It's Saturday night and I'm with Jason watching an Aussie Rules Football game on Teev. Wow. For those who don't live in the WideBrownLand, look, I gotta tell you, you don't know what you're missing if you've never seen a game of Aussie Rules. Those blokes are so-o-o FIT! It's a total game, Australian Rules. It starts with the most aerodynamic ball, ovate like rugby balls but much faster and more directable when kicked by experts. If there is one skill more than any other I really am in awe of, it's that of reading the bounce of a running ball . . . but there are many skills in the game: running dodging leaping marking feinting tackling falling bumping punching (the ball may not be thrown but may be punched away, some footballers can punch it over two full-sized bungalows!) Aussie Rules footballers must be alpha-males, and they must be fit athletes in every way.
There's not a game in the world to touch it. I love it.
