Australian Rules football was developed in the 1850s as a way to keep cricketers fit during winter. It's technically the oldest codified football code in the world.
@Michael RogersGo away captain pedantic.
@Michael Rogers Kids grow up playing footy. Almost everyone knows what footy is. For those that don't you tell them it's "football" ("footy" - short for "football", get it?). If still confused, you tell them you play Aussie Rules. I've never heard a 12-year old kid say he plays Australian Football. He'd get a look like, "who's this pretentious little prick?"
With geelong and Melbourne being the oldest teams. Go cats

@@cameronbarrow6834 We are Geelong the greatest team of all. We are Geelong we're always on the ball. Our banners fly high, from dawn too dark, down at Kardinia park.
Afl has been around over 130 years. The scoring showed 20 goals =120pnt ,+10 behinds=10pnt which is the total of 130points.
yep, AFL is older than NFL
Actually australian rules celebrated 150 years in 2008, its now 2021 so its 163 years old
Aussie rules the code and sport has been around about 160 years. AFL has only been around 30 years - the VFL became the AFL in 1990. It's oldest club, Melbourne is 163 years old this year, the same official age as the code.
@@bluecedar7914 I couldn't remember how old it was but knew it was over 130years. Thanks for the heads up mate. I'm more a rugby league fan being that I'm a Queenslander.
1 goal = 6 points. Multiply the goal column by 6 to get the score
Lads I've been to a Raiders game and I've been a quite a few AFL games. That raiders game didn't even come close to the crowd noise you get from AFL.
Imagine 60,000 nutcases in their feet losing their minds in unison because the umps missed a call.
I was thinking the exact same thing
@@KrustyVlogs I went to a Prelim final at a sold out S.C.G which holds 48 000 people, the crowd was 50/50~ split and the noise was deafening. The passion that we have for AFL is unreal.
I was at a Semi-Final last year with 85,000 other nutcases - the noise was DEAFENING when my team kicked the winning goal with 2 minutes to go
@@karendownes4864 agree i first posted this 3 years ago. Since then the biggest match I went to was Geelong vs Collingwood Rd 1 last year. 86,595 people. Ollie Henry who had essentially defected from Collingwood during the off season, thought he had an easy goal in the goal square before Moore ran him down. The roar after was the loudest noise I have ever heard, I was partially deaf for a while after.
All those Aussie guys over there punting in the NFL have been trying to tell you guys for years that they never played rugby , at last message getting through
Yep, although Rugby League kickers are getting really good now too, though in AFL every player must be able to kick.
AFL fans are absolutely insane! Such an amazing atmosphere. The Grand Final actually usually has around 100,000 in attendance.
AFL fans are boring as F, 100 thousands in a final and they still don't make enough noise, I've been to 3 grand finals and they don't even compare to a normal champions league, Europa league qualifyer. I can go to a Eastern European basketball game that has a better atmosphere

I WANT A BALL
@@KrustyVlogs the brand that makes the game balls is called Sherrin, they ship internationally from their website
Was the best till avout 2005 it started getting ugly when paul roos sydney swans started yhe flooding style we see today resulting in no skill and no one can kick 50 meyers anymore... ley alone kick a goal... the scores are lame hence even more rule changes to ruin the sport
🤣🤣🤣 Nrl
Oath mate
As an Australian I love that our sport is getting some recognition internationally. Best spectator sport in the world. I suggest you guys watch a full game. The finals start in a few weeks. Finals footy is usually much more intense. Best time to start watching.
It's bloody amazing, I was nearly crying watching this, seeing how it's getting more recognition, I'm so proud of 1 of our national sports.
AFL is older than most sports. It was started to keep Cricket players fit during the off season. That is why the Field is massive. They use a cricket field for most games.
example the MCG is AFL’s biggest stadium and stands for Melbourne Cricket Ground
The NFL should try their game with just 22 players, given the small size of their playing surface maybe an on field team size of 15 players a side with rest on the bench. And give up that wacky idea of swapping out whole teams of players
nothing makes me happier than watching americans react to afl, something we all grew up playing
First ytb being an Aussie I love that this sport is being recognized around the world
Respect i love the sport
@@KrustyVlogs you should definitely react to AFL’s best players like Patrick Dangerfield, Dustin Martin, Scott Pendlebury, Lance “Buddy” Franklin, Gary Ablett Snr and Jnr and more.
