What is it about Aussie Rules you like the most?

Question

Is the spectacular marks, the pace of the game, the long shots at goal, the after siren kick for goal, the winning feeling once your team wins...etc.....?

Answer 1

All of it Kev :)

even when we don't win I can still enjoy it!

And I don't mind a few good scraps too :)))

Come on the Crows :)))))))))))))))

Answer 2

It's more like what I miss the most about Aussie Rules. No more short tight shorts. All these baggy shorts are not very good for the viewing public like me. Also it's just kids playing the game now, not many real men left to perv on.

We hardly ever see spectacular marks now. Yeah, a few each week but it's all chip back and across and hardly any man on man stuff. When they show the stats it's nearly all uncontested possessions. Nah, I hardly get excited anymore. No punch-ups, I miss that part of the game.

I like sneaking some grog into the ground, having arguments with rival fans and then to the pub afterwards. If my team wins we celebrate if we lose we rubbish S***e out of the umpires and the grotty rival mob of fans.

Answer 3

Getting together with family and friends,especially when North play Collingwood, Essendon or Richmond.

By the end of the game our voices are so hoarse,you would think it was the Grand Final!!! lol

Answer 4

The grand final and a close game with a beer

Answer 5

When I was playing football it was all about the camaraderie - for me anyway.

Hardly any friendships match the mates made while playing Aussie Rules footy.

End of season trips; weekly cabarets; end of season award functions; club picnics; club rivalry; supporter rivalry;  ...........but most of all - camaraderie.

Big marks and the big hits

Answer 10

COLLINGWOOD

Answer 11

There is a full house, teams run out , do there warm ups, siren sounds, captains toss, all players move to position ....umpire holds the Ball aloft...another siren and the crowd roars and goes ape droppings .      The atmosphere and anticipation of whats to come ....I have always  felt that buzz , for as long as I can recall, and especially when I was coaching . Might be an odd answer, but I have to say the "First Bounce" ...I love it , any game anywhere, back of Bourke to the G

Answer 12

I love everything about the greatest game in the world

The only downside is stupid umpires that just don't understand the rules and make stupid decisions  that could cost a team a game

Answer 13

DEFINTLY seeing matty pavlich kick his money shots- awesome! freo supporters are always left alone once they mention these brilliant shots.

also love watchin player run into umps lol!

also i would have to agree that the lack of uncontested possesions SUCK! its more tactic now than playing the game as it should be played.

but still, who doesnt love it?

i can hardly complain.

Answer 14

The skill, athleticism, the letdown after the build up, the elation after winning, everything about it, stories, gossip, hero's and villains, comebacks and wilting teams, the media frenzy of big issues the media beat up of small issues, the sacking of coaches, the sad retirement of champions, the change over of boardrooms, scandals, champion teams and wooden spooners and those in between, the women on Brownlow night, crying on grand final day, the future on draft day and the anticipation of the following year after your club has come no where near the finals, everything!

Answer 15

The meat pies and the colours of the teams
