  1. Speedy, send a setup you gormless South Australian git! I'm too busy to go sifting through the disc or the repository and really I'd hate to give Joe Xhia another excuse to go off rambling about non double-blind playing gamey zzzzzz again...gawd he's so fecking boring...like I imagine a looping Justin Bieber track to be only Bieber has less grey hair, wrinkles and probably doesn't smell of moth balls.

    Translation - I can't work out how to start the game, I had the instructions written down in pictograms on a piece of paper next to the computer but the missus threw it out.

    Hey Joe el Cheapo ROF plane sale on till the 18th.

  2. AFL tackles are generally fairly low speed, must occur from in front only and are mainly aimed at pinning the player to the ground. .

    I would say from reading that you have not played or watched much aussie rules?

    In Australian rules you can tackle from any direction, the tackle must be laid between the knees and shoulders. You can tackle from behind however you cannot push a player in the back (included in this rule is riding the tackled player into the ground).

    As for the speed I would say aussie rules is a bit slower than NFL but both Aussie rules and NFL are much faster than rugby.

    As to tackling between aussie rules and rugby I had a mate who played rugby all his life in NSW who came down south and played a couple of seasons of aussie rules in the team I played for. In his opinion aussie rules tackles were more dangerous and likely to cause injuries purely for the fact that they could come from any direction whereas in rugby the vast majority of the time they were front on and you could prepare yourself for the impact.
