Which VFL AFL footballer made the famous gesture of pulling up his shirt and pointing to his black skin to express pride in his Aboriginality?

Nicky Winmar, of St Kilda. It was Round 4, 1993. They were playing Collingwood at Collingwood's home ground - Victoria Park - and Winmar had been putting up with racist taunts from Collingwood supporters all day. Then, he kicked a goal, turned to the Collingwood cheer squad, lifted his jumper and pointed to his skin. It was sheer magic. The photo was in every paper across Australia, and I think, even made into T-shirts.

Is muscular strength specific?

Yes ... VERY!

A person can have powerful quads, but only have average arms or wrists.

Have you ever noticed the Huge difference in muscularity between Roger Federer's right forearm and his left: he builds his right for holding the racquet and being able to impart great spin on the ball, but he only needs his left arm to toss a ball in the air for service.

I have seen many sportsmen who have mainly 'running' legs [as in strength and musculature, but powerful shoulders and arms that they put into use in body contact situations: others have thick legs and thighs that they use to 'plow' their ways through packs - often leaving a number of other men lying on the ground as a result.

Strength and fitness are also specific:

For instance, a person who plays tennis regularly may well have a try at playing squash and walk away sore the next day ... and so on.

Every particular skill needs its own training regime.

How do you kick the perfect drop punt in afl?

Have your kicking foot a little ahead of the other foot when you receive the ball. As you are catching the ball, start your first step forward with your kicking foot and make the ball parallel to the ground turned to the inside just a bit. Then, step forward with your other foot and as it is landing on the ground, remove your opposite kicking foot's hand and raise it up(to keep balance). You should now be holding the ball with your hand that's on your kicking foot side, and then drop the ball straight down and meet the ball and follow your foot all the way through.

In the year 2011 what AFL teams have not won the AFL premiership at all?
