Nah, you wanna go with the mighty St Kilda, unbeaten after 8 games. They are the "Arsenal" of AFL. Go Saints!

Arsenal, after all, tend to win league championships. St. Kilda fluked their first and only in 1966 with that Breen wobbly kick.

But I like AFL. Been watching it for a while and love it's simplicity over something like football (sorry, can't get to call it soccer just yet). No offside rule, passive or active, etc. Loads of thundering tackles and a goal every few minutes. What more could you want?

Give me a fast, skillful game of football (the real football) or five days of test cricket (and a very comfortable chair) and I'm a happy man.
Must be a culture thing.
