Title: Found a new sport to follow
Post by: Pigslilspaz on September 09, 2012, 08:35:24 PM: Since I have nocturnal tendencies, I went onto firstrow, looking for a random soccer match, and there was none. Guess what I found? Aussie Rules Football. It looks awesome, and I found something to watch at midnight on weekends. 18 a side, huge field, and a really bouncy ball, what's not to love?

One of my Aussie friends described it as a flock of Seagulls fighting for a bouncy chip

Post by: thundabooge on September 10, 2012, 04:55:57 AM: Since I moved to Perth last year, Ive become a huge AFL fan. Once you understand the strategy of the game it is awesome to watch. Everyone in the league is a super athlete. Everyone can run, jump, and kick with both legs. Nothing like watching Nic Natanui taking a flying mark jumping over ppl that are 6+ ft tall, Hayden Balyntine (a little smurf of a man but one of the most hardcore guys you will ever see) run circles around everyone or Mathew Pavlich kick a ripper goal from 60+ meters out from goal...

GO FREMANTLE DOCKERS!!! :rock :rock :rock

Collingwood sucks!!!!! :devil :devil :devil

I think they also get a group discount on proctological exams during the big pile-ons.
