Years ago I had a deal with an Aussie co-worker. We would go out for beers, and over many beers he would try and explain Aussie Rules to me while I would try and explain American football to him.
Messy but fun evening and I still don't understand Aussie Rules. /csb

It's Gaelic Football with an oval pitch and an oval ball. Gaelic Football is Hurling with a bouncy ball and without the sticks. HTH.

Should be called Aussie No-rules. You can do pretty much anything. Dismal excuse for a sport for guys who think Carlton Draught is good beer.

We used to watch Aussie rules but only with an Aussie to translate, it’s a good game to watch. I can’t retain the rules though

American Football.
Firstly, football? they rarely kick anything.
Second, you score a touchdown, but you don't actually need to touch it down.
It is very confusing to an outsider.
