In Alice Springs in 1989, an Englishwoman seeing Australian Rules Football for the first time on television said to me, “There are no rules.”
I said to her “You cannot understand Australia without understanding this game.”
But I couldn’t explain why.
I still can’t.
It’s something to do with freedom.
