WARNING: In this site, an effort has been made to insult every one of Australia's football clubs. If you would prefer football be devoid of such commentary and instead be characterised by happy smiling faces, then perhaps a church sing-along or Moony convention may be a more appropriate way to spend your time.

| The Australian Football League (AFL) defines Australian football as "Australia's only indigenous game." In truth, Australia has many indigenous games including touch rugby, indoor cricket, and surf life saving. Like Australian football, the sports came about as a result of changing the rules of existing sports. | AFL clubs have a unique history that define how they are known by the market. Clubs such as Collingwood are the club of choice for those missing their front teeth. Essendon is the club of choice for the conservative middle-class. Richmond are for those who need psychological counselling to keep their emotions under control. |
Most countries around the world have one major football code. In Australia, a unique migrant history combined with the tyranny of existence to allow four codes to develop. Now that all the codes are competing in one market, it is inevitable that some rationalisation will occur.

Like AFL clubs, each rugby league club has a unique image in the market place. The Bulldogs appeal to fans who feel it's their civic duty to keep police in employment. Manly appeals to those who believe the way to success should be with a checkbook. |
