quite!

i'm a heavy tackler, sometimes too heavy...got a lot of cards and warnings!
i think it's fair to say i'm more power than finesse
!
aha nice, I got some friends who play with the same style.

Do you make errors though?? My friends who play like that usually butcher you when they make an error.

You're my worst enemy I guess, I play as a winger/forward and I have problems stopping so if someone is ready to tackle me hard I'm forced to leave the ball roll ahead of me to avoid injuries.

I play in my local competition for a team called Horsley Park. I can play anywhere across the backline, but my preferred position is RB. Last year in July, i was involved in an ugly tackle and fractured my arm, that put me out for 10 weeks, but i got back just in time for the grand final and played the final 15mins. (pity we lost 2-0). Now this season, i havent had the best of luck either. 3 weeks ago, i fractured my right leg, which has put me out for another 10 weeks! I twisted it severly while getting caught up in a sliding tackle from an opponent. I have never felt so much pain in my life. I am now sitting at home everyday, doing nothing! After this injury, i have decided to quit playing the game. I love it so much but i cannot afford to be off work for so long. I guess in a little while, i will go back to playing 5-a-side indoor, but in the back of my mind i will always be afraid to get injured again. Hopefully my team will make the grand final again this season, so i can cheer them on!

Hmmm I have played football but just for fun. Defense is pretty much all I can do.
I'm not gonna tell you how long ago it was when I was 28 & played for our local taxi service team...the last game I played we were 4-1 ahead at half time, & finished being thrashed 4-5! I make the excuse we weren't physically fit...
