Yeah, we get it over here in the UK via SkySports. It's a good game once you know what's going on haha!! Some of the punch-ups can be good to watch aswel. during the season they have a weekly round-up show, with all the hits, top goals, etc...

it's like gridiron, but played on an oval shaped playing field, with goals at either end, but our goals have four posts, kicking through the middle is a goal; 6 points, and kicking through the other ones on either side is 1 point.

each team has 18 guys, and played with a ball similar again to the shape of a gridiron ball, and it is mainly kicked to another player rather than a pass.

they only way they can pass it with their hands is by doing a hand ball, which is like punching the ball out of your hand with you other as a fist.

they wear no protective equipment, excpet a mouth card. We also have what is called a 'specky' which is when the ball is kicked to a player, and as he is running to mark the ball, if a player of the opposition is in front of him about to mark it also, he will literally run up the back of the other player and leap into the air to mark the ball, done with the right timing it can make for something very spectacular marks, hence where the word specky comes from; spectacular. These guys can get about 12 feet in the air doing this mark!!

the game can get fairly intense at times and more than enough there are huge punch ups on the field, like huge punch ups, which makes for a really good game!!!

Yeah, i just started the topic to see what the States lads would say.

Ahhh the city of "four seasons in a day."
Melbourne and afl. I don't mind the game - in fact I really dig it - live that is. On telle it kinda sucks - well it doesnt suck but aint as good.
I'd like it more if the Swans were doing better.

The season is under way and controversy has already started:

- Nick Riewoldt, the best player in the league, broke his collar bone and a f$%ed shouler and some of the opposition realised that he was hurt and went up and started bashing his arm area to make it worse... he did go back to play though so the players didn't get in trouble.
