The skill level is so good in AFL you dont even have to catch the ball clean to get a Mark. They will be giving Marks for feeling the wind of the ball as it passes you by next.
No real skill needed to kick a ball into an unguarded goal area, you even give a point for a close miss. How many goals would be scored it AFL had a 8 foot by 24 foot target? NONE.
You talk about tackles!! Ever been kicked with leather boots with metal studs?? you cant train for that you just have to be man enough to take it week in week out.
A wise american once said "you can fool some of the people all of the time, all of the people some of the time, but you cant fool all of the people all of the time. You know it's true, fooball is more than a game it's a way of life for Billions of people YES BILLIONS AND BILLIONS!!!!!!! you do the maths.You dont need to be>>  to work it out

Dear footheadball fan: I was going to say, is this the same manly men in boots with real metal studs who flop onto the ground in simulated and unseemly writhing death throes of agony, like great big nancy boys, if they think there is the slightest chance they might inflict a penalty on their opponent, who has probably only just brushed past them, and get a free kick.
BUT i have thought better of it, and to be the bigger man, and just say "BIG GROUP HUG" with all the other codes and talk about our inner feelings

Yes I know P.T. Barnums quote very well, and good luck with the world domination thing
