So I had an opportunity to go to an Australian Football League game last night! It was really cool because the sport is only played in Australia, the way American football is only played in America. It was like a cross between Rugby and American Football. I had no clue what the rules were, but it's really fun to watch. They kick and throw the ball to their team members and can tackle as well. There are 2 end goals, made of 4 posts (see below right). It's 1 point to score in one of the 2 outer zones, and 6 points to score in the middle. It was a fast paced game and even though there were over 2 hours of play time it flew by. We were rooting for the Brisbane Lions (of Course), but unfortunately they were creamed. They lost by over 60 points. That was a bit disappointing, but I was still happy that I got to go to the game.
