Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

If you want the atmosphere, the North Melbourne v. Carlton one would probably be best (both Melbourne teams)

And Suntory_Times - it is a more national game than any other football code. 1 game per state per weekend minimum.
I would highly recommend the Saints V Port game at Etihad Stadium, if only due to the stadium. Especially if it is a wet night, as it is a fully roofed stadium.
It's one of the 10 biggest stadiums in the world, so if you're a tourist, do check it out.
And I guess it's technically not the national game, only Vic/Tas/Sa/Wa/Nt, which is most of the country.
Not so much forgetting QLD as repressing all memory of its existence (shudder)
And there's nothing wrong with Canberra once you've hit it with a giant Apple Corer
But seriously, anyone visiting Australia for the first time as mentioned you could do a lot worse than watch a game of Aussie Rules footy.
It really is the national sport. Victoria is just its home state.
The MCG is probably the best stadium to watch anything at though. I'll be going to the Liverpool match (yes, that's soccer football) on the Wednesday after PAX at that very stadium. I can not wait.

I guess you could call it the national sport in the fact that it's only played in Australia. (*grin* - sorry :P )
I was intrigued to hear that Soccer actually holds the highest rate of participation in Australia - mainly due to all the footsal competitions and so forth I imagine.
I'm going to the Melbourne Victory v Liverpool game as well, should be good
(But then I think you're rithmaster on twitter and I already knew this :P )
That's correct :P
