Footie on MHz Worldview

Richmond vs Melbourne.

All footie is great. Love my weekly fix here in rural MI. Thx MHz and WGVU.

On edit: Footie is Australia Rules Football which has been played in Oz for more than a century. It is way cooler than US football and much higher scoring than what US or the rest of the world calls football.

Aussies just call it Footie, which makes it unique. The sport itself makes it exciting.

That the action on the field is sufficiently exciting that the fans don't relieve the boredom by beating the snot out of each other.
