Welcome: can't help with respect to local clubs; bit it is Aussie Rules not AFL.

Spencer.
To be honest, why do want to cross from Soccer to Aussie Rules?
Just my opinion but maybe you're better with Soccer. It's a very popular sport.
The local Wafl Aussie Rules has gone down the toilet with all the crap happening over the past several years. I would not express the terminology violent but the footy is no more violent than other sports I would have thought. There is a bit of biffo and fighting in a lot of other things too. But keep out of the trouble zone and you shouldn't have any problems.

Encourage the guy a bit more folks! Great to see him want to play this great sport.

I'm not sure of local clubs in Byford, but look for clubs that play in D or E grade. It's a great place to start and particularly in E grade most of us don't take it too seriously.

As for violence, in E grade I have never seen any punches or really cheap hits or anything like that. A few push and shoves here and there but nothing serious.

Would be great to have you Spencer in our great game. I would suggest you try Armadale amateur footy club. I know a few good people who play there and I here they are having fun.

What a load of CRAP westaussieguy. Ammo footy is generally played in very good spirit and there would be less then a handful of inccidents in a season.

There are 25 grades most with 10 teams so there is approx 2,250 games plus finals.

Cheers guys thanks for that and thanks for the positive feedback from most of the guys and the other guys who were negative thanks for your feedback to .

I was thinking of Armadale any advice on fitness I'm not a fitness freak but I am generally fit

Piara waters would be a good option, they are only 15 mins from byford and sitting comfortable on top of c3.

Only go to Piara if you're a massive flogger, that way you'll fit in with the rest of em there
