Quote:I tell you, I've seen some of this, it's fucking brutal. Some of the hits these guys take are insane. Far worse than anything in rugby or American football from what I've seen.
I played in high school.
Worst injury I saw was a broken femur. (thigh) The'crack' could be heard all over the field. I often went home with sprig marks up my back or a corked thigh.
My position was "ruck/rover" ( then resting in the back left pocket) I followed the ball, and went (jumped) for the ball when it was bounced. Hence the sprig marks on the back.
Best ever was playing our teachers, just the once. Arrogant bastards,we massacred them. .
PS if you think there is no skill in Aussie rules, have a look at the clip below.
