Tackling Harder In Aussie Rules Football Or Ruby 7s?

Since I have a unique medical condition, I need to be aware of contact sports. The only aspect I do not like about the ARF is that you cannot wear any protective gear or its not look upon well.
This spring or summer 2009 I need to decide soon on what sport is a better fit for me. I spend one year playing aussie rules football and the coach seemed to not play be because of my medical condition.
I can keep up with the best players on the team and those players are all-stars. Their are more rugby 7s clubs here in colorado than aussie rules clubs. I am probably will be playing ice hockey after the summer and rugby gives a more opportunity to practice keeping offside or passing.

    if it was Rugby IVs then i would say opt for ARF, but seeming as its 7s, essentially the whole point of the game is to avoid contact, almost always opting for offloads, floater balls, anything to avoid the ball becoming stuck and stationary in rucks and mauls, as this is the case i would go for 7s as long as you have the skills base and can keep up!

    Of course it’s harder in Rugby!
    How often are the tackles stationary in Rugby? and how many decent players know how to break tackles and fend them off?
    It’s a much bigger part of the game.
