Deledio came 3rd in 2009, higher than Gidley last year :wink:

Ling came 6th in 2010

Hodge came 6th last year

Notice the type of player that has won each year? Shorter faster players like Cooper and Slater. The mistake the AFL have made is selecting tall midfielders. Both Hodge and Ling were amongst the bigger heavier contestants in each group, and none of these guys performed well.

I think this contest was brought up in another thread some time ago. What we are talking about is the relative all round athletic abilities of NRL players V AFL players and going from my memory a AFL player has never finished higher than a NRL player in any years competition.

How can that be when only a single individual player is selected? Slater is obviously a decent athlete and rightly won. But suggesting that is an accurate example of RL athletes is laughable. Why dont you put a huge forward in? :-k

rubbish. The contest favours shorter leaner players which is why theyve won each year. Look at the bench press. The amount each player had to lift was calculated on the players weight so the smaller contestants only had to lift far less. Yet when it came to sprinting the field there was no such allowance made for taller heavier players. Therefore smaller players got to use their speed advantage but bigger players were not given an advantage for being stronger

I think it is very unfair of the League people to criticize the AFL participants. We need to understand that the AFL has very little experience in picking "representative" players and it shows.

Most years that I have watched it the AFL participent has been somone 30+ years of age near the end of their career. Both Ling and Hodge are experienced and skillful rather then athletic. At least Deledio is about 25-26 and fairly fast (I think he was known for running a 10.6 second 100 metre or something like that). According to wikipedia Deledio finished behind Slater.
