Some of those players are good.

Would be good to see AFL expand overseas to USA, UK, South Africa and parts of Asia.

Could get a cup going on which includes Australia :]

See Australia just munch everyone LOL.

Man I'm shocked.

Wasn't this played at the home of Aussie Rules Football, Melbourne?

Where are the crowds?

Where are the throngs of adoring fans?

Still, I reckon even though the best crowd there was about 40, that's a record crowd for an international Aussie Rules game anyway.

Congrats AFL, congrats Clarkey!!

@SportFan255 It can grow to crazy levels in a year, and I suspect that it might - some time...

Too many pussy, padded up sports going around, so for those wanting a real mans game involving outrageous courage, this is it.

Such a gay song. It put me off, half way.

Anyway, good to see some OS players having a go.

They are mostly 3rd division players okay for a suburban league, but I saw some good footy amongst the lack luster stuff.

@Sw33tN3sS915 Is that because they don't look good all puffed up with layers of padding?

Haha what a fucking joke this video is, Aussie Rules will always be a provincial pissant bogan sport.

There are many types of footballs, for me, real football is Rugby (Union rules).

There are Soccer or Assicitional football, Gridiron which also divides in American and Canadian football, Gaelic football, Australian Football, International football (Mix of Gaelic and Australian football), Rugby football which divides in Rugby union and ruby league. And all those football types divide into more types.

All are real footballs.

i agree with u american football is a mans sport i guarantee these guys wouldnt make the practice squad for the lions

[mmadddog]

the skill level is pretty bad but they still have more skill and pace than any pro league and union player

I think that the quality of footy produced in this video is terrible. But if the game wants to grow it needs to grow from somewhere. The world needs to know about our game, It's "Australian Football". It's great to see heaps of countries around the world playing our game, it means most countries like what they see. The quality can only get better. I dream of one day in the future of Aussie Rules being in the Olympic Games.
