Message: [QUOTE="pennywisealfie, post: 2263122, member: 1813"] word up man. I played on some great sides growing up and noone I played with ever made it far. Even myself, I played my first game of senior football when I was 15 and I was told i may play for Australia if I work at it, by 19 i'd given the game up completely, mainly because thursday training interfered with dollar drinks night and i was usually too hungover to play on saturday or I wanted to hang out with my girlfriend. I totally regret it now, but I did it, and many many others have. The best player I ever played with, may have made it (he had shit work ethic, but was so gifted it was crazy, he was so good on the ball that if we were winning by quite a bit, he'd beat all the defenders, then be one on one with the goalkeeper, but instead he run back a bit so he can try to beat the defenders again.) but he was in a car crash and is a quadraplegic. However, the main thing thats stopping Australian Football progressing is participation. Just remember 10 or so years ago, "Soccer" was a nothing game in this country. The National League wasnt even broadcasted on TV and if u saw someone wearing a soccer jersey, you would be stoked. Now you see them everywhere and theres even a football channel. so give it another 10 years and we will be much bigger. [/QUOTE]
