Aussie rules,a bit soft?

Question

Why do aussie rules players fight like pansys?

All they do is bump chests,why cant you just fight like men,its no big deal,what happens on the field stays on the field and thats it.

Answer 1

because they get reported and in the end you wouldnt have a team . If there was no rule against it .

Answer 2

In the 80's when ESPN carried Aussie footie, I never missed a game. They stopped carrying it, tho, so I'm unable to opine.

Answer 3

Another rugby league supporter trying to do a bit of stirring.

Aussie rules footballers fight like men?

Just like the rugby league players, eh? They do thing like sticking their fingers up opponents bums while playing.....ha ha ha....a real manly act, I must say!

Spear tackles, stomping, king-hitting......& wasn't one rugby league player rubbed out the other week for biting an oponent?

The behaviour of real men..................................

Answer 4

If you want to watch a fight go to a boxing match.

AFL is pure skill.

Answer 5

You have no idea!

you're probably one of those fairy american football players that has to wear a body full of stupid padding so you don't get a bump!

wimps!!!!!!!!!

Answer 6

Not going to get into verbal comment about if you follow American football or an NRL supporter, I am going to try and answer your queston - AFL is a game of skill, speed and accurracy, and fighting in a sport that is not licensed to fight is purely for wimps - hope this answers your question

Answer 7

The game is definitely a lot softer that it USED to be .... but it's still NOT a pansies game ..

I reckon you wouldn't even last  five minutes into the first quarter.

Aussie Rules was brilliantly tough in the 1980's as a trip to YOUTUBE will show you.

Answer 8

At least our players dont play in helmets and nampy pampy padding and what goes on field does stay on the field.

Answer 9

i agree the afl has made it soft, they should all wear dresses
