Great video! The clash at 17:49 between the Geelong Cat player Joel Selwood and West Coast Eagles player Adam Selwood are brothers, thats why Joel gave him the shove when he ran off 😂
I’m reminded every day that I played Aussie Rules, started playing at 10 years old and said no more at 40 I’m 64 now knees are stuffed fingers bent. Would do it all over again.
I fractured my ribs playing footy last year and was back playing 2 weeks later, still in a lot of pain but the enjoyment of playing is greater than the pain. Although I did re-fracture them in the last game of the season so maybe it wasn't a great idea 😂
That number 23 in red is Lance “Buddy” Franklin, my favourite player, Sydney Swans. It’s worth checking out his 1000th goal. Only about 6 players ever achieved this milestone in their career. Buddy was the first indigenous player to achieve this.
8:00 he did see him coming, you’re just not allowed to pull out of the contest you just have to take the hit for the team. There is a saying in Aussie Rules “when it’s your time to go you gotta go “
The first one where the colour really fades out, the first one is Jim Jess getting cleaned up by a family friend of mine... Garry Wilson. In the days when we watched it black and whitem we could tell the difference between North Melbourne and Collingwood by the colour of their shorts. The home team would wear white shorts while the away team would wear black.
The guy who did the hit at 5:26 got banned for 5 weeks for that hit, you're absolutely not allowed to lead with your elbow like he did. Honestly should have missed even longer, Harris Andrews missed a month from concussion and ended up with bleeding on the brain.
AFL is a 'collision; sport. A collision sport is one degree up from full contact. A full contact sport is still defined by two teams from different sides. Attacking each other.. NFL is deemed as a full contact sport but not a 'collision' sport. A collision sport means that hits can come from any angle at any time and there is no protective side. There are only two fully sanctioned collision sports in the world. Ice Hockey NHL, and Aussie Rules Football (AFL).
The hits in A F L , are no less harder , it's the lack of the offside rule that makes AFL a lottery , your legal 360° , Rugger you have to throw backwards , not so in AFL , and you got to regain your feet quickly ,can't have a 2 on 1 , probably near the ball , coz plsyers only have eyes for the ball , it's a frantic game of attrition , a magnificent spectacle, cheers Bro . GO BLUES RARARA
@joelhungerford8388 Joel , for every action their is an equal and oppersite reaction, now given that the off side rule precludes a foward pass , it's near on impossible to assert that the hits are softer , the only thing about rugger that is certainly dangerous, is the scrum , now that is heavy given a chain is only as strong as it's weakest link , it's not often a rugger player has to stand under a ball and wait for it , balls that , and if they do , they are being run at from one direction , a hospital ball in footy and your legal and open for 360° , that can't happen in rugger because like soccor ,it make scoring harder , boring ,but worse still , the off side rule sanitises your game , the only time you look for hang time is when you try and get more ground , but the catcher is never in any real danger , I've played , all codes ,and I will admit ,( ice Hockey is the closest to nearly as hard) ,how ever in every aspect ,across the board fitness , Vertical leaps , time trials , supremely fit athletes AFL footballer have no peer , and that is a fact ..GO BLUES RARARA
@@joelhungerford8388a lot of these are what rugby would refer to as shoulder charges which aren’t legal in at least rugby league (I’m not as sure about rugby union) so these hits would be as impactful if not more so than your average rugby hit that is generally chest first. That being said, rugby and NFL hits are harder generally as the players are running at each other with the sole intention of flattening each other and not much else because once the player is down play stops and resets, whereas for a number of reasons AFL players may not be running straight at their opponents and both the player with the ball and the opponent are looking to do other things like win/dispose of the ball or hit the opponent in a way that isn’t going to result in a penalty or suspension or injury to either player.
Macdog , the hit's are no harder or softer , for every action , there is an equal and oppersite reaction , so the variables are boundless , and for every hit a Rugger player or Gridiron player take , an AFL player will have 4 physical contests of various impact , cheers bro
Broken ribs,collar bones ,hands ,feet and legs and ACLS MCLS and torn biceps bislocated shoulders to name but a few injuries, AFL is hard sport played by even harder men
Fella's, l boxed for 12 yrs.. l got more injuries playing country footy. If your teammates dont warn you, ya get hit from any direction... Then the trainer runs out and tells you to run it off!!!
Some of those players in the old footage cant remember half their careers. Its taken so much more seriously now with the head protected by the rules . Some of those big hits now would draw 6 to 8 week suspensions. One of the biggest hits of all time was Shane Mumford on his old team mate Mitch Duncan . He went from flat out in one direction to flat on his back going the other way , it was brutal , he got Mummified.
