love AFL footy. Always have. In fact I remember my very first kick of a footy! Do you? You see I so wanted a footy so bad back when the AFL was the VFL and I was just 3 years old! So the big day had finally come. Covered in red shiny paper, I unwrapped my footy and kicked it so hard it smashed into a dozen pieces! And so I bawled my eyes out... Nice one Easter Bunny! I was never to believe anything you did again! Of course after getting egg on my face, I did end up getting my footy. They were made from brown plastic and a great start to many a kid's career, provided you didn't kick it on the pointy end. That hurt! A few years later I remember going to my first game of VFL footy. I've still got the Footy Record as you can see below. Dad, Rowena my sister and I caught the train to the 'G' to see Melbourne play North. You see my sister barracked for Melbourne while my Dad and I barracked for St Kilda. We never got to see the Saints play at Moorabbin. I guess Mum wanted me to stay dry, the train was simpler and of course the 'G' was and still is the home of footy! From aged 10 I was allowed to ride my bike anywhere so I'd ride to Glenferrie Oval, home of the Hawks, which was the closest ground to home in Burwood. So I first got to see Geelong play when I was 11. Years later I was again to shed a tear. Yet this time it was from sheer unadulterated joy and pride as my son Ash ran out onto the 'G' to play footy! And now, I live in Geelong which is without doubt, the most tribal footy town in Australia. I love it! The town, the Cats and how good is it when the two teams I follow sit 1 and 2 on the ladder half way through the season? So watch the video below (all the way through) and witness the real tribal joy only footy can release! |

& Australian Numerals! Imagine an average guy who after failing math, made it his life purpose to help people like you feel like a math genius! Well that guy is me and creating Australian Numerals has been a life long goal. Why? In 1983, I shattered my spine. Unable to move, I made a promise... . If I was able to walk again and have kids, I'd change the way the world teaches kids maths. The promise was simple. Yet keeping it took me more than a quarter of a century! So now you can be one of the first in the world to learn Australian Numerals ...absolutely free! . It won't take years... It might take you around 45 minutes to learn. So have fun and please tell your friends, family members and colleagues about my project. Thank you! What my students say | Early TV news & press reports | About this innovation | Free Downloads |
