Canadian's Swans win Aussie football final

On 29Sep2012, Canadian Mike Pyke (wearing number 38) became the first North American to win an Australian Football League premiership medallion after his Sydney Swans defeated Hawthorn FC (91 points to 81 points) in front of 99,683 people at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. It was a see-sawing game, with Sydney coming from behind in the last quarter. Pyke played his best game yet.

Thanks, Char. An excellent article. And some overdue recognition in the Canadian media of Mike Pyke's amazing achievement.
