I'm an American who has just discovered Australian Rules Football.I would like to know if there is a specific site i could go to that explains the rules of the game in depth.And is there anywhere that has an in-depth history of the game?This is absolutely the coolest sport I have ever seen and I would like to learn as much as possible about it.
Thank You.

It is a great game. The premier competition is the Australian Football League and that has a website at http://www.afl.com.au
There are links to all the club websites from the AFL site.
The other major competitions include the Victorian Football League, the South Australian National Football League and the Western Australian Football league. There are also Leagues in NSW, Tasmania, Queensland and the Northern Territory. Most of those will have their own websites.

I'm an American footy fanatic as well. The Australian Football Association of North America has a good site which includes the Laws of the Game as well as many other helpful tools for new fans. You can find them at www.afana.com
Go Doggies...1954 & 2007!
