that doesn't change the speed or impact.
(in fact some of the biggest hits you will see are in lower level comps)
No offence mate... but that's an 'amateur' comment.

Definitely. Hitting someone at that speed definitely takes the wind out of you, so to have the composure to still be able to look around for a handball was pretty good. He would have been sucking in the air once the ball had cleared!
He is a lot quicker than I had imagined.

Yeah totes, if Buddy was playing for Goody Saints
exactly the point. it was a great bump, but reality is that id be disappointed if he didn't ride it considering it was against an amateur player, and he is supposed to be one of our big bodied guys.

It doesn't matter what the level of footy is, because that was still a sensational bump, Arch rode it, composed himself, and looked for an option, you can't ask for more than that.
It also looked like neither player took his eyes off the ball, so all good.

1954 i respect your opinions, but do you think an under 9 year old could ride a bump against you? if not then you accept that size and muscle definition makes a big difference. Look at the score, it was an over 100 point belting to the magpies. clearly the maggies are a massive step up over the saints and the way that guy didnt move after reflects that.
Look, im not saying it was bad, it was great how he commited himself. but im just getting it into perspective. and the reality is that it was against a player that is likely far less strength. I play soccer still at 40 and been playing my whole life. I know that any contact in a fast sport requires courage to not flinch when going for a 50/50 ball, something i'm not so good with. But like i said, if he pulls that off against other hardened afl players, then im going to jerk off there and then.

I think you are 100% wrong. I could pull out players in every amateur comp in the land that could put Buddy on his arse.
He doesn't play AFL because he's bigger and tougher, but because he's better.
Exactly right. There is some big units in the amateurs. I don't mean fat either I mean bulky guys who obviously lift.

Mate, I haven't been to an ammos game since the mid 1970's but back then there were some fairly hefty units who didn't mind handing out punishment, particularly to an unsuspecting younger bloke.
The size difference can depend on timing and balance as much as anything else, eg in under 16's school footy I was shirtfronted by a kid who was probably a head shorter and about 10 lbs lighter than me, and sh*t it hurt, I reckon I rattled for a fortnight.
I take your point that Arch handed out that bump against a far lesser standard player, but it will be very interesting to see if he can bring that amount of physicality to the highest level, because if he can he could be a very valuable player for the club.
Really happy to see this bloke debut after 3 gameless seasons on your list. Some good videos in this thread, too.

That riding the bump from Aaaaaach was brilliant , the commitment he showed going hard at the contest and the way he bounced off is awesome . I used to try and teach the kids that one ,how to bounce off a hit , it's a good skill to learn . .

Did you seriously just argue that a fully-grown man riding a bump from a nine-year-old CHILD is no different to riding a bump from a Goody Saints A-grade player? What? Just because someone's a lesser-skilled footy player doesn't mean their body completely disregarded puberty, mate.

That may be, but he doesn't get any where near as much hang time on his handballs as Kornes gets on his kicks.

I noticed that Theo Doropoulos is another that believes Brendon is pronounced "BrAAAAndon". I've heard and read that so many times this week.
Seriously, the ONLY Brandon is Brandon Lee, and he's dead.

Thats the point! Its not about the opponent, its about the courage & commitment he put into the contest, without hesitation! They could hear the impact of that hit two suburbs away!! No doubt, it would have been a lot tougher to keep possession of the ball against an AFL opponent .. I dont give a crap! To me the outcome is irrelevant, even if he lost the ball, he wins IMO!
If he shows that commitment at every contest he enters, he stays in the AFL

And Byron Pickett was 178cm and 84kg - what's your point. Because mine was that there's a shit load of solid tough units playing amateur footy.
You mentioned Byron,
There is a lot physics at play here.... the first to back off will absorb the energy.
I just cant help but think of this... even though these are two different circumstances, it does support your argument that size doesn't really matter.
My household has an Oxford where under Courage, there is a picture of Archie now, along with Bryon, two different players but having the same colyoons
