Seriously torn between loving that he's shining a spotlight on the AFL, and hating that he's just created a new army of Collingwood supporters.
Carn the Pies!!!!! We now have another battalion- The United States Magpie Battalion. :D
I've watched like 3 games and I'm a Lions fan. Is that bad? I'm a clueless pom lol
@@TheVolginator Brisbane are the greatest team in the league, nothing bad about being a Lions supporter.
I'd do that I'd do that I did see Ackermanis and got the impression he was pretty handy. In all honesty I watched the 2004 grand finals and picked the lions because of the kit lol
@@TheVolginator I picked my soccer team when I was a kid, Aston Villa, because their kit looks similar to the Brisbane Lions.
AFL clubs aren’t privately owned, buying a membership essentially supports the club. More memberships = a healthier stronger club
In a way, the clubs are owned by the people.....
So AFL clubs are essentially the packers?
@@bakey9222 yep
Same in germany with soccer
Yeahh pretty much the number one discussion at the moment is.
As an Aussie and lifelong Geelong Cats fan (since the 70s) I congratulate Pat McAfee on so seriously engaging with AFL. I have never seen a foreigner commentator engage with such respect for the traditions and oddities of AFL that are so beloved by fans. Thanks Pat. You are a legend!
As a cat person I am forced to follow the Geelong Cats. I am glad to call myself an Aussie-Rules fan.
Having discovered AFL two years ago, (I'm a Brit), I love seeing the world waking up to this fantastic sport.
It really has got all the right ingredients. It doesn't keep stopping and starting like NFL, it doesn't drag on interminably and finish up with a 0-0 score like soccer, and its speed and end to end action keeps it riveting right up to the last second.
The scoreline builds up constantly, and just like watching that great Aussie Angus Young you sit there thinking "Where the hell do they get their stamina from !"
Yep....I'm totally hooked on Australian "Footy".
As a Brit... have you managed to see a game live? It's a totally different experience, since you can actually see the whole field
@@jeremykothe2847
Sadly no Jeremy. Not much opportunity to on Scotland’s craggy and wind swept west coast, but I’d love to experience the whole thing live and in front of me.
I reckon it’s catching on around the world with the help of the internet. I’ve seen several American reaction videos on RUclips, and everyone who watches a game really enjoys it.
The stamina of those players is incredible. At the age I am now, 58, I’d probably last 0.00005 seconds on the field before I was killed lol 😂
@@seanmacleod1724 I'd last about a microsecond longer. Well if you ever do find your way down under, add it to your list!
@@jeremykothe2847
😂 Lol
Will do mate 👍
Anyone found not planning to play AFL will be arrested
Im Scottish soccer fan watching an American football player talking to an American who plays Aussie Rules in Australia, and I have now found my calling aswell
your not the only Scott to fall in love, check out The Dons Channel
Try NHL hockey as well
mon the gers
AFL is like Gaelic Football......
But for men
It's a shocking sport
There is a celebrity AFL match called the ‘EJ Whitten Legends Match’. You should definitely play in it this year Pat!
Yes!!!
Imagine Pat barreling torps from the goal square or doing a Rocca and trying to dob one from the centre circle.
Absolutely!!!
Nick Stavris Pat just kicks the ball in, after a point
YES PLEASE
Not a Collingwood fan, but massive respect to Mason.
Not only for learning g and excelling in our game, but also for making it more known overseas.
Mason Cox is a premiership player for Collingwood. Unbelievable. What a brilliant story. Go pies!
USA USA USA , he made it 😅 and then sitting on the oval crying !! 🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍 “ been through so many highs and so many many lows “
My daughter should be on this show. She's the first American woman to play Aussie Rules. Unfortunately, the season got cut short due to Covid-19, but she scored a goal with her very first kick. Dani Marshall. Look it up. Western Bulldogs in Melbourne.
I saw Dani play against my team, Carlton. She is a very good player. You should be proud. I hope she has a great career.
Friend of the family is/was the physio at the Dogs. Geez the sheilas go in hard
scored a great goal first game 👍. Go Dogs.
Doug herring A lot of irish girls are playing out there aswell ,because gaelic football is very similar to aussie rules and the womens games are more similar again.Don't think any are playing for the bulldogs though.
