What can I say? Every sport has it's psychos (aka Dennis Rodman's) and this guy is the one for AFL.
As far as some of the praise towards AFL - I took a couple of friends from the US to a game - two of which played college football (one a defensive tackle for Washinton State, the other a Tight End for Purdue). They thought that the guys that play AFL must be crazy - big hits, heaps of speed, a huge ground to play on and no helmets or padding!
As an aside - a similar incident happened last week in a South American soccer match - a player poked another player int he arse with his finger. The poked player retaliated and threw a puch - resulting in a send off. Interestingly, the player that instigated the problem will escape punishment because the league doesn't accept video evidence.
