Get the AFL mug.AFL is the most amazing game of football. it stands for the Australian FOOTBALL League. It requires the most skill and the guys who play it aren't pussies like the ones who play soccer. they will take a massive hit and get right back up and keep playing. whereas in soccer they will fall/trip over without anyone being near them, they will stay on the ground whining until they get a reward.
It is a true Aussie sport. if you hate it, get out of the country, simple.

Mate 1: "What'd you do on the weekend?"
Mate 2: "Went to the football."
Mate 1: "Oh, how'd the boys go?"
Mate 2: "Yeah Man Utd were going-"
Mate 1: "Football is AFL! GET OUT!"

Get the AFL mug.Best sport ever. All those people that say that it doesnt have skill are morons. How much skill does it take to run in a straight line at a bunch of opposition players. Compare that with weaving throught 5 or 6 players at full pace, then unleashing a perfect drop punt that hits your mate 50 metres away bang on the chest. How can leaping 6 foot onto someones back while trying to grap a moving ball is not easy. And what the fuck is the scrum in rugby league. If you still think that AFL is shitter than rugby league, look at the attendances. AFL football has 3 times attendance compared to NRL. Has no class barrier, in the amateur days, doctors played alongside plumbers, and nothing has changed. Open to any shape and size, whereas sports such as basketball and rugby only look for one shape and size

Get the AFL mug.AFL; abbreviation of Australian Finger League
A sport which pits competitors against each other in the sport of 'australian fingering'.
A 6 point score or 'finger' can be made when the competitor presents the middle finger upright with the remaining fingers closed in a tight fist and has his/her opponent unwillingly look at the finger.
1 point is allocated when the opponent knowingly looks at the finger.
Arguments often escalate into all out war which generally ends in a match of FIFA 08 on the nearest Xbox 360 and sometimes... only sometimes, on a Playstation 3.
