And especially when there might be young girls wanting to play footy out there who are scared off by that hypothetical 1000 hours statistic.Brandon Jack is a writer and former Sydney SwanI’m pretty sure that if AFLM hours were cut to these numbers, then you'd see a significant drop in the amount of time allocated to prehab and physio as the priority would be on game specific drills.
I hope they didn't just multiply everything by 5 and think that would do, otherwise I could start making my case to be on a flight to Tokyo next year!
