I have to say it , out of all the US reactors on AFL you are picking it up the fastest and show the most passion for the game . This is a fantastic last quarter and really showcases exactly what AFL is all about . Its not just high scoring its the drama , it's the fans , the ecstasy and agony of the players. As others have said you are coming into the sport just at the right time with the new season just about to start . Unfortunate for Carlton fans though , Silvani , one of their better and most loved players just ruptured his ACL in his knee at training and will be out for the whole season . Really rotten luck and even though Im a Cats fan we all wish him the best in his recovery.
too right ..very genuine
Same here mate. I'm a WCE girl, but feel for any player that happens to. We had the same with Nic Nat, and it's just awful for any champion of our game. Wishing Silvagni a speedy and full recovery, from WA
Richmond supporter here….I wish Steven Silvani a speedy recovery,good player,nice guy….
Hope the Eagles can improve on their disappointing season of 2023.
@@sovietonion72 Thanks mate, so do I and the rest of the fans lol. It's going to take a few years to rebuild, but we'll get there.
I'm looking forward to seeing the new boys from the last draft, take a gallop on the oval, and get a good look at what they have on offer. Roll on March, coz I've got my yearly dose of footy withdrawals lol....last weekend I watched every grand final we've played in (yes the losing ones as well lol). I need my footy fix hahaha
With your call of "Kick it!" you are now officially an AFL supporter. Congratulations on finding the greatest Sport in the World. :)
I was at this game. The sound of the crowd at the final siren was unbelievable. Just my opinion, but AFL is the best form of football anywhere in the world. Go Blues for 2024!
go blues
Carn the Mighty Pies
NOTHING BEATS AFL.....NOTHING 😊
Aussie here, Collingwood supporter. Feel free to ask me anything if you have any questions. I'm glad to see you take an interest in our game.
A fun fact about the in-person experience. The clock at the ground doesn't count down, it counts up and doesn't stop. So what that means is when you're at the game you do not know exactly how much time is left which really adds to the tension.
Most scary part of the game when you’re there ahahah
Some people if they have the app will watch the game on their phone to see how long is left in the dying minutes
You also have to think about it this way when it comes to the sides in the footy: When a person chooses a team, they stay with them, diehard. It isn't like here in the NFL where you'll follow multiple teams and multiple games; when you barrack for a team there you always barrack for a team, through thick and thin. For example, Melbourne hadn't won the premiership since 1959, and their supporters struggled through every single year since then, to the point where people thought the team was cursed. Then finally, 57 years later, in 2021, they finally won one. That's a HUGE drought, but not even the hugest; the South Melbourne Swans (now the Sydney Swans) held the record at the time for the longest drought, at 72 years, having won in 1933, then nothing until 2005. The day they won the Grand Final that year, there were fans with them who SAW the 1933 win, and were still with them the entire time. That's how passionate the fans are.
Now, for hating Collingwood, while it's part of the passion for the game, you're free to choose whatever side you want. I mean, Mason Cox (American) plays for Collingwood, and just won a premiership himself. At the time, I (American) was an international member of Carlton, as I barracked for them when they last won in 1995. They've been starved of finals (playoffs) action for a LONG time, always having been beat in the first week, should they make it. So that 96K of fans there were definitely passionate. The MCG holds over 100,000 people, and that's how many were at the Grand Final.
Believe me when I say as a fellow American, that once you watch this sport and get a few games under your belt, you'll never go back to the boring start/stop/plan/play inanity of the NFL. you'll find it too slow.
Also we "barrack", we don't root (that''s a bit rude in Australia). 😁
unless you take them out to dinner first
I’m an Adelaide crows but I must say even though collingwood is hated they’re an incredible team
They wouldn't be as hated if they were shit! 😂
Agree. ♥️💛💙
COLLINGWOOD IS A BAD FOOTBALL CLUB! BUT CARLTON IS EVEN WORSE!
It makes sense though, imagine if north was the team everyone hated it wouldn’t even be fun hating them
if you liked this match, last years grand final ranks as one of the best of all time or recent memory, its peak football with the two best teams all year going at it, collingwood vs brisbane
We at Collingwood love it when opposition fans go against us, we have an us against the rest mentality, backs to the wall. Go Pies.....
I think Essendon is most hated now.
@@john8443 Nah, Collingwood supporters are still scum.
Essendon close second.
