Some f**king hit alright.
He may have went off for a bit, but it shows him coming running back onto the pitch.
If that hit had happend in the International Series there would be lads calling for jail, or at least a lifetime ban. Shows the difference between the sports
Just out of interest what length is a career in AR? What sort of money would they make there, the average player not just the top earners?
If you make the first team regularly odds are you would be on atleast $150,000 (Australian). The top players can earn up too $900,000 a year. Kennelly would easily be on $300,000 (probably more) while Clarke is probably earning alot less. His salary will increase alot next time he negotiates his contract as when he negotiated his current contract he was only a potential star and wasnt actually playing AFL football, now he is a regular first team member and is looking like a very good player. As for your other question a player will usually begin his AFL career around 19 and finish anywhere inbetween 32 and 38 depending on the player.
