No mate, the main league are not national teams, are mainly from a state called Victoria and a few others from NSW, Queensland, South Australia and West Australia.
There are no state teams.
Australian rules is mainly played by bogans from Victoria, or bogans who have moved from Victoria due to famine to more prosperous states.
It is followed by bogans and their girlfriends and mothers, and those hoping to be famous and also by rich people, and media people, and people of interest to the police because of the dodgy nature whereby they became rich.

I am feeling quite fragile at present and being counselled by a nice young lady I met last night at a Green Party get together that I was invited to two streets down from garpalmansion.
Nonetheless in spite of holding my breath and meditating for four or five minutes I cannot change my opinion of AFL.
It is a confluence of athleticism, greed, narcissism and crime.
Now I must be back to meditation, and this young lady whose philosophy of life though quite different from mine seems strangely attractive.

every person able to read & analyse realises that the game known as rugby league is only in existance in its current form as a 'national sport' thru the constant funding of media moguls. if they were to pull their funding today the NRL would instantly fold and the game die the death it needs to do.
its a garbage game for knuckle dragging folk.

Sorry Tradesurfer - GG's attempts to fly the Rugby League flag (and here I was thinking it had been stolen...or at least being used to wipe up Nat Myles mess) has somewhat hidden your question.
The 16 Teams in the AFL are the 16 teams in the National Competition. Each State and Territory has its own competition under it.
One of the reasons the AFL has it over Rugby League, Soccer and Rugby Union is the very reason it is often criticised and belittled - the National AFL competition is the pinnacle of the sport. Kids grow up dreaming about being the ruckman for Collingwood, or full forward for Essendon. As such the 250,000 people that attend AFL matches each round are seeing the best playing the best. And the AFL brand it as such. Unlike the NRL that have the best playing the best in 3 times each year.

So compared to our NFL (national football league), it sounds like the AFL national is the equivilant to our 30 team NFL league. If say each of the 50 us states also had leagues, we would have say the NFL and then the California league if I'm getting the responses correctly.
Since I'm on this forum figured I'd ask the question as you all would know being mostly from Australia. When I went on line, there were quite a bit of teams/clubs listed but as I'm understanding it, those clubs are from each of the states as well.
So who are the NY Yankees of AFL?? or the manchester united for the football(soccer in us) fans?
Brisbane Lions.
