What a beautiful day for football

Welcome to Aussie Rules Footy also known as AFL.
Teams : Freemantle Dockers versus the visiting team, Richmond Tigers

Now, these men train three times a day so you can imagine
what sort of muscle definition they have.
Not that I minded of course (smile).

Take player,Matthew Pavlich the Docker's captain since 2007,
for example weighs 101 kg. Roughly 230 lbs.
And, as you can see, Footy isn't an easy sport on the body.

Now, the object of the game is to kick (and only kicked) the football into the goal post. Each side has four goal posts (sorry only three pictured here). If the ball is kicked inbetween the middle two is worth six points where the outside two are only one point.

All smiles since the Freemantle Dockers managed to get the most goals.

Now, a major difference between Footy and other sports is how fighting is left to its own devices. Notice that the yellow shirted refs, are only observing?
Little is done about bantering between teams.

The atmosphere of the footy arena consists of the an college American football arena's student section. Except, the entire arena is at the spirit and noise level of student section.
Let's get rooooowdy!

Cheers, from a footy lovin' gal
