I find the popularity of AFL seriously baffling. This country, enamoured of manliness and institutionalised thuggery, worships men in hotpants who can barely throw a punch? Think about it. They run around, scramble for a ball, kick it in the right direction if they?re lucky and then, if they get upset, they shove each other like a rabid fan at the front of a queue for Anthony Callea?s autograph.
