How many times have you walked away from Monday Night Football musing, "If only this game were more violent..." Meet Australian Rules Football. Aussie ex-pats and their eager American converts are bringing this rowdy, athletically rigorous sport to a city near you. Full contact. No padding. Heavy competition and heavier accents. Care to have a go, mate?

  • If Foster Lager took America but storm, wait to they drink the Beer's we actual like.

  • @tru3b1u31 It's true, plus we have the added entertainment of continually arguing about it!

  • @DannyEmbling well considering it is the most popular sport in WA, VIC, SA, NT, TAS and they have teams in QLD and NSW it is the closest thing to Australia's national sport. But ye at least we have variety in Australia, i wouldn't want Australia to just play AFL then we would suck at international sports =/.

  • @stevemize1126 Watching this video definitely won't give you the full story. No offense to the people playing, but the skill level in Australia is MUCH higher. AFL is one of the hardest games on the planet skill-wise; there are so many variables it's ridiculous. There may be no real strategy in this particular game, but at a professional level there certainly is :)

  • @DannyEmbling I'd say 'native' is a good way of putting it. 'National' does tend to carry a sense of arrogance with it.

  • @Kse7en Ok yeah I assumed so, just being a smart arse as they play a fair bit in the NT :), and yeah NSW is about 90% rugby league, with union, soccer and aussie rules fighting over the other 10%. Except for the Riverina which is about 50/50. Qld is also predominantly rugby league, although Aust rules is fairly strong there.

    You're right its not the "national" code, its more that its a "native" code, one endemic to the nation. I think that's where the arguable use of "national" comes from.

  • @DannyEmbling C'mon, you know i mean NSW and QLD are Rugby League states. Cairns and Darwin, well...they're not exactly Sydney and Brisbane.

  • @Kse7en Up north as in Cairns and Darwin? Umm ...

  • @SenMuJie I don't think so. China, Japan, Vietnam, they all have a bit of footy being played, but don't think there's any in Taiwan.

  • That game looks fun!!!!  Is there a league in Taiwan?