Women’s football is considered a joke over here. A ticket to the men’s game is typically $100, to the women’s it’s free entry cause other wise no one would show up.
I love how Mason goes in and out of his aussie accent, true blue. Fair Dinkem.
Strewth.
fkn sounds awful
SilentHotdog28 You used Fair dinkem wrong champ.
Fair Dinkum
Bonza!
I had family visit from Australia a few years ago. They know I’m a big sports guy, so they brought me an AFL sherrin. I had no idea the sport existed, so down the RUclips rabbit hole I went. I love the game. It’s fast, it’s hard hitting and it’s non-stop entertainment. I’ve adopted the Adelaide Crows as my team, since that’s my family’s favorite team. It’s very cool to see an American like Mason in the the league.
You picked the best team mate. Crows to win Grand Final 2024 ♥️💛💙🇦🇺
Mmmmmm😅
Excellent choice, welcome to the Crom.
Nooo, not the Crom, why? The other team down the road is so much better!
Ha. His accents sounds like he's playing 2 songs at once.
Lol sounds like he uses one for a few min then switches back to the other
Yeah it's a total pisser...thing is he gets interviewed down here all ya hear is yank...he gets interviewed by a seppo an mid sentence, Aussie twang...its frickin ripper.
@@jmc7636 English, please.
@@ResistTheGreatReset1984 hmmm...oright, let's have a take 2 then shall we:
Yeah he (cox) is pretty funny. When he is interviewed down here (Straya) all you can hear is his American accept. Listening to him interviewed by a fellow American you can hear a bit of an Aussie accent creeping in here and there.
Better mate?
@@jmc7636 just ribbing you. I know the jist of what you're saying. I never knew "seppo" was used by Aussies, though.
He’s from Texas, he’s PICKED up an Australian accent in 6 years, crazy stuff
Yeah......
Lmao
Aussie accent kind of reminds me of a southern accent
samelmudir u must be deaf then
Daddy Devito what you mean he sounds very southern Australian to me
It's a hybrid accent for sure. It happens to most people, I have a cousin who moved to the US a few years ago and she sounds so american its funny.
For those uninitiated. I will point out that Collingwood has the dubious honour of being the most loathed club in the AFL. All the other 17 clubs supporters delight in their losses and rapidly forgets about their wins. True, they have a huge supporter base but quantity does not necessarily equal quality.
Yeah, Collingwood is about the only club that only has to travel interstate about 4 times a year for a start.
You either Love the greatest club in the land or love to hate the greatest team in the land either way theres alotta love haha
They are the Dallas Cowboys of the AFL.
I attended a Swans home match in 2012. I was fortunate enough to sit next a fan who patiently explained the nuances of the sport (I knew the basics). The match was between Sydney and North Melbourne, but the fan still felt obliged to tell me that "everybody hates Collingwood."
Their moto is literally 'us vs. them'
Mason’s Aussie accent is getting pretty legit 👍👍👍
I'm from Australia and it's so funny, when he talks half the sentence sounds like pure native Aussie and the other half sounds American haha.
When the video first started I thought maybe he was Scottish, the shape of his words did NOT sound American, but clearly wasn't aussie.
@@spagettechYeah same here it confused me for a sec until he said he was american lol.
It is now, three years after this interview was done!! He's sounding more hybrid every day!! I love this big guy to bits!! 😁🖤🤍🖤😊
Classic limbo accent
This plays back well now that Mason played an outstanding game in the Magpies Grand Final win last weekend!!
I think Mason's best game was the 2018 preliminary final against Richmond. That's when the crowd chanted USA. It was incredible!
Americans missed a giant opportunity to market Mason Cox and the sport after the 2018 when he broke out. ESPN, Fox Sports should of had him plastered all over their media stations, glad to see him getting some shine now
Only good dame
@@hawkoh7712 Yep, played his best game when Richmond played their worst for the year = fluke
I agree. His best game.
@@Anvil35 You mean Australians missed the opportunity?
Talk to Patty Mills or Ben Simmons about footy, both were on track to play AFL
patty was a gun footy player before going to the us to play ball for st mary's
@Shivan Anirudhra how is Mills a prick? Would agree with Simmons but.
