UQMSA’s “Jom Watch AFL”

And so the dreaded mid-semester period came, with its load of tear-inducing stress, assignments that just won’t write themselves up, and exams that reduce students to hair-pulling and overeating. And of course, UQMSA came to the rescue (as always la) with our ready shot of fun! :P

 

Over 30 of us headed in one big, noisy rombongan to the Gabba to experience football as the Aussies know it J It was the Brisbane Lions VS North Melbourne. Before this, the Lions were win-less in the new season with 7-straight losses. And then came our Malaysian gang. The rest, as they say, is history, as evidenced by the in-depth statistical analysis below :

 

 

The Brisbane Singa started the game in nervous fashion in a match that was really tight, but they eventually managed to outscore their opponents from Melbourne during the 4^th quarter. Truly a night to remember for every one of us as we cheered like crazy for every pass, tackle and goal.  

 

Special thanks to Michael and Simon for being our guides J

 

Warmest Regards

UQMSA Committee

 

 

 

 

Faces coasted with warpaint and ready to rock the Gabba!

 

The Lions’ Ultra-Secret weapon for the night : the UQMSA gang!
