I Love Aussie Rules Football

It's The Sport I Grew Up With... my earliest memories involve aussie rules. listening to it on the radio with dad as a very young kid and then later going to games with him. at primary school playing it for the first time. backyard sessions with dad practising to kick, mark and handball. the thrill of going to the mcg for the first time. the sights, sounds, smell and the sheer size of the place. the roar of the crowd for a goal. the pace. skill and physical effort. even now, as i am in my 11th year of playing it competitively, the adrenaline rush i feel running onto the ground is like nothing else.
