- Today after a lot of requests, I’m discovering AFL, Australian Football League.
I had no clue it is that kind of sport, and tbh I'm still perplexed at that rule « you can use your opponent to catch the ball » x)

#FrenchTastic #Reaction #AFL
I've been an American fan of Australian Football for nearly 20 years. Fast paced and always moving.
Respect 😁👍❤️🇦🇺
do u watch USAFL?
@@PatisauR I haven't seen it recently, but I used to go see the Dallas Magpies (now the Dingoes) when I lived there.
@J G for me, it's not a competition. I enjoy all the football codes and take every opportunity to go see them.
@J G Australian soccer fans have been saying similar claims for 40 years but the AFL getting stronger with more fans every year.
I have been watching the AFL for nearly 40 years, off and on. It is so awesome, fast paced, and just always going! The AFL makes our NFL look slow and boring. The 2021 Grand Final was incredible! Enjoyed your reaction of it! Go enjoy the games, when they start the next season. Go Footy!!! Have an awesome day!!
U.S football is kool in the movies, but the actual game is boring as hell for me. Especially the NFL with all the ad breaks and interruptions, stoppages just so unwatchable.
AFL is played during the Australian winter, the grand final is played in late September, usually at the MCG in Melbourne. There's a players parade, and a grand final breakfast, awards for best players, and all sorts of other end of season events in the preceding week. As far as fans are concerned, AFL is not a matter of life and death, it's more important than that.
You can't push a player in the back, or hit them in the head. You also can't grab, or hold onto, a player's clothing. You saw a few examples of the "hip and shoulder charge" a very effective way of knocking an opponent out of the way. It is a contact sport, but the lack of any protective gear means most players don't actually try to hurt each other deliberately.
Actually it starts in autumn and runs through to spring just like the NRL
French Tastic thank you for your reaction to AFL. This was the first time I ever seen something like this before and thought I knew all sports out there.
It's a very old sport some of the teams are over 160 years old and still going today
The AFL grand final is usually played on Saturday afternoon; either the last week of September or the first week of October. The end of winter and heading into spring
Must be nice, lol in America, November is the beginning of winter and October is the end of Fall. It's already 40 degrees Fahrenheit here, and it's too cold for me already. In January/February it can get to negative 4 degrees sometimes. Not looking forward to the snow, might spend a month in Florida, lol
@@LeeAkrish it's funny for some of us Aussies we would love to experience a real white Christmas with fresh powdery snow, but it's really not going to happen, unless of course hell freezes over, 😂😂. Our Christmas is in most cases are hot, Tasmanian summer is a little cooler, but generally speaking it's hot, in the tropical regions the humidity insanely high and just about everywhere else there's no humidity and is just this dry heat. I still love a full on baked dinner for lunch, however so many Aussies love a seafood Christmas, with prawns, crabs and fish, I'm not a huge seafood fan. But the one good thing that this pandemic has done is opened the world up to people, who in normal life wouldn't have found time to experience other cultures as easily. It's honestly the only good thing that has come out of this global problem.
Cheers from Australia
@@mattallen2801 I'm from Melbourne and we just got out of our 6th lockdown. It will be very busy during the summer period
@@benjaminjarrett9964 hi Ben, I'm an ex-victorian, spent my teenage years in Central Victoria after moving from Parkdale in Melbourne, climate is definitely different up here on the NSW/QLD border, lol
I've still got family in Melbourne, my mum in her mid 80's in Dandenong and 1 of my sisters is in Harkaway, so I can sort of understand your lockdown woes
@@mattallen2801 ha for us most places close for Christmas so the go to is usually Chinese food if we choose to eat out, funny to see its Seafood for yall, cheers mate
Is actually a winter sport, far to hot in Australia's summer to do that much running, a mid-fielder can run 16-18kms in a game. The Grand Final is normally the last weekend in September, with a crowd of 100,000 (MCG holds 100,024 seats, and is a sell-out every non-covid year). Best all around athletes in the world, ie soccer players more skilful with their feet, but dont have to jump, catch, bounce, tackle, handpass etc, Basketball might be more agile, but no kicking and alot less endurance, Rugby players are bigger and stronger but dont have the hand and foot skills, or endurance.