As an Eagles supporter I reserve my disdain for the Dockers . I couldn't give a shit about the others , either way.
Check out a live game here in the states, same season will start in March/April. USAFL, 54 teams across the country and National is the biggest footy tournament (carnival) in the world.
Mid to lower scoring game, afl has gotten progressively lower scoring and higher pressure over the last 30 years, this is about the quintessential afl game.
Port Adelaide Vs Melbourne 2023
Richmond Vs Essendon 2023
Anzac Day (Essendon v Collingwood) 2023
Brisbane v Richmond elimination final 2022
Port Adelaide v Essendon 2023 (the later season)
Port Adelaide Vs Collingwood 2023 (the later season one)
Those are all very good games from the last two years
Also the Australian football league AFL, used to be the Victorian football league VFL and all the teams were based in and around the city of Melbourne, it was only in the 80s did they expand interstate to solve their financial problems (resulting in the death of Fitzroy fc and the birth of the Brisbane lions). So roughly half the teams are from Victoria (which are mostly suburban teams such as Carlton and Essendon) and the other half are interstate teams (based in big cities such as Brisbane and Sydney). These suburban teams have fierce rivalries and long histories, making for a really interesting club feel.
ps. if you want to watch an exciting game then watch the Grand Final from 2023
One of the best Grand Finals ever. I wasn't there, but the best game I've seen was the 2022 Pies-Swans Prelim at the SCG.
First time I'm reacting to you. Love you're attitude.
As a blues supporter this still gives me chills haha.
Also we will welcome you in being a blues supporter
I like the announcers too. Sometimes they say the stoopidest things and they really crack me up. One thing that I've noticed in my love for Footy is that, you're generally gonna be treated to at least one good belly laugh per game. It'll be either something that happens on the field or some "Wag" in the crowd or something that the Announcers say. SOMETHING is gonna make you laugh, guaranteed, at least once per game. What could be better, sport and laughing.
Yeah, the Commentators can be so inane at times, but by gee, by jingo, by crikey, they LOVE the game as much as we do and that always comes across in their enthusiastic calls.
Consider, that on average, players would have run between 8 & 10 miles (some up to 13 or 14 miles) just how hard they were still able to run in the dying seconds.
This game was incredible to me as a lifelong Carlton fan. Born in 96 so i haven't seen them win a premiership. They made the grand final in 99 but i wasn't forming cognitive memories at the time. So this was the first time I saw them advance to a preliminary final and fuck what a game. Replayed those final 2 minutes about 4000 times
I'm a Carlton fan, dad is Carlton, mum and my brother are Melbourne. It was a very interesting household that night
Just like the Yankees and Cowboys, the Magpies are hated by many, but loved by many, many more. Forever a 'Pie and Steeler.
I think you've got that arse about . Loved by many , hated by many , many more . West Coast forever.
Typical collispud supporter who struggles with maths
#Flagpies 🥰
A goal is a restart in the cemtre. a behind hands over the ball in your goal. You know sports!
As a born and bred Carlton boy seeing this again with your reaction was just cream. Had me on the edge of the seat - again, and left me with a big smile. Fascinated by your fascination, but then again, it Is the best game there is. 😊
It may interest you to know the head coach of the Carlton Blues (Michael Voss) was one of the greatest players of the Grand Final team the Brisbane Lions.
If you want to see a really high pressure game (probably the highest pressure match I've seen in my whole life), try to find the 2022 Qualifying Final between Geelong and Collingwood as a match replay. Unbelievable match
One of my favourite games and I'm a pies supporter
The 2021 semi between the dogs and brisbane was N U T S
@@StrangeLittlePoet123Ridiculously nuts
Commentator: "Get it in"
Omnisport: "always gotta get it in"
I giggled like a high-school kid 😂
Watch the Geelong v Collingwood qualifying final in 2022, best game for the last few years
Bro your enthusiasm has earnt my subscription, looking forward to seeing your weekly reviews for our season which starts in a few weeks, go the mighty magpies
Don't rush into choosing an AFL team to support for the rest of your life. During one off-season for AFL, I learnt to love NFL by watching every available broadcast game as a 'neutral' and cheering for whoever was losing at the time. After a while, I was supporting one team over all others based on the fact they weren't always winning but had some exciting rookies. Plus they had a nickname that appealed to my personal background.
I love Brian Taylor's commentary.
