Grandstand of the Junction oval at the 2006 community cup
Beer, music, dogs and kids everywhere, exuberant and wildly inacurate football, inaudible sirens, highly suspect umpiring, variable-length quarters — everything the community cup is meant to be. Jo and I even managed to get on the wrong tram on the way there and take a scenic tour down through Caulfield and St Kilda instead of heading straight along Dandenong road.
