I, a fan of rugby union and American football, can tell the brilliance of the tackles, but hey, those bumps! I was so surprised bumping is legal, that I googled “AFL bump rules”! I’m a newbie fan of AFL, the more knowing the rules and skills, the more this sport amazes me. What an exciting sport!
Dear AFL and TV Broadcasters, I would also love to have digital broadcasts where I have the option of switching the commentary off and the crowd noise left audible. I get so sick of being shouted at by James Brayshaw and Brian Taylor. Also - do we actually need commentary where TV is concerned? "He picks the ball up and kicks it into the forward line" - yes, I KNOW that already because I am watching it on a screen! Some people like having commentary - others prefer to watch this great game without commentary. I know I'm in the minority, but perhaps an option in the future?
Friendly reminder that hutchings handballed it 15 metres the moment rioli tackled him and still hawthorn got the free kick. Mark Neeld couldve coached three premierships if they’d had the same umpiring hawthorn got during that era
I feel once you bounce the ball, no matter if you dispose of the ball correctly from a tackle it’s holding the ball. They’ve had plenty of “prior opportunity” if they don’t call those, umpires would cop even more abuse
Soccer is the most powerful sport on earth. It has four billion fans and is loved by all countries on earth. AFL on the other hand has only six million fans and is loved by four Australian states. Soccer is a sport for all religions, races, origins and nationalities. AFL is a sport for white Aussies.
Soccer is a European game. Of course it is going to be one of the most popular sports if most of the countries in the world were colonised and invaded by these Europeans. The cultures and sports of these nations were destroyed and millions of people were killed to make way for the European culture and it’s game, not such a “beautiful game” now isn’t it. Australian Football was a game originally invented by our First Nation’s people which was called “Marn Grook”. Eventually the game would be noticed by the Europeans settlers and it would be shaped into the beautiful game that it is today. If soccer was really that powerful as you thought it was, it would’ve already been the number one sport long ago in the 1800’s-1900’s. However the Australian people didn’t want to follow the European game of football, why would they want to if the Australian game of football was more exciting, action packed and not overly repetitive (unlike soccer). Soccer theoretically should have been number 1 long ago, besides the nation who invaded and colonised the Great Southern Land invented the bloody game. But the power of Australian Football withstood the European game due to the uniqueness of the sport and the excitement that it attracted from the Australian public. If you ask me, I find it pretty embarrassing that the nation who invented soccer couldn’t make the sport the number one game in it’s own colony! Fast forward to today, Australian Football is at the best it has been in its lifetime in terms of popularity across Australia. Did you know that 1 in every 23 Australians are a member of an AFL club? Meanwhile, the A-League gets less supporters to its games than the NRL and the national soccer team has only played in one World Cup Semi Final in it’s 100 history. Soccer may be the number 1 participated sport in Australia, however that is because the other sports that are available to play in Australia are more physical and demanding. Rugby is a very physical sport where only the strongest and better body types can play, Australian Football is not as physical but requires more stamina and skill which can be tough for new players who haven’t played the sport as a kid/teenager. I remember hearing that people thought that soccer was going to be the number one sport in the 80’s. That never happened. You’re claiming that soccer is going to be number one in 2050? Have a look at your sport’s history in Australia bud. The national team is an embarrassment, the A-League lacks fans, the sport is just too simple and boring compared to AFL. Don’t try persuade me that the Socceroos will do better in the future, they won’t. Academies and “professional” regional soccer clubs in Australia cost way too bloody much anyways. The talent pool is only limited to the rich. Most of the most famous soccer players came from slums, poor neighbourhoods or some average neighbourhood. The only players you see coming from rich households are the ones who are the sons of famous soccer players. Australia’s real soccer talent is being blocked from being allowed to show off their skills to the nation’s top teams and selectors because of their socioeconomic status. Why should people try to become soccer players if it’s too bloody expensive to even try to become one? It would be much cheaper to become an AFL player or an Olympian. Soccer doesn’t deserve to be Australia’s number one sport and it never will. Australian Football has a proud history in Australia that soccer can’t compare to. It’s a rich man’s sport in Australia and if you’re not willing to pay the big bucks just to have a shot, you’ll never make it anywhere in soccer in Australia. To answer your spam, soccer will never become number 1 in Australia. It simply doesn’t deserve to. AFL is a game for everyone and does not discriminate against your socioeconomic status and is an open playing field for those who have the skills and determination to become a true AFL professional.

As a hawks supporter I just want to appreciate how good Tom Stewart's run from half back was against the swans. I absolutely loved his effort
Should've taken clean possession at the second contest though, wasn't under any heat
@@eponymous7910 there's always one -_-
@@samrasmussen33 sure is haha. It was amazing from Tom Stewart
Collingwood runner - 2018 grand final. Still the best bump I’ve seen
He didn’t even do anything stop sending threats
@@Aidan_033 where I’m my comment is there a threat????

Can't help but notice nearly every other clip involved an Eagle player copping it (Pain)
At least they got Liam Ryan’s bump on Maynard to start it off
4:47 I'm confused why it says Byrne-jones bump when he if the one that got sat down. It was robbie gray that tackled him
Robbie Gray probably wouldn't have been able to catch and tackle Dangerfield if Byrne-Jones didn't slow him down
bro the afl got something against west coast, so many moments just not put in at all across multiple videos

TIL Sydney played in just about every finals series of this decade and didn't land a single decent tackle.. apparently
I swear I was thinking the exact same thing!
It's the VFL mate. Can't be giving too much of the spotlight to teams outside of Victoria
I swear in 2012 granny Marty mattner made a beautiful tackle
@@rangaking2391 he did too, exactly what I was thinking!
Bro what about against melbourne in 2022
Came here from a Tippa run down tackle highlights and was disappointed to not see 1 appearance in this compilation.
AFL hates the swans and eagles I guess
Fax
Shane Edwards delivered some ripper bumps in his three Grand Finals
Seeing north Melbourne playing finals causes me physical and emotional damage
Kinda like seeing Steele Sidebottom with hair
Cyrils tackle 😼
So many against West Coast
How many times was Dangerfield in this video, not the beneficiary though😜
Gotta say it again.. BOYD’S KICKED A GOAL! BOYD’S KICKED A GOAL! FROM INSIDE THE CENTER SQUARE!
You know what’s next, everybody! 😁
*_No Varcoe tackle?_*
Hartlett 2014 elim final??????
Where's Shane Biggs??
why do they look like they are about to fight after every tackle
Best of 2024 - bd mros, bad umpiring, bad score reviews and ginivan
Stewarttttttt
I miss Brian Lake
If KSI saw this
Sad the bump is pretty much and soon to be totally dead
I wish Brian Taylor would just speak and shop shouting at everything and at everybody.
Friendly reminder that hutchings handballed it 15 metres the moment rioli tackled him and still hawthorn got the free kick. Mark Neeld couldve coached three premierships if they’d had the same umpiring hawthorn got during that era
it very clearly bounces out of his hand before he punches it
He didn’t handball it he punched it after Rioli dislodged it making it an incorrect disposal
I feel once you bounce the ball, no matter if you dispose of the ball correctly from a tackle it’s holding the ball. They’ve had plenty of “prior opportunity” if they don’t call those, umpires would cop even more abuse
Liam Ryan was dirty af
Hutchings got the handball out
He threw and punched it. Which is an incorrect disposal
flagpies22
Nope
Sus
Liam Ryan’s bump wasn’t the best it was purely dogs act
It was a great hit and he and Maynard always show each other respect when they match up on each other. Fair bump, play on
