If you watch closely the K player hyper extended his elbow. It is extremely painful and gave me a three week recovery time out.

This was really girly, but meant to be men's, wouldn't you agree ? Which are codes are you talking about ?

Yes trenerry boy, it IS a girls game. And a boys game, a womans and a mans game. Football is for everyone, open to all, regardless of gender, race or religion. Unlike the other codes it treats women and girls as equals.

Knew the comment would bring a couple of you folk out. Thanks for obliging johno. 'must defend AFL '- 'guy who gave the elbow wouldn't be crying'…..as if it's legal to do that in football or AFL….LOL… like i said - in AFL, the game played in Melbourne, if you copped an elbow to the face you'd be saying he's "TUFF"

Second point. Why on earth is this video up here with this inflammatory title, if not to cause a code war? Ridiculous.

The afternoons get a bit dull without a code war spun out of nothing, don't they?

This sounds like something off a 12th Man record, eg "Caven's come running in and head butted Lockett right on the point of the elbow!"

I know the feeling. I once broke my elbow when I elbowed someone in the face in a ruck during a school rugby match.

Love the title. Imagine if an AFL player copped an elbow to the face, he'd be a 'hero'.