Even better, get Slow No Joe on, he'd just take the piss haha
Josh Green is playing college ball for Arizona and he was an absolute gun at footy before he left for the US
We all know Ben Simmons says he is proud to be an Australian until it comes time to show that pride he is no where to be found. But I don't blame them for goinf to us to play a game they can make more money in 1 year than most AFL players make in a career.
Three Sirens are you referring to when he skipped the FIBA World Cup?
Mason Cox: Yeah I'm the tallest player to ever play the game
Aaron Sandilands: ...sorry bro?
cox is 211cm, taller by a few millimetres than peter street and aaron sandilands who are both also 211.
Also, Sandi retired last year.
@@StrangeMaestro he certainly did
Sandilands played for Freo, so did he really play in AFL?
@@SerasXHarkonnen OOOFFFF
Born & bred Aussie here & Eagles fan, but Mason, you are a credit to the sport of Footy. Well done big fella
Go Eagles 👍🏼🇦🇺🦘
Go Eagles! We bleed blue and gold here. 🩵💛
Let's go Freo
This i great dude, showing AFL to the mass in the US. Top stuff Lads.
I couldn't agree more, the only reason I knew about it at all is because I'm from Dallas and Coxy's story was all over the news here. I started watching Collingwood games and even bought a full 'Pies kit to wear. Everyone here asks me about it and I can't help but tell them how awesome it is, better than the NFL in my opinion by a long shot! It's the only sport on earth I love as much as Hockey(as you can tell by my Dallas Stars avatar lol)
Souless Shadow nfl will still always be the most popular in the us
Souless Shadow hahaha that’s awesome mate!
L C if you are a baller (basketball) your skills will transfer over
This is awesome Pat.. Long time supporter from Australia, man.. welcome to the world of AFL.. Best sports analyst in the world IMO.. keep it up..
Mason Cox is such a legend. I respect the American Pie for being so humble and also for picking up the sport at such a late age and still managing a successful career!
GOOD OL COLLINGWOOD FOREVER
He is now a Premiership winning player, AFL Grand Final 2023 yesterday, Collingwood defeated the Brisbane Lions 90-86
Love hearing this guy talk. I was born in Texas and lived in Australia as a kid. His mixed accent sound exactly right to me. No worries mate! I'm a new fan!
When I was a little kid, ESPN used to show Australian Rule Football on a regular basis.
NoToBigBro it’s still live on FS1 and FS2 on Friday and Saturday nights/mornings during the summer.
I remember...I used to watch it after school...
My brother and I used to crack up at the Refs when they would Signal a 6 point score...
Remember they wore Suits? Lol
Now all they show is a bunch of dopes not talking about your team
Now that job falls to FOX
Such a bad sport
What I love about Aussie Rules is, from the second he steps on the field to the final whistle, regardless of how well he's called the game BOTH set of fans give the ref so much s**t!!!
Lol.
As an born and raised Aussie I wouldn't say you "TRY and hurt your opponents". It's a rough game but there's still an aspect of respect on how you try and bump and tackle the opposition. Unless you're Toby Greene that is.
"Barry Hall has entered the chat"
Toby Greene played for the giants the newest team
@@teh_b0022 haha I was just about to put “unless your Barry Hall”
@@thejgchannel9890 still does, great player but he’s a grub
I have never heard of Mason Cox being called Coxzilla until now. As far as I am aware, he was known as The American 'pie. (Because he plays for the Magpies - Collingwood).
Been in love with AFL for something like a decade now, I'll definitely take it if my fellow Americans start following it. I know our country can be pretty insular when it comes to other countries, but I really do think most NFL fans would enjoy it, especially given AFL plays during the NFL offseason. Never been down there, but have always wanted to get down to a match. Also a preemptive sorry to Aussies. Carn the Pies!
you ruined a great comment by adding go pies! lol. great to see our sport getting some love in the States. P.S Skol Vikings!
It's funny because we're getting a lot of NFL now too, last Superbowl was on free to air TV maybe for the first time.
