Australian Rules Football is the most action filled of all the football codes and very entertaining to watch and exhilarating to play. This Grand Final with 100,012 spectators and much of Australia watching on TV, whilst not one of the best ever, had some episodes of great skill and speed of ball movement and many courageous tackles. The sport is no longer confined to Australia with over 40,000 participants outside Australia in many countries - see www.worldfootynews.com
