Hi Ryan, I was the one who sent you the AFL jersey, the poo & wee coloured. It’s not a Team from Tasmania, they are sponsored by Tasmanian Tourism. The team is the Hawthorn Hawks, based in Melbourne. Derek
AFL is brilliant watched live too because there are so many different things in play all over the field. When it’s televised, it’s not possible to show everything, so they concentrate on following the ball. I was amazed when I went to my first live game
It's is hard to bounce the ball when running at full speed, you have to throw the ball about 3 meters out in front of you for it to bounce back up to you ..us Australians learn to do this when we were baby's so alot of experience buy the time your 7 or 10 years old, buy the time you get to play AFL you would have about 18 years experience. That's why AFL players make it look easy.
If something, anything touches the football after it gets kicked and it goes between the goalposts, it is not a goal but a behind. Meaning, instead of 6 points, it's worth 1 point.
The team in brown & gold is the hawthorn football club. they have 2 home ground's. The M.C.G. in Melbourne and the other is based in the Tasmanian city of Launceston. They play in Tasmania an average of 4 games a season. The state of Tasmania will be entering a stand alone club from I think around 2028 onwards.
@@petethundabox5067 No. It was a home ground untill 1973. From 1974 to 2005 the oval was only used for admin and training. They then abandoned Glenferrie and moved all admin and training facilities to Waverly park from 2006 to the present. I think for a short time they used Waverly for home games in the nineties.
Hi Ryan, in the first one, the North Melbourne player has a mark or free kick, so can take his time and kick over the mark (the place where the opponent is standing). Instead, he chose to play on, which is kind of understandable, since he is a small, agile player and the guy on the mark is Mason Cox, a "lanky Yankee" - he is 6' 11" and not the most agile, so it should have been pretty easy to get around him and play on. However, he stuffed it up and got tackled which means he is caught holding the ball and Mason Cox would have got the free kick. The push afterwards is just to rub it in and humiliate him a bit more. That would be pretty much expected. By the way, you may have noticed that there was hardly anyone at the ground. I can tell from the seating that this is the Gabba in Brisbane, so not the home for either of these teams. This must have been played during the pandemic, when there was a lockdown in Melbourne and many games were moved interstate. The Grand Final was played in Brisbane in 2020, the first time it had been played outside Melbourne, and Perth in 2021. "Tasmanian" doesn't mean that they are from Tasmania. The team (brown and gold stripes) is Hawthorn, which is a suburb in Melbourne. They mainly play at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. However, their major sponsor is the Tasmianian government and therefore they play 4 or 5 games a year in Launceston, northern Tasmania, and the "Tasmanian" on the jumper (not a "jersey") is a sponsorship logo. It has just been decided that Tasmania will have their own team, who will likely be called the Tasmania Devils, who will begin playing in 2027, if I remember correctly. It was so nice to see Stevie Johnson (the guy in the blue and white horizontal stripes) showing off and getting run down in the goal square. He was a big head. Yep, stands empty during COVID. Here in Melbourne, we had the longest lockdown in the world. Yes, you can push people away (known as a "don't argue"), as long as you don't contact them high (above the shoulders) or in the back. Dustin Martin, shown in the clip, is the master of this technique. And yes, you can to practically anything to your opponent as long as you take the mask or make a "genuine attempt" to do so. The next one was a great spoil right on the goal line. The guy chasing just got there in time an touched the ball after it had been kicked. A goal has to be kicked between the goalposts (the two tall posts) without being touched either by an opponent ent or a team mate. Therefore, in this case, it was a behind (worth 1 point, rather than a goal, worth 6 points) and was signalled as such by the umpire (they use two hands to signal a goal and one to signal a point. They also follow this up by waving two flags for a goal and one flag for a behind). They train to take "speckies/screamers", so they know to roll over as they hit the ground after taking a mark to minimise the risk of injury. Wardrobe malfunctions - yes they do happen sometimes. Usually just the underpants are revealed but there was one the other day that exposed someones bare cheeks. If you enjoy AFL so much, Ryan, maybe you could do some live reactions to some games?
It's great to see people from other nations enjoying the Aussie flavour. I just want to add a little extra info to your growing knowledge bank. We have two major football games that we follow. AFL and NRL. It seems to me that AFL is massive in Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania and Western Australia. While NRL is massive in New South Wales and Queensland. You get fans of both games in all the states. On the international stage we also play Rugby Union. New Zealand also play AFL, NRL and Rugby Union. When the Wallabies play the All Blacks it's a great excuse to hook up with your Kiwi mates for a BBQ and take the piss out of each other.
@3:20 when you said to fall down when someone jumps on you, that is called tunnelling the player and is a free kick against the player who did that, it could also be very dangerous for you and the opponent.
Love to a see a whole team of aboriginals in the afl, they would be unstopable. The Winmars, Longs, Tipungwutis, kicketts (before he got his nickers in a twist) what they can do with the ball is amazing. Back in the 90s early 00s they turned footy into magic. Best aboriginal duo were Long and kickett, when there are aboriginals on the same team their brains conect and know what the team mate is going to do before they do it. One of the best examples od that is in one final long and kickett did not have to look where they were to handball they just were on a another level.