He has haters too. 😮
You need to check out Don’t believe in never which is the story of Mason Cox an American who plays in the AFL
I was at that game with my dad and my son. The atmosphere was incredible. The new season starts next week. I can't wait! Go Blues! 💙
The first game you reviewed (Carlton vs Melbourne) I was actually at that game, words can't describe the emotions
Carlton and Melbourne over the last couple of years have been low scoring very intense games. I'm a Carlton member and been a supporter my whole 45 years of life 🙂 Go Blues 🔵🔵🔵
Mate, I loved your reaction. Hope you enjoy the game going forward.
Yes everyone hates Collingwood, but did you know the only American to play in the ALF plays for Collingwood, his name is Mason Cox, he is a good player now he knows the rules. He used to play basketball in the US.
Surely the new brand Craig McRae has brought in has been a dramatic improvement on our likeability?
@@rangatank93"haters are gonna hate"
@@rangatank93 he’s cool and all but I don’t think he solves Collingwood’s reasons for being hated
The best are always hunted and hated.
@@bruceismay5440 if the reason is jealousy then Fly helping us win the premiership won't help with that.
What bloody reasons?
I really want to know.
Is it because a Collingwood fan stole your car?
Great content mate and appreciate your effort to understand our game.
60 Minutes (USA) did a story on Mason Cox, the only American to play in the AFL. We were able to watch the episode on their website, but it's now geo-bocked. You might have better luck. There's also a shorter vid still on UA-cam they put out as 'extra content'. (Others have probably pointed out the AFL vid called 'Don't Believe in Never' about Cox's story - also a good watch.) Vice Sports did a rivals series and featured the rivalry between Carlton and Collingwood which can be watched on UA-cam. The 60 Minutes and Vice vids are all worth a watch if you're interested, even if you don't react to them.
Cox is shitless, he's a hack 😅
As a Victorian I grew up playing this game, the score is important but really we like a really hard fought game. Tackle hard, run hard, control the ball.
3:52 when max gawn (number 11) hit the post i was sitting to the right of theat post
You don't have to hate collingwood magpies theyre like the Yankees or lakers etc, they are the 2023 premiers and it was one of the greatest grand finals in history.. I enjoyed your enthusiasm looking forward to seeing more from you..
Hey just a massive AFL fan, I suggest you try to watch a game live and free in the new season about 55 days. I support the West Coast Eagles! They had terrible year getting wooden spoon and losing a game by 200+ points, but we picked up a star draftee and our new captains said the team had a total new hunger for improvement and have changed a lot. Would be an interesting first game for me as they are going against a solid finalists team in Port Adelaide.
Thank you for that video, I’m a blues fan and I was sitting on the edge of my seat watching that game. Go Blues ❤️❤️❤️
Gotta love this guy 😂🤣😂🤣. His passion is infectious 😀🇦🇺😀🇦🇺
thanks for your reaction - well done. our footy season starts up soon too
just to let you know the main sponsor of the afl is toyota thats why its painted in the centre/center sqaure
Great reaction mate!
Great reaction, love how much you get into the sport! I was at this game along with many last year, but this one had another level of intensity to it. My partner is a lifelong Melbourne fan so suffice to say they were gutted. A few tidbits you may not be aware of too:
4:23 Carlton player Adam Saad gets a loud "WOOF" from the crowd literally every time he kicks the ball
7:10 fans were mad because it was ruled a Melbourne player knocked the head of a Carlton player, giving Carlton possession, although from that angle its difficult to see what really happened. A few seconds later, the '50' call was a 50-metre penalty against Melbourne, for not immediately following umpire instructions
11:12 Finals attendance is MUCH bigger than during the regular season, depending on the teams playing. The Grand final last year sold out which is over 100,000 attendees.
14:43 Umpire mics are broadcast on TV (and therefore this playback) but generally not at the actual game.
17:10 Umpire called the ball back the goal square on a formality and I believe that's what the fans were angry about with seconds ticking down
AFL scorelines can differ drastically, this was a fantastic contest and a close game, but its not super uncommon for games to end with a 40-50 point difference. One game last year ended with a scoreline of 205-34 (Sydney Swans v West Coast Eagles)
And yes, hating Collingwood is a true blue Aussie tradition (Especially as an Essendon supporter!)
just so you know not all of our stadiums have 100,000 capacity. most are around 30,000-60,000
Make sure to check out all the teams and pick one you want to support before the season starts. It will make you more invested in it. No judgement from me which team you pick
Don’t hate a team because someone says to, take you’re time if you can to watch as many games with different teams before you pick a team, look at their style of play, and the players. Each team can play very well on the day but not always. The fast pace of a team and their ability to play a 360 degree game for 120 minutes at fast pace, the ability they have to use the ball by foot or hand, and the skills they have. It’s our game it’s Aussie rules. Enjoy it.
