    One thing I do hate about League and Union is that people call them "the footy". They aren't footy - kicking is not the major part of the game!!

      With the exception of rushed behinds, AFL is the only (football) code where scoring is acheived exclusively by foot. Hence AFL is the only genuine form of football!

      Meanwhile Penga, you shouldn't be using non-conformist in the perjorative. It simply means that you've done a bit more thinking than your average Joe, assessed a few more options, and arrived at your own conclusion.
      It's very hard to live in a studio apartment in San Jose with a man who's learning to play violin. That's what she told the police when she handed them the empty revolver.

          Sorry, wasn't trying to be highbrow. Perjorative would mean that the word has negative connotations. For example, a term such as un-Australian is one that is currently doing the rounds. Often used in the form of slang labels to put someone / something down, ie greenie, yuppie, commie, fascist etc.

          Therefore you shouldn't attach a sense of shame to being a non-conformist. Feel free to embrace it. It can be a good thing too.

              A soccer goal can be scored from any part of the body except the hands. Most common (apart from a goal by foot) are headed goals; deflections from a player's body/torso are also quite common.

                But in AFL scores can be made by any part of the body also, the same as soccer. If the original post had meant goals then I would agree.
