AFL players that would make ADF Special Forces

LOL loser. Probably all AFL players (provided they're not injured) could pass the SF fitness test in post #2. That is only a barrier test to determine that you have the minimum standard of fitness required to commence Commando Training, which is where the REAL hurt begins. Even so, AFL players may struggle with the navigation exercise and endurance pack march because it's something they're not used to doing.

A lot of PTIs (physical training instructors) in the ADF come close to AFL level of fitness but many fail SAS selection.

It's all between the ears, fitness is just assumed for the applicants.

Running all day won't stop you from panicking when the bullets start flying and you can't call for air support as your radio doesn't work.

This. Losers on this forum seem to think special forces is just about being fit. Of course most (if not all) AFL players would have the physical fitness to pass Special Forces selection, but physical fitness is only one part of the equation. Other qualities like your mental resilience, situational awareness and ability to stay calm and think clearly under extreme pressure are what's being tested during Commando and SAS selection.

who gives a rat's tossbag?

state sanctioned hit men and scumbags the lot of em

Edgy post, aren't you the guy who refuses to stand during the national anthem and last post?

Another limp wristed manchild no doubt

If they could pass the test they'd be in the SAS. AFL footballers are failed SAS commandos.

 

[demondavey]

Care to elaborate?

I think he was being sarcastic

 

[mehow2g]

If you are cold robot with no feelings you're half way from being selected.

 

[Jimmybob]

Probably none. I'd be surprised if any were able to get through the initial test just to be able to get into the training for the SASR.

I hate this sort of thing as there is no comparion at all to a football feild and a battlefied. Sure Selwood might be brave on a football field but he is in reality not risking much. If he had been asked to go over the top in WW1, he for all we know might have wet himself (a lot of men did).

 

[JVseven]

Most would be physically capable. It would come down to mental toughness and their decisions making under extreme stress while being physically exhausted and sleep deprived.

I know of two who have done selection and one that is a commando.

Sure hope so. Bloody disgraceful otherwise.

and some losers probably think the ADF special forces are something to aspire to

For those who aspire to it...it is. Different strokes for different folks.

We can't all be baristas in Fitzroy unfortunately, some people have to settle for less admirable professions

I like the part where you think being a barista has anything to do with me

Well obviously they do. I just want to see an AFL player do what Pat Tilman did (NFL player who left the game to serve in US special forces).

Why would you want to see that? I mean I have no problem with people joining the army, but it isn't something that should be seen as more important than any other job. In WW2 sure, but now, in 2017, it isn't like it matters too much.

i guess that would prove whether or not they are real men, yeah?

There's nothing wrong with being anti war and killing, but emasculated inner city men denigrating people with far stronger physical and mental strength for doing something they would never be capable of is just sad.

I hope all the West Coast players do and they get incinerated in a nuclear fire on the Korean Peninsula

If Pat Tilman knew he'd die by friendly fire and his superiors would lie about it he probably wouldn't have joined.

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Why would AFL players quit for a much shittier job mutilating Afghan corpses?

Oh you meant sas-r not ss never mind.

More realistic question would be..How many AFL players would win an academy award?

Lol never heard of him before the earlier post

died from friendly fire? you can't script that shit

hilarious
