I agree, Aussie Rules rules. Couldn't get enough of it when I lived down there. I'll take it over American football anyday. Go Eagles and Dockers!

I wouldn't slag off any sport that involves athletic endeavour - hell, I've even come round to appreciating cricket. Some people enjoy soccer for the sublety and strategy of it, some people can't get into it 'cos it's too slow and scoring events/climactic points take sooo long to happen. Often the big hyped-up matches turn out to be dreary affairs scarcely justifying the huge amounts of pay the players get.

At least with Aussie rules there is plenty of excitement and the scoreboard keeps ticking over more regularly. I probably prefer it to Gaelic football although sometimes the contrast is the Aussie Rules seems to have no rules.. but that is probably my fault for not sussing them out.

Personally Gaelic hurling would be the team game I'd watch in preference to any other but Id still enjoy soccer & rugby and the other field sports.

Football (Soccer) should get rid of the off-sides rule to see if they can open the game up a little bit. The quality of the defence is so much higher than in previous genereations, so I think we have moved past the point where the offence needs to be limited by the rules.

As a spectator I prefer American football, 300+ lb. steroid freaks bashing each others heads in. It's like modern day Gladiators, very entertaining. As a player I prefer Rugby can't say exactly why just that it is a lot of fun.

American Football would be a very interesting sport, but for the fact that in a four-hour game, the ball is in play for only 12-16 minutes.

And for 3 hours and 45 minutes I watch the cheerleaders.

Aussie rules takes ridiculous skill and athleticism. You try kicking a football 50 feet on the dead run with a guy breathing down your neck and hitting your mate square in the chest like Peter Matera was famous for doing.

Yeah, it does seem that way. I'm also led to believe that the surfing is better in Australia than it is here in Canada. Well, obviously...

Lads. Man for man, Hurling is probably the best sport you will ever see, The sheer speed, skill, athleticism is a joy to behold. Soccer is like golf, its a great game for women of both sexes.
