What is Australian Football?

What's the difference between australian football and American football?

  • Answer:

    Aussie rules is more continuous, in American football they stop the game every ten seconds or so whenever there's a tackle on a certain yard line, and then you have to wait for 1-2 minutes for the next play to begin. I find it quite boring actually. Aussie rules is much more fast-paced there is no stopping the game when there is a tackle, no timeouts, no nothing. The game is only stopped when a player needs to be carried off on a stretcher, or when the ball goes out of play. Because of the faster pace and less stop-start, goal scoring is a lot more frequent in Aussie Rules, like every four or five minutes. Oh, and there's the safety gear American footballers wear. Our Aussie boys don't wear helmets and tights, no padding, most of them don't even wear shinguards, just mouthguards. And our boys play in the rain, hail or shine. It's fun to see them sliding around in the mud when you can't tell who's who cause they're all covered in brown sludge!

The guy above me is right, but AFL isn't as tough as Rugby. I grew up playing both and Rugby is far tougher than AFL