It's a shocking sport
NFL is quite popular in Australia too. It's the off season of football here, so NFL has a following here. Nikka Kikka the entire NFL season, playoffs and Super Bowl has been on free to air TV in Australia for at least 30 years. It's now on 7mate for probably last 8 years; and Ch 7 and ABC prior to that..
We can all argue about what is the "best" sport and go in circles...but of the football codes around the world, it is probably the most physically draining....
Elite players run half a marathon every week, get tackled from any direction....and while the bumping has been watered down over the years for player protection, these guys are bigger and run harder than previous decades so their hits are still big, kick the ball 50 metres (not yards) and do it for between 100-120 minutes of game time on an oval about 170-180 metres long....all this in nothing but a skin tight Guernsey and shorts...
I know this is a three-year-old video, but your boy Mason Cox is in a grand final today. This could be the first time and American player win the grand final. It’s a 50-50 game on who wins go Collingwood
When Mason says 'Nah..." it's a true Aussie 'Nah', nasal and all. Onya, mate.
Nah
His only downfall is he still can't say Melbourne correctly lol 😂
And his yards and metres mix - but I'll give him a pass cause he's trying to covert it for Americans.
Yeah nah
Soccer is the biggest and most important sport on Earth with over 4 billions fans and is massive in over 240 countries. Afl only has 7 million fans and massive in only 4 Australian states. Soccer will be the number 1 sport in Australia by 2050 hdjf
Australian accent is definitely starting to rub off on him
One of the best interviews you’ve done pat, well done
I really hope the AFL works out something with Pat as he learns more about it. But mainly that this sport gets more traction in the US. There is an amateur league here known as the USAFL. Friends, look it up and check it out. Most major US cities have a club and are always looking for more players, both men and women. You will love the game, and make lots of new friends, as well as drinking buddies. You may find yourself in the best shape of your life.
good on u mate
Yeah the ball Pat had is from their official site
I agree, the more exposure for our great game the better but I'd rather the AFL focus on a Tassie team than expanding outside of our national borders...
I’m American n I went to watch this team this guy plays on. This stadium is huge pictures do no justice. It was a blast a lot of good people n beers flow. It was better than any nfl game I’ve been to.
Go the pies ⚪⚫⚪ arguably one of the biggest and famous AFL team.. hated to the core by fans of other teams... Adored, legit born and bred - they call us 'one eyed' if we are Collingwood supporters.. bcoz we legit only have eyes for our team and everyone hates Collingwood supporters haha... There is no choice hence why I say 'born and bred' if your family are Collingwood supporters, that's it. You are till death do u part haha...
Good call! There was a crowd of 100.000 just for a club match in 1958
Soccer can only get close for World cup and internationals.
The MCG had 121.000 plus at one game too! Yes Collingwood again!
We love this bloke in Australia... and really enjoyed listening to the banter y'all shared.
I grew up in NJ. We had a channel that would play AFL. Took us a few games to learn rules. Have loved it ever since. It's a great game!
Caught a afl game a year or so back on espn loved it from then on. really hope they start showing the sport more here in the states
I grew up in Mass we had same thing this goes back to the 70’s maybe it was on the early days of ESPN
The league changes rules every year now days.
@@robstorm3403 well I say it's time to make ESPN great again and bring it back lol
I love how Mason calls them the little guys well there still like 6’1, 6’2
They should call him little kicks
So glad you’re bringing some recognition to this sport! I lived in Australia for 1.3 years on a working holiday visa, best time of my life?!
Pat your boy just won the all grand final!
Awesome interview guys....I'm an Aussie and don't support Mason's team, but he is a legend....to do in a few years what most of us couldn't achieve with a lifetime of experience is incredible...and this is the best US interview/commentary on the game I've seen.....
When everything settles down, get your arse over here for a couple of weeks and take in as many games as you can.....it'll blow your mind as a live sport...
Good Troll Of The West so true, the game is so much better live than on TV
Cannot believe that Jeremy Howe Cox's team mate, has not come up in the marking contests discussions, the absolute beast of spectacular marking...
I think AFL is the best sport watching live at the ground as the reaction of the crowd is amazing. So infectious.
