Sigh so i have a particular someone who thinks australian rules football requires greater skill then football(soccer), the reason being a oval ball is harder to kick then a football/soccerball.

All bias aside which game requires more skill Australian rules or Football and why? Also what is the most skillfull sport in the world in your opinion.

I guarantee you I could teach someone the basic rules and techniques of Soccer in a shorter amount of time that it would take me to teach them the basic rules and techniques of Aussie Rules.
Just because understanding the basic rules and techniques is easier ( I agre with you there) it doesn't follow that it's easier to execute those techniques.

The big variable in football is using pretty much exclusively feet to control the ball, which isn't anywhere as natural as using hands.
