WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE INTERNATIONAL AFL TEAM, I HAVEN"T HEARD OF IT!!!!
Can someone please enlighten me?
Till then, Get used to the fact that AFL is only a game that drunk aussies can understand!!!
Thankyou
Lets all go and support soccer as its the biggest international code.
Who cares if no one overseas follow Australian Rules, its Australia's game. Its a game with skill, combined with toughness, not that knock em down crap. I can actually appreciate rugby union because theres actually a bit of skill in it, they throw the ball around. Guys like Campese actually had a bit of skill!!!!!......END OF RANT.......
You're probably on the wrong forum to convince people of your argument "offensive line", but i do appreciate your passion for your sport. And in all honesty, as i've said it really does get down to which state you grow up in. If you grew up in SA, Vic, or WA, and i grew up in QLD or NSW, i'm sure we'd both have opposite views.
In all seriousness, it must be frustrating for you living in a non league state, although i think theyre showing the NRL Footy show on Thursday nights a big earlier over here now. That show is seriously entertaining, league has some great personalities (Matthew Johns, the Chief etc). But in saying that i'd say it would be easier as a league follower in SA (or Vic) today with the internet and foxtel than it would have been 10 or 15 years ago.
With any sports argument with passionate fans, its almost impossible for people to convince the other person of their argument, and the argument can get a touch abusive. Having said that, i hope you can continue to enjoy your favourite code, its great that you're so passionate.
Aussie rules is a difficult sport to understand i agree. Hopefully if you live here for a while you might get to know a few Aussie rules supporters who might be able to explain the rules and point out of the intricacies of the finer points of the sport.