@@cypherglitch I'd love to see an Aboriginal (sorry, but I hate the First Nations Americanisation crap) team, but our mob generally lack height. Adam Goodes, Polly Farmer would make a great old style Ruck / Rover combination, but if we where to try and build a spine using current players - we'll be struggling. Mind y7ou, back when I was a boy playing in state competition, the lads from FNQ and NT where always faster and had great skills, way better than mine, but they tended to move to Rugby League after junior comps - a great loss to Aussie Rules :(
@Shane Robinson same here I hate that crap. "We are here to recognise the original owners of this land.....blah blah" they forgot that the aborignals of the past said they dont own land because it belongs to everyone. Understandable seeing aboriginals had no written language and everything was passed down in story mode. But they must have some amazing skills, telling the stories exactly as they were told for how ever long they were here for. They cant decide, was it 10,000 or was it 20,000 40,000? Now its up to 50,000 yrs they lived in australia for. My cousins in W.A are land developers, and the only hurdle the face every single time they want to build on land they purchased, they need an aborignal to survey the land to make sure it is not spiritually significant to the aboriginals. They even found an arrow head conveniently just laying on the ground, and it was said it was proof aboriginals were here upto 50,000 yrs ago. My cousin said they just want to be paid and they bugger off happy as larry and leave without any more communication.... until the next time. What a shity scam backed by the state government. First time I ever heard aboriginals using bow and arrows. Even if it is true, it shows aborignal history have lost technology and have gone back in their weapons technology, and some how forgot to add that in the stories being told to each generation. 50,000 yrs and all you have to show for it is a stick that returns to you, and a hollowed out piece of wood that makes sounds. Live in huts wearing loin cloths, except tassie aboriginals that used possum fur. I still admire their foot skills. Dont realy know the rugby players by name. I never knew aborignals went to the dark side to play rugby.
@@cypherglitch Well, i think you've misinterpreted my comment - I just dislike the term "First Nations People" when describing Australia's Aboriginal people. I prefer to be described as an Indigenous Australian, and have my heritage recognised. Anyhow, thanks for exposing yourself as a racist twat, you're rant was rather humorous, in as much as you exposed your racism without wearing a pointy white hat.
@Shane Robinson oohh someones nickers in a twist. spoken by someone who is lives in a echo chamber repeating what he hears and only listens to people who go along with your opinions. Get some new material. lol what did I say that was factually wrong. What did I say that was racist? You will not be able to use fact and or logic to explain why you think I am racist. No one now can not agree what the term means now. That word gets thrown around so much it losing all meaning, especially when they dont back it up.. where did I say I hate Aboriginals? Was I wrong about the arrow head, the loin cloths, huts, spears????? All I questioned is how can they keep such an accurate historical account just by passing stories stories down verbally for 40,000 50,000 yrs? No one can. Where were the posts saying "this is the traditional land owners of......" ?!?! So the aboriginals never believed the land belong to all!?!? Please show me where were I lied, what I made up, what I said was racist... cant?? Np, It happeneds Every single time I ask people to prove their claim, I never hear from them again. Ahh isee your emotions just got the better of you. Wow after one comment you seem to know so much about me. How about not jumping to conclusions and judging someone on one comment. So anyone who questions aboriginals claims is racist. Its such an immature take. Really, grow up. Do some real research on what racism really is, no dont go to the echo chamber like tik tok tok and get edumedcated. Not agreeing with everything aboriginals say is not racist, you child. Shane robinson such an aboriginal name, what part is aboriginal? Your left toe?? Oh I know, its your political views and opinions Just skip over the comments I made about aboriginals being the best afl players, as it does not run with your new opinion of me, because somewhere in your lizard brain that now must be racist to. And everyone knows if there is one opinion that does not match up with the woke people everything else about them must also be shit.
Players can jump all over their opponents' back and use them like a ladder to take a 'speccie' (spectacualr) mark, as long as they don't put their hand/s on their back or shoulder while they do it. Watch them - they jump that high without touching them with their hands. They are incredibly athletic to do that, and very tough to come down hard from 6-8 feet high.
3:41 this one is embarrassing because the North Melbourne player (blue/white) is a the holder of the most games played record, being run down by a comparative new guy…
The 1st one. He had a set shot with a guy on the mark, but he chose to play on, that means the other player can tackle him and get the ball, so he did tackle him, he was pinned for holding the ball/ incorrect disposal of it, that then means the other side gets the ball. So instead of getting a run up to a unimpeded goal, and 6 points the other team got the ball.
Mason Cox is the player for Collingwood in the first clip, and i think you would be to know that he is American and moved from there to here to start fresh in a new sport. Amazing character and what a story. The push was because Jy Simpson thought he had insanely large balls and tried to get around someone who is 6'11, but Cox said 'nah mate fuck you' and gave him a push to get back at him ig. If u watch games regularly you will understand more, as its hard to put into words.
The Hawks aren't Tasmanian. They just sell home games there for a bit of money and to expand their supporter base. About a month ago Tasmania were granted an AFL license for a team in the coming years.
