I remember more than 20 years ago when cable TV was new here in E Tx, the sports channels often showed Australian Rules Football in the off seasons. As far as I could tell, there was only one rule:"Play Ball!"
"Concussion? Broken leg? Teeth knocked out? Blood a-gushing onto the ground? On your feet, you delicate li'l flower, and PLAY BALL!" Those guys must have been seriously tough, unlike our *current* "can't play with my hangnail" overpaid pro thugs here in the USA. Sounds a lot more like the USA Pro football players of the 1950's & '60's.
To all Aussie Rules Football players everywhere: Salute!

It's too rough.
Hey Aussie Rules rocks and its great game with plenty of skill. Go the Crows
I absolutely love to watch Australian Rules football- it's been quite a few years though. IIRC it was developed as a less-violent alternative to rugby.
Yeah, those guys were tough indeed; they never let up.
And the guys in the pith helmets...!