I'm so happy to see America finally noticing this sport. I learned it in 2009 studying abroad. The first match I watched, the Lions (the closest team to where I studied) made a giant comeback to win. I've been a fan since.
McAfee has too many teeth to be a Collingwood supporter.
Needs more neck tattoos and at least half a dozen less teeth
Good one
We can change that...
Agreed
That joke is so old. I dont even understand it..........
We need to start a petition for Pat to play in the legends game.
He would deffinatly get a better appreciation of what afl athletes have to do to be successful it's not good enough to be great at one skill but have to be great at slot of skills.
@@bucky3725 you have like Hamish and and playing the the game, pat playing doesn't seem like much of a stretch
@@chloesmith5485 I don't know what Hamish is. But no pat playing the game wouldn't be much of a stretch as anyone is allowed to play the game, pat playing the game well and not looking like someone who has never kicked an AFL ball before might be though.
Oath mate
He's a good build. Would make good centre half back or centre half foward.
I'm an Aussie that has followed our game all of my life, and I have to tell anyone from the USA that when you become a member of an AFL club it's kind of like a religion, especially in Melbourne. These people are passionate.
It'd be cool for Pat to really expand the game into the US - when I was at uni all of the American exchange students were voracious footy supporters by the time they left.
Man, his mix of Texas and Australian accents is seriously tripping me out
No Australian in it
@@theskyisblue8979 are you serious? its as hybrid half/half as it gets! Youre not an aussie are you?
@@LilGRaven I am Australian and his accent has no Australian in it.
The Sky Is Blue I am Australian too and I was listening to him at the beginning of the interview before he said how long he’s been in Australia and I was sure that he had some Australian accent. At that stage I was trying to figure out how long he must’ve been in Australia to get that Australian sounding accent. I was thinking maybe a couple of years so I was actually surprised when he said six years because his accent is not that strong. But there’s definitely an Australian accent there and I picked it quite easily before they even started talking about accents.
The Sky Is Blue you must not hear to small aussie tangs in his accent? How he prounounces SOME words compared to others. Theres heaps of aussie influence in it! Odd how you cant hear it being an aussie
Just started watching Aussie rules in the past week and I love it, I’m gonna root for west coast cause they won the first match I ever watched.
Hey mate hope you enjoy, did you watch the Collingwood vs West Coast Eagles grand final , awesome game 👍 .. root has a completely different meaning here thou hahahaha
Craig Hurley yes I did watch that grand final and now I’m curious what root means
@@scottypipps1 we would say i barrack for west coast ... as for root lol its a aussie slang for sex hahahaha .... dont worry we have plenty of confusing words ... Hopefully the footy will start again soon , Go Saintsssss
Craig Hurley I hope because of pat mcafee this sport catches on in the states because it is way more entertaining than American football
@@scottypipps1 yeah i watched pats podcast and the interview he did with Mason Cox .. would be awesome if Pat could come over and see a game in person.... The AFL is actually looking into playing a game in L.A in the future.. Will be Essendon vs GWS if that happens will be good exposure
When i was 4 i went to my very first AFL game. This was the year 1999 and the club i fell in love with was essendon. 4 years later i joined my local footy team at the age of 8. I am now 25 years of age and still playing! I love this sport over any other sport in the world! The feeling i get when i run onto the ground before the game starts is like getting ready for war! It is the best feeling when you have just warmed up and the captain shows the team which way you are attacking right before the last pump up talk in huddle. When people say ball is life i think of this game straight away!!!
Hah! Being a Yank who'd lived in Oz for 7 years, I love how his accent is affected. Lost it when he said, "Stuff it." hehehe
Genuinely love how interested Pat is in the sport - hope he can get back to watching it soon!
After watching this video I immediately watched a random full aussie football game. Wow, what an amazing sport. I'm glad I had a small understanding from you guys to enjoy it. We need this in the United States. Thanks Pat and the boys!!
Check out the USAFL league!
If you would like to watch one of the best ever AFL games, watch The 2018 AFL Premiership game between West Coast Eagles vs Collingwood. Mason Cox is in this game. My side won it after an epic come back 🤗🤗🤗🤗 its on RUclips
Can't go past the 2010 GF between the saints and collingwood, ended in a draw and was sitting on the edge of my seat the whole time.
