If you could pick any athlete to play AFL

Can't believe people were saying Shaq.

He had no work ethic for NBA training let alone him doing any AFL training.

He wouldn't be able play for 10min let alone a qtr or a whole game.

Geoff Toovey.

Pound for pound he is one of the genuinely toughest footballers I've seen in any code.

One of the reasons I'm a Manly supporter.

Coaches the same way he played, doesn't take any s**t.



If I was going to war Geoff Toovey would be one of the first guys I'd pick to sit alongside me in the trenches.

Absolute warrior.

LeBron would revolutionise the game in so many ways.

Especially in flopping...

Blake griffin, would tear any ruckmen or KPD a new one

Wouldn't pick anyone from the NBA, they'd bitch & moan about the heavy tackling contact & they'd struggle to run out the first quarter without being able to call timeouts!

I wonder how many people would say Jordan if this question was asked on a major League baseball forum?

Athleticism doesn't really translate that well to baseball. Being tall doesn't help you in baseball. Being able to jump high doesn't help you in baseball. It's all hand-eye co-ordination. So I would think most smart people would look at sports like cricket or such that rely on similar skill sets.

FWIW MJ wasn't that bad a baseball player, with most people acknowledging that if he had only tried baseball for a living (from his teens), he probably would have done ok.

John Daly!
