Message: [QUOTE="john1420, post: 3171452, member: 2077"] It's all a matter of opinion, and taste. I'm born and bred Adelaide, grew up treating AFL as a religion (my whole family still does) and I cannot stand the sport now. There is just nothing entertaining about it - for me. The problem with the game is that the basic rules and aims are simply not difficult. The main aim is to kick a goal. How do you do that? Just kick a ball between to posts. Ah yes, but it's much harder because someone can be there trying to stop it. Actually, no problem, just kick it over their heads. And don't get me started on marking the ball.....if you catch it, nobody can touch you....WTF? The entire game is just too scrappy and lacks structure. You can seriously re-create a game of AFL by throwing a hot chip to a pack of seagulls - it's the same spectacle. The only way AFL is tolerable and moderately exciting is if you have an emotional investment in a particular team. [/QUOTE]
