Nothing quite compares to the thrill of hearing the first siren signal the start of a new AFL season.
It’s the game that has captured the hearts of a nation and become entrenched in Australian culture.
The sport gives Australians an opportunity to unite through the infectious passion of barracking for the same team or going up against your best mates. Every devoted supporter contends that their team is the one to beat, and Aussies are divided when posed the questions: Who’s the best player? Who’s the next rising star? And ultimately, who will take home the premiership cup in 2024?
While it’s impossible to guess which two teams will be the last standing this year, Deakin’s Dr. Chris Hickey, Professor of Health and Physical Education is certain that no matter the result, Melbournians will be out in force enjoying the atmosphere (and the Public Holiday!)
So as the big day approaches, why not put your footy skills to the ultimate test?
Tackle our quiz (pun intended) and see how much you really know about the Australian Football League.
