Not say so. Know so. There would be half the weight training done by players in AFL compared to NRL.

As for dropping the ball. Tell me a football code which has more drop balls than AFL?
I guarantee you won't find one.

Also AFL has the most relaxed boundary rules of every oval ball code. Another true fact.

NFL and the rugby codes have a higher requirement for brute strength because of the nature of the game. Big deal, what they gain in strength and size they lose in mobility.

The rugby codes allow you to retain possession of the ball if you are caught in possession of the ball. AFL doesnt allow that. That makes the AFL more difficult to move the ball forward while running.

As far as boundary lines go, other codes allow you to jump over the boundary line and return a ball into play as long as you dont step over the line. In the AFL you cant do that if the ball has crossed the line. It isnt easier or harder, it's different

Mate is way harder if you can't put your foot on the boundary line. It means it is harder to stay in touch when you have opposing players running at you.
In AFL you can put your foot on the line and keep running. Which makes things way easier.

As for mobility, if AFL players are so mobile. Why do they drop the ball so much?
And fall over so much?

Why are they given extra side goals and no crossbars?

If AFL players were so agile, none of these things that make the game very easy would be required.

I disagree. When you know you cant step on the line you dont, it's clear cut. Keeping the ball from crossing the line at any point is very challenging. Soccer uses the same rules. The player can cross the goal or side line without issue. But once the ball crosses either its a goal or out of play. AFL is the same

can you explain what mobility has got to do with ball handling? That's a pretty stupid connection. Fall over so much? What the hell are you on about?

Its a higher scoring game with easier scoring, hence the fact it's higher scoring. If it was easier scoring but the scores were as low as RL you'd have a point. A higher scoring game has advantages

If AFL players were so agile, none of these things that make the game very easy would be required.

Your logic is absurd. The same rules apply for both sides. Yes the rules permit easier scoring and more free flowing play, but the same rules apply for your opponent. The aim is to score more than your opponent, so the fat it's easier to score doesnt change the side that plays better, scores more efficiently, doesnt fall over, hits targets, defends well etc will win the game.

There are plenty of high scoring games. It doesnt change the fact that the more skilled players and teams rise to the top and become successful.

round and kicked along the ground.
Of course they have easier boundary lines.

AFL is the only footy code that uses the hands all the time and has the easy boundary rule.

Gridiron strict boundary line.

Rugby Union strict boundary line.
Rugby League strict boundary line.

So this is simply done to make it easier for the players in AFL due to very poor skills

Bigger goals than soccer
Bigger goals than union
Bigger goals than league
Bigger goals than gridiron

AFL is also the only football code that lets you drop the ball as much as you like and is the only code that gives you a free kick at goal just for catching the ball.


No sport in the world is as piss easy as AFL.

This is why it is the only one nation football code. No other country respects a game that has such stupid shite rules

it has similar rules where the ball crossing the line is the difference, not the player. It's neither harder or easier, it's different. I've played basketball where you can leap out of bounds and retrieve a ball. In AFL this would be out of bounds. In AFL you cant take a mark when the ball has crossed the line. This happens a lot and it's penalised.

lol you forgot to add in an oval shaped ground, and 18 players, and and and. There arenth that many football codes, and each has a unique aspect. Big deal

Gridiron strict boundary line.

and....

Rugby Union strict boundary line.
Rugby League strict boundary line.

basically the same sport with a few rule changes

So this is simply done to make it easier for the players in AFL due to very poor skills

which makes it a higher scoring game. Using your logic baseball is a harder sport than cricket because it's harder to score and easier to be dismissed. That's pretty stupid logic

AFL is also the only football code in the world with no crossbars and extra side goals.

Infact AFL has the largest goals of any football code in the world.

Bigger goals than soccer
Bigger goals than union
Bigger goals than league
Bigger goals than gridiron

it has unique rules which promote higher scoring and faster ball movement. It doesnt make the game easier because you have an opponent, and if your opponent is better at the game than your side you lose.

It's hilarious you cant grasp this

I grasped it perfectly with all true facts which embarassed yourself and your game.
