Default Want To Learn All About Aussie Rules?

Just saw an add for a show on TV in the UK next week (Bravo, Tues - 10pm). Can't remember the proper name it's something like Men' Room - Sky box is havng an eppy this morning but I'll check it out later and post the correct name.

It looks like some kind of Louis Threoux type show where this guy goes all over the place trying out new things and Tuesday's episode is Aussie Rules.

cheers

It's called Men's Work, features several Aussie jobs including Opal Miner, Firefighter and Aussie Rules footballer. The guy doing it used to be on a program called Sin Cities.

I've been here over 5 months and still haven't figured them out yet.. I asked my Aussie mates at work and they weren't that sure about the exact rules and they were born and bred here..So there's not much hope for us newbies..

No way. It's the most ridiculous game in the world. If a ball was meant to be picked up, it would have a handle on it!
