The Australian AFL grand final has just been played (Australian Rules Football, similar to Gaelic football). This variety of football is almost a religion in Victoria, and over 100,000 go to see the final.
This year, it was won by Geelong (near Melbourne) for the first time in over 60 years. Also this year, Geelong celebrated its 150th anniversary.
Geelong Football club claims to be the oldest continually operating football club of any code in the world (the oldest UK soccer teams daste back to the 1870's, as do the current American Gridiron teams).
Anyway, that's what Geelong claims.
I'm not a great fan myself.

I am not going to look it up, but it goes back to the days of the Romans in the Coliseum. They would use a severed head as the football.

Who did they play against? Seriously, until you've actually played a game against some other team, surely you are just a bunch of blokes having a kick about. And so it would follow that, if you DID play another team, it would be a bit rich to start proclaiming that you were the first
