nah bloke we call them hangers.. a screamer is shen someones about to take a speccy and it gets snatched at the last second
If NFL players didn’t wear pads, there would be deaths and career ending games every single week. You have 370 pound linemen and 170 pound defensive backs, that much disparity in size causes enough injury already in the NFL.
Even the hardest AFL player in the league wouldn’t be able to play one quarter in an NFL game without pads. He’d be injured and out of commission before the first first down.
dude i would bet my house that Barry Hall would show you blokes over there a thing or two about tough. Hes 6 foot 8 in your wierd mesurements like i have two feet i dunno how any one could have 6 but any how he weighs 140 kilo. rest my case
Every team in the NFL has a dozen guys that size.
I rest my case.
BTW, he’s 195 cm (6′5″) and only weighs 102kg (225 lbs).
For that matter, every team in the NFL has 30+ guys that big. A guy that size would be a big Receiver or Corner, but those players tend to be the smallest in the league.
Aussie rules football is an amazing sport with tremendous athletes. But its no where nearly as dangerous as American football. Fact.
typical American thinking everything there is harder, faster, tougher etc. seriously watch rugby union (not league) its literally NFL without padding. Most NFL players wouldn’t last a second in AFL because of the intense cardio fitness required, that is why AFL players are “smaller”, because it’s a continuous running game.
No one’s doubting the athleticism of AFL players or rugby players. We’re doubting the argument that NFL is a pussy sport because the players wear pads.
And while most NFL players wouldn’t last a second in the AFL, very few AFL players would be able to last a second in the NFL (except a kicker or punter).
The sports are different, I just don’t understand why you Ozzies are having such a hard time admitting that.
Typical ex prison colony thinking….that because because your players are better at playing your game that they’re better athletes. Its like saying Cricket bowlers are better than Baseball pitchers….you’re comparing apples and oranges. AFL players are amazing athletes and you’d be lying if you said NFL players were not as well.
Does anyone really care who are the better athletes between NFL and AFL players?
I think alot of the Ozzies do. Or at least the ones posting on the internet. I think most Americans understand both AFL and NFL players are great athletes. I don’t really ever see Americans saying AFL players are a bunch of sissies, its almost always the other way around though coming from Ozzies.
i’m australian, i love AFL and recently, i’ve been getting into NFL too. no doubt NFL players need helmets, etc. because they do headshots and they are always moving at 100% speed, as the play is always broken up and players can rest regularly. in AFL, the players run almost continuously and head high tackles/hits aren’t allowed…
every so often though, in AFL matches, you can get HUGE blind-sided head high hits and all kinds of hits from players throwing everything at the ball, but less often.
on the question of which sport’s players are tougher, it’s impossible to tell, until you get NFL guys playing our game, with no pads and helmets. there is really no doubt, however, that AFL players would be more than happy to throw on the pads and play a game of american football. just look at the two highlights starting at 3:08 . doesn’t get any more fearless than that.
but yeah, we’ll never know, because we’ll never see NFL players in aussie rules
It’s happened the other way round though and AFL players went with the top NFL players, the closest thats happened is a few quaterbacks going to rugby, but that isnt a fair comparison since most NFL playaers dont have to be as fit as the quaterback.
AFL players would be more than happy to wear pads and play NFL football but they’re just not big enough.
Barry Hall at 6′5″ and 225 lbs would be the size of a linemen in High School in America.
The positions in the NFL require more specialization whereas AFL players are more athletic in general. Its just plain unfair to try and compare the two sports.
In short, Ozzies playing NFL wouldn’t stand a chance and Americans playing AFL wouldn’t stand a chance, either.
Terrell Ownes is the size of Barry Hall and he’s a wide receiver.
that is absolutely true but i wouldn’t underestimate barry hall cause of his size… lol he’s got a knockout punch. there are bigger players in afl than barry hall though aaron sandilands for instance over 7 foot easily and david hille he’s massive
those two players at 3:08 are Jonathan Brown and Nick Riewoldt. both are as big or bigger than Barry Hall. He isn’t the biggest player in the AFL by any means.
Also, players like Lance Franklin and Adam Goodes would make great wide recievers. they are big, fast and can certainly ‘catch’ the ball in contested situations as one of the main skills in AFL is exactly that.
It’s a bit of a generalization to say no AFL players could play NFL. Defenders in AFL would also be great as cornerbacks, im sure
By the way, I’m not saying NFL players couldn’t play AFL either.I’m sure some could, if they could learn to kick, all they would need is to get thier fitness up and i’m sure they’d be great.
they might take a while to adjust to getting smashed from all sides in the air and colliding without pads though.
Aaton Sandilands is 211cm, or 6′11″ and 125kg or 275 lbs. He’s about the size of a lineman and every team in the NFL has about a dozen guys his size (though usually ALOT heavier at that height).
The point I’m trying to make is that the positions in American football are much more specialized. Comparing the two sports is like comparing apples and oranges.
I’m sure every receiver in the NFL would trade getting smashed once or twice a game by guys the size of high schoolers WITHOUT pads to being smashed a dozen times by guys the size of behemoths WITH pads.
Like I said, Terrell Owens is the size of Barry Hall. If the idea of getting smashed by a wide receiver without pads gives AFL players some thought, just imagine if the guy was the size of an NFL linemen (200cm and 160kg).
You can’t compare the two sports fairly.
there’s a point you’re missing. it doesn’t matter how big you are. a knee to the head, from two men running full speed towards each other is gonna hurt, whether it’s coming from a big man or not. i have no doubt there are far more concussions and head injuries in AFL, than NFL. players suffer huge blows, get their wounds treated and come back on. happens almost EVERY game.
also, i wasn’t saying Hall, Franklin or Goodes should play around the line of scrimmage on the huge players. i said WR or CB type of roles and believe me, they can take the hits with pads on.
AFL players don’t get hit a couple of times a game, they get hit all throughout. many more times than NFL players. we have a ‘position’ called on-baller, who follows the action all over the ground and will make it to most contests. they are as tough as they come. they easily take as many hits as NFL tackles
im not trying to compare the two sports anyway. just trying to say that players from AFL could handle getting hit in the NFL, as well as an NFL player. obviously an offensive lineman would steamroll any AFL player. if a QB can get hammered and get back up, an AFL player could. same with a WR.
i was saying until an NFL player plays in an AFL match you’ll never know if they can handle things like hard head contact, etc (not at all saying they cant, just wondering) that is my point
Of course there’s more concussions in the AFL because NFL players wear helmets (to protect against things like concussions).
There’s a point you’re missing: American football is more dangerous, which is why they have to wear pads and helmets. Without the pads/helmets there would be career ending injuries every single game and deaths every other week. Back in the day before protection, players died all the time playing American football.
haha no they didnt
ur full of shit
aussies fuck u up cunt
just like mundine beat mayweather
