Could I ever play professionally?

5'9 155 ibs Can run 3 miles in 15 minutes, sprint fast. Have accurate kicking and vision. I'm 18 and have never played, but the AFL games I see late at night on TV just has me in awe! It looks fun, and especially tough but I've been tackled by huge guys like that and can handle it. What are my chances? BQ: what position best suits me?5'9 155 ibs Can run 3 miles in 15 minutes, sprint fast. Have accurate kicking and vision.

I don't know much about AFL. But if you are interested in rugby, here is what i recommend. Anybody can play rugby, it doesn't matter what shape or size you are. I would start off by finding a local club team so you can learn how to play. It may take a few years but if you are truly devoted you could go professional. And position? Anywhere in the back line, probably wing or outside center. But i recommend you give rugby a try. It is literally one of the best sports out there.

AFL isn't rugby. It is a completely different game. Ask again in the "Australian Rules Football" section.
