CROQUET!!!!!! I think I've mentioned this before.....

Bumpy/rough/hilly terrain.....1 a.m....totally dark outside.....about a 12 pack running through my blood.....playing croquet....

Definitely had some bruised shins and sore toes the next day.

Why I would still chose the AFC over UFC:

1) there is more rules to think about in Aussie Footy

2) It's very demanding over a long period of time.

Don't get me wrong. I'd rather play Footy than UFC anyday. It's just that UFC seems less of a sport, and more of "who can get the other guy in a position that if he doesn't quit he'll be dead shortly". Heck, any UFC guy could probably get any UFC guy to submit in seconds. DOesn't mean it;s a tougher sport.

I see the "sport" part lacking when it comes to UFC. Even Boxing and Pro-wrestling has more sport-elements.

I know... Pro-wrestling is fake, and UFC is real. So what. ;-)

Fighting - espescially ground fighting and grappling- is a heck of a lot more physically and mentally demanding than any team sport I've ever played. Granted, some fights only last a couple of minutes or even less than a minute, but during a prolonged fight you'll use and usually exhaust every major muscle in your body. And if you're not a good strategist, then you can get yourself into some pretty sticky situations. You have to anticipate your opponents next move and think of a way to counter it before it happens. You have to avoid putting yourself into a position that will give your opponent any opportunities. That's a lot more thinking than takes place in Aussie rules football and it's a lot more difficult to learn and implement martial arts than it is to memorize a list of rules, run, kick, and catch a ball. And, if you disagree, find a local Brazilian Jiu Jitsu institute and get on the mat with the begginners for 10 minutes straight.

Aussie Rules Football is to Rugby, what Bigfoot (4x4) is to a Ranger.

Yup and I could not of said it better myself!!!! That has to be one of my top three if not the #1

I also agree with you here too

I could not agree more with this statement. A friend of mine was an instructor at Bushi Ban Karate Do in Deer Park for a while. We used to grapple for practice, keep in mind I was playing football and lifting weights every day at this time. I have never participated in a sport that was more physically and mentally demanding than grappling, and I've played quite a few sports.

Hmmmm, true, but if you line them up right, you can use the domino effect and get them all at once!

I'll never forget the night we were all in the garage working on one of the Mustangs and my then 15-year old told me with this surprised look on his face "you really can knock em over like that"
"And you know this how?" was my reply. I think he just figured out there's a down side to the sport. . . . or at least tellin your dad about it.
