An AFL ball is the football used in the Australian game of football.

The AFL ball is an oval-shaped/egg-shaped ball (much the same as a rugby ball, but slightly smaller and more elongated) that consists of an inner bladder (nowadays made of rubber) inside a casing of four leather panels stitched together, covering it.

When Australian football is played in the day time, they usually use a red ball and when played at night they use a yellow ball.

Although previous forms had already been informally played, in 1858 a guy named Wills made up a similar game and drew up some rules to keep cricketers fit in winter.

Although Victorian at the time, from this AFL was eventually born.

This first game consisted of a ball and two goal posts: the first team (from Scotch College and Melbourne Grammar) won; it lasted three days, as the winner was the first team to score 2 goals and the goals were nearly a mile apart!!!!!

The Western Bulldogs. This is their only premiership to date. They won by 51 against Melbourne.

They are two completely different games.

AFL uses an oval-shaped field, rugby uses a rectangular field.

Ball shapes are similar, but the Australian game has no offside and allows forward passing of the ball, which actually produces a very different game altogether - with some strategies more like basketball, except that both feet and hands are used to pass the ball and gain territory.

Although it is an Australian-based game, it is the most popular sport also in the small island country of Nauru.

Some other countries in America and Africa and Japan have some small local leagues, but it is nowhere near as popular as Rugby or soccer or tennis in these countries. lol. The first match of the AFL Pre season competition The Nab Cup was held over in Dubai in Africa. AFL officials and others are trying to expand the game more. So who knows how popular it'll be in another 5-10 years.

In 2010 there are 14 countries listed on the official AFL website that run national annual AFL competitions. Britain, New Zealand, South Africa, Canada, Denmark, Japan, Germany, USA are amongst these. Annual international competitions including the 'International Cup' regualarly invite over 20 teams.

The Asian Championships (held in Bangkok 2008, Singapore 2009, Shanghai in 2010) invite the champion teams from across Asia to compete. Participating countries in 2010 include (forgive me for missing anyone..) China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Bali, Vietnam (Swans), UAE, Cambodia (Kangaroos), Thailand (Tigers), Singapore (Wombats), Japan (Samurai) and Lao P.D.R. ([Mighty] Elephants).

While AFL remains a developing sport, many of these clubs train regularly and are increasingly seeing a balance of Australian expats and native players.

An AFL field is 200 feet long and 85 feet wide. The end zones add another 8 feet to each end. Arena Football League teams always play indoors.

They aim to win the game and then another game and so on and so forth until eventually they win their division and then their conference championship and finally the Super Bowl.

1906, 1907, 1908, 1914, 1915, 1938, 1945, 1947, 1968, 1970, 1972, 1979, 1981, 1982, 1987, 1995.

There is no standard size for an AFL ground.

The 2011 Laws of the game document states:

The Playing Surface shall be:

(i) oval in shape;

(ii) between 135 metres and 185 metres in length; and

(iii) between 110 metres and 155 metres in width.

Now that Judd has left (grrrrrr...), Darren Glass is captain.

60 percent of the people, in Australia, watch sports on television. The most popular sport watch is soccer. World Cup soccer has the highest ratings of any sports.

they train for about 2 hours everyday apart from sundays.