Before I even start watching this. You pick one of the best games to watch.
2023 in my opinion was the greatest series of finals and from what I can recall they were all close games.
The one I remember most wwas the GWS Giants versus the Collingwood Magpies and the winner of that game made it through to the Grand Final.
My only 2 complaints with the AFL would be when its a day game such as the Grand Final the red ball is so hard to see compaired to the amber ball used in day / twilight or night games on tv. The other is the time clock on the tv broadcast used to count down from 20 minutes to zero minutes. Once zero minutes were reached the time clock would count up in time, 20.50 and so on 22.45 so as a spectatoror or tv viewer you had absolutley no idea on how much time was left to play which made it more exciting for the fans and viewers especially like this game.
All I want in 2024 is my Sainters to finally crack a second Granny. Its been toooooooo long between drinks 1966 and still a supporter!!!
The 2016 final series was probably one of the most memorable in AFL history
To choose a team, look up who won the year you were born, because unless you have family input, it can be a bit daunting. Carlton is always a classy choice 💙
Just watch a few games and anyone with a brain will support the pies!
You should watch a game with an Australian who can explain everything and answer any questions you have
love your commentary! i would watch you commentate all the games
The umpires in AFL are all mic'd up, which is how you can hear the whistles and calls as the game is going. It's kinda necessary because umpires make calls constantly during games.
I would say a mid-scoring game. Some days you'll have a game with both teams in the low 50s or sometimes you'll have teams score 110 a piece.
Wow a 3rd video on AFL!
😀
Melbourne Vs Carlton, excellent choice Bobby. 👌👍
I couldn't have recommended a better one myself.
Was at this game with my long suffering Melbourne supporting partner ( had to retire to the bar at the Pullman Hotel after the game as she had to have a consolation drink or two) ... great game though and it is a wonderful showcase for you to get an idea of the flow of the game and the excitement of the crowd.
Note the Pullman is in close proximity to the Melbourne Cricket Crowd (MCG).
Back when we were a 12 team, Victoria-based competition, we had a top 5 at the end of the regular (home and away) season. First week was 2v3 (qualifying final) and 4v5 ( elimination final). Second week was semifinals - 1 v qualifying winner (1st semi), and qualifying loser v elimination winner hand semi). Winner of 1st semi goes straight to grand final; loser of 1st semi and winner of 2nd semi go to preliminary final. Third week - preliminary final; winner goes through to grand. 4th week - grand final.
When the competition went national, with more teams, they still retained the names of the finals rounds, even though the structure of the actual finals changed massively as more teams went through to the finals.
You just witnessed greatness. That was probably the best Carlton game I have ever experienced. That was the best they've played in about 20 years. This team now is destined for something great. So hop on the Carlton Football Club. We are probably the most successful team and we have had a rich history bar the last 20 odd years. Mainly before the year 2000. But now, if you join us in 2024, you won't be disappointed.
BTW, it's pronounced 'Melb-ne' not 'melborne'
Salary cap breach in 2000 fucked us for years
as an australian, i just realised the AFL fields are fucking huge??
Such a great reaction 👏
This was a great game to react to, hopefully the game will make more sense in time. Sometimes the best way to understand the game is to watch more of it and you will work out the intricacies of AFL.
Please check any of the following next,
Preferably all in order and you will be completely
Hooked, as were all my English Family and friends who came over.
Please check any of the following AFL videos next, I’ve never left anyone disappointed with these, you’ll be more than hooked mate.

In a finals match, you want a tight competitive game; the closer the score, the greater the adrenaline for both players and spectators alike. A walk over game is okay during the minor rounds, but not what you want to see in the major rounds.
Love it that you wear the shirt your mum bought for you.
Did you know that you can watch a Grand Final in the US, both men's and women`s USAFL, now off you pop and support your new national sport.