In the first play the player with the ball was tackled when he had prior opportunity to get rid of the ball, so a free kick to the opposing player. That player was then legally allowed to push the other player away with his arms as the penalty was given and there is a no go zone of ten metres around that point where the penalty was given until the kick is taken or the player moves off the mark or time runs down for the penalty. The pushed player was within that ten metres so if he wasn't moving smartly away another penalty could be given fifty metres closer to the goalposts. kick. The other player was just helping him move quickly away
1:05 The push is to colloquially 'rub salt in the wound' cause the North Melbourne player (player in the white guernsey) had attempted to run around the Collingwood player and fubbed it by not disposing of the ball correctly. Hence the ball was awarded to the Collingwood player
Hi Ryan, The 2 taller middle posts = goal posts The 2 outer shorter posts = behind posts Goals are scored by kicking the ball through the 2 goal posts. The ball must not be touched in any way by another player, and though it may touch the ground, it must not touch the post. A goal is worth 6 points. If a ball goes through the goal posts, after touching any player on the ground, or is propelled through by hand rather than foot, a behind is awarded, which is worth 1 point. If the ball hits the goal post, or goes between the goal post and the behind post, then a behind is awarded (1 point). No points are awarded for hitting the behind posts and the ball will be ruled out of bounds. If the ball hits a behind post without bouncing it is deemed "out on the full" and the opposing team takes a free kick from next to the behind post. You can also earn one point for running the ball across the opposing team's goal line.
When the goal umpire signals with a single hand that means it was only one point, when he signals with two hands that is a goal which is worth 6 points. If the ball is touched off the boot it means the opposition player has touched the ball before it goes through the goals which is only one point. The umpire will first signal that it was touched by tapping his hands over his head and then signal with one hand in a pointing motion to say that it is a behind or one point.
he got caught with the ball so the other guy gets a free kick from the spot he tackled. The players try to move them further back by pushing and shoving so they either gain or lose some ground (depending on who is pushing who) I think
The guy that pushed ..is mason cox..the American playing AFL...ryan...[ mason cox don't believe in never ] is hes great story on him..please react to that..ya goofy m8te from Australia
In the first play, a shot for goal (player 1) had a choice, he could either try and kick a goal from where he was on that angle, 2: he could have kicked the ball to someone else who was on a better angle or 3 : he could try to fool the player (player 2) from the other team into thinking he was going to try to kick the goal but plays on to put himself into a better position to kick a running goal himself. If you have to think about options 2 & 3 then clearly you knew the angel was to difficult to put the ball through the sticks (Goal posts). The mark (catch) of the ball was awarded by the umpire, the player held it long enough for the "Mark" to be awarded and the player who did the pushing was just pissed that that was the case. It was not out of play.
When the goal umpire puts two arms down with the pointed fingers it's a goal 6 points. When they only put one arm down with the pointed finger it's a behind 1 point. If the ball is touched and goes into the two middle posts that's only worth 1 point "a behind". If they kick and misses the two middle posts and goes between the the other two on the outside it's a behind 1 point. If they miss all together and ball gets kecked outside of the field line on the full it's a free kick to the other team. If the ball is bounced over the line or tapped out or touched in anyway then its a throw in from the field umpire. They do this by standing on the sideline where it went out and throw it over their head backwards as far as they can. This way any player can then go for the ball once thrown in.
Fans immediately behind and within earshot of the goal umpire, have been known to call out "how big's your d*** ump" just as his fingers reach the horizontal position. If look you carefully you might occasionally notice a smirk on the umpire's face and his fingers finish a little further apart than normal!
The GWS Giants were training at my gym once and they were standing in a group when I had to squeeze past and I was about just above their elbows. I’m 152cm (5ft)
The goal umpire pints with both arms for a goal and one arm for a point. You don’t see the flags they use in the clips. 1 goal is 6 points, and 1 point is 1 point
Ryan, the team footy jumper you have is Hawthorn who often play their games in Tasmania Just watch the footy and enjoy the skill, you should start reading the RULES AND PLAYS.
2:16 Is the West Coast Eagles (blue and yellow) against the Hawthorn Hawks (brown and gold). Hawthorn is in Melbourne, Victoria, not Tasmania. The Hawks have an association with Tasmania, and there was talk of moving the Hawks down to Tasmania permanently, but instead the AFL have recently announced that Tasmania has recieved the 19th AFL licence, meaning they will get a brand new team. Also, by touching the ball, the defender has basically robbed the Eagles' player of the goal. A ball that is touched before it goes in goal is only worth 1 point, as opposed to 6 for the goal. It's the same at 5:30 where the single finger point by the goal umpire indicates a point. A two handed signal is for a goal, and is why the umpires do that gesture, to indicate what has been scored.
Hey Ryan, it's not a dribble, it's called a bounce. Due to the shape of the footy it takes skill to bounce it back to yourself and for it not to bounce away. The rules of football state that a player running on the field with the ball must take a running bounce at least once every 15 metres. When a player handballs to another player, they must hold the ball in the palm of one hand and strike with the clenched fist of their other hand. The ball cannot be struck with an open hand nor may it be thrown in the air and hit with a fist. Throwing the ball is also illegal.
