I have an honest announcement to make and I hope our fellow members dont think less of me as a result. Well, all this talk of late about my Aussie Rules career has sparked my interest in playing and I'd like to let our TF members to be the first to know that I've decided to play in 2012! :D Yes I'll be going into pre season training soon for a sydney club and I'm really looking forward to getting out there and playing some good hard footy.
On the other hand though I'd like to make a formal confession about why I play AFL and not League. This is quite hard to say as a proud man but, well, when I was 19 and playing Rugby Union, after playing LEague in high school, in a game against Blayney this mammoth farmer charged straight at me and literally ran over the top of me. I'd always prided myself on being able to take down the biggest of blokes and for some reason, this one moment completely took away my nerve. I never tackled well again in Rugby and stopped playing at the seasons end. It's hard being so open about this so I hope you folks understand.
A few years later I took on the game of AFL. Apart from being naturally gifted at the game because of many years of soccer, basketball and rugby, I really enjoyed the freedom and low contact. In Aussie Rules you will never get a 110kg beast running at you with the intention to literally run over the top of you. So two reasons I play Aussie Rules. 1. Its fun. 2. Its soft compared to RU and RL
So there's some background info for all those who seem bitter boys who seem so confused about me about playing AFL. It was hard telling you guys the truth but I feel better now.
I hope the truth is not a bitter pill for you jealous folks to swallow.Yours Truly,
King
