Recently during my holiday I went to New Zealand but also Victoria where in Melbourne I went to the MCG for the first time and did the MCG tour along with looking at the MCC and Sports Museum’s.

Some of the highlights would definitely be seeing the original AFL rules created by Wills and his buddies at that meeting in the Hotel back in the 1850′s hidden in a draw at the MCC museum. It was originally closed but due to some lighting technicians fixing some lights they let us in for a look.

In the Sports Museum they have most sports represented but the AFL and the cricket was all that I was interested in and apart from the fact that you cannot take photos due to the flashes ruining the priceless artifacts it was well worth it. I also had great fun in selecting the West Coast Eagles song to be played over and over and look through the hall of fame inductees and their highlights.

Some of the best time I had would be in the interactive sections.

The first one is about James Hird where like the Shane Warne one in the cricket section, its all done by hologram and other cutting edge multimedia technology. I took a short video of the Hird presentation (shown above) and even though he talked about that last quarter against the Eagles where he willed the Bombers for a win, it was great.

The other interactive sections include a news desk where you can create headlines and have them emailed to your personal email.

The best however was the area where you could test your skills both football but also other sports. Below is some videos of me having a go.

This was where you get the ball and handball towards three targets and they where worth three different scores. One, Three and Five. To be honest I sucked at this…

I also sucked at this, the ball came down one of the two chutes and you had too handball it into the hole that had the light lite.

I was good at this one. You have 5 different places to kick the goal acting as AFL stars (Buddy, Brown, Riewoldt etc). Buddy’s from memory is the hardest kick at goal.
