Do all AFL players shave their legs now?

and Why?

I can't remember the last time I actually saw a footy player with hairy legs

It's not uncommon for men these days. I don't play footy, but still get full body waxes once every couple of months.

Both my missus and I like the smoothness.

Not sure if this comment is serious or not, but the backs of my knees absolutely kill because the hair rubs so badly, I could just never go into one of those places.

100% serious. I have been doing it for years. I like to look after myself and it does look heaps better. A lot my mates get it done as well.

Short term pain, but it is well worth it once you see the results!
 
As well as the strapping thing, and having a cleaner, smoother appearance, it might make things easier/more comfortable for all the massages and rub-downs players get now days too. I've heard that most players have a massage at their club about 2-3 times a week.

Ever tried removing strapping from unshaven legs or arms?

And this.

Ripping tape off hair hurts. Especially once it has dug in after playing a game.
 
lol @ people thinking they do it because it hurts ripping tape of their ankles/knees. Waxing hurts much more. They do it because it improves their appearance.

BTW there are still some players that don't do it. Jobe Watson doesn't, small forward for North (Thomas I think) doesn't.
 
I thought the same thing until last year when I took strapping off my knee in the shower, I will never wax though, I just don't blame others for doing it.

Gumbleton doesn't shave his legs, they're hairy as hell!

100%. I probably know more men in their 20s and 30s who do it these days than don't!

I used to do it because they looked ****en ridiculous. I'd have clean ankles from the strapping, clean knees from the strapping, and 6 inches of hair in between.

Underarms are more prevalent in dudes with shoulder tape. I never had my shoulders taped but saw guys trying to get that last bit of tape from under the armpit :eek:

Yeah I have, its not that bad.

I'll go one better, have you ever tried to remove shoulder strapping when you have aq dislocated shoulder? Now that hurts
 
My mother who barely knows who is playing for her own side in any given year actually asked me this on the weekend. I was too stunned that she had noticed to give her an answer so thanks all of the above I'll call her tonight!

Or a broken collarbone? I had a slight shoulder strain so got it strapped, then busted my collarbone.

I took the tape off with the aid of the green whistle and 2 people holding me still... didnt help.
 
Manscaping for anything other than operational procedures is...bizarre.

My women love to run their fingers through my back hair.
