Grant Cohn, the 49ers On SI reporter, has been in Melbourne since last week, literally documenting every single experience since his plane touched down. With the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams not kicking off their 2026 NFL season opener for more than a week, Cohn has had some serious time to dive headfirst into Australian culture, and let me tell you, he’s made the most of it.
Aussie Rules Football Just Gained a New Convert
Before getting into the serious NFL prep, Cohn got a jump start on some other football action: the Australian Football League. He wasted no time jumping into the deep end, providing what he called “much-needed analysis” for us American audiences after watching the Geelong Cats absolutely wallop Carlton 107-74. You know, for all of us who totally get the nuances of “Patrick F***ing Dangerfield.” Hilarious. But seriously, his take on Aussie rules football garnered some local coverage, with Australian outlets loving the sight of this American reporter falling hard for their sport. It just shows you how much there is to experience when you actually immerse yourself.
Eating His Way Through Down Under
Since landing, Cohn has been on an absolute culinary mission. This dude has been crushing Australian burritos, chasing them down with Australian coffee. And get this: he’s also taken on Austrian fish & chips. Yeah, you read that right, Austrian. Plus, he’s been devouring the local classic dish known as Pot and Parma. It sounds like he’s trying everything and anything, and honestly, you gotta respect the commitment to local flavor. It makes you wonder what other hidden gems he’s stumbled upon.
Unfortunately for Cohn, and all his new Australian followers who are clearly more interested in his food reviews, he actually has some real work to do this week. He’s gotta prep for that big San Francisco-Los Angeles matchup. But hey, he’s already picked up a ton of Australian followers and readers, and they’re all hyped to hear about what he experiences next, especially what he’s gonna eat. So keep an eye out for his reports on the upcoming game, but definitely stay tuned for his next meal breakdown, because that’s what everyone is really looking forward to.