@@bucky3725 For best game of the last 20 years, I'd say 2010 Grand Final Draw......Absolute on the edge of your seat stuff.
@@jasonphillips6959 2nd that, one of the best games of all time, it had everything. Big goals, big marks, a big comeback and the latest goal to seize the lead in a grand final for something like 70 years. West coast winning makes it even better
shoutout to Mason for winning another Grand Final
I'm a Crows supporter, definitely not a Collingwood supporter, I like Big Coxy !! BTW love this conversation. cheers Huntsmen spiders are reasonably harmless
For people that don’t know, the ownership structure is very similar to the ownership structure of the Green Bay packers. The packers are owned publicly by the people of Green Bay because when they purchase their season tickets they get membership to fan facilities of the club. When you purchase a full membership of an AFL team you get a season ticket and access to club facilities. The members get to go to the club rooms which is like a locker room after the game when the players go into the club room. The money made from memberships goes to the club and helps pay for the staff and club property. The team isn’t owned by a private owner so each club is structured like a country club rather than a sports franchise. The fact that the team is non-profit means the salary cap is built for competition rather than inequality between team executives and players because theres no majority owner to profit off of the players which means there’s no financial incentives to control labour costs
Mayo Hosko spot on mate, the club membership, Helps the club survive financially... this is why, it’s called “The people’s Game”
members dont get access to facilities, dont know where you got that from
Kunaal Choksey maybe he has been in the rooms, after the game ... give him “fair dinkum” go 😂😂
Kunaal Choksey I’m talking about facilities for fans. The clubs have special restaurants or hotels with bars and indoor community/social rooms that only members have access to. I’m not talking the club training grounds or club offices. It’s like the atmosphere of a country club because it’s exclusive for members only
not sure where you heard that from either, there's no places in vic that do that.
Love the AFL... been watching for several years .I set my alarm clock so I don’t miss the games. Go Pies!!
I watched Mason and the Magpies have a great game last night, just losing to GWS. It was a great game and Cox had a huge mark and goal late to put his team close. It is a great sport. North Americans don't realize how HUGE this game is in southern Australia. I'm a Canadian and desperately miss hockey right now, AFL is a great substitute.
Sadly for my team Coxy is now a premiership winner, worth mentioning is most players are able to kick equally well off either leg
Good on ya pal for discovering Aussie Rules. I usually watch the games when the NFL season is over. Thanks for the interview with Mason.
I liked when Conan O'Brien went and trained with the Sydney Swans last year. Funny video
Absolutely hilarious
Mason Cox handled that with a lot of class. He has developed into a very handy player. A Pat McAfee speaking tour with Mason and Jacko would be sensational.
It’s crazy how u can here an Australian accent coming in and out of his voice
Went to Australia last year, saw this game live at the Uni, absolutely love it.
If you get the chance, go to an AFL game. particularly 1 at the M.C.G if possible.
Try and go in September when the finals are on.
Anzac Day match is always worth watching. It draws a massive crowd and the atmosphered is electric. Our biggest match of the season next to the Aussie Grand Final.
Awesome interview Pat! For a bloke whose just learning about AFL, you are well researched and really enjoyed listening to this.
the game is great let everyone know..talking to your team mates is key..United we stand divided we fall
The Cox-zilla. Thank you mate for bringing the sport we love in Australia, ie, AFL to the great national of the United States. If the yanks give this sport a chance who knows what the future could hold. This sport rocks. Just give this sport a chance. Big hits, massive climatic moments and carnage from first siren to last. Seriously you lot, from the USA. Check this AFL out. It's awesome!!!
Aaron Sandilands was 7ft, and thats amazing how fast he picked up our accent.
Aussie rules is around 130 years old and I cant believe a lot of the world has not heard of the best game ever.
Fell in love with Assie Rules Football back in the day when it was on the Sports Channel, some might remember when Sports Channel out bid ESPN for the NHL rights in 1988, Aussie Rules was a pleasant surprise
His accent is a great mix of Texas base with aussie flair, I love it
Mason has great energy, I really like him.
both of you are absolute legends! Makes so happy the positivity you give our game and our country! American are welcome anytime. I wish we had NFL and NHL here!
