AFL (Australian Football League) is the greatest sport in the world.

It is much more competitive, fast-paced, more fun to watch and takes MUCH more skill then other sports like NFL, NRL, Basketball, Baseball, Soccer (yes, soccer.) etc. etc.

Crows are best team btw

It actually has a much lower skill requirement than basically all other professional sports.

That is why most players can't compete beyond the age of 30. Skill doesn't matter when they are too slow to get to the ball.

Please watch our sport.

I've been making a huge effort to get back into it this year, since I miss enjoying it like I did when I was a kid

God it's sooooo BORING

> jump
> scramble
> sprint
> kick
> scramble in the air
> scramble on the ground
> repeat for the entire game

Are there even any actual tactics in AFL?

A friend of mine got recruited to play AFL when he got scouted at a marathon, he had literally never played the game before but actually made it into a professional team by simply being ridiculously fit, so yeah there's no real skill apart from the extraordinary athleticism required for any sport

That is the point. Older guys should still be "good" if what actually mattered was skill. Instead they are pushed into retirement because the younger guys outrun them.

Other sports though older players can hang around purely on the basis of skill.

AFL is athletically demanding, less so for skill.

NHL (Gretzky), NFL (Favre), Basketball (Jordan).

All hung around far longer than basically any AFL player.