Go the crows!!
they measure the 16 yards to bounce the ball as roughly 10 steps. It's not strictly enforced, but if a player has taken 15-20 steps without bouncing the ball, the umpire will blow the whistle & award a free kick to the other team. Some players will bounce the ball more frequently during a long run to avoid getting caught. But players will often get through a whole game without bouncing the ball because they're only taking a few steps before handpassing or kicking it to a team mate
“Sixteen yards” sounds so precise it’s misleading. The rule is 15m which implies there’s 2-3 meters give and take.
The way American football works, every yard is fought for, while in Aussie Rules nobody would think it’s a strategic mistake to pass the ball backwards three meters to an open teammate.
The “every yard counts” mindset has been ingrained into those players’ minds.
@@SonnyBubba that's right. The switch play is common in AFL, soccer, hockey, even basketball. Retreat backwards and pass the ball quickly crossfield to take advantage of weak defense on the other side
If you all want to make a good reaction video you should give yourselves one week to try to learn how to bounce a ball while running.
Your NFL pigskin is a similar shape. You should all each record yourselves trying to learn for a week and then react to each other.
I'd be seriously impressed if any of you are able to teach yourselves to run and bounce at close to full speed in a week. Whoever can do that would get plenty of respect from everyone down here.
"Its got running " players run 8/9 miles per game. The best recent effort was 11+ miles in a game.
There are currently approx. 65 Aust. punters in US colleges and 4 in the NFL. 6 of the last 7 Ray Guy Award winners for the best punter in College Football, have been Aussies.
AFL players can be any size the smallest in 5'6" and the current tallest is 6'11", and he is American, watch "Mason Cox - Don't Believe in Never" good short vid on his journey to AFL..
AFL is played non -stop for 4x20mins qtrs. plus time-on, so approx. 30 minutes each Qtr.
That's why they are the fittest footballers in the world, all players have to have all the skills, kicking, handballing, tackling, marking, bouncing, Bumping, etc. as well as toughness & courage.
"Bouncing it every 16 yards," as we use the metric system it is 15 metres (close enough to 16 yards), they don't measure it but most players judge it as about every 10 strides. The reason for the bounce is otherwise a very fast player could just take the ball and outrun everyone.
Scoring - 20- 10 -130 is 20 goals x 6 points, plus 10 points x1 point = 130.
Unlike soccer fans there are very few fights & fans are never segregated. Been going to the AFL most of my life I have seen very few fights among fans.
If you have time watch the "Full Replay of the 2018 Grand Final" - one of the best games ever, even if my team lost.
2018 was epic mate. Even if my boys lost I'd say it was one of the greatest grand finals as well. Props to you mate 👍🇦🇺
@@wce05308 GO PIES
Go eagles!
Another awesome final is the GWS v Bulldog’s Prelim in 2016. Voted by Aussies as the second best final ever. With the 4th best played a week later. Another good game to watch. It was the 2016 Grand Final. But get on to the 2021 games. There are some good matchups. (And some blow outs).
@@betteh170 voted by whom? Dogs fans?
We've had competition for punters for a while that have come from Australia. Ben Graham and Saverio Rocco have played for different teams in the NFL, and I want to say that one has even won a super bowl. Dustin Fletcher's son turned down the AFL to play college football. I'm not sure which university he's at, though. I'm from Nebraska, where the state religion is College Football. I saw my first AFL game in 1995. I haven't looked back. It is that fun to both watch and play, because the action is nonstop. You don't have that plan-play-stop-plan pattern that makes the NFL boring.
