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.

They are different balls mate, the League ball is much bugger so easier to kick straight.

I've played both games and I kicked for my team in league, its much easier to kick a league ball straighter.

You can't deny that the AFL players have good athleticism and fitness. They're also skilled in one sense. I, just enjoy league more and find it a much better sport. Just don't care for AFL much.

I described Nathan Lyon on another forum I post on, full of people from WA/SA/Vic, as the sort of guy you could see standing outside a chicken shop, wearing trackies and smoking darts.

The response from some was "What the hell is a chicken shop"

We dont realise how good we have it on the east coast.

Well you'd think that, but then you go look at posts on the main board/the fight club :crazy:

If you dont like a sport then just dont watch it. It's pretty simple

Others opinions are not my own. Which is why it's an opinion. I don't really like soccer either- but I respect their skill and agility. I absolutely love the NFL- many hate it.

On another note, had the weirdest dream last night and for some reason, it's still doing my head in.

I can tolerate it.

If Carlton are playing in the grand final ill watch it.

I just love giving shit to the afl fans at work. But they also give me shit about league.

Probably the best description of Nathan Lyon ever.

Looking forward to Twiz's and MU's Armageddon. Clearly, that's all that will clear up the NRL thread.

No, piss off. Can't have a beer until this time tomorrow, it's been a long drought :/

No worries. Wine then?

The only wine I know is $3 for 2 litres and has me throwing up by 10 o'clock, so no thanks.

Much, much easier to kick an AFL ball. It's built for it a bit more, Steeden is built more for passing. Sherrin is even easier than a Gilbert to kick
