Anyone into it? It looks like a lot of fun. I watched Adelaide and Port Adelade play this morning.

High scoring, seems more fun to me than Rugby anyway.

Fun game. My wife is an Essendon supporter. They suck this year because practically the whole team got busted and suspended for PED use, so we haven't been watching many games.

I have no idea when they have to dribble as they run or many of the other rules, but the punting accuracy is fun to watch and it's fairly fast paced.

I don't know if they've tried to grow the sport at all past national lines but seems to me it would be fun to play. Not much equipment is needed either.

i believe they have to bounce the ball every fifteen meters or they are called for "traveling" and have to turn the ball over to the other team.

my cousin's soon to be ex-husband's passion the last several years has been to start a professional footy league stateside. his frequent disappearances to oz to play and make connections is actually a big part of why they're breaking up i think, actually.

Ah, so it's similar to the NBA. Sorry your cousin has had such a tough time. Hope she has it better going forward.
