As I recall, it was one of the first sporting events repetitively shown late at night on "that new all sports station" ESPN when it first started.

For those of you unfamiliar, check out this promo film:

YouTube - Aussie Rules Football Promo

Notice all the pads? Brutal!

You only really see an official once in the film - look for the guy with the hat under the goal post (at about the 39 second point) who comes out and points his fingers for a score. As memory serves me, the official used to be in a trench coat.

I add this for your viewing pleasure. My favorite was #4.....should we take a poll?