Now, to the scores. Think about it this way. Goals are like touchdowns, worth 6 points. Behinds are like the extra point, worth one point. But instead of lumping it all into the full score, you single out how many of those you've had, and then add it to the total. So for the score, if you had 20 goals, that would be 20 "touchdowns", at 6 points each. If you had 10 behinds, that's like 10 extra points. Then you add that together for the full score. 20*6= 120, + 10 = 130. That that's how the scores can get so close or absolute blowouts. Sometimes a game can be decided by a single point kicked after the clock runs out. And yes, some have even ended in a draw/tie, so the action goes down to the last second.
Finally, we have an AFL competition here in the US, called the USAFL. You'd like that. I'll get to more of that later, right now, I'll give you a choice: hits or marks. If you want hits, go with Here Comes the Boom: AFL's biggest hits. If you want marks, go with the Top 50 AFL marks of all time, and be sure to watch them all.
Welcome to the AFL!
Mason will be at University of Cincinnati on a full scholarship for My understanding.
I'm not a Essendon fan but I loved the way Fletcher played and he had a monster boot and it would have been nice to see the 3rd generation of Fletchers Don the sash.
Currently have a Footy Player at Seattle as Punter
@@stuartedwards6869 Yep Micheal Dickson was overlooked in his draft year for the AFL , then went to some NFL punters camp In Melbourne Australia and then was picked up by University of Texas.... To be honest of it wasn't for some Australians in the NFL I wouldn't pay much attention to it... I see the appeal of it but compared to the AFL the Play seems a bit slow for my liking but the players are athletically Beasts.
Can I ask you do any of the USAFL teams have there own full size grounds, because that must be a negative in trying to get the game off the ground in the US
@@darrenpants2700 Good question. I wouldn't call them full size "grounds", as true AFL grounds would be on a cricket oval, and cricket isn't played in the US. Closest Cricket oval I've been to is in Vancouver, Canada. So most of the sides here will play on grounds with plenty of space, and obviously, the larger, the better.
We have 48 teams in the USAFL, with more than half of them having a women's comp as well. www.usafl.com
I'd like to recommend the best of Eddie Betts.
And then the demolition derby where dale kickett took the heads of half the Eagles squad hahahaha

Well, not all AFL players are built like basketballers. That was a slight exaggeration. There are many players under 6ft in the AFL. Most of the smaller guys are either fast midfielders used for their speed and agility; or they're small forwards, whose job it is to play the ball at ground level (crucial when your taller forwards are being outplayed in the air) and also to act as a 'crumber' - to lurk around a pack of taller players and scoop up the loose ball when it hits the deck (literally picking up the crumbs) and take off towards the goals with it.
Bouncing the ball every 15 metres on the run is not exact obviously, but is usually around 10 strides, depending on the size of the player. You get penalized and lose possession of the ball if you run too far without bouncing.
With hits (also called bumps), it is the same as tackles - should be between the shoulders and the knees and ideally with the side of your body - called a 'hip and shoulder'. Contact with the head is penalized harshly, often with suspension, especially if it is deemed that the head-high contact could have been avoided. Sometimes it is unavoidable, like if the ball is loose and instead of kicking it off the ground, the attacking player bends down to scoop it up - that puts their head at about hip-height with their opponent, and if said opponent is already launching themselves at them, they may not be able to stop in time... players get knocked unconscious this way. Concussions are not uncommon.
I'm thrilled you're enjoying learning about this sport, it's the best sport in the world, as far as I'm concerned. The varying skills and athleticism required is incredible. Some midfielders run 10-15 kilometres each game and some of the forwards kick goals from incredibly tight angles, and incredible distances. Some can kick accurately from 60 metres. I hope you do check out some games this year, check out Mason Cox's story, he's an American who only took up the sport about 5 years ago but has been selected regularly to play in the senior squad by his team, the Collingwood Magpies. I'm not a fan of them, but credit where credit's due. He's done well to get to where he is for someone so inexperienced.
Stoked to see the fellas starting to warm to AFL. Got to react to a live game this season legends

Something I haven’t seen mentioned...