Nope it's an autumn to spring sport
@@adambrock3932 no one cares
@@reallyskeptical obviously you do otherwise you wouldn't have commented
Great video Marie 🤗 So nice to see you discovering other sports from different countries. I've always like watching Australian Rules Football. It's very exciting! Take care and stay safe 🙏
Great to see you enjoy our great game. Aussie rules is one of the oldest team sports in the world, a lot of the clubs were formed in the 1800s. My team Port Adelaide was formed in 1870 and the club has more premierships than any other club playing in their top tier competition, this being the South Australian National Football League (SANFL) when there were only state based competitions before the advent of the national AFL competition.
It’s very similar to Gaelic football I’ve noticed.
Sorry mate but you cannot include South Australian premiership wins in the SANFL as Port Adelaide only joined the AFL in 1997. That means the TWO TEAMS that have the greatest number of premiership wins in the VFL/AFL are both ESSENDON and CARLTON with 16 wins each. Essendon joined the VFL in 1871 and Carlton joined the VFL in 1896. Sorry for correcting you but you needed to know the truth mate. The VFL was started in 1858, 24 years after South Australia was founded in 1834 and therefore Victoria is the true home of Australian Football and has more state-based teams. State of Origin games between Victoria and South Australia was only to put bums on seats before VFL became AFL and went National with other states joining the league.
Very surprised that you got into copyright trouble. AFL love their sport being promoted and normally don't care. Maybe pause the video a few times with some comments and questions would stop it happening.
nice video Marie, enjoyed finding out about this, so now you're teaching me new things.
I can't believe you are wearing a West Virginia shirt! I graduated from there in 1983, Let's Go Mountaineers!!

Judging by the pennants on the wall it could be that she has a few bob each way on a few teams.
Afl channel wont block this i watch every reactor learning the greatest sport they've never heard of.
Season starts again in march finished September.
Generally a winter sport.
Nice to see you dive into australian videos more.
AFL season runs from 18th of March to the 25 September
AFL was started in 1859 so is one of the oldest forms of football
Documented evidence from Sydney newspaper report soldiers from the Rum Rebellion of 1829 playing Rugby in Wynyard Park (now Sydney CBD) Also referenced from 1832 of children / schoolboys playing in now Hyde Park
@@flamingfrancis Professional football. Rugby was considered an amateur sport at the time.
AFL is a winter sport. As you can see there’s a lot of running & contact, hence why they wear vest style guernseys & shorts. Playing in summer would be too hard on the body. These guys are very fit & athletic, they run an average of 12.8 km’s per game.
The AFL Grand Final usually has a crowd of just over 100,000, it’s an awesome atmosphere!
There are injuries of course, but surprisingly, less head injuries than NFL with their helmets etc. I believe it’s because they lead with their heads when tackling & AFL players, like Rugby players, are trained not to. It’s a fast paced & very exciting game.
Nope it starts in march which is autumn
Funny but it seems the women (AFLW) were capable of playing in summer but thank heavens it has been move to an August start as from 2022
AFL is awesome to watch, it’s fast paced and high scoring, and the players are incredible.
As an awesome Aussie meme goes: Soccer players pretend they’re hurt...
AFL players pretend they aren’t.
It’s funnier with the picture, but the point stands ;P
@J G And yet the meme is no less accurate.
@J G You really have no idea. Soccer is laughed at. It is failing. It is Aussie rules or either of the rugby variants. Soccer will always just be a small sport here only interesting if we make the world cup.
@@carisi2k11 This persons a troll, same rubbish on other AFL reacts, obviously getting to him, he’s panicking..
@@richme1631 his is clutching at straws mate haha
@J G haha. Macca's is probably biggest hamburger joint in the world. Doesn't mean it's best hamburger. Do you only eat Macca's?
Awesome video miss marie🌻🌻 I would pay to see this

Take care🌻🌻
The best sport in the world, from the sporting capital of the world - Melbourne 🇦🇺
Sporting capital of the world, what a typical wankish Melbourne thing to say!
Umm actually no your not the most liveable city in the world, havent been since 2016. Melbourne came in 9th in 2021, Adelaide was the highest ranked Australian city at no 3! So your not even the most liveable city in Australia. But hey any chance you melburnians have to give yourselfs a handchandy.
@@carlofaccini8034 Indeed. Adelaide represent!
