That time of the month, eh? Posts: 4,378 Group: Global Moderator Member #45 Joined: 17 October 2005	1. AFL Players have necks 2. They don't resemble a newborn Gazelle when they go to kick (call it "skill") 3. It is a National Competition 4. People actually go to watch it. (call it a "crowd") 5. None wear tight shorts - not since 1978 anyway! 6. AFL doesn't have State of Origin, which is basically a contest to see which State has the best Tongans! 7. The AFL Footy Show is just a drab and pathetic as the NRL's. (Call it a draw) ...and "Go Storm"! :clap:

League players have 50m of sideline to aim at every time they kick it and still seem to inadvertently find the fullback on the fly 9 times out of 10. Brendan Fevola has 8 metres of space to kick the ball in and regularly does it from 60 metres. (cue the usual "at least you don't get a point for missing in league" retort).

I was just taking a leaf out of LT's "generalise everything to the enth degree" book.

Really 'ard stuff that. Pffft. Like in rah rah where two players have the sole responsibility of ensuring that their opposition counterparts can't even have a look at the ball?

You've gotta protect possession, what is your point???