If you want to play AFL professionally, you have to be able to kick and handball both sides of the body. So, kick with both feet. Nearly every player has a preferred foot, but they can all kick very well on their ‘non-preferred’ side as well.
You guys don’t want to play AFL. The *best* players might make AUD$5-$10 million over their career. If you want fame and fortune, stick to NFL.
If you want to truly test your skills, speed, strength, endurance and toughness, in front of crowds, week in week out of 50k+, with finals crowds over 90k+, then maybe AFL is for you.
bullshit, how many times do you see someone not being able to kick or handball on their non preferred side, happens every game, only the elite, and that is why they are the elite can use both sides of the body. That is why you will see most players try and get to their preferred side
@@thebob3712 if you’re buddy franklin, you can get away with being super dominant on one side because your dominant side is that good. (He’s also good enough to shrug/evade tackles to get the time to wheel around). 90% of AFL players aren’t that good and wouldn’t get drafted if they can’t kick well with both feet.
I love the way you guys present this programme. The only catch is that sometimes I don't understand some of the words you use. Still I love to hear your accent and your enthusiasm. Thank you for giving coverage to our Aussie game - footy!
You guys need to go to Australia and go to an AFL match, it is insane
If you want to watch one of the best grand finals in recent years, have a look at the Collingwood vs West Coast Eagles 2018 grand final
Most AFL games are able to hold around 50 to 100 thousand people. That is a lot of people for us. Basically every kid growing up plays footy at like age 12
Age 12, I think you mean age 5
Gentlemen, welcome to the greatest sport in the world. I'm glad you watched the explanatory video. It is the opposite to every sport you know. The most athletic and skilled players from all nations, plus no protection like the NFL. Respect to all sports but this is hands down balls to the wall !!!!!
We also have women who play afl
For those of you having difficulties with the Score Lines. The first number is Goals - 6points each and the second is Behinds - 1 point each so 20 10 130 is (20x6)+10=130 or 20 Goals and 10 Behinds for a final score of 130 points total. Just multiply the first number by 6 and add the second to get the 3rd
Also love how they understand it a bit more now btw the football season starts in mid March and finishes late October so for u guys that would be spring to autumn
The grand final is in September that's the end of the season...
If you guys want to go watch a live game or try it out there is an AFL league in America. www.usafl.com there might be a team or two near you guys. There isnt another sport like it in the world where each player has to be able to do everything i.e kick handball, mark, tackle, defend, attack, run etc.
You know what else you guys are missing from AFL.
The team songs. Yep.
Every team has it's own song and as the league was founded in 1896 some of the songs are just brilliant.
They've all got an upbeat pacey brass sound and they play the winning team song at the end of every match.
My team the Sydney Swans has a banjo solo halfway through.
All that without pads, insane
To be honest guys, they’ve taken some liberties with the size of the players. It’s true some of the taller players are up to 6’10” or so but most aren’t that tall. One of the best parts of footy is that you can be any size and play. There is a position for anyone.
Yeah but none of them are 290 😂
@@KrustyVlogs - true.. at 290 you wouldn't get a spot on an AFL team... too slow... every player on an AFL team is virtually a utility player these days.
@@KrustyVlogs very true. The size of the ground and the running involved means they’ve got to be slimmer than that. Although I’ve played community football with guys who were easily 290 and over. Safe to say they didn’t move much.
@@KrustyVlogs some players 240 - 250, but its a speed/endurance type of game... basketball ball speed with soccer endurance

its a lot like basketball in that respect.. you dont want a 7ft 300lb point guard, but it would be fine for a center, and you have to consider the size of the field... how many 290 players could run 5-7 miles per game at speed
@@consciousbeing1188 i am not that slow though ;{
Guys there are 18 men on the field for each team. There is no separate offensive and defensive team; depending on which way your team is kicking, the opposing side will be either attacking or defending and each player will play both roles according to the direction of play. No padding except for a mouth guard and spmetiles a soft head guard, which is usually used after a player has experienced a concussion, It is fast as
Thanks for showcasing our national game!! Sometimes the fans are so loud, the players can't hear each other or the umpires on the field!
