Hello all:
Started watching AFL two weeks ago and I cannot get enough. Unlike our NBA & NFL players who cry & whine about every little thing....AFL players are TOUGH. The real deal. No flopping. None of that pretend "throwing the penalty flag" garbage. "Play on". Ballcarrier is driven 3 feet into the ground. "Play on". One player plants his cleats into another's neck while jumping for the ball. "Play on".
As a long-time football fan in the USA can someone tell me about the penalties assessed if there is any extra-curricular garbage. I see an occasional push here & there but NOTHING like the flop artists of the NFL & NBA. In the handful of games I have watched I do not believe I have seen the referees needing to get between players.
I had to choose a team in order to register for this board but in reality I have no idea who to root for.
