They have VB which is a great beer. I wish they sold it in the U.S. They also have XXXX,Tooheys,and a few others. But when I was there no one really drank Fosters. It was all about Victoria Bitter=VB and XXXX. That's all we would drink. Good stuff.

XXXX?! Damn, they must have something on Dos Equis (one of my favorites). Not just TWO XXs, they got FOUR.

Dos Equis is my favorite beer :biggthump especially the amber. My Dad used to let us drink a few when we where camping as kids and ever since. I've loved Dos Equis. XXXX has nothing on XX. But XXXX is good.

VB is an awesome beer, as is Carlton Draught..no offence to you guys but your beers are rather weak..Bud, Millers, Sam Adams are all so-so beers, but when you line them up against ours (bar Fosters which nobody drinks here), they pale into insignificance.
As for the punters, the AFL players kick the ball 50-60 metres (roughly 75 yards), with players coming at them from all angles, something which NFL players dont have to worry about, bar the QB...No the players arent 300lb lineman but rather similar to the bigger WRs in the league..Muhsin, TO etc..Considering there are no pads in our AFL, it can be a fairly violent sport.
I am not here to compare which sport is tougher or stronger, but my thoughts were on the possibilty of some of our sportsmen crossing over to the NFL.Ben Graham & Darren Bennet have both done it, and both were considered very soft AFL players.

again 53-60 meters is about what nfl punter do every time, plus they have to kick up at high angles to give coverage teams time to get downfield. I'm sure its possible for players to cross over from the AFL, but most seem to come from soccer backgrounds.

No it's not! Its fatter and rounder if anything. Which might make it easer to kick. But it's not lighter. That's for sure.
