Aussie Rules footy is by far the best game in the world. It confuses people of all other nationalities, and that only adds to it’s lustre. I know my North American friends are getting comfortable with their NFL season by now, so I will try my best to ruin it. Here are my reasons why AFL is better than NFL:
>> Anonymous
- Non stop action! Why does NFL football stop every 20 seconds? And they spend half the playing time waiting around deciding what they are going to do next. This means a 60 minute game takes 3 hours to play with 20 minutes of actual game time. That’s just not economical. AFL games are 4 x 20 minute periods (which we call “quarters”, clever name) where when play stops, so does to clock. Oh, and to add to the excitement, the playing time left in the game is never shown.
>> Anonymous
- A cast of thousands! NFL teams have a bench that could easily double as a small town. With 15 men on the field (I think, correct me if I’m wrong), there seems to be upwards of 30 on the sidelines. In AFL, we have 18 men on the field, and only 4 on the bench. If those four get injured, then bad luck you’ll just have to make do.
>> Anonymous
- That’s not in my job description! It seems every player in a NFL game has one job to do, and they do nothing else. Specialising in a particular skill works I guess, but they really don’t have all around talent do they? What? This guy can run AND catch? Put him in the hall of fame! It’s kind of a necessity in AFL that each player can do everything, otherwise they will get left behind, and this includes being able to kick and handball with both sides of the body. Each player plays offence and defence at some stage in the game.
>> Anonymous
- This is your captain speaking! How much reliance can there be on one position in a game? How many games can you win with a shitty quarterback? I understand it’s no good throwing a 45-yard pass unless someone is good enough to catch it, but it seems that teams have to be over reliant on the quarter back position. In AFL, the grounds are just too big to rely on one player, you need the entire team firing to get up on the day. Speaking of which…
>> Anonymous
- Goal to Goal! 100 yards? You call that a football field? That has got to be the smallest field of play for any code of football. 100 yards is roughly 90 mentres, which is nearly half the length of an AFL ground (which are nearly that wide as well).

No.

A bunch of guys running around, passing a ball back and forth over and over and over only to kick it way downfield and out of bounds when the other teams gets close to the goal is not interesting.

Wait, that sounds WAY FUCKING FAMILIAR

No. Tell that to teams with lackluster quaterbacks. Eli Manning was a terrible quaterback until the playoffs. How'd they get there? Brilliant defense and position players on offense.

Another one of these threads?

OK, let me just make it simple: We don't care about your sports just like you don't care about ours, and we like it that way. We don't know anything about your sports just like you don't know shit about ours, but we don't care, because we're not entertaining you, but ourselves.

The Superbowl is our unofficial national holiday, not yours.

That's not the point of this thread. I'm not complaining about people constantly making threads about Ronaldo, soccer, rugby, whatever they want to talk about, that's fine. It's just that there's always the samefags posting everyday comparing our sport to theirs and why they think it's better. Sure we troll each others sports, that's always going to happen, but this shit like what the OP is talking about is just posted all the time and just gets really gay.

Amerifag here to temporarily interrupt this troll for some debunking. In the 1990's, the AFL package that was shown on various regional all-sports cable channels in the US (this was after it was dropped by ESPN) did an excellent job of explaining the game both in feature pieces as well as during the play-by-play. Any American who stuck around after the original stop for curiosity could have easily picked up the rules even before AOL put every faggot in the country on the Internet. Of course, I could never discuss the AFL on as deep a level as the NFL because I did not grow up with it and there are many nuances of any sport that take years and constant exposure to absorb. But, to make a blanket statement that Aussie Rules confuses other nationalities is just plain wrong (troll or not). I for one am bummed that the AFL can now only be seen clearly in the US on pay-per-view. But, then again, I guess I'm not the typical Amerifag who, for example, would travel to France and eat at McDonald's. Aussie Rules IS chaotic, but it's fun as hell to watch, not hard to understand once you are told a few of the rules, and over 9000 time more athletic than watching some baseball player scratch his nuts for three hours.

This thread may now resume its regularly scheduled trolling and shitstorming.

I don't hate NFL but it's so slow and I'm kinda ADD. They'll just rush it for two yards, everyone goes in for a big hug and then wait a minute to get back in position. They hype the shit of every game so everyone gets caught up in it. This year's superbowl was boring as fuck besides the last drive. AFL is more free flowing and awesome.

In other news, today, President George W. Bush declared war on Australia. When asked at a press conference why, the President replied that he was confused by an Australian Rules football game that he saw on television and concluded that it must be evil and, thus, needed to be eradicated. As of this moment, American warships are steaming towards the coast of the island continent while the Australians are reported to be arming themselves with giant cans of Foster's and defending their shores by covering the beaches with Vegemite. We'll have more on this story as it develops. But next, after this commercial break, we'll have more on the new Indiana Jones movie...great film or greatest film? Stay tuned to find out whether our resident faggot movie critic has to say! But first, these words from the United States Marines...join up and kill an Aussie today!

I thought Foster's was appropriate because I've heard enough Ausfags say they don't drink it...so, better to use it as ammo. One of those big-ass cans would hurt like a motherfucker if it dropped on your toe much less hit you in the face at high speed.

i think it has something to do with the fact that in the states, beer drinking is far more about quantity than quality. hence, the more watered down, the better. there are plenty of good american brews, but the majority of them are regional

while on the subject of beer in the usa, a point of notice for all our australian friends - our light beers are not your light beers. i say this not in the "wink wink" sense, i say this in the literal sense - the meaning is totally different. light beer in the usa has the same amount of alcohol as a regular beer, just with fewer calories. oh, and it usually tastes even more like water mixed with piss than 'regular' american beer does (more water, less piss, same hangover). i've had a couple friends from oceania, and they've all been tripped up by this fact when they first got to the country. to bring this back to /sp/ - if you're ever in an american sports bar throwing back a handful of 'light' beers because you plan on driving home... look out.
