AUSTRALIA 29, LIONS 23 !

My two Euros worth? I follow Aussie Rules and Soccer (esp Premier League) religiously, then Rugby Union and Grid Iron less so, and finally Rugby League.
My impressions are that Aussie Rules is a fantastic multi-dimensional game, athletic, fast paced and fanatically patronised. But you can never convince the Brits that, they tend to look at it despairingly and write it off as some sort of Antipodean barbarism..
Soccer is also a fantastic game, with sublime skill levels and magical atmosphere, although it lends itself to stalemate situations and boring passages at times.. And that's not because I follow the Arse..
Rugby Union can be thrilling when teams employ an attacking, running game and it boasts several dimensions and phases of play..
Grid Iron I enjoy also although it can get bogged down in stoppages.. Sorry Ahmad but Rugby League for mine is the worst code, often coming across as a boring slugfest, one dimensional and always seems to be played by meatheads..
Half the problem in Australia is that we have too many professional football codes.. If everyone played say soccer, we'd be up there with the world's best.. Rugby League is in the most parlous state in this country and I wouldn't mind if it went bust so we could strengthen our numbers in the other three codes. And I was born in Sydney.
Aussie Rules is the best of all egg-chasing type sports, without a doubt. Compulsive TV viewing - love it ! :)
Okay, I just realised there was a double HTTP in the address you've given, so I accessed the site of the CANADIAN LEAGUE of Australian Football (still don't understand why it's called AUSSIE RULES... it can be because of "australian rules of the game", or just a pretentious statement!!!!!!).
But in any case, you might want to check out the picture on this page:

There's a WOMAN (first row on the right down corner!) on the Canadian AUSSIE RULES national team!!!!!!! Now what do you think of that? She seems pretty BUILT-UP too!!!!!!!
I think that's Jeff White's kind of woman!!!

I haven't even seen this woman yet, but I'm already thinking you need a red card and a 10 game suspension....

Aussie rules is a skillfull game, the longest of any team sport/football games. They play on the biggest grounds (pitches for my UK friends) about 440m around 120m between goals. Midfield players are know to have run the equvelent of 20 km in a match, and for physicallity, well they don't run headfirst into each other but it is quite physical, just imagine running after the ball at top speed to have someone catapult into you with a hip and shoulder to knock you over. Rugby is a shite game and should be played in prisons by moorons. Soccer is a wonderful sport that does not get the interest in Oz as it should. Can anyone tell me how Alloa Athletic are doing in the Scotish 2 Division this season?

Thanks Old Blue, It is hard to keep track of the waspies here in Oz, but i have been told by some friends that Alloa is close to promotion this season so it will be cool if that happens.

The official Alloa Athletic website address is : www.nevis.cwc.net, currently undergoing an overhaul at the moment but it's worth logging on just to hear the shite midi of "Stand By Me" in the background!!
How annoying are those midis in the background on some sites ? 
Have you seen that Radiohead site that bleeps Paranoid Android at you ?
