No, I work in Canningvale. I go for the Dockers when they aren't playing the Eagles.
For Hitcher: AFL = Aust. Football League (Aussie Rules)

Yes - ha ha - AFL - you know it's an acronym for the awstrayliyan football league.
If you can get past the kiwi perception of 'shorts' you'll find it's an simplistically attractive game of 'kick the shit out of a football' on a really, really big paddock played by athletes with some of the best physiques in the sporting world.

The code also features the best and worst commentators in sport. After 5 years in unzud some of them sound absolutely diabolical - WA's Dennis Commetti I rate as the best behind a microphone I've heard - any sport.

Ahhh. That game invented by Australians so they could be world champions at something...

And atchally - it was invented by the Irish - it is basically Gaelic football played with an egg and different goal posts.

There is an Aus V Ireland series of composite rules every few years.
