AFL, Australian Football League, Aussie Rules, Footy, Aerial Ping Pong or whatever you like to call it is the names most used for the AFL here in Australia.
Although Aussie Rules is quite an involved sport, here is a simple explanation of the sport, I haven’t played AFL and it is probably one of the few sports I haven’t played but I am an avid fan of it and have only grown to like it immensely in the last few years, I am still holding out for another Qld Team to enter the fray eventually so I can be really passionate about a team, maybe one day….
AFL history started in 1858 as a way for cricketers to keep fit in the off season, who would of thought the great game would evolve into what it is now Australia wide.
AFL is professionally played throughout Australia with teams currently in VIC, NSW, WA, SA and QLD, there are also semi professional, amateur and junior competitions in every state too.
