I think its Carton [Somthings] vs Richmond Tigers.
Think they are both in the same state.
AFL can be impressive. (I think 150 meter pitch. At least a 50*(translate below) meter line from the Scoring Zone to the Goal Posts.
I meuseured 25 meters*, and tried to kick a goal. It limped into the scoring zone. The fact that tellented people can run for 100+ meters and STILL kick the ball 50 meters is physically impressive.
But seeing 20 people PER TEAM running around for a ball just looses my interest.
150m = 492 ft
50m = 164 ft
25m = 82 ft
Any Americans out there sober enough to correct c/drunk thoughts, you're probably right
(I told myself 'I will be home by 10pm. 10:30 the latest. It's now 11:15. Oops)

100%, no more drinks. I'm halfway through my "food" (does fried count as food?) Then I'm done for today

Oh wow. One of the teams caught the ball.
That deserves an instant replay....

But.....(cover thoughts peaking out for a moment) Even though AFL (Australian Football League) is just "40 people roughing it out on who knows what rules", it out for 40 minutes to 1 Hour. It entertains 200+ staff/students daily (weekly?/monthly?)
And that is JUST in my workflow.
This "dumb game" entertains more people than it bores.
Just trying to say, im selfish.

I want to say that I'm in AUS, but I know even less than you in AFL.
I also tried to kick a 50m goal, and for half that at best...(if it means anything, its 10:39pm in the NT, so you are only 9 minutes late) :thumbsup:
