The 2012 AFL Grand Final in Australian rules football will take place Saturday in Melbourne as the Hawthorn Hawks battle the Sydney Swans. It's the AFL's version of the Super Bowl.
It's a great time to show some photos of a great Aussie tradition — the recovery session. This is where players from teams cool down with a dip in the ocean after training. It's a shame American sports teams don't do the same. Photo 1 gets my vote for homoerotic shot of the year; the look on the one guy's face is priceless and I wonder what was going on there.