"so why did he push him"(0:45)...........because he can. simples. It's Aussie Rules Football Ryan, if you get caught with the ball (and you had prior opportunity to offload) it's a free kick to your opponent. Mason Cox just gave him a little push afterwards to let him know about it. Just to illustrate the point. Mason Cox is American you know (did you know that ?) we had to teach him the game and then he took to it with gusto.
He played on with the free kick to try and create a better angle for the kick to goal and got caught tackled because he played on. If you try and do this the person on the mark can then go for the player who has the ball. The player who tackled him caught him with the ball and he didn't realise it so there for the player tackling get a free kick. Then player pushed him for two reasons. One to push him back to where the penalty "free kick" is and the other to say you fuck'd up. 😜
"Touched off the boot = if the ball is touched in-flight no mark, or GOAL are awarded. The umpire indicates- A Behind (1 point) with 1 hand and pointed finger. A GOAL (6points) Is indicated with both hands, pointing with pointer finger). An old Australian crowd joke is to yell out to the umpire "How big's ya dick?" just before a goal is given. (Not so much any more).
G'day mate. I know this is completely off topic but the thought came to me and I thought to share it with you. Just a little tidbit about Australia that you may, or may not be aware of... Homes here do not have basements or cellars. ✌
Goal umpire signals. Two hands finger pointing is a goal. One hand is a point. If opposition touch the ball after it’s kicked and before crossing the goal line it’s a point only.
AFL's most humiliating moments have only just happened, by getting political and supporting the "voice", go woke go broke, AFL will feel the pinch like bud lite🤣
Seriously. AFL has had more aboriginal players than any other sport in the country. Aboriginal people are like 3% of the population. Their contribution to afl is way above that. Good on the AFL for backing their players.
A goal must come from an offence player's kick. If it's intercepted by the smallest touch off any player's finger, it isn't a goal, but a behind and only worth 1 point. This wasn't shown, and rarely happens, but if the ball goes past the the goal line off a defender's boot, its still a behind. There are no "own goals" like soccer.
I tried to watch a game of NFL and in 25 minutes there was only 5 minutes of play, the rest was all discussing strategy. Its like war, in the way they are approaching a game. A game with to muvh stopping and starting is frustrating. I love a flowing streamline game, like rugby or footy.... baseball. Yeah even though saying that I love cricket, I prefer slow pace than start, stop, wait.
The jumper that is gold and brown strips is hawthorn They are a Melbourne based team from Victoria. Tasmania and Northern Territory does not have an AFL team
The rules are not that complicated 😂 look up Dustin Martin Richmond tigers, gifted player., Aboriginal footballers are very tough and durable than most other players 😊❤
Mason Cox, in the black and white from the first clip is American. He shoved the other player and probably ribbed him for kicking into the man on the mark because it is embarrassing.
Half of the country watches NRL and pays little to no attention to AFL and visa versa. The AFL NRL rivalry is toxic don’t get into that but NRL is worth a look It’s a huge game in NSW and Queensland being the home of the game .
Hawthorn is not Tasmanian ,they play four home games in Tasmania a season in part of a deal. Tasmania will have a new 700 million dollar stadium (with a roof) by 2029 ,and its own AFL Tasmanian team by 2028. The first 250 million for the new stadium in Hobart, was announced by the Prime Minster of Australia in Hobart a couple of days before the 2023 budget.The new 19th AFL team will most likely be called the (Tassie devils)
The first one, he played on which meant that he could be tackled. Which he was, by Mason Cox (in the black and white), who is the only American in the game. It is embarrassing because he is so tall and typically rather slow. The push is what we might call the American arrogance coming out (sorry). He gets lippy but hasn't always had the skills to go with it. "Touched off the boot" literally means that, someone touched it after it left the boot. To count as a goal it has to come off the attackers foot last. If it is touched by thing other than that, including the post, it only counts as a behind.
Go the Hawks! 💓 Essendon don't cheer for Carlton! 😏 More please! 👏 Huh? More Tony Lockett, more Barry Hall, more Buddy Franklin! 🙋 Less Mason Cox! 😂 Bye! 👍
Good to see the female goal umpire. A lot of Ozzie women have been just as crazy about sport as men for a long time, especially about the big games. But it took a disgracefully long time for money for professional women's AFL and cricket leagues to be put together. Sports journalists was a boy's club for decades too, even though women had been medalling in Olympics, swimming, Netball, Gymnastics, Hockey etc for a century before they were let near the microphones.
The first guy you saw in the black and white team colours (Collingwood) was Mason Cox, a 7ft American from Texas, the only American player in the AFL.

Therefore, in this case, it was a behind (worth 1 point, rather than a goal, worth 6 points) and was signalled as such by the umpire (they use two hands to signal a goal and one to signal a point. They also follow this up by waving two flags for a goal and one flag for a behind).
They train to take "speckies/screamers", so they know to roll over as they hit the ground after taking a mark to minimise the risk of injury.
