Pat, Does Australian Football use yards or meters?

Ben Graham used to be the captain of the Geelong team who played in the Australian Football League. Graham is the first ever Australian to play in the Super Bowl. Australian football is quite unique and it is nothing like the football played in the USA. See http://www.livenews.com.au/Articles/2009/01/29/Cardinals_coach_praises_Ben_Graham_on_Super_Bowl_eve for details, and I suspect that many Geelong Cat's supporters will be watching their first ever Super Bowl this year.
