HUGE congrats to my fellas (Brisbane Lions) on making it through to the pre-season cup final. Here I was thinking being overseas again this year was going to fine knowing the the Lions were going to go through another "rebuilding" year, but it looks like the young kids have got the goods and it could be a good year! Guess I'll have to love off torrents each week yet again...!

About
The AFL is the number one football code in Australia and easily one of the most popular spectator and recreational sports in the country. In 2005 the AFL Premiership Season had a total regular season attendance of 6,283,788, and the average attendance of 35,703 was the third highest of any professional sports league in the world.
AFL is played between two teams of 18 players on cricket ovals, or similar-sized oval shaped arenas. The game is distinguished from other kinds of football (Rugby, Soccer etc) by the fast, relatively free movement of the ball (partly due to the absence of an offside rule) and the awarding of a free kick for any clean catch — known as a mark — of a ball which has been kicked more than 15 metres.
The game can only be truly appreciated LIVE, in the flesh. So much is going on in the field at any one time that it's practically impossible to faithfully capture the excitement and action on TV.