Wardrobe malfunctions - yes they do happen sometimes. Usually just the underpants are revealed but there was one the other day that exposed someones bare cheeks.
If you enjoy AFL so much, Ryan, maybe you could do some live reactions to some games?
We want a team. We can't afford a brand new stadium. AFL have screwed with us.
It's great to see people from other nations enjoying the Aussie flavour. I just want to add a little extra info to your growing knowledge bank. We have two major football games that we follow. AFL and NRL. It seems to me that AFL is massive in Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania and Western Australia. While NRL is massive in New South Wales and Queensland. You get fans of both games in all the states. On the international stage we also play Rugby Union. New Zealand also play AFL, NRL and Rugby Union. When the Wallabies play the All Blacks it's a great excuse to hook up with your Kiwi mates for a BBQ and take the piss out of each other.
@3:20 when you said to fall down when someone jumps on you, that is called tunnelling the player and is a free kick against the player who did that, it could also be very dangerous for you and the opponent.
The lines you come up with on the spot makes me laugh 😂🇦🇺
Huh I often watch your videos and I love watching AFL reactions! Glad I’m getting another crossover!
Tippa is amazing truly his agility, his speed and his passion for the game. 🇦🇺🎸⚡️🤘🏿🤘🏼💋❤️
Love to a see a whole team of aboriginals in the afl, they would be unstopable. The Winmars, Longs, Tipungwutis, kicketts (before he got his nickers in a twist) what they can do with the ball is amazing. Back in the 90s early 00s they turned footy into magic. Best aboriginal duo were Long and kickett, when there are aboriginals on the same team their brains conect and know what the team mate is going to do before they do it. One of the best examples od that is in one final long and kickett did not have to look where they were to handball they just were on a another level.
@@cypherglitch I'd love to see an Aboriginal (sorry, but I hate the First Nations Americanisation crap) team, but our mob generally lack height. Adam Goodes, Polly Farmer would make a great old style Ruck / Rover combination, but if we where to try and build a spine using current players - we'll be struggling. Mind y7ou, back when I was a boy playing in state competition, the lads from FNQ and NT where always faster and had great skills, way better than mine, but they tended to move to Rugby League after junior comps - a great loss to Aussie Rules :(
@Shane Robinson same here I hate that crap. "We are here to recognise the original owners of this land.....blah blah" they forgot that the aborignals of the past said they dont own land because it belongs to everyone. Understandable seeing aboriginals had no written language and everything was passed down in story mode. But they must have some amazing skills, telling the stories exactly as they were told for how ever long they were here for. They cant decide, was it 10,000 or was it 20,000 40,000? Now its up to 50,000 yrs they lived in australia for.
My cousins in W.A are land developers, and the only hurdle the face every single time they want to build on land they purchased, they need an aborignal to survey the land to make sure it is not spiritually significant to the aboriginals. They even found an arrow head conveniently just laying on the ground, and it was said it was proof aboriginals were here upto 50,000 yrs ago. My cousin said they just want to be paid and they bugger off happy as larry and leave without any more communication.... until the next time. What a shity scam backed by the state government.
First time I ever heard aboriginals using bow and arrows. Even if it is true, it shows aborignal history have lost technology and have gone back in their weapons technology, and some how forgot to add that in the stories being told to each generation. 50,000 yrs and all you have to show for it is a stick that returns to you, and a hollowed out piece of wood that makes sounds. Live in huts wearing loin cloths, except tassie aboriginals that used possum fur.
I still admire their foot skills. Dont realy know the rugby players by name. I never knew aborignals went to the dark side to play rugby.
@@cypherglitch Well, i think you've misinterpreted my comment - I just dislike the term "First Nations People" when describing Australia's Aboriginal people. I prefer to be described as an Indigenous Australian, and have my heritage recognised.
Anyhow, thanks for exposing yourself as a racist twat, you're rant was rather humorous, in as much as you exposed your racism without wearing a pointy white hat.
@Shane Robinson oohh someones nickers in a twist. spoken by someone who is lives in a echo chamber repeating what he hears and only listens to people who go along with your opinions. Get some new material.
lol what did I say that was factually wrong. What did I say that was racist? You will not be able to use fact and or logic to explain why you think I am racist.
No one now can not agree what the term means now. That word gets thrown around so much it losing all meaning, especially when they dont back it up.. where did I say I hate Aboriginals? Was I wrong about the arrow head, the loin cloths, huts, spears????? All I questioned is how can they keep such an accurate historical account just by passing stories stories down verbally for 40,000 50,000 yrs? No one can. Where were the posts saying "this is the traditional land owners of......" ?!?! So the aboriginals never believed the land belong to all!?!? Please show me where were I lied, what I made up, what I said was racist... cant?? Np, It happeneds Every single time I ask people to prove their claim, I never hear from them again. Ahh isee your emotions just got the better of you. Wow after one comment you seem to know so much about me. How about not jumping to conclusions and judging someone on one comment.
So anyone who questions aboriginals claims is racist. Its such an immature take. Really, grow up. Do some real research on what racism really is, no dont go to the echo chamber like tik tok tok and get edumedcated.
