I really enjoy the round ball sport known as "football".

What do you follow and why ?

AFL - LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!


Sydney Swans supporter through and through. I am not a sporty type person at all and the only other sport i would even consider watching is soccer . AFL is the absolute best spectator sport ever - can't wait to take baby #1 to their first Swans match this season

Hi,

I'm a real sports nut, and will happily watch just about anything - with a couple of exceptions. I won't watch golf as my mind gets flooded with all sorts of tempting other things I could be doing, like washing the floors and ironing the curtains. I won't watch motorsports either, as I don't really class them as a sport, and I find it really tedious to sit through a game of soccer.

I think what sports you like depends on what you were brought up with, and more particularly the speed of the sport you grew up with. I think that's why most people that grew up with AFL, and to a lesser degree Rugby League, don't like soccer. In comparison, it's just painfully slow to most of us. And golf, well it doesn't even seem to move at all to me.

I really love the very fast sports - AFL and Ice Hockey. Close behind are those that are next down the line for speed, being Rugby League (although in comparison to AFL and Ice Hockey it's a bit one-dimensional - still good to watch though if there's nothing faster on), One Day cricket, etc... The exception would be basketball, which is fast but so repetitive to me that I end up washing the dishes instead.

I guess I'm just a speed freak - and a mad, one-eyed Geelong supporter!

Also a fan of the Bushrangers and the Melbourne Storm

AFL, because I'm a Victorian and it's in my blood.

Go Doggies.

Aussie born family so AFL.

I do remember soccer being a much less brutal game to play as a kid though (days before Auskick here) so I can appreciate that mums of young children might prefer it - this all seems to go on what the daddies are more likely to get involved in with their kids.

AFL all the way in this house - Go Cats.

I have been a member of the Geelong Footy Club and been going for 20 years, my DH plays footy and footy is always on the TV on the weekend.

I have recently played in an indoor soccer comp and have come around to the game but still AFL is our number one sport