Close games like this are the best. Really gets the blood pumping because as a very faced pace sport, a match like this could go either way, even with seconds to go. I blame a lifetime of thrillers like this for my heart condition 😂🤣
Watch the 2010 St Kilda v Collingwood Grand Final. Youll be in for a treat 😂
Me: This guy is going to be a true Aussie in no time!
14:57 OmniSports praises the score review and the AFL website
Me: Nope, he'll never be one of us.
16:15 And he's with us once more!
I like the fact that you have minimized ( if that is the correct word) your screen image. Too many reviewers do the opposite.
Personally I love this sport when I was ten I was playing with fifteen your old kids full contact and no protection
The kick at 9:57 would normally be seen as deliberate, that's what it looked like to me
MASSIVE HAWKS FAN but looks like this year is gonna be epic! Finally the game has settled an now have some exciting rookies an draft picks about to showcase their skills, I can't wait for the season to start again! Love every game 😄
Finals are typically low scoring cause everyone is more defensive
Hey, I love your enthusiasm for our game, but that wouldn't have been the game I recommended. (though it was a good one). You should check out the last round of the 2022 Season, Carlton vs Collingwood. Both sides had a lot riding on this game, Collingwood needed to win to make the top 4, which would give them the Double Chance in the finals, and Carlton had to win to make the finals for the first time in over ten years, it was a sensational game.
"Rooting for a team...". Ah, no, mate. To root, in Aussie slang means to have sex. It's a somewhat milder term than f___k, but is still not used in "nice" company. We "barrack" for teams. The term originates from the early days of footy in the 19th century when football/cricket grounds were often adjacent to army barracks. There were often no grand stands, so people would sit on the roof of the barracks, watch the game from there, and yell and cheer.
For example: I barrack for (support) St Kilda, and if I barrack too much (yell and cheer too much) at the game, I might come home thoroughly rooted (exhausted/f___cked) and need a beer. I hope that makes some sense. To say you "root for a team" has weird connotations, as you can imagine.
I'm very glad you are educated in the ABC rule (Anyone But Collingwood)
Love the interest for our great game! It's easy to fall in love with... and we're glad to share it with sports lovers from all over the world!
If you want an epic game to review, this is absolutely one of the greatest finals of all time, if not, the greatest! Neck and neck all the way, multiple lead changes, goes into extra time, down to the last second, and the finish with blow your mind! This is what makes our game so great. I'm envious that you get to watch this without knowing the result! Enjoy:

Yes, you should click the link. It's a full game. Great idea for a learner to watch a full match. ✅
Us Carlton supporters cried.. it was an awesome game.. we didn't win the GF but hey at least we were there
G’day Mate,
(So many foreigners are seeing the Americanised Rules video first, so i created this generic comment as it basically applies to just about every one, if you’ve already seen a suggested video, just ignore it & move on).
I’m glad your enjoying our game, but I should point out that the first “rules” video is unfortunately full of inaccuracies and omissions, and that’s odd since it was the Australian AFL ruling body that commissioned it.
The very first thing to be addressed ( and I will mention it later again in full), but this game is NOT a mix of other games or American games.
AND It is absolutely understandable why most might think this so, but it’s simply not true as every game that looks like it might have similar roots, like volleyball and basketball etc we’re invent many years (even decades) later after AFL .
So To start with, here are some comments and corrections in no particular order.
First of, it’s 15 metres “before” your required to bounce the ball, it’s just been rounded to 16 yards for the American audience, for which the first typical video most get to see was created. Also, you don’t just have to bounce it, you can alternatively bend down whilst running, and touch the ball to the ground as well (although rarely seen nowadays).
The MCG (Melbourne Cricket Ground) holds over 100,000 people, not 90,000. I know the Vid said 90,000 plus, but that implies a lower true figure, so it’s a poor choice of words.
They play on Cricket pitches, hence the round oval shape, and since cricket pitches are different sizes, there is no standard pitch size, so any figures that will get quoted, are only average estimates.
The 20 minute quarters can have 10 additional minutes PER quarter, not 10 minutes for the whole game.
This is a truly 360 degree game, so when they say no offside rule, it’s a massive understatement that you will only understand after watching a few minutes of continuous play. And you can get hit from Any direction at all (and therefore no “Knock on rule”).
And what isn’t mentioned at all, is that their is absolutely no “Time Outs” of any description at all, for eg. if a player is injured, the game still continues on around him without stopping.
