of Thorsten Exner and Google Translate, have found that "The first two rounds of the young 2012 season are played. Unfortunately, the Frankfurt Redbacks still enter without a win.
The first home game against Hamburg in the east park Dockers have the Frankfurt Redbacks lost by one goal behind. It was a very exciting game because it's in the fourth quarter stood undecided for a long time and both teams fought hard to have the winning goal. Nevertheless, it was a very good game and just the new players who have played their first season and believes a good performance on the field.
Have their first away game against the Frankfurt Redbacks challenged the Munich Kangaroos. Even against multiple Grand Final winner AFLG could enter the Frankfurt Redbacks no points. Nevertheless, the management team of highly satisfied with the performance of the team from Frankfurt. The spiders have fought very well and showed a solid performance on the field. It says the Frankfurt Redbacks also in this game again welcoming new players into their ranks.
In both games, the performance of the Frankfurt Redbacks very well and raise the anticipation for the next meeting in AFLG.
Weiter so, Jungs! Way to go guys!"
That goes for me too, "Weiter so, Jungs!!"
