It's a month

I wrote this script a few years ago. The video was produced by Shaun Vance of the AFL and narrated by the late great Jack Charles. I love watching it on the first night of finals.

It’s a month

A month when the mowers rattle on suburban nature strips and we smell the cut grass

A month when the warmth re-enters the earth

A month when we gather

 in anticipation

in celebration

in despair

A month of walking in the steps of our ancestors

Colours flying

Tribal colours

Colours of hope, of belonging

a common language

The inescapable colours of spring
