Why is Soccer Better Than AFL?

The AFL is what it stands for - Australian Football League.

In 2012 it will be made up of 18 teams, playing rounds through winter, then towards September/October, there is a grand final.

It isn't Rugby or gaelic football, it's Australia's rightful own sport.

We don't use padding or helmets, meaning the players do have to be pretty tough.

The rules are more complicated than this, but they are easy to understand once you get used to it.

Here are the teams, just of interest.

-Adelaide Crows

-Brisbane Lions

-Carlton Blues

-Collingwood Magpies (Premiers 2010) (2011 Runners Up)

-Essendon Bombers

-Fremantle Dockers

-Geelong Cats (Premiers 2007, 2009, 2011) (2008 Runners Up)
