Australian Football (sometimes called Australian Rules Football)
is the major form of football in sports mad Australia. The fanaticism
associated with the sport is identical to that of American Football. The
Premiership Grand Final (equal to the U.S.'s Superbowl) in Melbourne
is always a 100,000 seat sellout and is always played at theh Melbourne
Cricket Ground (M.C.G.), which was the main stadium of the 1956
Olympic Games.
The current Premiers are the Adelaide Crows; it is their first win in
the history of the competition. Many of the Australian Football Leauge
clubs were formed more than 100 years ago.
