EDIT: And to show the AFL isn't above such things themselves... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXLr2_tGSpo?t=1m34s

not even real footy.

Aussie Rules. pfffttt.

Ugh, the footy show. Made by idiots, starring idiots and watched by idiots.
But I can't help but upvote physical violence against Sam Newman.

I have never watched Aussie rules football. I don't even know if there ARE hits.

These are the best "catches" of the year, hence the reason you only see "catches."

Say "catch" around an Aussie, and they will correct you to "mark."

The things I learn on the Sift....

It's all catching... where are the hits???

No girly padding and helmets used here

I'm tired of hearing this argument. For anyone who's ever played Football you'd know it's not for pussies. Also there's enough medical evidence to show that hits in football can seriously damage a brain and destroy someones life. So not exactly pussies...just stupid and reckless.


Now now, no need to get so butthurt cause your sport is boring.

Oh, man, I hurt after watching that.

Sympathetic whiplash!

My ignorance is showing. Somehow I got it in my head that Aussie football was rugby.

But it is soccer that is football, right?

So that is why the hell rugby is there. Stupidity.




>> ^NaMeCaF:

What the hell is "rugby" doing in the list of tags?

We Kiwis never really like to express respect for our Aussie cousins. But secretly? Secretly we keep wishing we could get rid of that thuggy rugby thing and all watch Aussie Rules football all the time.

Coz that shit was sweet.
