Well the AFL (Australian Football leauge) is ending very soon with only one match to go, The Grand Final!!, and my home team (brisbane lions) are in it against collingwood which brisbane beat last year for the grand final, also if the lions win this year it makes it 3 premierships in a row which is extremly hard

Lol only brigbro would now what im talking about

Do you guys have a super bowl or nothing? Furthermore is it real football with like field goals or with goalies? LOL The word football can be confusing when using it with international people.

[obiwan22]

yeah to you mean like with a ball kicked into a net or with a football that can be thrown with your hands.

[Dart060]

Thats why they call it AFL, Anyway Brisbane is thrash Collingwood and make them cry like they did last year.

Good News for brisbane, just found out Anthony Rocca has a two match suspension for striking and will mis out for the grand final

[Kowboy]

That did not answer the question but.......

Its like gridiron except you dont score by runing over the try line and you dont wear armour. You kick the ball through the goalposts to get a goal.

Better?

No goalie. Circular oval, ball is shaped differently. It's an oval shape. You hold the ball while running, and bounce it every few steps (it takes skill to bounce it). THen you kick it with your foot to a player or through the goals, or handball it to another player. 4 quarters, each going for about 20 min I think, but they normally take about 30 min to play with free kicks etc...

Hope you like my lovely explanation. Anymore querys: GO HERE or Here for the rules.

EDIT: Sorry if the goal posts don't look right for you. Everytime Dart posts, it seems to tab across a bit which kinda stuffed up my goalposts.

I'm just in Melbourne, just watched the grand final eve parade, wasn't that good though. Eh, at least I got to go there, wasn't even planning it

[Dart060]

Bad news for Brisbane, Shaun hart may retire if Brisbane wins grandfinal and Nigel Lappin has to wear a protective vest to protect his broken ribs , But the lions still kick A$$

To Bigbro: You went to the granfinal prade?, lol , I watched on tv and almost fell asleep. And guess what brisbane is taking some ruckman who played for Fitzroy lions or Brisbane Bears ( Fitzroy lions and Brisbane bears merged to make brisbane lions like 6 years ago or close to that figure.

Awsome, I'm watching it right now. Brisbane star, Jonathon Brown looks like he's broken his nose because some Collingwood player elbowed him in the nose
