Talking Footy

Dearest Members,

I write to you this morn with grave concerns about what i see as prevalent amongst the males of southern australia. The females from down there arent too shabby but there is substantial evidence now which makes it clear that the non-indigenous anglo males who are atleast 3rd generation southern australian and have been born and bred in this region are for want of better words...physically lesser and quite possibly lazier and less self-determined individuals.

The AFL, an acronym for a football league and humorously also what they call their favoured sport is the field in which i base my evidence of these lesser...for want of a better expression... southern whiteboys . You see over the past few decades their sport has become ever so slightly, and no i dont use that word lightly, exposed to northern populations of male through things such as:

Laughing at the code on youtube
Laughing at Aussie expats playing in a park
Laughing at the skinnyness of the AFL lads
Laughing at the short shorts and skimpy singlets the AFL lads wear
Laughing at the apparent lack of rules and messyness of the code.

Yep it happens but lets be fair, a few people from overseas have taken up the code of AFL and...well... unfortunately it is now becoming clear, and this is without need to talk about the rexona challenge that almost any ol athlete can just waltz into the code and play at the top level at the expense of and better than many a southern young male who has practised and played the sport all his life. Seriously folks, the list of people who have waltzed into the code with comparably very little training is becoming endless and we must now say that its either the food, the culture or quite possibly now the DNA of southern Australia's whiteboys that is making them lesser physical specimens than equivalent sportsmen who have grown up anywhere in the world north of the riverina.

So less discuss. Is it just their physical prowess and acumen that is lacking? Is it now a kind of wonky chromosome they have that may have resulted from thweir fathers and forefathers wearing shorts that are far too tight? Their DNA? Or is it they're a lazy bunch who arent putting in the hard yards in the gym and on the track?

Personally i think its complex and prob a mix of all of these things.

As a sport .very little skill s required .
Can you kick straight ....ahhh don't worry nether can the others
Can you catch a ball .naaaaa ..don't worry ..no penalty for being a butter fingered unco .
Are you white?....NO...start worrying.

Lol that makes the failed attempts of hunt and folau even more pathetic
NRLOLs finest struggled at AFL!

Only showing the difference between the two codes! AFL take skill & NRLOL just unco!

What of those from sydney, qld and western australia and northern territory ? Lol

this ridiculous claim is often made by RL fans, and it shows their lack of grey matter

Many of the skills in RL are also required in aussie rules, such as tackling, evading, passing, catching, kicking, running etc...

If Aussie Rules lacked in these skills then anyone could do it. Yet only the best 360 players from a population of 24 million are selected to play in the AFL, so these are the best at these skills that the country has. Its relative, not absolute

You just have to look at the size of AFL goals compared to every other football code and any thought of skill goes out the window.

This is why AFL has so many more points scored in a game compared to Union, League, Gridiron and Soccer.

Well I think the opening post answers this question very succinctly dear freddy.

But it's important you raise wa. It's one if those states Which may just provide an exeption to the rule. Due to its isolation It may just be the case that all of the males from there have The dna impediments I have evidenced. Thanks for asking

Yes, yes a fine assessment indeed there nrl. The goals are simpler to score in and they get a point for missing which over generations of the southern Australian men has gradually reduced them in their sporting determination and skill level. This combined with what the tight shorts would have been doing to the testosterone and reproductive organs of the fathers of southern Australian males is a recipe for a lesser breed so to speak.

I mean let's take goal kicking for example. An nrl player must kick the ball off a tee from the sideline at a very acute angle and approx 40-45 metres from goal. Their % from this angle is well above fifty percent. Well above. From a mark The AFL southern aus male gets to kick it out of his hands which is something even five year olds find much easier. And they do this at a larger goal with no cross bar. Now from the same acute angle and distance one of our more accurate southern aus born and bred AFL players will get the ball through the gigantic middle posts with no cross bar at a rate of about 45%. And I'm being awfully generous there folks. That the absolute Tops!

The evidence is so...so so so....so so so so so. So so very clear and overwhelming. Irish part time amateur Gaelic footy players/bakers outclass the southern aus males when they come down. American basketball era/engineer students make the cut at the highest level of the game.

There's something awfully wrong with the genetics and sporting abilities/determination of the southern aus lads. It's difficult to admit it but there's a serious deficiency there and I for one want solutions now.

Let's share our thoughts now please. How can we fix these fukkers?

yes it's higher scoring, however its all relative. Outscoring your opponent is the aim, so the ease of scoring is irrelevant.

Its easy to make a run in cricket, and the scores are high. Does that make cricket less skillful?

what a stupid post. NRL players kick many of their goals from 10-30m out under no pressure.

If a 5 year old can hold a ball and kick it, a 3 year old could kick a ball on the ground, you dont even need to pick it up or drop it.

Yes but cricket does'nt have an extra set wickets on either side like AFL has goals.


Which ever way you look at it xman. It is only AFL that awards poor accuracy. NOT ONE OTHER SPORT APART FROM AFL AWARDS POINTS FOR MISSING A TARGET.

Would be interesting to have NRL style goals for AFL. Imagine how many misses there would be.

I have never understood while rabble balls rewards failure. I mean it goes against everything you learn as a kid. In the Rugby codes you don't get a point for putting the ball down 10 metres short of the try line.

In the big game of life you reward success and there are consequences for failure. In rabble ball you get a point for missing. If you fumble the ball.......it don't matter......try again........and again......and again.....and finally some unco might pick it up and kick and then the sequence begins again.....fumble, fumble, fumble.......play on!!!!!

This game is not a good teaching experience for life......it gives all the wrong messages. It's no wonder hardly any Victorians make the Aussie cricket team or are any good at any other sport. Rabble ball is a very bad teacher of young people.

you obviously dont know the game Mal. If you miss the scoring area in AFL you dont score. It's not that hard to understand, for most anyway. A miss is a miss.

In cricket if you intend to hit a boundary but come up short you can still make runs. Is that a reward for failure? Hell, you can even miss the ball entirely and score runs!

Just because RL doesnt have the same scoring system doesnt mean other games are incorrect

wrong, so very wrong.

In cricket you can score if you miss your target. In archery your can score yet miss your target. In baseball you can score yet miss your target.
