I just scored two platinum tickets to an AFL game and an associated function. I know nothing about AFL – aka ‘kill the dill with the pill’ as my brother affectionately calls it – but think it will be fun, so I’m going with a friend who also knows very little about the game. Our plan is to cheer every time ‘our’ team gets the ball. That should work, don’t you think?
If you know the rules, let me know…

Instead, why not cheer whenever someone cops it in the head?
AFL is real footy.

That doesn’t sound very sportsman like, John. 😦 I thought AFL was classy football. Sigh.

Not a thing – what does AFL stand for? I’m assuming “Australian Football League”?

Definately something my boys would want to attend (and their mother). Blessings…

Even most of the players don’t know the rules!

The AFL keeps changing the rules, too.
It adds to the excitement.

Rules? What rules?

The best way to get to know the rules is get there early and look for a member of the public who looks like they know what is going on. Sit next to them and get them to speak to you throughout the game, explaining the rules.

I did’t used to know the rules at all and then I got to understand them more and more by watching the game. There are so many great rules that makes the game flow and keeps it very exciting. I hope you enjoy it.
