Maybe it's just me, but I prefer watching Aussie rules over all the other forms of football out there, like CFL, arena football, and rugby.
- 3 downs in CFL sucks and breaks up the action.
- arena football field is too small
- rugby doesn't have the kick-ass Australian commentators

Richmond has a great team song.

Gaelic Football and Aussie Rules are great. International rules is fun (although better when they had more fights between the Irish and the Australians).
And perhaps the greatest incident to ever happen in any match occured during an international rules game:
The three downs in CFL does suck when neither team can move the ball, but I sort of wish the incorporated the kicking rules from CFL into football instead of getting rid of kicking altogether (onside kicks on punts and field goals, no fair catch).
did one of their star players say "fuck The Lodge!!"??

I'd love to have a UW version of this song.
I feel like I should take a 3 martini lunch and sexually harass[/s] fuck my administrative assistant [/s]secretary after listening to that.

Rugby has Australian commentators for Australian games. HTH.
Anyway, rugby has a real international game with an actual World Cup, unlike any of the other forms of football you name. Before even getting into anything else, that makes it superior.

So pumped for #MyGiants making their first ever Granny.

I've followed the AFL on and off. I got the AFLTV package for the first time in a few years last season. One year too late though unfortunately, as my Eagles had just won the Premiership the year before.
Planning on getting it again this time around.

I like to call it "footy". I've been to Australia a couple of time and am practically a native.

The dog is the least[/i] confusing part of this video.
What the actual fuck is going on in that game!? I need to look up some Aussie football rules, apparently.
It's a highly evolved version of Smear the Queer.
It became legendary on early ESPN
In the mid 80s I used to skip school and watch Aussie football and the CFL on ESPN during weekdays
Used to watch Aussie Football with a bloke from Sidney in LA. Fucking loved the guy. Miss my Aussie Brother #nohomo.

Why in gods name would anyone want to watch the CFL?
Even here in Canada it's not very popular, outside of the Prairie Provinces.
