Anyone here a fan of Aussie rules football?

I think I could get into this, so I don't watch it cause I don't have the time. :P

1. Watched it a lot in the early days of ESPN

But when they didn't have rights to many other sports.

I loved it but never understood what the hell was going on.

2. The only reason I don't watch...

is there isn't a station on my cable package that carries it. Fox Soccer Channel used to carry the Grand Final live at midnight.

[Rabrrrrrr]

3. I've always found it weird that it's called "Australian rules football",

because as far as I could ever tell, there were no actual rules other than "You get points by moving the ball over the goal lines, and you can do whatever you want to get it there".

4. Hah.

I thought the issue would be regarding calling it football rather than rugby.

5. It's fun to watch.

And I LOVE how the officials deal with fights: just put the ball back in play.
