Mate, a tackle in AFL is a lot, lot different to a Rugby League tackle. They couldn't evade/break a rugby league tackle. I doubt they'd even be able to take am NRL stlye tackle altogether.
not as different as you'd like to think, league tackles are mostly all from front on, you see the tackler and you brace for it, AFLs different in that area as you know, obviously the power/skill level of the "league tackle is higher, but you cant say that those boys i mentioned wouldnt be able to handle it, alfie langer was around the same size/build as ablett, he could certainly handle it couldnt he?, ablett/judd are good at avoiding/breaking tackles because they have great footwork and incredible strengh through the hips/shoulders and great balance, just like the elite league players have, as for the kicking thing, lol, these players can basiclly kick the ball 50 mtrs + and make the ball bounce any way they wish, left or right, either of those boys would be the best kick the NRL has seen, on either foot.
