I'm a Queenslander and a Rugby League person, but we know about this Dipper guy. Very few footballers of any era had his toughness. AFL in those days was brutal. The thing about Australian Football is that your in a 360 degree impact environment. In Rugby League the collision is mostly frontal. AFL requires more peripheral vision, more aerobic fitness. Pure strength and power goes to the Rugby League guys.

I put it to people that both forms of rugby, soccer, US football... all take the form of two armies directly facing each other - but with Australian Rules, it's more like guerilla warfare where danger lies everywhere.

@Kani Fuker You may know 'Dipper' is one of many AFL players down the years from an Italian migrant family background. DiPierdomenico (sp?). The AFL has selected players for "The Italian Team of the (20th) Century". You will hear names like Silvagni, Ricciuto, Caracella, Dal Santo, Deledio, Favola. And in the current crop - Coniglio.
