SYDNEY star Adam Goodes says unlike his teammates, he's not keen on the AFL's rough and tough side.

Questioned by New Zealand media in Wellington on his attributes as a player, the dual Brownlow Medallist compared the Swans to NZ's national rugby union team the All Blacks, but said he was the exception.

"If people are coming to watch the Swannies play for the first time and you've never seen us or you didn't see our grand final last year, we like to play our game like the All Blacks," Goodes told reporters at Wellington's Westpac Stadium.

"Hard and tough and we play for the full 90 minutes, (but) in our game it's 120 minutes.

"We don't let up and it's all about the tackles and the one-on-one contests.

"For myself, I'm not too big on laying tackles and what-not.

"I'm the sort of player that likes to get the ball on the outside and just run and use my athleticism, whether it's to take the marks or whether it's at ground level."

Goodes said if any of the All Blacks made the switch to AFL, he'd be worried.

"I don't want any of those blokes coming to tackle us, I can tell you that right now," he said.

"It's one thing that quite scares me, to be honest."

He told the NZ media the beauty of Australian Rules football was that whether players were tall, short, broad or skinny they could make an impact.

The Swans play St Kilda in Wellington on Thursday night.
