Care to explain Aussie posters. Can't get my head around it, but it looks fun if you know what the hell is happening.

I've seen it on tv a few times. Honestly, it's one of the most entertaining sports I've ever watched. I barely know the rules, but it looks fun as hell. Way more entertaining to me compared to rugby or football.

I remember seeing Eric Bana discuss this on Fallon once. They have to bounce the ball every so often?

There is a ton of rules.As the games got quicker,they have tightened up the rules on head high hits and sliding into other guys legs.
Im biased of course but there is no other game that comes close to AFL.It encompasses every skill,it requires strength and it demands ridiculous endurance levels.

I guess its like gridiron in the U.S, in that pretty much no one else around the world plays it,but it is hugely popular.

Go the West Coast Eagles :) .

'Aussie Rules' is a 'fish and chip' game, unlike the great game of Rugby League!
