Alright!! Awesome! So would you mind explaining to me exactly what Aussie rules football entails? Is it like Rugby or American football or European football? Sorry for not being in the know.

[electricwall]

its a lil like rugby lil like nfl and a lil unique of itself.

they used to show it on usa tv.

So first question: what's the ball like? round? oblong? Is it made of leather or pigskin? Do you pass it, throw it, or kick it? How about equipment? Do they wear helmets, knee pads, shin guards, or nothing at all?

[philkiecker]

Well...it appears as though no one knows the answer to this question. I could look it up on wikipedia, but since no one is answering I wonder if the sport is even cool enough for me to spend time doing such a thing.
