British bulldogs for pussies.*

BB was a violent game we played at Vic Kick as a kid. It was banned at every school I went to.

Oh for sure, it was 10yo demolition derby.

Did it involve one person trying to run and avoid the catching team, who tries to tackle them, or the runner trying to forcefully break through a line?

Also, love the name Vic Kick. I assume that's a precursor to the Auskick I did for a bit as a kid?

Depends on the numbers but usually there'd be 25% in the middle and 75% trying to run from one side to the other. Everyone taken down gets added to the middle.

It might've been aus kick, I never got into AFL. I remember going a few times and being amazed that kids I went to school with knew all this footy stuff cos their families did.
