Your game is has a major flaw to its rules and that is that it has no line or square or limit to how high one can kick.Lets say some wally of a freak is able to kick the ball sky high he would virtually be scoring a goal every time he gets the ball.Most sports have a line to cross or a net behind the square post and when the player or the ball passes that line it is a goal or a try like in rugby,but your game has no such limit.Further more most sports use round objects to play there game with this way a even polaying field is created and full skill is utilised.Australian rules is a looser it will never expand beyond its borders and australian kids of the future will see that to be part of the global village you have to play global sports.What if Michael Jordan or Tiger Woods,Magic Johnson or David Beckam played YOUR GAME would the record books be like,but 5they chose global sports competing against the worlds best.You aussies
dont like competing against the worlds best because you always loose,at the olympics you did not win anything that really counts in the real world,your men where bounced out in basketball,you are lousy in waterpolo,handball and volleyball,you did not win a game in the football,sure 5 gold medals in the pool but black men dont swim because there is no money in it and sure you are world champs in cricket and rugby league oh ye and netball too but heck where is the competition.
Football as the world knows it is played with a round ball its governed by the FEDERATION OF INTERNACIONAL FOOTBALL ASSOCIATIONS with over 200 member countries at all are welcome to come and compete against the worlds best if your chicken play your own game with your own rules and declare yourselves the worldsbest.
