Interesting article, but its off with the fairys.

In AFL you can't tackle below the waist. Game over

No, you cant tackle below the knees.

Well there you go, I stand corrected.
We used to play AFL at primary school but we just called it rumble the man with the ball.

Well thats a fairly accurate description

ive played both league and afl and afl is more physical because in league you know the tacklers always in front of you whereas in afl you get the ball and their trying to smash you from the front side and back. you get blindsighted because you have no idea where they are

I have played both games.
I used aussie rules to get for league.
End of Story.
Could play afl Saturday & league on Sunday.
No way couldi do it the other way around.

hahaHave a look at that side. One of those guys gets hit once, they wouldnt be seen for 60 minutes & they'd be thinking twice about coming back the following week.

Only bloke out of that lot that could possibly make it in league would be Akker.

Andrew Mcleod used to play league growing up in Darwin

Michael Voss (past his peak though) has the body shape described in the article

"........Lower centre of gravity also allows for power in the tackle and the leg drive would be something the AFL players would find very uncomfortable, and they would find laying effective tackles an issue............"

Darren Lockyer played AFL growing up in Brisbane but had to take up League when he moved to the country because there was no AFL

This means nothing, but i always thought Lockyer had the ability to be a good AFL player, built for it.. nice kick too.
