What's unusual about that? If I had 45 touches I'd be staggering out of there a lot later than that.

Ha ha. By 3 a.m. I would have only told half the people in there about my game. Why did this make the paper?

I don't think the story was actually true - I get the feeling Rucci made it up to illustrate his point about how 'tough' it is for AFL players.

[Brock Landers]

I thought that the article was written by Rucci? It makes a fair point, even though AFL players are under intense scrutiny in every facet of their life, they are more than compensated by the opportunities that arise through being an AFL footballer.

Sorry Brock, you were correct it was Rucci. Edited to reflect that.

Rucci's story was a homily, if you like.
