VB is an awesome beer, as is Carlton Draught..no offence to you guys but your beers are rather weak..Bud, Millers, Sam Adams are all so-so beers, but when you line them up against ours (bar Fosters which nobody drinks here), they pale into insignificance.

As for the punters, the AFL players kick the ball 50-60 metres (roughly 75 yards), with players coming at them from all angles, something which NFL players dont have to worry about, bar the QB...No the players arent 300lb lineman but rather similar to the bigger WRs in the league..Muhsin, TO etc..Considering there are no pads in our AFL, it can be a fairly violent sport.

I am not here to compare which sport is tougher or stronger, but my thoughts were on the possibilty of some of our sportsmen crossing over to the NFL.Ben Graham & Darren Bennet have both done it, and both were considered very soft AFL players.
