No one can beat this. Just keep an eye on Arch and listen to the commentary.

Wasn't that great, he smothered someone then tackled. Has little to do with strength and certainly doesn't stack up against Kerr's efforts against Gehrig and Hall.

Wow he tackled a FF. How many times has archer done it before. Just keep watching him. Ive seen better than what kerr did from Archer. Thats just one of the moments from why he is called shinboner of the century and why he has been the strongest palyer in the AFL for 6 years running

He is not, and never has been, the strongest player in the AFL.

Do you even know what strength is?

Yes, Archer is tough, everyone knows that, but he is nowhere near the strongest player in the comp.

And for the record, Leigh Colbert was a tougher player than Archer.

Normal terms : the property of being physically or mentally strong

This is what archer has in his blood f'wit.


In Physics strength means:

The magnitude of physical strength, often referred to as just strength, determines the ability of a person to exert force on physical objects using muscles.


Kerr was able to tackle a 100 kilo ff # of times - 2
Archer has jumped in front of a 100 kilo Bull # of times- 500

And is that why many people are scared of him?


He has a reputation as one of the most courageous players ever to play the game.

Are we all forgetting Anthony Rocca he might have a voice of a 9 year old girl but he sure does pack a punch i'd be interested to see Hall v Gherig v J.Brown v Rocca in a 4 way punch on. The smallet physically is probably most likey Daniel Kerr. Also don't count Aaron Sandilands that man is 211cm and 125 kg I don't think anyone can push him around. Finally Byron Pickett is without a doubt one of the strongest he could bump anyone down on there ass including Hall,Brown,Rocca & Gherig but I don't about Aaron Sandilands.

Hmmm after reading this post I've come to the conclusion you're either incredibly stupid or twelve years old or both.

I apologise for conversing with you, had I know of your condition earlier I wouldn't have bothered. Peace.

Big Neita would go alright too, as even the great man Wayne Carey backed him in as the physically strongest opponent he ever played on (and that was before Neitz had filled out).

Oh, and the Duck could handle himself pretty well too:



haha gotta love that pic

I reckon it is Luke Hodge. In one of his first games I remember him going Martin Pike and couldn't believe it. I have never seen someone out wrestle him or beat him on any one on one.

He is seriously strong. Everitt said that on a footy trip he tried to carry him and he is as heavy as a sack of sand.

Yeah he'd be up there, the guy has balls the size of cantelopes too - doesn't back away from anyone.