Not agreeing with everything aboriginals say is not racist, you child.
Shane robinson such an aboriginal name, what part is aboriginal? Your left toe?? Oh I know, its your political views and opinions
Just skip over the comments I made about aboriginals being the best afl players, as it does not run with your new opinion of me, because somewhere in your lizard brain that now must be racist to. And everyone knows if there is one opinion that does not match up with the woke people everything else about them must also be shit.
"Tiny little man just sat on Max's head." Classic commentary.
As an Aussie, I really wish America would embrace this sport more...it's awesome once you understand the rules
this is the funniest thing ive seen in ages, so good seeing americans react to afl
Players can jump all over their opponents' back and use them like a ladder to take a 'speccie' (spectacualr) mark, as long as they don't put their hand/s on their back or shoulder while they do it. Watch them - they jump that high without touching them with their hands. They are incredibly athletic to do that, and very tough to come down hard from 6-8 feet high.
''What's with the push ? ''
Why not 🤣
3:41 this one is embarrassing because the North Melbourne player (blue/white) is a the holder of the most games played record, being run down by a comparative new guy…
The 1st one. He had a set shot with a guy on the mark, but he chose to play on, that means the other player can tackle him and get the ball, so he did tackle him, he was pinned for holding the ball/ incorrect disposal of it, that then means the other side gets the ball. So instead of getting a run up to a unimpeded goal, and 6 points the other team got the ball.
Mason Cox is the player for Collingwood in the first clip, and i think you would be to know that he is American and moved from there to here to start fresh in a new sport. Amazing character and what a story.
The push was because Jy Simpson thought he had insanely large balls and tried to get around someone who is 6'11, but Cox said 'nah mate fuck you' and gave him a push to get back at him ig. If u watch games regularly you will understand more, as its hard to put into words.
Mason is also about to be the first American afl player with 100 games.
@@lozinozz7567 Doesn't mean much when he's the first American to play regardless
Mason Cox is now an Aussie
@@pitchen I don't really care as he plays for Collingwood, I thought Ryan would be interested.
The Hawks aren't Tasmanian. They just sell home games there for a bit of money and to expand their supporter base.
About a month ago Tasmania were granted an AFL license for a team in the coming years.
In the first play the player with the ball was tackled when he had prior opportunity to get rid of the ball, so a free kick to the opposing player. That player was then legally allowed to push the other player away with his arms as the penalty was given and there is a no go zone of ten metres around that point where the penalty was given until the kick is taken or the player moves off the mark or time runs down for the penalty. The pushed player was within that ten metres so if he wasn't moving smartly away another penalty could be given fifty metres closer to the goalposts. kick. The other player was just helping him move quickly away
That very first one with the tall guy, that's mason cox he's a texan
1:05 The push is to colloquially 'rub salt in the wound' cause the North Melbourne player (player in the white guernsey) had attempted to run around the Collingwood player and fubbed it by not disposing of the ball correctly. Hence the ball was awarded to the Collingwood player
Hi Ryan,
The 2 taller middle posts = goal posts
The 2 outer shorter posts = behind posts
Goals are scored by kicking the ball through the 2 goal posts. The ball must not be touched in any way by another player, and though it may touch the ground, it must not touch the post. A goal is worth 6 points.
If a ball goes through the goal posts, after touching any player on the ground, or is propelled through by hand rather than foot, a behind is awarded, which is worth 1 point.
If the ball hits the goal post, or goes between the goal post and the behind post, then a behind is awarded (1 point).
No points are awarded for hitting the behind posts and the ball will be ruled out of bounds.
If the ball hits a behind post without bouncing it is deemed "out on the full" and the opposing team takes a free kick from next to the behind post.
You can also earn one point for running the ball across the opposing team's goal line.
🤣🤣😂😂 5:53 "tiny little man"
When the goal umpire signals with a single hand that means it was only one point, when he signals with two hands that is a goal which is worth 6 points. If the ball is touched off the boot it means the opposition player has touched the ball before it goes through the goals which is only one point. The umpire will first signal that it was touched by tapping his hands over his head and then signal with one hand in a pointing motion to say that it is a behind or one point.
he got caught with the ball so the other guy gets a free kick from the spot he tackled. The players try to move them further back by pushing and shoving so they either gain or lose some ground (depending on who is pushing who) I think
The guy that pushed ..is mason cox..the American playing AFL...ryan...[ mason cox don't believe in never ] is hes great story on him..please react to that..ya goofy m8te from Australia
In the first play, a shot for goal (player 1) had a choice, he could either try and kick a goal from where he was on that angle, 2: he could have kicked the ball to someone else who was on a better angle or 3 : he could try to fool the player (player 2) from the other team into thinking he was going to try to kick the goal but plays on to put himself into a better position to kick a running goal himself. If you have to think about options 2 & 3 then clearly you knew the angel was to difficult to put the ball through the sticks (Goal posts). The mark (catch) of the ball was awarded by the umpire, the player held it long enough for the "Mark" to be awarded and the player who did the pushing was just pissed that that was the case. It was not out of play.
