For god sake, just because their parents had some money and sent them for a private education does not mean the player is soft. The whole arguement is purely based on that assumption that a Private Education = Soft. Have played with and against some wonderful College players and none of them are soft. Certainly the theory that Adelaide University is soft, is the biggest lot of crap I have ever heard. They are as hard at the ball as anyone. Your idea of soft is questionable. Hardness is going for the football and not forging a reputation as a club that snipes, king hits, belts people when not looking and just plain digusting people. Those people and clubs are not hard or tough. Indeed some of those clubs are soft as butter because when they are put to the test and made to go for a hard ball, they pull out and try to belt someone. Toughness is about putting your head over the ball not being a thug
I think someone has had their hair parted down the middle before ha ha.
