AFL players are top notch when it comes to fitness, just like rugby, league and soccer/football. Thing about the NFL is that it has never been adevertised as an endurance sport at all, anyone who knows about the sport know its about being explosiveness. Which is exactly why you get the heavily muscled guys that are fast in the 40, and the speed guys that are just below olympic sprinter times in 100m-200m, because the sport allows them to be.
did you say "pussy...american stuff"? Dude, you are way overhyped from this commercial. Sure, it even made me, who's never seen this sport before somewhat interested, but the day one of these guys cracks a Gridiron player like that, a professional American, like one of the Dallas Cowboys as in this commercial, is the day our sport would die. Laughable, is what this is to ANY American who sees it.
Extremely necessary. You have no clue. It's way harder, at higher velocities. No joke.
Anyone can knock another down if you knee him in the head or elbow him in the chin. But getting bones broken, paralyzed for life even with the pads on says a lot about the caliber of the sport. True they have stoppages, but they run way faster. AFL players are in the NFL, but we only let them kick or they'd get really hurt, pads and all.
So I'm supposed to take lessons on being "hard" from a guy whose name is Starwarsjediknights... THAT SAYS IT ALL! I doubt that even YOU are taking yourself seriously with all that BS :p
We all know the guys in the pads are a different beast than these Aussie rules guys. Your boys are bread for a game where they have to keep going without as much stoppage. Can you imagine the hits made if they went full bore? They do not. NFL would scout them if they did.
@raisin212k yea but dude if u look at previouse games afl players have pretty much had their heads pushed pretty much back to their spines so if u think NRL if a more dangerous sport then you are just an idiot
@Xbox3604 who"s talking about NRL? Im talking about NFL. Men get paralyzed for life at that sport.... pads and all. without them there would certainly be lots of death on the field. we want them to compete, not die...
I doubt an AFL player could push over a NFL players it just doesn't seem likely that would never happen unless the NFL player didn't see it coming or he got pushed from behind..
@Dimitri0809 I don't know about that. If in practice, or some sort of drill, maybe not most NFL players. But many NFL players arent conditioned to run for as long without rest like they are in the AFL. So there's the other side of it.
The comments are even better. All the rugby fans making comments. I love rugby as much as the next guy but the game has no athletic agility.
AFL is about movement, tatic. Rugby is about brute force. If you were implying the same rules on AFL then the average AFL player would be just a brute as the average rugby plater.
It is supposed to show that AFL is better than every other sport. AFL is NOT the best sport in the world. Now i'm not saying soccer is but c-mon, footy, best sport in the world. BAHAHA Don't make me throw up. A Rugby player will wreck any footy player any day of the week.
lol i dont even watch afl, but i like this add, iv never been an afl fan but i watched the lions vs WC game on the weekedn and fuk it was allright, think i might start watching it properly lol
I love how it finishes with the best player in the game. And I love how it contrasts the football and soccer crowds. The soccer crowd is singing as usual coz it's so bored, the footy crowd is going off it's nut! Well done to the AFL.
What song?