Dudes do break their ribs. Probably the most famous example is Mark Yates bumping Dermott Brereton minutes into the 1989 grand final. Derm cracked his ribs but played the rest of the game. In that same game, his teammate Robert "Dippa" Dipierdomenico went to hospital straight after the game with a punctured lung
Well that’s completely false. There’s been quite a few great games Collingwood has played in - I mean c’mon the 1970 Grand Final is regarded as an all time classic, albeit we lost, but it was game for the ages regardless.
The 70’s and 80’s was brutal and many fist fights and brawls! Many nasty hits! Lots of revenge games and targeting of players who instigated high hits on purpose!
I've played AFL since i was 5, in my 11 years I've had broken arms, ribs, shoulders, I've seen teammates not able to walk anymore because of spinal injuries and other things like that. Its tough footy but nowadays its more protected, Still tough though. Don't get me started on playing on cricket pitches and landing on those fxxxing things, so many concussions from that.
The AFL has had broken ribs with punctured lungs, ruptured spleens and kidneys, broken necks, broken legs with bones sticking out, fractured jaws, eye sockets, broken arms. Every type of War injury you can imagine.
1989 Grand Final my team HAWTHORN HAWKS vs GEELONG CATS, is the GREATEST GAME THAT WAS EVER PLAYED, Dermott Brereton played with broken ribs from the 1st minute of the game 120 minutes later he was still on the field and was the reason we won the GRAND FINAL, his teammate and captain Michael Tuck (grandfather Tucky) of the Hawks played with a split hand from the webbing between his thumb down to his wrist with it just wrapped up in a rag for the 2nd half of the game, BIG DIPPA played with a punctured lung for the whole game and was rushed to hospital at the end of the game and almost died, Johnny Platten (the rat) knocked out in one of the biggest concussions in history or the game the sad thing was he could not remember anything before the week of the Grand Final he has no recollection of the Final or the preceding 7 days, it was the GREATEST GAME EVER PLAYED and THE HAWKS STILL WON THE GRAND FINAL, there were fights all day long an both teams were bloodied at the end of it, Geelong also had numerous injuries as well, and the best thing is I WAS THERE CHEERING in the HAWKS Cheer Squad behind the goals EPIC.
@@neilrowe119 Dermott Brereton broke 3 ribs at the very fist bounce of the game, Mark Yeates got revenge for having one of his testicles ruptured in round 6 by Dermott Brereton. Dermie also had a kidney tear, he was pissing blood at half-time. Dipper copped a massive hit from Ablett Snr at the end of the second quarter breaking 1 or 2 of his ribs which during later in the match ended up puncturing a lung. He collapsed at the end of the game and taken to hospital, didn't even get presented his medal. The Doc or Nurse noticed the lung problem when he collapsed and released the pressure by inserting a needle to release the air. If they hadn't noticed he could of died, he was in intensive care for a few weeks iirc.
Very rare to get broken ribs, ACL's are the most common injuries. Most times the players will get up and continue playing and even when they have to go off for treatment most times they will come back on field in fact players have been known to continue playing with a broken jaw bone, if they put a shoulder out or a knee out of joint they will get it put back in and continue playing. There is a blood rule where any player bleeding must go off for treatment before returning to the field of play.
in Aussie rules all the players have real good situational awareness They know where 99% of the tackles and hits are coming from. But you need to commit to the ball otherwise your more likely to get hurt if you hesitate an prop for it.
Actually that picture on the start shows one of the Wakelin twins fighting with Alistair Lynch. He had a fight with both brothers over finals with a week between him playing the other Wakelin. Lynch is about 6'5 tall & built like a truck.
If you want big hits, try the NRL (National Rugby League) Australia. And as far as great games, look at the Last 10 minutes of the NRL grand final this year 2023 between Penrith Panthers and Brisbane Broncos.
Yeah I bet so. It is pretty common in most contact sports. My qb the year he retired played with 4 broke ribs a shoulder injury that required surgery and a knee injury that required surgery at the age of 41.
@@patrickgrant6389 I never said they wouldn’t have to take a few months to get there stamina and endurance up. But they would be capable. There’s not many athletes if any that you could pick up and throw them into another sport and they would be ready to play it. The stop start in the NFL is not because they are not in shape and need breaks. The strategy of the game is different. Hayne is also a bad example because he barely played as well.

Afl is one of the toughest sports and yes they do sometimes get blocked or fractured ribs
Yeah you summed it up nicely, AFL involves a lot of loose ball play, you need to focus on the ball, leaving you open for a hit.
