I quite like watching Aussie Rules Football, can sometimes watch a game on the Australia Network on cable here in Thailand.
It's not like any other game really, kind of a cross between Rugby - American Football (without the pads) and British Bulldog. Tough game though by the looks of it.
I like the game too....but chanel 7s coverage sucks....and the AFL are hell bent on makeing it the fastest game on earth...there killed off a lot of defensive skills and now its run run run.
We dont have wingmen centermen ruck rovers anymore...there all called midfeilders now, (sound familar?)
and if a team gets a bit of a run on then the games over fairly early and often a blow out...its changed a lot but i wouldnt take too much notice of my complaints becasue record numbers are watching it either live or on tv.
Update....Malthouse got fined 7500AU$ for his remark to Milne and his assitant was fined 3000...milne got off...even after he was reported to have said to Malthouse "you gray haired old C...." or words to that affect and call his assistant coach a "f...ing homo" .Milne was to have been charged for rape several years back but the charges were never laid as we assume the female in question refused to take the matter further...again we assume that the St kilda FC paid out a nice part of Milnes salary for that season as a donation for her long holiday overseas she was planning..and the car and the house....
