If this is going to be as good as Wheelchair Rugby - aka Murder Ball - then I will be watching.

FIVE AFL clubs will this year launch a new wheelchair football league open to those with a physical disability, mobility issues and able-bodied people interested in competing.
Collingwood, Essendon, Hawthorn, Richmond and St Kilda will compete in the league, named the Robert Rose Foundation Victorian Wheelchair Football League (VWFL), with 10 rounds to be played from May to August. The grand final will be played during the AFL’s pre-finals bye.
The statewide league will be the first opportunity for those with a physical disability to play AFL in a regular competition. The league’s mission, in conjunction with Disability Sport and Recreation (DSR), will focus on promoting social inclusion and give more Victorians the opportunity to play sport.
The matches will be played on a basketball court with five players allowed on the court from each team at one time, while matches can also be played featuring three per side as a minimum. There will be no restriction on the number of players allowed on the bench. Matches will feature four 10-minute quarters with no time-on, with a size five synthetic Sherrin to be used as the official ball. Players will be assigned to set positions — forward, centre and defence — during games. There is no kicking in the VWFL, with a handball the equivalent of a kick, and players are permitted to throw the ball using a single-handed underarm pass.........
