I also thought aussie rules - that would kick ass.
I remember back in like '96 when I was an intern with nothing to do and "surfing" around the early web pages, I tried to find some aussie rules stuff for sale. I had been watching it on espn2 late at night and really liked it. I ended up writing the league a letter trying to get them to send me a catalog to order from and the league sent me a big adelaide rugby style shirt free o' charge. Very cool.
Of course, I am a pretty short guy and they send me a XXXL.
