    Favorite Sport

    The sport I enjoy the most is AFL football. We basically grow up playing it here in Australia - a bit of a national sport, you could say. I also really enjoy cricket, tennis and internationally I like watching Major League baseball - but if we are talking a specific first place it has to be...

    Anyone play tennis?

    I used to play a lot in my teens and early 20's. Sadly then a full time job and adult life got in the way and I play rarely at most these days. I do still love to watch it when I can, though - I guess I live vicariously through the players now. I roughly keep track of the rankings and I've been...

    Tennis Grand Slams

    Have you ever been to a major tennis grand slam tournament? I am lucky enough to live close to Melbourne, where the Australian Open is held each January, so I've attended that a couple of times. It's a fun atmosphere and an awesome opportunity to get to see some of the greats of the game play...

    Good Age to Play Soccer?

    We played soccer and even Australian Football young here - about 4 or 5 from memory, just as we were starting kindergarten or 1st grade. I think it's great for a number of reasons. It helps kids burn off energy, it teaches them about team sports and how to be both a gracious winner and humble...

    AFL (Australian Football)

    I'm wondering if anyone here supports or follows Australian Football. It's different than rugby, but I have found that travelling across the world that quite a few people do follow it, even if they've never been to Australia. The team I've supported since I was a kid are the Essendon Bombers -...

    Hi All

    Hi Everyone, I'm Ryan and I live in Australia. My favourite sports to follow are AFL (Australian Football League), MLB Baseball and soccer. I play quite a few sports myself and just like being active really. Nothing better than getting together with a few mates to play sport or watch sport...
