Answer 6

Footy is the major thing in Oz. Rugby league and union have lost so much of their following, overtaken by Auskick for the kids up to taking over the sporting public in QLD and NSW.

Too bad footy doesn't get a hold in America. The 99 percent of the USA population that doesn't follow footy don't understand what they are missing.

It Is,however the football is out of season at present. The players are training in preparation for Autumn.

In Australia, when you meet someone for the first time, it is usually "Who do you barrack for ?"  (Root for in America)

Answer 11

AFL is definitely one of the biggest sports in this country - it has the most paid memberships of any of the football codes (over 500,000), has the largest spectator base (close to 7million people went through the gates last year) and has the biggest and most lucrative TV rights package of any sport in Aus ($780m was paid for the TV rights over 5 years).

Answer 12

yeah for sure its as big as the Superbowl, havent you seen a grand final match its electric. Not last years brand final but the past two after that WCE vs Sydney were classics and great for the game in 2005 and 2006. Had WCE were fully fit at the end of the season, boy it could of been another great one with Geelong. I would of tipped a come from behind win like they did in 1992 ;)

Answer 13

For roughly 6 months it's one of the most watch sports in Australia, tipping comps, and friendly disagreements abouts the weekends matches.

Boiling down to that one day in September, The Grand Final.
