Hawthorn Hawks (reigning premiers, vic) 3
Fremantle Dockers (wa) 4
Richmond Tigers (vic) 5
Gold Coast Suns (qld) 6
Geelong Cats (vic) 7

Western Bulldogs (vic) 13
Melbourne Demons 14
Brisbane Lions (qld) 15
St Kilda Saints (vic) 16
Essendon Bombers (vic) 17
Greater Western Sydney Giants (nsw) 18

OK, chime in when you can on some of the rules and what the main objects of the game are.

And where on American cable can we watch some Australian football?

The game is played on an oval-shaped field with scoring posts at each end. There are four scoring posts (the two middle ones are taller than the outside ones) and a score is recorded when the ball is kicked between two of the posts. One point is scored when the ball goes between one of the outside posts and a middle post. This is known as a behind. A goal (worth six points) is scored when the ball goes between the two middle posts.The game is played on an oval-shaped field with scoring posts at each end.

line betting 5 leg multi, tiny bets until we see some form

so as you can see, both Port Adelaide and Adelaide have to win by just over a goal and the rest have a head start, for example Western Bulldogs +18.5 means that Western Bulldogs can either win by any amount, draw or they can lose by up to 18 points. Every leg must be successful to collect on the bet
 
Richmond def Carlton by 27 points, that's 14 points too many for my bet so I placed another (online) $40 multi Fremantle vs Port Adelaide +11.5 , Melbourne +19.5 vs Gold Coast, Western Bulldogs +19.5 vs West Coast and Adelaide +7.5 vs North Melbourne, for a near $300 collect if successful. Bet sizes will increase exponentially once we start to see some form pattern.

We moved to the Mornington Peninsula from Texas when I was 15, I was big headed yankee that wanted to show you guys how to play football, Ha Ha ha. Why is this play lasting more then 15 seconds??? Blow the whistle already! huff, huff, huff.......such a pussy...
 
Adelaide won by 25 points, 11 shy for mine, and Sydney gave up a 40 odd points 3/4 time lead to win by just 21 points, 8.5 points less than I needed. The other legs won. Have a bet on Fremantle to win by more than 25.5 points @ $2.03, they lead by 66 points at half time.
