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

No bets. I used to enjoy watching it while in Australia many years ago, but have rarely caught it since moving back to Canada. The sport is growing in popularity here in Canada and I should try to catch some live games.

Cool Logan, good to hear is getting some interest in Canada, think doing a speccy(high ball catch!) in the snow and ice would be a frightening thing............

A pack of peeing huskies could melt the ice and snow on the grounds before the game, but really that only works well with Canadian Rules Piddleball.

Geelong Cats

THE Western Bulldogs have won their first premiership in 62 years after somehow lifting to a new level against Sydney in a classic Grand Final.