AFL was originated from the Traditional owners off the land indigenous people. They use to play a game called "Marngrook" that included kicking and catching (Marking) the ball. The guy who invented AFL apparently used to spend time with the Local Aboriginals who use to play the game Marngrook that's where the word "Mark" Originates from The game Marngrook used to be shortin to "Mark" which was what had to be done in the game 🙂
Final Score explanation. Collingwood scored 20 goals (6 points each) and 10 behinds (1 point each) for a total of 130 points. Carlton 18 goals, 12 behinds for 120 points.
Love the reaction boys. Can we get more afl reactions? Start with the 2017 and 2018 afl grand final highlights :)
Watch the full game replay easier to understand after seeing one.
2018 in particular! 💙💛💙
The scores are pretty simple
Collingwood 20 10 130
Carlton 18 12 120
The first numbers 20 and 18 are how many goals each team has gotten in the game,
The second numbers 10 and 12 are how many behinds each team has gotten in the game,
The last numbers 130 and 120 are what the final score is,
And remember a goal is worth 6 points and a behind is worth 1 point.
Hope this helped❤️
Btw Collingwood is the team I barrack for❤️❤️
I've always thought college running backs who don't make the NFL would be perfect to tryout for the AFL. Fast ball carriers are exactly what the AFL looks for.
Oh and my team the Melbourne Demons.. is one of the oldest sporting teams in the world established 1856.. and this year we sit top of the table 9 wins 0 losses.. go the mighty DEES!!!!
that gave me Goosebumps and I play this competitively every Saturday as a 15 year old
These games are so Lit 🔥 No Cap. Best atmosphere and always hype. Kiwi living in Brisbane Australia ✊🏾🇳🇿🇦🇺✊🏾
I want to visit so bad and watch a game one day
Best spectator sport in the world. It’s fast, physical, spectacular and high scoring. These dues run up to 20 miles in a game and hit hard. Incredible athletes.
What you also have to understand is the continuous high pace of the game....from start to finish it is frenetic.... and even goes up a gear in the last quarter if the game is close
So if it hasnt been explained, This is how the scoring works (according to the example given in the video)
Collingwood - 20 10 130
The 20 represents the goals (which is worth 6 points)... so 20 x 6 = 120
The 10 represents the points (which is worth 1 point) so 1 X 10 = 10
Add them both together and 120 + 10 = 130 (total Score)
Repeat the process for Carlton's score.
Hope that helps :)
I'm an AFL fan and I've played, it's a rush to experience either way 😁
for a bit of context with the final scoring system that you guys were confused about. if you look at collingwoods scoring: (20 10 130) the first column (20) is the number of goals the team has kicked, so 20 x 6 equals 120. the second column is the amount of behinds the team has kicked, so 10 x 1 equals 10. so you add those two together to get 130, which is the end score.
Love the analysis of AFL being a bunch of sports put together in a bowl with a bit of a mix 🤘
Hahah yeah I mean best way to explain it
@@KrustyVlogs Pure gold my friend.
There is both small and tall players but endurance is the key some players not all run between 3 to 10km a game

The kick that scored a goal at the beginning was taken from roughly half-way. On the Melbourne Cricket Ground, where the finals are played, halfway is roughly 70 metres from the goalposts, so that kicker punted the ball almost 80 yards before it hit the ground, and that was under pressure, as he was kicking in play, rather than from a mark. Such kickers would be legends in the NFL, but they are relatively common within AFL
i just came from that reacting biggest hits for footy, pls keep these afl footy vids coming 🙏 they so good!
As a minimum AFL players should be able to kick 50m (55yds) on their preferred foot and 40yards on the non preferred. On the run and from set shots. Some players can regularly kick 60 meters (66yds). Bear in mind that’s every player on the team.

AFL started in Victoria in 1896. Around that time.
Yeah, but the rules and the game was first played 1850's.

