is AFL the only football code in the world , where the dimensions of the playing fields vary ? bit like Cricket I guess

Just discovered today the "AFL International Cup" is on, and NZ is in the Grand Final.
Anybody been following it? Even aware of it?it gets a bit of a mention on sports radio in melb ,
From what i can gather ( correct me if im wrong ) nz have been the most successful team in these tournaments

Yeah, to my understanding NZ & Papua New Guinea are the 2 top-tier sides.

This has nothing to do with anything,
But what we are talking about kinda reminded me ,
I once had a conversation with the late great Jim Stynes ( Irish Gaelic footballer converted afl great ruckman )
When he found out I was a kiwi that followed rugby he was pretty interested, played a bit of lock growing up in Ireland. Told me as a junior he toured nz in a Gaelic football team and played against a nz junior Gaelic football team that had zin Zan Brooke in it .
His knowledge of the abs was really good , really surprised me . -

I've got this fucking flu so fell asleep with swannies winning handily. Heck of a game eh? Must have been wetter than it looked judging by the number of fumbles
Was a good game Nick. Enjoyed it ... but not the result
Everything, fucking EVERYTHING, fell for the Swans in the first qtr. Crows couldn't catch a fucking cold.
Thought at 4 goals down we're screwed. Got out to 5 ...
To come back and lead was awesome.
But jeez we missed some chances to put you bastards away. Hit the post at least twice. Tex missed a sitter. 2 or 3 other chances just missed
But no use whinging ...
Great goal by Buddy

Tickets to the Geelong v Richmond final at the g went on sale this morning and sold out in an hour .

@kiwiinmelb We made the error of leading the ladies get the tickets. We needed 8 although my mate can get 5 as a member tomorrow. I checked a flurry of facebook group messages that went like:
'I've got some, which category should we get?'
'Get category 5'
'ok I will let those go'
'oh no, I can't get 8 anymore'
'Hey I can, is this area ok?'
'oh wait no its gone now'
'where should we sit?, I have no idea which seats to select!'
'oh, I can't get 8 seats now, so stressful'
'I can get 6!, hangon I'll let them go and see if I can get 8 again'
'huh can't get any now..weird!'At this point I completely lost my shit, jumped straight on and grabbed 3 single tickets and a pair, figure I can offload onto viagogo if people are too hung up about sitting alone.
Lesson learned.
