Check these bumps out. You don't see pads and helmets.

Pretty nasty. Definitely the most dangerous team sport.

Rugby is a hard game, but there are more injuries in Aussie rules. Aussie rules moves at a faster pace.

Aussie rules is a statement and a name at the same time.

Football is played on a larger field, has no offsides, so, it's very high scoring. You can pass in any direction, but you have to HANDPASS and not throw the ball. You score by punting goals, rather than touching the ball down.

That sounds a lot better than American Football. I'd love to play that in gym class.

It's more action packed than American football. In American football, you've got the quarter back who THROWS the ball to his receivers and they run the ball over the goal line; in Aussie rules, players PUNT the ball, or handpass, to each other and EVERYBODY gets to use the ball. You can jump off of players backs to catch the ball (we say "marking" rather than "catching") and this is always very exciting.
Check it, yo.
After you mark it, you get time to kick the ball.

Now that looks like a fun sport. Would be almost impossible to find anywhere to play around here I'm sure.

It's easy to play. You can use an American football and rather than throwing it around, you PUNT it around! When I was in the States, people were kind of shocked to see what I was doing with a football.
