In Tassie you can run onto the ground before, during the quarter and half-time and three quarter time breaks. I know it isn't the AFL but he kids still love doing it and it explains why there are still plenty of kids interested in footy here. I saw a kid from (Somalia?) playing in the top level of Tassie footy last week. He looked about 220cm! Played in the ruck in the last qtr and actually PALMED the footy away from the contest to a player. Wasn't that flash in other aspects of the game, though. Can't wait until the African refugee kids start playing footy in earnest there seems to be a bit of Nicnac in all of them. And bowl for Australia as well.
