Went to the footy match on Saturday, the Sydney Swans vs. St. Kilda something-or-others (St. Kilda is a Melbourne suburb). The game was held at the Sydney Cricket Oval. Footy is okay, but mostly you spend time trying to see where the ball is because there are literally fifty people on/nearly on the field at a time.
Do the math:
Players, 2 teams x 18 =36
Linesmen and referees =7
Waterboys =6 (at least)
Directions kids =2 (at least)
Total 51
Yeah, a bit much wouldn't you say? The directions kids probably have real names, but as far as I can tell their sole job is to wear fluoro, run on the field, whisper in a player's ear and run off again.