I’m glad the AFL is finally gaining more traction overseas. Such a great game deserves more recognition
The game is great. Hard as hell to watch live here where I am from ( 🇧🇷), due to lack of official broadcasting and indecent starting times in our timezone, but I'm satisfied with highlights
Coxsy gotta say thanks for ringing my boy yesterday for his birthday, he is a mad Collingwood fan and couldn't believe that you rang him. Thanks
Mind blown! I thought aussie rules football was rugby. So glad I watched this in length, thank you!
Playing in the AFL was my childhood dream. I got to play when I was in college in the early days of the sport being played in the US. I wanted to play for Adelaide or St. Kilda so bad.
Finally, people are recognizing the greatest sport ever thought up
😂 afl will never get anywhere
Boyy🤣🤣
Ikr, took long enough, this game is so old and I want it to finally be recognised overseas.
@@jacobwansleeben3364 damn I actually got that noti for some reason. And as an American, I had no clue this sport existed until my Australian friend came to visit. Now I’m more invested in the AFL than the NFL.
22:43 I love that he's not joking about Australians partying harder than anyone else.
38y.o male born and raised in Sydney City, Australia here. Pat, I've got mad respect for you, you're a really cool dude!
Pat you're the man! The best interview I got to see this year!
I used to watch it all of the time when younger and on ESPN back when they needed content and I always liked it. Once ESPN got big they didn't show a lot of these sports and I kind of moved on but missed it especially the way the officials would signify a goal or whatever it's called. Always loved the announcers and how enthusiastic they were.
If you have kayo sports you can watch it all on there. With the corona virus though the seasons currently post ponned. Coming from an aussie if i were you and you really wanted to get into aussie sports id look at the AFL and NRL youtube channels and watch the full games they have been showing until the seasons back. Go watch some NRL youd love it and its easier to pick up the basics compared to AFL.
30 seconds in an he's already kinsashaing fools to the back of the head. I'm in!!
This guy just won a premiership.
"Huntsmen" Spiders are related to Tarantulas. The have a Nasty bite (local pain and sweling) but far from deadly.
Best interview ever. I wish Americans would be more open to sports around the world. I have always been fascinated by sports like rugby and cricket but here in the US, if it's not played locally, people want nothing to do with it.
Yeah I think that's the case with lots of things in America not just sport. I think many poeple think it is just a backwater sport with no rules. This couldn't be further from the truth. This is fully professional with world leading medical and training facilities. The salaries for the players are where near as high as US sports due to Australia only having a population of around 25 Million but the crowds per capita are enormous. The best players only earn just over 1 million AUD ( 700K USD ) a year. Mason would be on 200-300K a year. The players play for about 7 months of the year and train for over 11 months of the year. Mason was correct in saying the top midfielders run 10+ miles in a game all while having to execute NFL punter level kicking on the run. Most of the Aussies who have gone to play NFL are Failed AFL players who happened to be a really good kick. If the NFL actually spent some time trying to poach the best kickers in the AFL a majority of the punters in the NFL would be Aussie. every player in the AFL must know how to kick the ball 55+ yards to a moving target. Michael Dickson is an example of this and he is one of the better punters in the NFL.
@@tomoliver2961 A bit harsh, don't you think? Darren Bennett, Ben Graham and Sav Rocca were hardly failures at AFL.
Brendan H - All 3 very good players. That’s why I said most. Maybe I should have changed it to many.
Yeah, it always seems pretty insular over there. If it's a team sport, but it's not one of the main American sports, it just doesn't seem to get a look in. Which is disappointing really. Now, I note you also say "Rugby". What do you mean by that? I'm hoping that some Americans on here start to learn that there are actually two separate sports called Rugby Union and Rugby League. They're different. You should check out some of the NRL videos on here.
I'm Canadian. I've been following AFL for about 8 or 9 years now. I cannot get enough of it. I felt drawn to Hawthorn almost right away so I support them. i have some Aussie friends who verbally destroy me for that decision.
You deserve it. Mind you I’m married to a Canadian and am a Leafs fan...
Go the Hawks!!
