would never play this AFL thing in my life... even if you dont die on the pitch those concussions will catch up to you later in life

Imagine you sent all your convicts to one Island. Then imagine years later they invented a sport.

Imagine it, because implying it could happen in reality (as if lol), that would be racist.

meh. i got NRL > AFL all day

Really shocked how AFL is loved in other countries. Honestly thought hardly anyone knew about it lol.

Behind hurling?

Stop scouting/stealing Irish players! Jim Stynes would have been some midfielder!

Wow, you really need to figure out when people are actually upset. Whoosh.

I hate to admit it....but I actually laughed out loud at that.

instead he became one of the greatest AFL players ever, and a true champion bloke. rip

Im absolutely captivated by aussie rules whenever it is on, which is almost never and usually at like 4 am coming dowm from a bender.

Good page for all the times when AFL games are on.

Sucks that a lot of them are on FS+, but definitely will try catch a few of the games on FS2 this weekend.

Haha!

OAFK ramping up his pösting quality this WC.

So how do you watch AFL internationally?

afl is def an objectively sick sport:
- 360degreeness (lol nfl/rugby)
- full contact (lol soccer/bball)
- great balance between wim/skills in terms of importance
- extremely hatable and cowardly refs
- not yet corrupted by flashy and selfish negroes (joke!)

lol you told you these?

nicnat was born in sydney and grew up in perth, and idk where nahas was born but he's been in australia at least since he was like 6yo (when he started playing jr footy). edwards moved to aus when he was 2yo. folau was born in aus

karmichael hunt is kind of a weird one, kiwis barely count as foreign. i'm talking about ACTUAL foreigners, not just nonwhites

either way you are confirmed a massive racist bro

Nahas born in lebonon moved here in his early teens. 100%.


lol, Nicnat has actually had dinner @ my place, and now I see his bio, he wasn't telling the truth lel.

not even racist tho.

where'd you hear the nahas thing?

Well seeming his first school he went to in Aus was a year 7-12 college, and played U13's for oakleigh one can assume early teens?

i've been told that robin played u8s for the oakleigh dragons as a 6yo by people from oakleigh. i'm inclined to believe that anecdote if you've just inferred from publicly available info

doesn't seem to be any info on when he moved to aus tho, only that he was born in lebanon. either way, i don't think he really counts as foreign. guy has an australian accent and 100% of his afl experience was in australia. kind of like daw

lol yahoo answers i know but

If you ask Google "where was nahas born" it comes back with;
I know his wiki says he was born in Lebanon but that appears to be wrong, there's no citation on the wiki either

yeah i only checked wiki. google goat

The pads thing is probably not the best way to go given recent information about how absurdly damaging American football can be to your body and mind.

yeah guys i know who've played gridiron say the pads make it worse. not least because you think you're invincible with them on when you're clearly not

Love Rugby Union or as my folks call it, "Rugby"; unsurprisingly so, too, since it is the only real Rugby.
AFL is entertaining, the refs crack me up. Don't get the game but that's due to me knowing squat about the rules.
I absolutely do not get how people can enjoy Rugby League when they know Union. Let's wriggle and reset play as soon as someone makes contact. How can that be even remotely entertaining?

Ya I'm a MUCH bigger fan of Rugby Union too

Rugby League is frustrating to watch comparatively but I still will

pretty sure union is generally considered the more boring code among most rugby fans
