Laidley was a receiver (pun not intended) and each team has at least one. It's rare for them do get a hard ball get, but it's their role.
I think the outside hate (if you will) is directed towards to some of the players and their astronomical wages.
I like soccer, but only the highlights or world cup.
Then there are divers in AFL. But compared to soccer, it's like comparing apples to planets.
And there are fly fishermen out there that couldn't give a rats about either.
