Aussie rules must have been the product of sunstroke and 6 cases of beer.
I mean, come on!
There is no skill involved - All you have to do to be considered a good player is not die.
Edit: Go the Blues!

So, you're saying: Even if you 'invent' the worst game ever - it's better than nothing at all?
I tend to disagree.
AFL is an indegenous game the white man picked up and changed.
Its been played in South Africa since 1898.

We call it aerial ping pong ,or hit and giggle here.
The only real skill is their ability to kick the ball long distances,some of these players can boot a ball 60 metres plus,
We dont see that happening in our rugby.

I don't have any idea how jukskei works... I believe you throw something from sandpit to sandpit.

Look, I was kidding when I meant the guys have no skills. I've seen some of the kicks they produce and it's pretty impressive.
The game just seems to lack the structure I look for in any sport.
