AFL: rules are there are no rules
Peter FitzSimons (a former national representative rugby union player)
FOR no good reason other than I've been thinking about it for months, let's hear it for Aussie rules. After a decade or so of bagging it, and another decade of feeling luke-warm at best, I have finally come to the conclusion that its beauty lies in the fact that it really is the most quintessentially Australian game of all.
1.Despite the name, there don't really seem to be any rules to speak of. At least not very complex ones whereby the only person that truly understands them is the umpire. As a people we've never been too big on rules, and this game isn't either.
2.Most other sports, and particularly union and league, have an obsession with whether a player, or the ball, did or did not go beyond the boundary line. Not Aussie rules. Even in grand finals no one seems to give a stuff as they scamper right along the line. "Close enough is good enough." Keep going!
3.Every other football code has an offside rule. Not Aussie rules. You're an Australian mate. Go where you damn well please!
4. As far as the scoring system goes, every other football code says you either did score, or you didn't. Not Aussie rules, the true sport of "Have a go!" If you get the ball between the two big posts, beauty, take six points. But if you just miss, no worries. You had a go, and you had a bloody good go, so take a point anyway!
