Australian rules football, officially known as Australian football, also called football, footy, or Aussie rules, is a sport played between two teams of eighteen players on the field of either an Australian football ground, a modified cricket field, or a similarly sized sports venue. The main way to score points is by kicking the ball between the two tall goal posts. The team with the higher total score at the end of the match wins unless a draw is declared.

 Different countries are however gaining interest in the sport and teams can be found in East Timor, The United States of America, Japan and New Zealand!

 Were in the final of the bog league here now the AFL. My team Essendon didn't do so well, came last - wooden spoon - some problem with sports enhancing drugs apparently caused problems last year with half the team given a "holiday" this year............
The rules are a well keep secret kept hidden in a wallaby skin deep in a vault in Coober Pedy
