On Rainy Cold Saturday I went with some of my Fellow Ambassadors to Watch an AFL Game at The Gabba.

Australian Football is not Similar to American or Worldwide Football (in some countries called Soccer).

The game is usually played in an Elliptical Shaped Field and its usually a 150 x 90 Meters Field.

The Game is divided into 4 quarters of 20 Minutes ..

There are two different way of Scoring points:

1- Goals (6 Points):

A goal is scored when the ball is kicked between the Goal posts (the 2 middle post of the Goal posts in each side of the field).

2- Behinds (1 Point)

A Behind is Scored when the ball is kicked between the behind posts (the side posts of the Goal posts on each sides of the field).
