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

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.

A sport played in Australia with derivations from soccer and rugby. The aim of the game is to score more points than the other team by kicking an oddly shaped red or yellow ball between the goal posts or the point posts. It is played mainly in the southern Australian cities (Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth) but has lots of talent scouted from the Northern Territory.
The game is a fast paced and exciting contact sport. Players are often sprint fit and very agile. Tight fitted uniforms are worn to prevent tackling from opposition players. The game involved more strategic skill than purely brawn based sports such as Rugby. There is a large AFL betting culture. The game is watched by people of all socio-economic backgrounds and is more watched and followed than sports such as soccer, basketball, and rugby in the southern cities.

AFL, standing for Australian Football League - is the highest level of professional Australian rules football. Possibly the greatest sport ever invented.
AFL is football for real men.
It sure as hell beats American football, as the players don't wear all that pathetic padding/protection.
Anyone who says AFL is gay, is either an American who has never watched a game of real AFL football, or a stuffy Pom who thinks soccer is real football.
The main premise is to kick the ball through posts to score points. While avoiding getting tackled by other players.
More skill is involved in Australian Rules Football than Rugby League, yet many people fail to realize this.