Neph0423 Mike Pyke was a Canadian who played for Sydney Swans. Swans are your best option.
Swans hve the same colours as the Canadian flag. I thought it was ironic Mike Pyke played for them.
I can't cheer for the Swans. Buddy Franklin left the Hawks for them. I was bitter.
Funny listening to Pat and Coxy saying how few rules there are and how fast paced it is, I remember my Dad only a few years ago complaining about how the AFL was introducing too many rules that were slowing it down and making it too soft!!
Brilliant interview.
Great stuff Pat McAfee and keep it up mate.
Aussie Rules needs much more exposure
Steve Irwin’s face is on our $3 note
Lol
XD
Dropbear on the reverse.
Lol nice. Dude has been my childhood hero growing up. RIP
Yeah it's called a croc!
I'm a richmond tigers fans. Really cool to see you guys talk about AFL on the show. Good to see Mason shining a good light on our game
crazy how his accent goes in and out from southern texas to aussie its actually pretty cool man this guys a gangster
Doggies fan here. You're hilarious. Love ya Coxy 😂
Love aussie rules. Spent many nights up at 3-4 am to watch a game. Funny how until 2016 a Grand Final game could end in a tie and have to be replayed at a later date..lol I remember the 2010 Grand Final between Collingwood and St. Kilda ending in a tie..
St kilda is my team. That gf was epic from start to finish. One of the best overall teams imo. Potty they didn't win the following week.
@@bucky3725 I thought for sure near the end of the match that Saints were going to win that.....Collingwood were better all day, but started to tire more quickly than the Saints, Saints started to pounce, but Pies held on for the Draw.....Such a good match, I think it's the best GF of the last 20 years.
@@SilentHotdog28 that year, the St Kilda midfield and defence had a big habit of starting strong, dropping off in 2nd and 3rd quarter but finishing the last 15 minutes really well, I thought they would pull it off too but pies certainly gave it everything.
From one footy fan to another, welcome aboard Pat. Great to see you promoting our great game. Hopefully you and the rest of the guys can come down for a taste of footy and a bit of Aussie hospitality. Maybe do a show from Oz? Also those highlights you showed of Mason's were mostly against my team, the Brisbane Lions. Thanks for that! We're a team from Queensland where you get a few more huntsmans and other bitey/stingy animals but we love it. Honestly though Mason Cox has been a relevation for the game. It's truely inspiring what he has achieved to date and he deserves more applause for what he's been able to do. I really hope he gets more praise from you guys in the US and from us here in Oz. Also just to note, there was a taller player than Coxzilla up until last season, 7ft 1 Aaron Sandilands but he's retired now so yep Coxzilla is probably the tallest in the league. As we love to say though, the bigger they are the harder they fall...Great show guys. Will tune in more often now. 1 last point, we play 2 styles of rugby in Oz. Rugby League and Rugby Union. I've played all of them and absolutely love them all but AFL from a playing perspective was a lot more fun.
as much i hate collingwood, i love big coxy. truly a spectacle of our game and a joy to see him play .
Had a laugh at McAfee jumping to Flight of the Conchords when thinking about Aussie culture. For those who don’t know, Flight of the Conchords is a show that parodies how often Americans mistake Kiwis for Aussies 😂 the creators of the show would love this irony.
What a great interview. We love BIG COX here in OZ!
Haha great interview. I’m not a Collingwood fan but I’ve always followed Mason to see how he’s gone each week when playing. I think he’s done remarkably well coming down here to play a game he’s never heard of, and it’s not an easy game to learn. Well done Big Coxy. 👍
Yeah I love to hate the Pies but Mason is an incredible young man, can't imagine how scary it was to fly halfway around the world to play a game you don't know, big balls you know, much respect
It’s not easy making AFL. Just playing and being good enough to get a game is an achievement.
Being an established player from overseas who has never played the game…well that’s something usually only the Irish can pull off and even that is few and fair between.
I’m not a Collingwood fan however Cox is a great player and has learnt fast. Good to see him promoting the very best game in the world. 👏👏👏👏
COXXY!!! I'm an American that has been watching AFL since the ESPN days. Great sport that is a hoot to play and watch.
