The best code is Australian footy. It is not called AFL as this is simply the top league of Australian football.
Rugby Union is a great game, but not football & thugby league cannot be called footy as it is not a football code, but a handball code. Perhaps it should be called "handy". In fact the ball is superfluous in that game.
Soccer also great, but not the best game in the world which is our national game: the game the Diggers played, so if you are a true blue Aussie, then you love footy. The real footy which is our own!

Agreed, but in NSW/QLD the game is promoted as AFL at all levels. The AFL decided that was the best way to promote the game here and in QLD.beachlover wrote:The best code is Australian footy. It is not called AFL as this is simply the top league of Australian football.

Do you think the Western Force in the Super 14 will affect support for the Dockers and Eagles in WA? Last I heard they had already signed up over 20,000 new members before even playing a game.

You bet.
Love most sports. So does my 5 year old son, but he will play either soccer (Roberto Carlos type as he is a lefty) or footy (his favourites are Pav & Belly). No rugby for him. He has nice ears & a neck.
After Australia I reckon Wales is the team to support in rugby as they are fantastic people & have a top attitude.
Any tips?
