Interesting do they get sacked often?
Very rarely. It's catastrophic to let that happen, so teams go all out on blocking for those plays. There are also fairly severe penalties for hitting the kicker after the ball is away, unless the kick is blocked first.
Most importantly have you adopted an afl team yet ?
I'm not even close to that yet.
Still early days
I'm guessing that I'll gravitate towards favorite players before I settle on a team, but we'll see.
I don't even really have a favorite NBA team and that's the sport I follow the most.
That’s interesting do you just pick a team each game to go for or don’t invest in either side
I certainly appreciate some teams more than others, but sometimes I just like the way a team is playing and start rooting for them mid-game.
Some of the punt totals for a season were under 80, which is only five per game. Punters are usually also the placeholders for field goals and extra point kicks, so that's another half dozen or so plays per game. Occasionally, punters also do the kickoffs, which would be another half dozen or so plays.
They do tend to get paid less than other starters, partly due to not being as involved in the game. The good ones get paid more per play than a lot of other players, which might reflect how specialized their skills are.