@@carlofaccini8034, precisely!!! Good that there are some of us that put these wankers in their places!!! They certainly have their heads pretty far up somewhere!!!
@@carlofaccini8034 yep, Adelaide right up there, Perth also top 10, way out in front of Sictoria. Perth for me, then Sydney. Melbourne is the ugliest city in Australia and the weather is rubbish. Can't stand the people either.
I'm Australian and most Aussies learn about AFL at a young age we can be very aggressive supporters. The player's train extremely hard to keep physical fitness lots of skill. We hold the players to high standards if they break rules on or off the ground can cause them to be dismissed. The Grandfinal is in September and a huge deal if your team is in it even better
Not all especially in the 2 North Eastern States
@@adambrock3932 Note that he used the word ''most'' which is accurate.
And we aren't generally aggressive supporters either; we are very loyal and emotional supporters, but there tends to be very little aggression involved between the supporters of different teams.
Australians also play Rugby League, Rugby Union and Soccer. AFL is a Melbourne game, Sydney is mainly Rugby League.
Since 2017, a women's competition called the AFLW was formed; starting with eight teams in 9 week competition, to the current 18 team competition over 14 weeks.
Hi French girl, so nice to see you liking our AFL, there is such a great atmosphere at these games as its so fast and usually a lot of goals scored
Love the AFL. What's fun is when the NFL brings a player over. They turn them into punters because of their ability to kick the crap out of the ball. San Diego had a AFL player that was awesome. Unlike most punters in the NFL that avoid contact whenever possible, this guy would go down and punish anyone that had the audacity to return one of his punts.
Are You talking about Saverio Rocca?? I cant remember who he played for in the nfl is why im asking.
@@darknightmeh1748 he played for the Philadelphia Eagles
@@darknightmeh1748 Darren Bennett, NFL 1990s All-Decade Team Punter.
@@PjRjHj I'll be researching him now, thanks mate, appreciate ya telling me
Great to see you enjoyed it. It truly is an awesome game. : )
2022 season starts early march. so much fun, glad to see you enjoyed it
The AFL channel doesn't normally block. Plenty of other people have reacted with out being blocked.
Aussie Rules is played through winter, starting in mid March and ending with the Grand Final in late September.
OMG - You are gorgeous. Your reactions to our game was great. Women play the game as well and they are amazing to watch. (AFLW)
What a crazy sport!! Looks super fun! I don't think I've ever seen it before - if so I probably thought it was rugby. Amazing athletes. For a port that has rules it sure doesn't seem to. :0) Would love to see a match. Thanks Marie! Hello from Harper 🐺 :0)
It's roots are in old Rugby and pre-association football, that's why it looks similar.
You should check out "Go inside the 2020 Grand Final".
@@DougsShack its roots are not in rugby? Who told you that?
Originally an indigenous game
@@buff_stuff Australian Football? Tom Wills was sent to rugby school for a few years and returned with knowledge of the game in 1856. He encouraged cricketers to play the game to stay in shape during cricket's off-season. Since "football" codes in England were different depending on what school you went to, there was no real concept of what football should really look like. The sport quickly became popular and a set of rules were established, the "Melbourn Rules" of 1859.
@@DougsShack no. Marngrook
First official rules set for the game in 1859. Started in Melbourne as a way for cricketers to keep fit. It's the link to cricket that has them playing on the same size field
Grand final is usually around late September
Honey, your reaction to sports is so fun to watch. You would be wonderful to have at a Football Game.
You can find so much on you tube and the season starts in the last weekend of March to the last Saturday of September
It looks tougher than American football, since they don’t wear any protective equipment.
Footie used to be on American sports channel ESPN back in the 80s. I watched it a lot.
Footy 😁
It's the off season at the moment. The season is played through the Aussie winter and the grand final (the "granny") is traditionally the last Saturday in September.
Actually it's played through the autumn and winter as it starts in march which is the first month of autumn and there's 3 months in autumn
Good to see you like this game, lm a port Adelaide supporter 👍
it has been around since 1850's, it started in Victoria to keep the cricket players fit over the winter months, the Grand Final is played in September. the men have a pro league and in the past few years woman have also got a pro league.
The AFL grand final made history this year as it was played for the first time since the inception of the game and league in Perth Western Australia
When someone jumps on you and takes a mark it hurts pride more than physically most of the time
That leap on to the shoulders to gain leverage for height is extremely dangerous...could easily go wrong and do severe damage to other player's neck / spine if he alignment is miscued.
