Our game is totally different to any other football in the world, it did not evolve from the English (European) football. Yes we do play your style football over here as well but we call that 'soccer'. And just to clarify, I am not talking about rugby or gridion. I'm talking Aussie Rules! Aussie Aussie Aussie oiy oiy oiy.
So why do you call it football? lol

If most of the game your using your hands, its only after a few steps they kick for some strange reason (perhaps you can only hold the ball after so many steps?)