The only exception to this is if he needs to be stretchered of, other wise the play goes on as the injured player walks off, there is video on UA-cam with players with clearly broken arms, walking off.
This 1st video is an updated version, that fixes most (but not all the) issues and omissions in the Americanised version of the video most people see first. (To be clear, the errors are our fault, i.e. us Aussies, as it was the AFL who wrote the script to help educate US citizens).
ua-cam.com/video/u_SqfNNfhmM/v-deo.html
This 2nd video is done by an Englishman (Pom), and it does a better job of explaining the basics (in regards to the original AFL,s own video), but since some of the rules have changed, it’s also slightly inaccurate too, but not in any fundamental important matters though, and it does give a list of offences that none of the others do, so it’s still worth a watch.
ua-cam.com/video/Mnv32s8jPz0/v-deo.html.
This next vid helps fill in some gaps, but it leaves stuff out too, so it’s only really useful as a supplementary video, but it’s still very good for what it does do.
ua-cam.com/video/64elNqf3Kxg/v-deo.html
This last video nicely wraps it all up. But don’t be put of by it’s apparent length as only the 1st 14 minutes are actually about the game itself as the rest is about the clubs and their history. It also covers how inclusive the game is as well.
But whilst you’re of course welcome to see the rest, you only need to see the first 14 minutes to better understand the game, and of those 1st 14 minutes the first 4 minutes are a preamble and a very little bit of history that’s well worth watching too.
ua-cam.com/video/Dtmu-1kMFZw/v-deo.html
(Update) Before we move along and in support of the previous Videos closing remarks about Aussie AFL fans. Here’s what happened When Buddy Franklin Scored his 1000th goal (yes that really is One Thousand Goals, NOT including behinds I.E. the One pointers).
This milestone has only happened 5 times previously in the 150 year plus history of this game. That’s why the crowd reacted the way they did. The anticipation for this moment was absolutely huge all game.
It took nearly half an hour tho clear the cricket ground (pitch).
ua-cam.com/video/HgM3W6gnJGg/v-deo.html
These next videos are not rules related as such, but a bit of everything else of potential interest.
To start of with, If your interested in the history of the game, as it’s arguably the oldest game on earth, well at least certain aspects of it are anyway. The following videos should help to enlighten you why this is case.
At the 1:27 min mark, they specifically mentioned how the AFL Ruling body, has finally recognised the influence of Marngrook on AFL.
ua-cam.com/video/8pJftbDqFfY/v-deo.html
To be Clear. It’s the jumping up high (I.E. marking) of the ball component of Marngrook, that’s of specific importance, and is what was carried across to the new game.
ua-cam.com/video/7UlHJgrkgM8/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/k8dPdHMZiQg/v-deo.html
This little Documentary has certain facts that have since been clarified and confirmed, as shown in the earlier video suggestions.
But the History of Tom Wills is still accurate.
Take Note: At 4:31. Specific mention is made of the hand written rules, including a photo of the original hand written rules of what’s now called, Australian Rules Football.
ua-cam.com/video/fv6dAoUcSrM/v-deo.html
What’s now known as Australian Rules, is indeed the first game to have a “standardised” set of “codified” rules of any football code.
Another point of interest is that the Australian Aborigines have a PROVEN historical ability to remember and pass on their stories. So to go of track ever so slightly, it’s been discovered that they have racial memories (stories that are passed down over time) that actually date back to before the last ice age. It’s also a proven fact that the Australian Aborigines have the OLDEST Continuous culture of any race, on earth. (Feel free to check this out at your own leisure as it’s fascinating in its own right).
.
ua-cam.com/video/7UlHJgrkgM8/v-deo.html

To be fair (and clear), just about every game ever invented, basically starts of without written rules. This is especially true of soccer as it’s history dates back to the Middle Ages. Therefore various games (of all sorts) have evolved over time, this is a universal constant.
It’s just that Australian Football was specifically created for a very specific purpose right from the very beginning, and so setting out rules was an automatic imperative right from the start. Neither the early forms of soccer or rugby (or any other type of game) had this type of need in their early days.
Australia (Victoria to be more specific) was the First Nation to have a 8 hour work day 40 hour work week. So we had Saturday free to play sport, before other countries, this has been postulated as another reason why it was easy for us to create a game in the fashion that we did, and why it was taken up so quickly.