@@flamingfrancis to be honest most people that get hurt in those scenarios is the players jumping over the top as you concentrate on the ball and don't think about the landing.
Kudos to being the only person I've seen react that then straight away watched actual game play..
It is a winter sport in Australia, played between about March to September. There is also women's Football which starts in Jan/Feb. The AFL seems pretty good about not blocking reactors, so I think you are safe.
Note the ball is not only not a round (perfectly predictable) soccer ball, and also it is different to a Rugby Union and Rugby League ball and need I say, an NFL ball. Rules will be strange with hand passes and having to bounce ball on ground every so many strides. Great for player's confidence...they register six points for a clean shot between the big posts but if they miss ad ball goes inside smaller posts they get one point for turning up.
Hi Marie, great video and great reaction. AFL is my kind of football and Essendon is my team. (black and red colours) If you are interested in more AFL you should certainly watch the best marks (catches) and the best goals. And perhaps something about the best players such as Buddy Franklin, Eddie Betts and Dustin Martin to name a few.
Before a game, the players run through a large banner prepared by their supporters (the cheer squad) as they run onto the oval. Each club has their own theme song; many based on 19th century songs with trumpets and the like. The club theme songs are worth a reaction video if you're interested.
To clarify using your opponent to catch the ball; yes you can jump on him or use as a springboard (don't be dangerous about it). If you take the mark, then you can take the kick. If you don't, you give away a free kick to your opponent.
Go bombers!
An AFL season spans for 6 months, starting from early-mid March until the final Saturday in September which is when the Grand Final is played. I highly suggest watching the 2021 AFL grand final mini match
5:16 its a winter sport but it starts in march/april and the regular season ends in August. The finala run through september. The last saturday in September is the day of the grand final
Welcome to AFL the best footy game in thw world, and one of the oldest sports recorded...Loved your reaction, AFL is a winter sport here in Australia. The AFL Grand Final is normaly played in September in Melbourne but Covid-19 changed that last year but we are hoping it will be played as normal in Melb this coming Sept.
The season runs from about March to September.
Looks like hockey rugby & soccer all rolled into one sport. Crazy 😀
it's full contact Basketball, using your feet
Hey French girl i'm glad you enjoyed our national game....it put a smile on my dial watching your reaction. If you like getting the stuffing knocked out of you you will love playing this game. We are concerned about the amount of concussions, no more than most contact sports, there have been some rule tweaks to try and address this. Come over and watch a game live, the atmosphere is unique and after you will be well and truly hooked.
I have seen some Australian Rules. It looks like fun. I haven't gotten 'into it' but I'm open. Right now I really get too involved with college football.
Okay, I'm at the concert venue in Ogden, Utah, waiting for the Home Free concert to begin! I'm so excited! I'll try to get Austin's autograph, if I can I'll send it to you!
I have not seen the video you are showing, I'll have to check it out then come back.
That would be Amazing for Marie ,I was thinking the same thing,I hope you get it 🤞and let everyone know how exciting it was 🤠🎶🇬🇧
Omg so lucky!!!!!!!!!!
Watch top 50 afl marks of all time
You might be interested that the AFL now has the AFLW - the early stages of bringing the women's game into the professional ranks. Pretty sure there will be highlights on the AFLW's website. The women have some distance to go but you can't fault their commitment and tackling skills.
Afl games start late march and continue thru to September when finals start. It's actually an Australian winter sport played thru autumn winter and spring. Cricket is Australian summer sport. Aussie rules brought together the nationalities that lived in Australia at the time and parts of the games they played back in the 1800's like basketball, rugby, soccer, Gaelic football and an aboriginal sport they played to produce the game we all watch now. Which is why you see so many characteristics of other sports in our game.
It's starts at the end of may till the last Saturday in September
Yes they have teeth guards AFL is Australian Football League and children play football as soon as they start school . We now have an all girls football team Nationally Cheers 🇦🇺🐨🐨🇦🇺❤️
Australian Rules has been around since the mid-1800s, older than most other football styles. It was supposedly devised to keep cricketers active during the off-season.
