>>2 Yeah that's true, its different to American football in the way that there is no protection, I mean besides mouth guards, and it's very tactical, lots of running around, throwing, jumping, tackling and what not to get the ball and get the goal.
I'm from Australia and it's so common, but Im not a huge fan, ive played it at school... But all I can say that's awesome in AFL is when someone pulls a 'speckie' when the ball is in the air and it's just about to be caught by a player, another player runs up behind and jumps onto the catchers back to get the ball. Gotta love the slo-mo replays of those...
Sry I typo like crazy.
