Aussie rules gets on my goat


Seriously, how is this a sport? For those that are uninitiated, Aussie Rules is a game where you go from one end to the other with the aim of kicking the ball between not 2, but 4 posts. That’s right, if you miss the main posts you can still get a point for getting in the general vicinity. Ridiculous. Now I respect that some people have different tastes (especially if they’re from Melbourne) but this is CANBERRA and there is no AFL team here. This is a rugby league town and the people need to realise it. Head down the pub to see the traditional NRL ANZAC match of the year and there’s a mob of Collingwood and Essendon diehards singing the team song and yelling out something about Pies. Hello! Melbourne is 1000miles to the south, their retarded game has no place here, get out , get out I just want to watch a real game where the hits are hard and the blood is real….