Believe it or not but AFL is played mostly through our coldest months of our year, It starts in March and the Grand Final is in late September, so it starts in our Autumn, goes through our Winter and finishes in Spring. The weather can be very cold and also raining but the running around helps keep you warm The players wear the same uniform all year, its rare for any player to wear a jumper with sleeves, 99.99% of them wear just what you saw in the clip. Its the greatest sport in the world! I can't wait to go to a game again next year now that we are getting on top of Covid, I only got to go to one game this year. If you ever visit Australia, make sure you attend a game. Its amazing :) I follow Hawthorn aka The Mighty Hawks :) Each team has a Suburb name and an associated animal or thing. My team, the Hawks, or Hawthorn which is a suburb in the Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne in Victoria. The Grand Final can have as many as 100, 000 spectators, I have been lucky enough to attend 4 of them in my life :)
The Grand Final is played on the last Saturday in September
I am surprised AFL blocked the video, they haven't blocked any other people doing reactions to what is AFL?
I have a lot of copyright issues on my channel, with content that normally other people have no problem with. It could be because I’m based in France 🇫🇷
@@FrenchTastic Perhaps reach out to the AFL. From all accounts they are extremely helpful.
All the comments are telling you when the grand final - the last game in the season - is played: the last Saturday in September. But the season starts in March.
Aussies Rules Footy is a fast exciting game with non-stop action.
It is not shown in other countries because it will steal viewers from other football codes.
While most sports are based on keeping possession. AFL It is based on _keeping's-off_ so the ball is always moving.
It is the oldest football code in the world ... Started in 1851
It has the highest percentage (41%) of women attending AFL games compared to other football codes.
There is a Women's League AFLW and almost 30% of women participate.
Australian Rules football was invented in 1859 but it's never been recognized anywhere else only until recent years. It's a great game. My Dad played it and so did I on a high school team.
Wow, THAT game looks hard and rough.
No other sport asks more questions of its competitors
Keep watching love! You will get there.
Thanks Marie for your reaction to the AFL. This may be a good replacement for American football.
Don't worry. I don't think the AFL will block you. I have seen many of these AFL reaction videos from the USA, the UK and Italy. The NRL are fussy, but the AFL don't mind. You can stream a reaction to a live game but you cannot show the game live on RUclips. Videos are no problem at all, so go for it. You're the first French person to react to AFL I have seen.
Is anybody going to mention the inset video in this reaction is tiled into a 3x3 display ?
The 2022 season has just started. Not sure what options you have in France to watch though?
The game has been around for well over 100 years
As an Aussie I can reassure you that the AFL will love and appreciate any and all free promotion they can get so go nuts ;)
Mate, the AFL season generally runs from late March to late September, during the Australian winter months. The Grand Final is normally played on the last Saturday in September... Tschüss aus Australien.
7:45 that's a hip and shoulder perfectly legal providing the shoulder doesn't make contact with the opponents head
I personally prefer cricket, but I respect AFL!
You would be aware Aussies love their sport. AFL began in the winter of 1858. It was created by Englishmen, based on sports played at English public schools and wanting to keep cricketers fit during the winter months (Jun-Aug) as cricket in Australia is played in Summer (Dec-Feb). Melbourne and Geelong founded in 1858 and 1859 are among the oldest continuous sporting clubs in the world. The AFL winter season is March to September.
In the state of Victoria, the government grant September 24 as a public holiday for the AFL Grand Final (generally the Friday before Saturday's Grand Final).
I haven’t heard that it was invented by an Englishman, I always understood AFL was started by an Australian born fella called Thomas Wills.
@@IcanbePsycho That's correct! Thomas Wills was Australian born but educated in England. He was the grandson of a convict I believe.
@@IcanbePsycho Hammersley, Bryant & another were English born. I believe Wills was Australian born & umpired the first match.
