      We should tell them to pronounce it - Ozzie or Ozzee. I guess the ‘ss’ throws them off, only natural, they are saying it the way it’s spelt with ss. It’s us Aussies that change the sound of ss to zz.

      @M of course there are more slow, weak, small, sftck people in the world, it makes sense they play soccer. They get to wander up and down a tiny pitch, taking turns to faint. That's it, that's all they do, no-one ever gets excited. Australia is probably the only place on Earth that CAN play Australian Rules Football!
      The game goes for 2 hours, the players run 10 to 12 miles, a fair % of that is sprinting. getting smashed while they're doing it. They must be ambidextrous, able to leap small buildings and run the 100 in less than 11 seconds. And tough. Tough enough to demolish buildings with their bare hands. Small players are 6 foot, but those over 7 foot find it difficult to run far and fast.
      Quite simply, AFL players are the greatest athletes on the planet.
      Watch; "What Is AFL Aussie Rules Explained", followed by "AFL Biggest Hits". Then watch the 2005, 2006, 2018 AFL Grand Finals played in front of 100,000 spectators.
      You might not emerge from that rabbit hole.
      Soccer looks quite pale and anaemic after this.
      BTW, Australian Rules Football is the oldest codified and REGISTERED game of football in the world, 1859, the FIRST and ORIGINAL game of football.
      Rugby and Soccer/Faintball came much later.
      Elements of Australian Rules Football were appropriated by other sports.

    Absolutely love how other countries, especially America, are trying Aussie rules and growing the game in those countries. Good luck to all USAFL clubs, especially newbies Hawaii Eagles and Richmond Lions, for the 2019 season! Wouldn't mind seeing a new team in New Jersey, Birmingham AL, Jackson MS, South Carolina, Pittsburgh PA, Salt Lake City UT or possibly even Alaska.
    Those that don’t know what this sport is, it’s called Australian rules football, also known as ‘footy’ and is Australian football. The best sport on the planet and the only professional sport invented in Australia and the AFL or Australian Football League being the premier competition. I definitely recommend that you go to a game, you will have your mind blown. AFL players have a very remarkable amount of skill and the fans flock to games in tens of thousands with the Grand Final in late September every year gets a crowd of at least 100,000

A very popular player in the team is Mason Cox from Texas, who had only played basketball before he came to Australia to try out. The link below shows Cox in action. His parents are shown in the stands and the Collinwood crowd was chanting USA USA USA...

    The 'pies are again in the play offs (called finals here) on Saturday. It's a winter sport here and the season ends in the southern spring.
    I think the main reason holding the game back in other countries is the lack of large oval playing fields. Such fields were established for cricket before footy became a sport in the mid 19th century. The footage above shows a game being played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, simply known as 'the G' which can hold 100,000 spectators.

      The worst part is when your trying to get a really good mark, but the ball busts your finger. It hurts. I kept playing when that happened and it was excruciating. What's worst was someone stepped on it. It was broken..

The Women's league has taken Australia by storm and now has women from other countries nominating for the AFLW draft and are making an amazing impact. Check out "AFLW Highlights: GF v Brisbane" on RUclips, this is 2021 GRAND FINAL in which the Brisbane Lions won 🥰
