AFL players have gotten smaller muscle wise in the last 15-25 years.
when I trained at Richmond Football Club gym in early 1980s, best bench press was around 120kg, I think by Barry Rowlings.
I was thinking 90s.
AFL these days is a game of keepings off played by marathon runners.
Talking different sports here kunce.
AFL and Rugby League or Rugby Union are different sports. Its a certainty that Rugby League and Union players hit a lot harder over a sustained period of time nowadays than they did in times gone by. Pretty sure that's why all these Rugby League players are dying nowadays from head injuries when in years gone by that didn't happen.
AFL (Australian Rules) isn't really a COLLISION sport like Rugby League is, although it does occasionally happen. In Rugby League, two teams line up 10 metres apart facing each other and just run straight at each other.
yes, agree. Very much a running game which has taken away a bit of need for gross strength. a
It is a pity; was great to watch key forwards like Carey, Lockett and Dunstall.
Having said that, a few like Cloke and josh kennedy look like they are quite strong.

Absolute legends of the game but it's very likely Dunstall and Lockett in their prime wouldn't get a game in todays game. It's not the type of player that plays the game anymore. Sad really, the afl with its rule changes has gotten rid of the best past of the game.
I still love the gayfl comment. Heard it so many times on Sydney footy trip by faggy blokes in skinny jeans that wouldn't survive a game of netball let alone afl. And what are they trying to claim, they are a tough rugby player. Lol. Not likely.
Had great times on the piss with rugby players on footy trip, never heard any of them say it.

An AFL "hip and shoulder" can be a lot more damaging, but generally Rugby League is more about collision than AFL. (Yes I have played both.)
Yep its usually the armchair sportsman who have never played either code who claim how soft or ridiculous other sports are...
Footy is a tough game, probably the most physically demanding, especially nowadays
Modern footy for me is not enjoyable to watch, except when players are told to have a go and play their natural game (go with their gut)
