Two ways of looking at it really. There doesn't seem like there'd be much more scary than one of those scrums against any team but particularly those top teams. They nearly trample each other to death and the thighs on those guys...wow! ANd just tackles in general, the player gets stomped on by about 6 giants whenever he gets the ball. But in Aussie Rules it's more that they have to run backwards and forwards over that giant field (it's the cricket fields they use so that's some distance). Backwards and forwards like basketball except over giant distances. I don't know how they keep it up.
