Ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes at the MCG on Grand Final day? Or what it took for Tiger Bachar Houli to become a premiership champion?
Australian football is such a part of the culture of Melbourne and in winter, all roads lead to the MCG.
But footy is more than just the AFL. It’s also the grassroots, the volunteers, the passion of the fans and the stories of triumph and disappointment. And you will find them all at the Australian Sports Museum.
