ITS RUGBY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Folkes said the most prominent difference between match days in an AFL box to those in a rugby league box stemmed from the alternative priorities of coaching staff, and the size of the arena"
a direct quote off of the official AFL website
so pretty much its RUGBY!

Oh FFS! Have you even ever played AFL? Probably god damn not since your not australian. I think i would know if there different fucking sports since ive played both of them.
AFL: You cant throw it, Cant belt the absoulte fuck out of each other. Your allowed to kick/ handpass it forward, you have to kick your goals not just run onto a patch of ground,you dont lift each other up off the ground, the only way you can get on someones back to mark it is to jump not lift with your hands, Fuck I can hardly be bothered argueing someone whos knows fuck all what there talking about.
