imagine bball with a lil set of side goals for the unco shooters out there!
I've played gaelic footy and the scores in that are also harder and you don't get freebies. Hence the scoreline is lower also.
And bball has a court which looks about one two hundredth the size of an AFL footy field...yet AFL scores are often much more than bball scores
Look guys lets be fukkin honest. I've played AFL as well as RL and gaelic and union and bball and by far and away the sport which I found the easiest to pickup was marngrook. You have the following:
Loads of space to move and groove.
Loads of space to pass and cut/lead into.
No crossbar to score over or under.
Generally no goalkeeper and with no crossbar to score under it wouldn't matter anyway
You get lil bonus points for missing
The tackling is fairly soft and the players you gotta tackle have generally worked harder on their endurance trotting than they have on strength and power so knocking em over is like shooting fish in a barrel
The ball is slightly heavier and smaller than RU and RL balls making it easier to kick long and straight
There's barely any rules
You can make drop absolute sitters and...its PLAYON!
You get a lil rest at quarter and three quarter time.
And the list goes on and on, hence why the AFL will proudly field a 40 year old this season and two NRL players were able to make the top grade and look not too bad half the time, ahead of thousands of youngsters who'd been playing it all their lives
Look me AFL compardres, I've played the game and tbh I quite enjoyed it. But you just cant go putting it up there in terms of skill required. It's just not that hard ok.
