hes the first non irish foreigner to play aussie rules. I actually like the afl its a change of pace from what we have here[/b]

you should live here in melbourne for a while and you'll know why i love rugby....

15 out of 17 pages in the weekend sport section of the newspaper and dedicated to AFL, there's at least 3, possibly 4 AFL talk shows, regurgitating the same dribble week in week out.

real AFL was called VFL back in the day.

Gaelic Football. They are very similar......

AFL is an appaling sport.

I like Aussie Rules, it's fun. I'd love to play it actually.

I really enjoy the highlight shows we get of it over here. Not sure i could sit through a full game. TBH i half watch it just to see Setanta O hAlipin. He's dreamy.
