Who needs NFL when I have AFL.......
My husband took me to see his favorite AFL (Australian Football League) football game. Carlton Blues vs Brisbane Lions. Now I've never been one to want to watch American football, too tedious to watch and not enough action. Well, I may have been converted, as I would love to go back and see another game. First, this is action packed, the field is huge and the concept is to score a goal. The guys all have fine bodies, and they are wearing their shirts and shorts, no heavy padding to be seen anywhere, the whole team runs after this ball. I saw something last night that just amazed me and that was a Carlton player taking a mark. See attached photo. A player sees the ball coming so he runs and jumps on the opponents shoulder to grab the ball. Like I said this ain't no NFL, no where would you see any NFL players jumping anywhere. I am in total awe. Final score - Carlton winning 154 to 63.....now that's an ass kicking!
