What does it take to make it to the top level of Marngrook footy?

[ParraEelsNRL]

Fumbles bumbles and stumbles, about half a bottle of Jack Daniels will make me a super star.

[King-Eliagh]

I agree half a bottle of jack and you could kinda take a ruck rover position and not look too outta place there parra. A major part of the ruck rovers role is to bumble the ball forward anyway they can after, as swines puts it, a ''basketball tip off" happens

Wow, aliir aliir playing his first game of senior AFL footy today. Aliir first picked up a sherrin when he was 14. A few years later and he was already playing in the neafl.



Even more proof that any athlete could play marngrook at the top level in Australia with minimal to no marngrook experience necessary!

Its just not that hard to make it to the top of that sport, admit it guys.

Ok I'll concede a little you do have to have good fitness and some athletic talent. Apart from that tho you're pretty much a shoe in!

Am I right or am I right!

Usain bolt'd go close to a brownlow with two years of kickin a sherrin under his belt

He'd get pounded to Timbuktu in club rugby league tho

You are an idiot!

No I'm not. I'm simply pointing out the facts it is primarily important to have some athleticism rather than code specific training to make it in the top echelons of marngrook footy. And there's ample evidence isn't there just unfortunately I can't think of another code which is as easy to swap or slip into without much more code specific training years under ur belt. I mean khunt izzy pike Kennelly this American engineering college student at Collingwood the list goes on and fucking on and you dumb pricks can't deny it !! :_<> :_<>

yep its so easy to slip in to & play, thats why the NRLOL finest, given every opportunity to succeed but failed so pathetically

then they pop back over to rugby, to the union this time & are now starring & IZZY is breaking records!
what does that say about the comparison about AFL anf the bumsniffing!
skills for rugby! hit the roids, get a decent sized body, learn to throw and catch a rubber ball over 5 meters, put it under your arm & learn to run like a ******

Well yes we can your an idiot!

[AFLcrap1]

So you deflect instead of arguing against the fact that other sportsman just walk into top level fumbleball without having a background in it .

Good work .
Keep deflecting

That's crap - both Hunt and Folau both trained for years before they supposably "walked in", Mike Pike was rookie listed and again was on the list for 2 years before walking into the seniors - Mason Cox again on the list since 2013, Kennely, Toohey etc etc etc - Haynes does one summer camp and is straight into the NFL, Bennett, Rocker, Ottens all the same, RU players bearly have a weekend to a customise to RL. The whole argument is BS and your just as stupid as he is!

Yet the nrlol players failed!
Like a bunch of utter *********

[AFLcrap1]

Nope . **** the highest paid . Played at the highest level .
Lauded by coaches & media .
That's not failing. .

Given all the opportunity to succeed! But struggled make the team in wooden spoon winning sides!
Those seasoned nrlol players were shown up by kids!
Pretty funny isn't is spazza! Fact is fact now to make your argument more pathetic they are starring in union

[AFLcrap1]

Not our fault izzy took the money & run .

No one is blaming him for taking the money or hunt!
It's the fact they were to unco and ******, couldn't compete with a bunch of kids!

[Swans4ever]

This is a stupid thread their all professional athletes- it's not like they adjust in their spare time after work - it is their job - plenty examples everywhere between most codes - all have to train hard to be successful - recently Heatherly (not sure if I spelt his name correct) quit AFL after being on a rookie list at Hawthorne to join the Storm. Now if he plays 1st grade - the same people criticising AFL about being easy to play will be lauding his choice. KE is stupid for suggesting it!

[King-Eliagh]

. Now if he plays 1st grade

And here lies the crux of swines' argument "if"

Unfortunately swines we got proof with umpteen examples of folk making AFL first grade. You got an 'if' for rl
