What is an AFL ball?

An AFL ball is the football used in the Australian game of football.

The AFL ball is an oval-shaped/egg-shaped ball (much the same as a Rugby ball, but slightly smaller and more elongated) that consists of an inner bladder (nowadays made of rubber) inside a casing of four leather panels stitched together, covering it.

When Australian football is played in the day time, they usually use a red ball and when played at night they use a yellow ball.
