I really can't imagine the gangly AFL players even knowing what this is.

lol that is not a side step.

Haha he moved his body one way and kicked. =D> =D>

Show me an AFL player running through players and side stepping them?

so a side step isnt a step to the side?

LOL

ACCORDING TO THE AFL COMMENTATORS THAT WAS A DANCE NOT A SIDESTEP

So when you said AFL players never side step you meant never side step like RL players?

So should I make a thread how RL players never side step like AFL players? What about a thread how RL players never bounce the ball, never hand pass, never kick with their opposite foot, never punch the ball in defence?

Lol
You could have shortened that to .
Why are RL not unco ?

This thread a fail!

Yes it is on AFLs part because we are still yet to se an AFL player doing a propper sidestep. =D>

Define a proper side step.

I havent seen a RL player do a proper baulk

Far easier to step to the side of someone coming from directly in front of you - one direction. Try side stepping opponents coming from all directions like Cyril Rioli, Kieran Jack, Paddy Dangerfield, etc etc. that's what makes this thread a fail comparing apples with oranges again!

None of those guys you mention have gotten even close being able to do running sidesteps like Shaun Johnson & Roger Tuivasa Sheck.

Yeah I agree, it is apples and oranges. But maybe a lemon is a more suitable fruit for AFL judging by those lame attempts you guys posted.

I am glad you guys posted them though. Really shows Rugby League has the better agility skills when sprinting.

The AFL players don't even run constantly with the ball in one hand on those videos.

Why do you think an AFL player should do the same things as an rl player ? They are completely different games.

I dont see rl players doing things AFL players do... and nor would i expect them to. In soccer do they tackle around the waist ... of course not. Do rl players handball ? Of course not as it is against the rules etc.