You’ve said it a couple of Krusty about Aussies becoming kickers or Punters. Darren Bennett played in the AFL from 1987-1993 before becoming a Punter for the San Diego Chargers, he was then named to the NFL 1990’s all decade team and into the Chargers Hall of Fame. My little knowledge of him but apparently he changed the way Punting is done. Ben Graham and Sav Rocco are also 2 AFL players that turned into successful NFL punters both becoming some of the oldest NFL rookies ever. Good call saying the Aussies and kick
Those score lines in the vid aren't explained for you... The first number is the amount of goals scored, the second is the amount of behinds and the third is the total points scored.
They have international rookie spots available. Best take a look for any try outs in your country. Also take a quick look at hard AFL hits and check out Byron Pickett highlights.
Cool vid and good work
From Perth Australia
Bouncing the ball - the rule is every 15 metres but they've "Americanised" the units for you, hence "16 yards". So you can run with it as far as you like as long as you bounce it to the ground every 15 metres. You can also bend down and touch it to the ground but that's pretty awkward when you're running. It's a bit like the "travel" rule in basketball. The penalty for exceeding 15 metres without touching it to the ground or passing it is a free kick to the opposition. Judging the distance is subjective and up to the umpires but the crowd will normally voice their opinion! if you're tackled while you're running with it, you have to attempt to dispose of it by passing. Otherwise you may be penalised for "holding the ball" and a free kick awarded to the opposition.
With the score, the first column is goals (6 points), the second column is "behinds" (1 point), and the 3rd column is the total points.
Australian football AFL was first played in 1858 in regional Victoria Australia and then professionally in 1898. AFL is actually older than both rugby and American football and older than basketball and soccer. But not as old as the Irish Gaelic football that AFL was formed out from.
Fact checking you. First AFL game played in 1856 between 2 schools in Melbourne. Gaelic football was formed in the early 1880's. Earliest codified football code in the world. Despite what soccer and RU people will tell you

Big preesh you guys learning about our culture & our sport. It's some serious stuff. You can see why some Aussie chuckle at all the NFL padding now.
There's a few AFL players playing NFL. When a goal was kicked the crowd use to yell "How big is it" then the umpire would do the hand signals.
You guys should checkout Dustin Martin from the Richmond tigers . (Afl team)
Get off the tigers bandwagon simp
@@jblvxk yeah except I've been a member since I was ten , you utter wanker .
Far out guys, I was going to try to help you out but everybody has given you all the info on the game & rules that you require.
Enjoy😊
Thank you!
Aussie Rules Football - Oldest coded game in the world. Been around longer than soccer, American Football, Rugby etc. They can easily run up to 20km (12.4miles) in one game
im aussie i play netball but have many intrests in footy so i love watching americans reacting to it
AFL is clearly the best sport to play
And to watch.
@Jsurfer000 What TF? I'm very offended. (and to be totally honest, disappointed)
with that comment.
Hopefully you blokes can come to Australia and watch a game, I recommend a "showdown" is adelaide between the crows and port adelaide two arch rivals the games are always intense.
They shouldn't bother watching any game of the Dockers, they are the biggest losers in AFL! Been around since 1994 and never won a grand final, the WCE were around since 1986 and won their first GF in 1992! Shows where in W.A the good teams are, Yuppie hipsters (Freo) suck at the game and the blue collar hard workers (SoR of Perth) are the West Coast Eagles. I had a few school mates in the WCE, Philip Matera, knew his older brothers Peter and Wally back in the day, a Bairstow. I also had a few cousins playing up until 2 years ago...lol
I WANT TO WATCH ONE
@@KrustyVlogs Well, the western derby Summer demo AFL games are coming this weekend I think?! Eagles vs Dockers...because the other states of Oz are riddled on and off with Covid and W.A is safe.
@@Defensive_Wounds no covid in SA mate. Also the crows and port have their practise match against each other this weekend as well.
@@KrustyVlogs ya gonna love it matey.
The crows app are airing it for free. Get on it.
