Answer 5

No, no, it could not possibly be Australian Rules Football could it... Mmmm...? Must be that old game of 'What the Dickens..! Conviction". Played first in the Aulde English Courts when teams were matched according to size. On the one side were mainly political prisoners from Ireland and Highland Scotland. On the other side were Redcoated players sponsored by a multinational  called George. The prisoners were given splendid iron balls that they swung with alacrity, or with chains if they wished. The Georgian sides were limited to slow firing flintlock muskets and rusty swords.

Play usually commenced on the aforementioned courts with

the series being played through the Assizes of all different sizes,  then onto the merry jigs at Highgate, with the losing players left in suspension while consolation prizewinners were given free holidays along the Thames with the overall competition ladder champions being awarded all expenses paid voyages to the arid, wonder wasteland of Orstahlia.

The game has been refined over the years, but rules remain much the same, having been adapted for play in your parliaments and stocks exchanges, boardrooms and bureaucracies.

Well done, chappies....!

Answer 6

I would say AFL because it's only played (at a decent) level in Aust.!

Answer 7

Sitting in front of the telly with a cold beer, watching others kick a ball around - that's true Aussie sport.

Answer 8

I agree with Daffy BUT if you had asked that question 50 to 60 years ago it would have been TWO-UP or more commonly known as SWY.

Answer 9

Maybe Rugby?  

Just a guess tho

Answer 10

freestyle koala punting.

Answer 11

There's only one answer - AFL.  Rugby codes are pathetic.  Cricket is just something to (barely) stave off boredom over the summer months.

Answer 12

Statistically australian rules is the national game it is also the only country in the world where the game is played professionally, there are leagues in new zealand japan several european including the uk, the usa and canada also have leauges, but typically the majority of players are aussie ex pats. Soccer is the fastest growing junior sport, but is a long way from numerically rivaling aussie rules, Rugby leauge is largely restricted to nsw and a smaller following in qld, union however is the reverse, as a national following for the entire country you cant go past cricket, but afl still has numerical superiority and is uniquely australian.

Answer 14

We have an "australian Rules" football game, similar to gaelic football, but it depends on which state you're asking the question, I think the battle is between that and rugby, and possibly Soccer!, in summer, it's either Tennis, or Cricket.

Answer 15

Australian Rules is the most popular sport

But as a National game it would be Cricket

Answer 16