What translates to AFL, is the consolidated components of pre Codified Soccer/football, pre codified Rugby, Marngrook etc, as well as some other unique aspects of his own too (like bouncing/touching the ball to the ground), that was then all mixed up and combined into our very own game which we happened to write some rules down before anyone else got around to it.
To put it simply, No one has ever denied the fact that AFL is made up of early forms of other football style of games with our own bits added as well.
But having said that. AFL actually predates Soccer, Rugby, Gridiron, Basketball, Volleyball etc.
So it’s not actually accurate to say that it’s a mix of other sports, as that implies that AFL copied those aspects and that they came first, but to be fair, it is also entirely understandable why that assumption is constantly made.
To sum up. These suggestions are about the background and history of AFL.
There are other far more exciting videos to watch, such as ones like these.
I will start of with what was a pop song in the 70’s but has become the main AFL theme song (their are others). What makes this video specifically interesting was that it was before a lot of the rules to make it a safer game, had been made. It has some spectacular footage. (Just the 5 secs from 0:30 to 0:35, prove this point).
And BTW Roy Cazaly was the name of a famous player that could jump, hence the cry “ Up their Cazaly” and thus the title for the song.
I maybe biased, but it’s still a damn good song.

This one is well worth reacting too.
These next vids are of course subjective, and it’s only a taste of what’s on UA-cam. I’m not saying they are the best, just a good example of what’s available, and they are all worth reacting to as well.

get a team!! And get down here to see a game at a stadium. It is an awesome experience-television gives a hit of the speed and expansiveness of the game, but at the ground it is just extraordinary. Go the Swans
Try watching any of the Collingwood clutches this year and last year, all high intense clutch’s
Such a good game
The T-Swift reference is v timely - she’s about to play the MCG, which is where this game took place 😉
I’ve been to that ground a few times, it’s changed a lot since my first time watching Melbourne and Richmond play a home and away game early in the 1988 season when both sides were cellar dwellers. We went anyway. The biggest crowd there was over 121,000 at the Grand Final in 1970, Carlton vs Collingwood. Carlton pulled off an amazing comeback from behind to win the premiership that day!
And I hate Collingwood!!!
Your shirt is fab ✌
Good content
Aussie Rules is amazing. You should play AFL Fantasy this year, it’s a lot of fun.
U should review or go watch NRL Australian Rugby League in Las Vegas on March 2nd 2024 at Allegiant Stadium
If the NRL games are successful the AFL may consider going the same route of playing games in the USA
sick choice of video
You're American. You should go for the Bulldogs. They're Red, White & Blue. You know it makes sense!
Me thinks you are hooked now ! My footy team, the Western Bulldogs have the colors (also) of the American flag - red, white and blue (hint, hint )( - and also the Australian flag. )There's two good reasons to barrack for them.
If you want to watch another NUTS semi final the 2021 semi final between Brisbane lions and the western bulldogs
Watch last 2 minutes is last show down at ammi stadium port Adelaide, and Adelaide you see the footy bounce and strange why?
I have some constructive criticism, I'm not sure if it's intentional or not but the timestamps are showing up inside the captions making them difficult to read.
I'm assuming whoever wrote the captions originally had them in to make syncing them easier but it's quick distracting if you're someone who relies on them or even just likes the convenience such as myself.
(edit) I also just noticed they're actually quite out of sync for the length of the video, this could very well be a problem on my end but I thought it worth a mention
I do think however that commissioning captions on a video from such a small channel is amazing and I thank you for it.
Hello!
Thank you for letting me know! I will work on getting that fixed so it'll be easier for others!
@@OmniSportsInternational appreciate it ❤️
I think I fixed it for this video!
@@OmniSportsInternationalyes it's all fixed:D thanks
The more you watch you will find that the rules are designed to keep the game flowing and the ball in play. Time wasting becomes almost an artform.
Look at the Mason Cox video. Texan playing for Collingwood. Go Pies
You should watch the 2018 afl grand final
You must pick a team. No-one hates Collingwood any more. We are the biggest and the loudest and the best to watch.
You would be surprised. Haha your definitely a cox supporter plenty of people hate Collingwood still they just have to tell themselves that no one hates them and hey I’m a Kangaroo supporter so I don’t even really get to comment until we win more than two games in a season. About another ten years before that will happen
The hate for Collingwood came from them winning 4 premierships in a row in the 1920s. If they can do the same again, it may return - an acceptable price to pay 😁@@shane35188
