ESPN returns to roots, get Aussie Rules Football again

After Scholastic Sports America.

 

And Home Run Derby!

 

IIRC, Tom "Father of Mark" Harmon did the late Saturday night reruns of UCLA football.

But give me my Essendon Bombers! Now, can someone bring back Bruce Dool of Carlton and Leigh "Barney Rubble" Matthews of Hawthorn? And I've always wanted to hit a Halloween party as one of the goal judges and point at everyone all night.

I remember having parties during the Grand Final. Good, good times.

 

That's epic.
One day in September...

 

I like Aussie football. I hope they show the weekly highlight show, which is really all one needs.

 

Awesome!



GO MAGPIES!

 

Yes, it is..

And so are these guys:

 

I believe when ESPN showed it the first time, the official name of the circuit was the Victorian Football League.

 

Yeah! Loved watching Aussie back in the day.

I didn't understand it and still don't but don't care. Good stuff.

 

Not to be a killjoy, but if I read that release correctly, the only game guaranteed to be on TV is the Grand Final. The rest is on ESPN 360, which my shitty cable provider (rhymes with Schwime Schwarner) doesn't allow. Boo-urns.

 

How about adding some other sports? Like sepak takraw:



Or kabaddi:

 

Because most of the teams were located in and around Melbourne, it was, even though you had the aforementioned Sydney Swans.

Then, they put teams in Brisbane and Perth and the VFL had to become the AFL.
