Although previous forms had already been informally played, in 1858 a guy named Wills made up a similar game and drew up some rules to keep cricketers fit in winter.
Although Victorian at the time, from this AFL was eventually born.
This first game consisted of a ball and two goal posts: the first team (from Scotch College and Melbourne Grammar) won; it lasted three days, as the winner was the first team to score 2 goals and the goals were nearly a mile apart!!!!!
Cricketers Made it to keep fit in winter. They also made a mini comp in their home town. This is why traditionally AFL is played on a cricket field.
