All the different aspects of a culture collide and interconnect. Melbourne is the undisputed capital of Australian rules football (which is the most cherished and energised of this country’s football codes) and it is also the home of the Australian Ballet. Last Saturday we saw the preliminary festivities of the AFL Grand Final kicked off by Delta Goodrem and Robbie Williams and when Geelong achieved their crushing victory over the Sydney Swans it was the old-timer Isaac Smith who at 31 came away with the Norm Smith medal for best on the ground.
