Generally better under pressure. If I have too much time to think then I have too much time to doubt myself.

Pressure > time, always. Time leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering. Time is the path to the dark side of procrastination.

The reason for this is the ball is contested unless a clear mark has been taken. A bit harder to kick and catch when there's 18 players who are able to interfere with the kick and the catch. And once the ball is on the ground, it's fair game for anyone. Essentially AFL is a slightly more civilised version of kill the dill with the pill. The claim that it requires no skill at all is straight up trolling however.

Rubbish. You don't even have to complete the catch, you just need to control the ball for a few milliseconds and they give you the mark.

Then you can walk back a dozen steps and kick uncontested. Most of the Wally's that play AFL still can't even get that right. Most of the best Forwards in AFL are lucky to kick at 70%.

With a straight up drop punt that figure is garbage.

Um, no. An elevated place kick (off a mound of sand or a kicking tee) is much easier to guide accurately than a drop punt. You're eliminating one variable by holding the ball still in place.

Might need to give your taste buds a belting at the same time as your metabolism!

Make that two punches you owe me then. I'll be at the Parra v Dragons game (ANZ?) but you said you won't be so I'm safe. :crazy:

On a serious note- It's been many years since I've had Chicko's so I'd have to re-asses.