When the goal umpire puts two arms down with the pointed fingers it's a goal 6 points.
When they only put one arm down with the pointed finger it's a behind 1 point. If the ball is touched and goes into the two middle posts that's only worth 1 point "a behind".
If they kick and misses the two middle posts and goes between the the other two on the outside it's a behind 1 point.
If they miss all together and ball gets kecked outside of the field line on the full it's a free kick to the other team. If the ball is bounced over the line or tapped out or touched in anyway then its a throw in from the field umpire. They do this by standing on the sideline where it went out and throw it over their head backwards as far as they can. This way any player can then go for the ball once thrown in.
When you finally come to Aus plan it during the AFL season (March-End of Sep) so you can check out a game!
Fans immediately behind and within earshot of the goal umpire, have been known to call out "how big's your d*** ump" just as his fingers reach the horizontal position. If look you carefully you might occasionally notice a smirk on the umpire's face and his fingers finish a little further apart than normal!
happy 200th game this weekend to Toby Greene! I flew across Australia from Perth to watch GWS vs Geelong…..go the orange army 🧡🖤🧡🖤
The GWS Giants were training at my gym once and they were standing in a group when I had to squeeze past and I was about just above their elbows. I’m 152cm (5ft)
The goal umpire pints with both arms for a goal and one arm for a point. You don’t see the flags they use in the clips. 1 goal is 6 points, and 1 point is 1 point
Ryan, the team footy jumper you have is Hawthorn who often play their games in Tasmania
Just watch the footy and enjoy the skill, you should start reading the RULES AND PLAYS.
The first was 6 foot 8 American, Mason Cox
Six ten or eleven I thought
2:16 Is the West Coast Eagles (blue and yellow) against the Hawthorn Hawks (brown and gold). Hawthorn is in Melbourne, Victoria, not Tasmania. The Hawks have an association with Tasmania, and there was talk of moving the Hawks down to Tasmania permanently, but instead the AFL have recently announced that Tasmania has recieved the 19th AFL licence, meaning they will get a brand new team.
Also, by touching the ball, the defender has basically robbed the Eagles' player of the goal. A ball that is touched before it goes in goal is only worth 1 point, as opposed to 6 for the goal. It's the same at 5:30 where the single finger point by the goal umpire indicates a point. A two handed signal is for a goal, and is why the umpires do that gesture, to indicate what has been scored.
Hey Ryan, it's not a dribble, it's called a bounce. Due to the shape of the footy it takes skill to bounce it back to yourself and for it not to bounce away.
The rules of football state that a player running on the field with the ball must take a running bounce at least once every 15 metres.
When a player handballs to another player, they must hold the ball in the palm of one hand and strike with the clenched fist of their other hand. The ball cannot be struck with an open hand nor may it be thrown in the air and hit with a fist. Throwing the ball is also illegal.
You could wear your footy gernsey while you watch these AFL clips ... adds to the atmosphere
"so why did he push him"(0:45)...........because he can. simples. It's Aussie Rules Football Ryan, if you get caught with the ball (and you had prior opportunity to offload) it's a free kick to your opponent. Mason Cox just gave him a little push afterwards to let him know about it. Just to illustrate the point. Mason Cox is American you know (did you know that ?) we had to teach him the game and then he took to it with gusto.
If the ball is touched by anyone it is a point
Fun fact, AFL players actually refer to jerseys as guernseys. Pronounced "gernsey"
😂😂😂😂 love it good ol aussie footy 😁
He played on with the free kick to try and create a better angle for the kick to goal and got caught tackled because he played on. If you try and do this the person on the mark can then go for the player who has the ball.
The player who tackled him caught him with the ball and he didn't realise it so there for the player tackling get a free kick.
Then player pushed him for two reasons. One to push him back to where the penalty "free kick" is and the other to say you fuck'd up. 😜
With the goal umpire, 1 finger is a point, 2 fingers is a goal. Tap of the post means it hit the outter posts and no point.
"Touched off the boot = if the ball is touched in-flight no mark, or GOAL are awarded.
The umpire indicates- A Behind (1 point) with 1 hand and pointed finger.
A GOAL (6points) Is indicated with both hands, pointing with pointer finger).
An old Australian crowd joke is to yell out to the umpire "How big's ya dick?" just before a goal is given. (Not so much any more).
G'day mate.
I know this is completely off topic but the thought came to me and I thought to share it with you.
Just a little tidbit about Australia that you may, or may not be aware of...
Homes here do not have basements or cellars.
✌
Finally I'm the first comment! I love your videos! :D
Goal umpire signals. Two hands finger pointing is a goal. One hand is a point. If opposition touch the ball after it’s kicked and before crossing the goal line it’s a point only.
Two hands is a goal, one hand is a side.
When player is tackled with the ball in play, the opposition gets a free kick.
AFL's most humiliating moments have only just happened, by getting political and supporting the "voice", go woke go broke, AFL will feel the pinch like bud lite🤣
Holy shit what an embarrassing comment
Seriously. AFL has had more aboriginal players than any other sport in the country. Aboriginal people are like 3% of the population. Their contribution to afl is way above that. Good on the AFL for backing their players.
