Aussie Rules Football in 2009

February 6, 2009 by aussierulesfooty

Welcome to this new aussie rules football blog.

This is start of a new journey online to share my love of this sport and hopefully help those wanting to know more about this sport from overseas. There is also the intention to show some tourists a game in person as their guide at a live game during the season.

The season runs from late March to the Grand Final on last Saturday in September.

In February and most of March is the build up to the season proper and teams start playing practice games as our summer season is coming to an end.

This is my first blog and just to say hi. The team I support in AFL is Carlton and I will not make any attempts to suppress my bias for my team in this blog (that is part of fun) but the main purpose of this blog will be about adding awareness of aussie rules football in general as a sport. It is my way of spreading the word of my favourite sport in our global village online. The game was invented in the parks of Melbourne in the 1850’s and has been going for as long as some of the more well known codes of football in other continents around the world

As the season starts soon contests are starting up online for followers of game and you can freely join and may win prizes if you are astue fantasy coach :-)

Fantasy leagues start at same time as real season of AFL.

By the way, AFL stands for Australian Football League.

For now goto superfooty.com.au and create your own fantasy team and it will help get you more involved in following our unique australian football if you are from overseas.

Take care and look forward to sharing more and competing in the fantasy leagues as the season unfolds.
