You cant seriously be talking about ARules. League and Union certainly. Nowadays, you can barely push a player without fronting up to the tribunal. Of these codes ARules is more like football than any other. They even pass the ball at the back now.

BTW thank you for calling me a liar. And before you deny it, here is the definition of LIE as found at http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Foru...s22lies5a.html

22. Lies
22.5a. What is a lie?

1. What is deception?
"Deception includes the range of means whereby people may be mislead. The most evident of these is lying. But it also includes withholding information which the person might find of immediate significance, as well as misleading the person into some alternative belief, or reinforcing such a belief. Then there are the more marginal forms of deception, such as evasion, euphemism and exaggeration; and the often unconscious forms of deception (without intention to mislead), such as the subtle changes of subject, the disguises, the gestures leading astray, and silence and inaction.

Boban, Now youre starting to sound like a lawyer. :rolleyes:

Lignum, those that said no are the only ones who got it wrong. The Q was CAN Aus beat Brazil. The answer is yes, they can. They did not on this occasion, but they can and have in the past. Now I'm starting to sound like a lawyer...:p :rolleyes: :D

Brian Clarke and the IAFC have nothing to do with the AFL Commision/Administration.

So which part of 22. Lies
22.5a. What is a lie? did i get wrong. The soccer web site i did, because i have never heard of the IAFC and the article was doing its best to put the code (Rules) down, so i jumped the gun and assumed it was a soccer web site. That part i got wrong

The article is over three years old and their is no way known Andrew Demitriou and the Commision would endorse such an article, so thats the part i said you mislead us with.

Granted, I wasn't born into any of these sports. However having lived most of my life in Aussie rules dominated states (VIC and SA) I can honestly say that I very rarly watch the AFL anymore because it has become very sanitised. That it is not to say that I do not watch Aussie rules I am a great follower of Sturt in the local league (SANFL) and go to mtches when time allows.

Watch the Bledisloe Cup, Legue State of Origin or the traditional rival games of Aussie Rules and you will see Football played at its vicious and skillful best.

Happy to watch the Union in all it's forms and do, Super sevens etc.., through to tri nations and any other comp.
I've already stated I'm not a great lover of league, simply don't like it.
As for Aussie rules.. see above.

As I've stated earlier I'm a football tragic, this does not mean that I can not appreciate other codes and sports. I do not think any code is inferior to others just different.

Like it or not I think the Socceroos will be better off without Kewell. But that’s only my opinion. We need strikers that score goals not strikers that look good.

Guess we wont find out now whether you are right Wongo ;)