Great reactions and sexy accent. The AFL season is March to late September or early October, so unfortunately you have missed this year's season. However, the AFLW (women's version of the game) starts on 6th January 2022, so you might want to check that out. You picked up the fact that it is a fast game. This is true. Sometimes the ball can be moved from one end of the ground (which is around 180 m long) to the other very rapidly (fastest I have seen is 12 second) by a combination of running with the ball and passing to team mates by hand or foot. You also noticed that it is "violent". It is true that the players need to be tough, but much of the violence that used to occur has been weeded out by the application of tough penalties for offending players. You also recognised that there are elements of many different games in Australian rules football. This is true but it is not because Australian rules football was derived from lots of other sports. Australian rules football is actually a pretty old game. The very first game was between two Melbourne schools in 1858 and the rules were codified in 1859, which earlier than rugby (1871), association football (which we call soccer, 1864) and American football (1873). It was invented as a way of keeping cricketers fit in winter. That is why it is played on an oval ground (pitch or field). Often, the ground is used for football in winter and cricket in summer. The Grand Final attendance is actually normally 100,000, which I guess is "90,000+", but that is a weird way that they said it. It is true that the Grand Final is normally held at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) but, because of COVID restrictions, it was held at the Gabba in Brisbane in 2020 and Perth Stadium in 2021.
Yeah, this game is popular on the south, but in the north, we prefer Rugby League.
The multi screens were giving me a massive headache !
Surprised you had any censorship issues with that one. It's used all the time by reaction youtubers, and the AFL tend to be happy for the game to be advertised and promoted overseas.
Welcome aboard, nonetheless. Enjoy!
G'day I'm a new subscriber and in answer to your question the final start in September
The AFL are always trying to show the game around the world. So they actually like RUclipsrs reacting to their videos. There are no other televised Australian Football leagues in other countries, so it is not a problem. By reacting to the official videos you are helping the AFL grow their game.
You should watch the women’s games . It’s just as fast paced and often a lot tougher.
It would be too hot to play "footy" in the Australian summer. The grand final is in mid-spring.
I find it hard to believe that there was no Dustin Martin in those highlights at the end.
It might look like they combined other sports to make this game but in fact Aussie Rules is older than those other sports. It dates back to the 1850's It is played in winter as it was designed for cricket players to keep fit in the winter time. Just remember our winter is your summer. You will have to wait till it starts again after the summer.
It’s the oldest competition, not the oldest sport. It was influenced by other types of football
@@macdac9861 yes I agree it was modelled off Rugby and Soccer (or English Football) . I was only referring to how many Americans equate it to NFL or Basketball. It's the same when some people react to Cricket saying that they got pieces of it from Baseball.
@@Notric I was just being particular about semantics. The point you are making is right, Australia has been doing its own thing for a long long time…..well most of Australia, NSW’s inferiority complex means they can’t defer to Vic about anything leaving them and QLD left with the pommy import
Little Ladie you should watch AFL biggest hits , and just so you know AFL is a winter game
Nope, that's winter. AFL is a winter sport, although the Grand Final is actually played in early spring.
If those guys tried to run 22 km in mid summer in 2 hours in Australia they would die from heat stroke.
Actually it's an autumn to spring sport

@@tcullen3684 yeah I get a bit dyslexic when it comes to acronyms lol and thank you 🙏
womens afl starts soon our summer. anyone anysize can play and u all do everything
Unfortunately the mens afl season has ended for 2021, the Grand Final was on September 25 between Melbourne and Western Bulldogs. The good news though is that the women’s season, AFLW, starts in January. It is a much shorter season than the men’s, and there are only 14 teams instead of 18, but it’s growing all the time (AFLW started in 2017, whereas AFL started as VFL back in 1897). Australian Rules football actually was devised back in 1858 when Tom Wills of the Melbourne cricket Club proposed a sport to keep the cricket players fit in the winter and from there the Melbourne Football Club was born. Melbourne actually d we on this years premiership, their 13th, but their first since 1964, so we as Melbourne fans were very excited. I’ll post you a link to the game in full if you would like to watch it.
Edit - here’s the whole grand final. Hope you enjoy it!! ruclips.net/video/gJmD8LC9p68/видео.html
Most Australians live in the two states dominated by Rugby League, but it doesn't have the phenomenal popularity of Australian Rules football you find in the rest of the country. That's because Rugby League is traditionally a working class game and for that reason it doesn't appeal to everyone. But I think here has been highlighted another reason for the difference in popularity. The average rugby league player, whilst powerfully built, hasn't got the tall athletic figure that attracts women to AFL. Also, it doesn't hurt that because AFL players are reaching up so much to catch the ball, they wear sleeveless shirts that show off their muscular arms and shoulders. Since their shirts are so skimpy it would look strange if they had baggy shorts so they've always worn tight shorts as well. It can be argued that the women in Melbourne are more fanatical than the men about footie.
