Tom Cruise, according to the Herald Sun is the latest Hollywood star to find an appreciation for the Australian variety of football.

Cruise, currently in Melbourne, attended the Collingwood-Essendon clash at the MCG.

Following a bit of an American theme - visiting players from the Dallas Cowboys NFL side attended the thriller between Geelong and St Kilda, having a kick on television at Etihad Stadium in Geelong jumpers.

Both matches were played to a high standard in front of bumper crowds.

Meanwhile before a smaller crowd, the Demons did it for Irishman Jim Stynes (who WFN reported earlier is currently battling cancer), posting a spirited win against the West Coast Eagles at the MCG.
