here's just a sample of the apparently not tough afl players
damn. Why not wear helmets?
Aussie Rules is like American Football but without the touchdowns, just the goal kicks, lol.

Righto.....firstly l am an Aussie Rules addict here in Oz. Those guys are some of the best athletes around. They leave Rugby players for dead in the athletic department. Rugby players are bulky and large for the most part and generally run in straight lines. AFL players are slim, muscular and athletic and run all over the ground in all directions.

One of those sports where you need to learn how the game is played and the rules and then you can start to appreciate the spectacle that is the great game of AFL. I played in my younger years, but l was soft and wouldn't put my head or body on the line to win the hard ball and l hated getting cleaned up. Nowadays, they ate trying to implement more rules to protect the head due to so many concussion issues for past and present players. Also, it's a game where knee injuries such as ACL's and MCL's happen very regularly.

Go watch a game of AFL in full and then tell me they are not tough!

I've watched the game my whole life and if you're not prepared to put your body on the line you got no chance in hell of making it as a professional AFL player.

Tackling is a huge part of the game. Just can't tackle above the shoulders or below the waist.

Anyway, the Jazz don't need tacklers. They need athletes and Bobi Klintman is a 6'10" Swiss army knife athlete with a 7'0" wingspan. Cut you to pieces in a variety of different ways. Moves well off the ball, can shoot the 3 and is near 80% from the line. Great size and can handle the ball and has been playing against grown men over here in the NBL. Good help defender and reads the play well. Watched him a few times live and very impressed with his game.

haven't seen him live. Saw Sarr a few times and if he has gone #2 then this draft really is **** He was .. ok Then again i didn't think too much of Giddey in terms of the high end NBA level
Just realized, it’s basically Basketball combined with Rugby.
You bounce the rugby ball as you run.
Hahaha.. who ever thought of that I wonder.