The score line is Goals.Behinds = final score which is total points. One goal is worth 6 points, 1 behind is 1 point, so a score line of 20.10.130 would be that, 20 goals equals 120 points, 10 behinds, 10 points for a final score of 130...
I was watching the Suns vs Blues game this arvo and there were some Harlem Globetrotters in the crowd. They had the same look on their faces as these guys.
White guy talks over all the information and then asks if they learnt anything yet haha.
White guy ? Disrespectful
White guy...get over yourself... always one...
What is white what us black? They are colours of which ive never seen a white person nor a black person i see people. This linking colour to a person is where you are wrong. Too bad if a person is colourblind
You need to react to NRL (National Rugby League) in Australia!!!
We get 90+ k attendance in reagular roster games!
Great Vid Man U guys are legends
I know this was posted a while ago, but the population of attendance, our country is shy a few million of Texas. 90,000 people attending is huge compared to population. Just thought i should point that out lol. It's wonderful to see people come together. Thanks for the video!
This game has been played in Australia since 1866.
scores explained: 20 10 130
20 goals @ 6 point apiece = 120
10 behinds @ 1 point each = 10
total score 130
great vid mate. go the POWER lol :)
Largest crowd was in 1970, 121,969 people, the MCG has replaced some standing room with seating since then so it only holds about 100,000 now. Per head of Capita it's the most attended sport in the world.
We just love our AFL footy!
It gets so intense its amazing!
I recommend watching some Gaelic Football from Ireland and also International Rules which is Ireland vs Australia in a hybrid of the two games. Usually ends up with a massive fight!!
To explain, normally, there are 22 weeks of the "regular" season, which is a fixture where every team plays each other at least once, then depending on the ranking for the previous season play some teams twice. Then there's the finals where the top eight teams compete in the first round, then six in the second, four in the third, second versus third, then that winner against first.... there is also a pre-season competition where the administrators trial new rules, like a goal from outside the fifty yard line is nine points (or super-goal)....
There is also a Women's league, AFLW....
With the part at 7:01where you see those scores the first number is the number of goals the second number is the number of behinds and the third number is the total number of points so take the top score for example a goal is 6 points so 20 X 6 is 120 and a behind is one point so 120 + 10 is 130
2021 season starts in a few weeks, not sure it gets broadcast over there, if it does i think it's really early saturday mornings? i remember hearing about it being broadcast over there because during the start of covid it was pretty much the only professional sport that could go ahead at the time, lol, but definitely try and catch a game. If you want a recommendation for teams to watch, the top 4 last year were Richmond, Brisbane, Port Adelaide and Geelong so any game with them in it should be good to watch as I think those teams will likely continue their form into this year, though for round 1 the match of the round will probably be Essendon vs Hawthorn; plenty of fights between those two teams on youtube, haha
The final score is statured as main goals first then behinds then the total points added up
ok , as it shows , Final score is 20-10- 130 , meaning - if ball is kicked between the two big post ( called the Goal posts ) its worth 6 points ( without any player touches it on the way through ,) if ball goes through one big post and the smaller post its 1 point , so at end of game as the score is 20 x 6 = 120 plus behind score is 10 , that is 120 + 10 = 130 total score .
Hi guys, I'm an Aussie. I recently got into watching NFL and seriously starting to like it. Its cool to see you guys watching and enjoying the skill in AFL, you are right the fans are DIE HARD! and atmosphere at these games is really intense. If you are interested check out a guy called Mason Cox, he is an American that came out to Aus to play AFL, the transition is definitely possible, cheers from down under 🍻
Mason Cox - Wikipediaen.wikipedia.org › wiki › Mason_Cox
I was at a AFL grand final with over 100,000 people there. Some games during the year have 90,000. Plus my team has an American playing in it, Mason Cox.
the score in the final score 20 10 130 is 20 goals 10 behinds equaling 130pts. where the other team scored 18goals 12 behinds for 120pts.
Dustin Fletchers son is the punter for the Cincinnati Bearcats. Dustin Fletcher was one of the biggest kicks in the league
You lads need to watch some state of origin biggest hits and best fights
