Aussie Rules thread

Ditto to that. I'm totally unfamiliar with ARF too. The only thing I know about Aussie Rules is that Aussie rules is played by Aussies (only) and that players get to wear sleeve less shirts ... I like that, sort of.

Acctualy there are a few small leagues all around the world... Especialy in Irland who play a simmiler game called Galic football. Australia ussualy select a team of players to compeate against the Irish in the 'International Rules' series.

There are a couple big rivalries Port and the Crows (both South Australian teams vying for the title of the best in the state)

West Coaste and Fremantle pretty much as the same as above, cept Fremantle have a woeful record against WestCoast

Collingwood and Essendon have a fierce rivalry

Don't mind the team, it's the supporters I can't stand.

Ahh, A Power fan. At a game a week ago vs. Richmond, a bloke stood up during a fairly stagnant passage of the game and said "ALLAN SCOTT, YOU WERE RIGHT", and the whole crowd broke into histerics.

I realise ACL has been quite helpful with the understanding in all of this, but I'll provide you with updates now and again. The ladder as it stands.

 West Coast Eagles 28
Geelong 24
Richmond 20
Melbourne 20
Kangaroos 20
Fremantle 16
St Kilda 16
Adelaide 16
Western Bulldogs 12
Sydney Swans 12
Port Adelaide 10
Carlton 10
Hawthorn 8
Brisbane Lions 8
Essendon 8
Collingwood 4

At the end of the season, the final eight teams compete in the finals series. It is, without a doubt, the most exciting sport in the world.
