Well in that case I think today you have some disappointment on the United front to temper your Crows excitement. |

I hate how people see a sport they don't like and then claim "it takes no skill". If it didn't require skill, why don't you just walk up and net yourself a million dollar contract? |

Any sport that re-starts the game with a guy chucking the ball over his head backwards will never gain my respect.
In comparison to other sports, namely football - it takes a lot less skill. Maybe why you can't convince anyone else in the world to play it. |

I'm not going to get into the inane soccer vs afl vs rugby argument, just suffice to say that to make the elite grade in a sport - any sport - requires a lot of skill as well as strength, power, endurance, mental toughness etc etc etc. |

Maybe he should have made adjustments after his last trip to the tribunal, just 2 short weeks ago. |

Title: Re: Go Crows! Post by metal_j on May 14th, 2012 at 5:11pm
Their is a lot of gray in the AFL rule unfortunately...The "pussy cat" that was tackled got concussion, meaning head injury...meaning suspension. :)

He did the same thing when playing for Norwood last yr and got games so maybe he should have learnt then. But that doesn't change the fact it was only a pussy cat and he only wanted to know if there was room to swing one. |

funy... When I take americans to the game they are shocked that it is played for so long without stoppages and no body armour. Many americans think the game is incredible skilled and its top players very very impressive. but of course you dont like it. Its AUSTRALIAN and from what we can tell, you despise anything australian and drool over everything american and british. |