@@heartshapedisle politics doesn't belong in sport
Hey Aussie, you know the Indigenous are Aussie born and bred as well 😅
@@Mirrorgirl492 exactly, we are all the same
4:44 Love the palm. Nah mate.
The dogs are the best go dogs we are going to win it all go dogs 🔴⚪️🔵
1:40 That’s Harrison Petty 😡😡
There is not a Tasmanian team and the one where the umpire put 1finger out was a behind which is worth one point
A goal must come from an offence player's kick. If it's intercepted by the smallest touch off any player's finger, it isn't a goal, but a behind and only worth 1 point. This wasn't shown, and rarely happens, but if the ball goes past the the goal line off a defender's boot, its still a behind. There are no "own goals" like soccer.
They are tall in offroad basketball.
Touched off the boot means the opposition touched the ball eith their hand after the kick. It is only worth one point instead of six.
I wonder if he heard about what happened few days ago in north west Aus…
I tried to watch a game of NFL and in 25 minutes there was only 5 minutes of play, the rest was all discussing strategy. Its like war, in the way they are approaching a game.
A game with to muvh stopping and starting is frustrating. I love a flowing streamline game, like rugby or footy.... baseball.
Yeah even though saying that I love cricket, I prefer slow pace than start, stop, wait.
It's funny watching you because you have no idea what's going on 😂
I wanted to see the footage of Jobe Watson having a chunder. oh well, maybe next time.
The jumper that is gold and brown strips is hawthorn They are a Melbourne based team from Victoria. Tasmania and Northern Territory does not have an AFL team
The confusion is that Tasmania sponsors Hawthorn, that’s why the Tasmania tag is on the top
Weightmans leap on gawn epic bulldogs
Hey ryan, are you able to do NRL Best moments I would love this
lol its all real buddy
You can jump on people’s backs and mark the ball. If you don’t mark it it’s a push in the back and a free kick
The rules are not that complicated 😂 look up Dustin Martin Richmond tigers, gifted player., Aboriginal footballers are very tough and durable than most other players 😊❤
Watch a game this week I think you will like it
Mason Cox, in the black and white from the first clip is American. He shoved the other player and probably ribbed him for kicking into the man on the mark because it is embarrassing.
When ya coming down so we can take you to a game? Go TIGERS!
"What's the push for?" - a push is the very least of an AFL players worries mate!
means the ball got touched off the boot
also we don't have a tasmanian team yet
Half of the country watches NRL and pays little to no attention to AFL and visa versa. The AFL NRL rivalry is toxic don’t get into that but NRL is worth a look It’s a huge game in NSW and Queensland being the home of the game .
Total skill. No need for enormous shoulder pads. Come over to real sport. And I'm an Essendon supporter.
Thats hawthorne
Ryan, when are you going to read your comments sections
It's GOOD ARVO
Please take notice of the genuine Australian people who live in Australia 🇦🇺
while Hawthorne is technically a Tasmanian team now it is not Tasmanian, they do have allot of us Tassie's on their team though.
Hawthorn is not Tasmanian ,they play four home games in Tasmania a season in part of a deal. Tasmania will have a new 700 million dollar stadium (with a roof) by 2029 ,and its own AFL Tasmanian team by 2028. The first 250 million for the new stadium in Hobart, was announced by the Prime Minster of Australia in Hobart a couple of days before the 2023 budget.The new 19th AFL team will most likely be called the (Tassie devils)
React to the what is afl video to understand the game it’s quick but good
The first one, he played on which meant that he could be tackled. Which he was, by Mason Cox (in the black and white), who is the only American in the game. It is embarrassing because he is so tall and typically rather slow. The push is what we might call the American arrogance coming out (sorry). He gets lippy but hasn't always had the skills to go with it.
"Touched off the boot" literally means that, someone touched it after it left the boot. To count as a goal it has to come off the attackers foot last. If it is touched by thing other than that, including the post, it only counts as a behind.
Dude watch some state of origin(rugby league) punch ups. This is just aerial ping pong.
2:20 that ain’t Tasmania they don’t have an AFL team it is the West Coast Eagles (Perth) & Hawthorn
lmao hog warts
Hey bud if you wanna watch a game sometime I'll explain all the rules, it's a lot easier than just trying to figure it out lol
Thats 1 point two fingers 6 points
Go the Hawks! 💓 Essendon don't cheer for Carlton! 😏 More please! 👏 Huh? More Tony Lockett, more Barry Hall, more Buddy Franklin! 🙋 Less Mason Cox! 😂 Bye! 👍
Well, that’s embarrassing - your vid froze 😂
Good to see the female goal umpire. A lot of Ozzie women have been just as crazy about sport as men for a long time, especially about the big games. But it took a disgracefully long time for money for professional women's AFL and cricket leagues to be put together. Sports journalists was a boy's club for decades too, even though women had been medalling in Olympics, swimming, Netball, Gymnastics, Hockey etc for a century before they were let near the microphones.
