90s was the peak of AFL standards, most players could use both sides and there was little milking decisions. 2000s they stopped focusing on skill and instead referenced endurance when recruiting
@@jimmymadzcfc4836 odd I mean they are the same thing but I feel as though umpires should be for baseball cricket and other racket based sports. Something that’s not as fast paced as the AFL.
It was an eye for an eye, natural justice but also tactical. Bit like hockey, you had one or two big guys on each team to keep an eye on the smaller guys not getting hit. You also used to get quite a few snipers who made some cowardly cheap shots. It was all part of it but it ruined some blokes for life too. Players also used to verbally abuse umpires too on occasion. Different time.
AFL fans pretending just because it isn’t as rough as it was 40 years ago, it has become a soft sport lol. There is something called players health. Aussie Rules is still one of the roughest sports out there with (more) severe injuries almost every game. But I do agree with the portrayal of the 50 penalty, that has become an utter joke.
💯 Highs and concussions ruined a lot of players lives, look at all the old guys walking around with CTE. And refs deserve respect - they make mistakes but they're a human element in the game like players
@@Secretlyanothername perfectly put. I am sometimes baffled by refs, but in the next game, they put on a perfect performance. They deserve more credit when they put on a good performance. Players must be protected, many former AFL players struggle severely. The game doesn’t have to be utter warfare to be enjoyable.
imagine what the 60's and 70's were like back then.... you'd hear the crowd boo and there's the full forward on his arse and the full back standing with his arms out like "what did i do?". no multi cameras, no replays, if the umpire didn't see it then it never happened.

That last one was genuinely quite funny
Yeah 'eye contact'😄😄
It's funny because it's true.
So funny😂
Eye contact 💀💀💀
💀💀💀💀
I was laughing when he said is he looking at me
The 80s....peak Australian civilisation.
Not really, 80s were high elbows on a player with eyes on the footy, unmanly to say the least
90s was the peak of AFL standards, most players could use both sides and there was little milking decisions.

Eh if I watch 80s and 90s games now it pisses me off to see so many players in the defensive 50 kick directly for the boundary😆
The old high contact + eye contact...rough
I've seen this a million times and it still is so funny
That may be the most hilarious drive by elbow ever put to film. So casual, love it.
50 meters you did the extremely common gesture of disapproval by putting your arms up. 300 meters for looking back at me.
first 50 wasn't just the language, but the way he threw the ball at him
Richmond player pokes someone umpires “50 meter”
Why is this so true for an Aussie 😂😂😂
As a local umpire, this was fkn funny
If the Australians are complaining about crap like this, then we as a society must come together and stop these refs once and for all.
Which refs?
Not trying to be rude but we call them Umpires

@@bobheyotue9850 Oh well I prefer umpire then ref anyway
@@jimmymadzcfc4836 maybe it’s just because I’m American .
Is he looking at me👹
Eye contact 😂
This is me when I get angry playing footy (in the 80s the guy who said UMPIRE!?!?)
I love when he gave away a fifty the umpire brought him back to his goals not the one he’s kicked at for the game
Eye contact was a legitimate lol.
Why is this so true😂❤
The last one was absolutely hilarious
You forgot to add the reign of hands on the back... One of the worst rules
Bro this is so true!!!! 😂
‘Nothin in zat grow a pair of balsh…’ 💀
This is so good. 'Nothin in dat won grow a pebble'
and the 'eye contact' Lol
I actually got in trouble by the umpire from rolling my eyes after I tackled a guy hard and complained
I remember in the 90s Michael Voss literally put Alan Richardson in a coma and it was play on, lol.
Australians are kin to Canadians! Nothing but love from the great white north to the land down under!
😂😂😂 well done boys, born in 79 I can definitely relate. 😂😂😂
Modern umpires have ruined the game. Players should be treating the game like it was last century.
As an American learning about the AFL, I'm sad that I missed the 80's AFL!

Last one was hilarious 😂🔥
I can’t even shake my friends hand after the game at school
So true though, afl has got so much softer
😂 that’s gold boys ! Nailed it!
AFL umpiring in 2025: "but you were thinking it"
The umpire ran the wrong way in that last one 😂
Extremely accurate
Is this comedy or just a genuine documentary hard to tell at this point 😂😂😂

TTFU as chopper would say.
Should do kicking at goal over the decades. Nothing has changed 😂
BAHAHHAHAHA😂
Love the Razor Ray umpiring at the end there
In 2023 I conceded a 50 because I threw the ball to the man awarded the free and he dropped the catch 😂

Fuuuuck, I am crying 😂 this is spot on
Cados with the brief cameo 🐐
The 80s was personal💀

This so true how times have changed
Please do one about the goal umpires
Very accurate
Afl when they see a non Victorian club winning against a Victorian one:
This needs to be shown on bounce
Which ground was this?
Eye contact 😂😂😂
Yep, that's about what it's descended to when some umpires think they control the game.
so true
This is so true
Dissent has effectively been thrown into the bin. Not paying it these days.
Lol but also now high tackles are allowed
The best so funny!
True
Hilarious but true no more touching allowed
That's every sport now
Hey in Melbourne I have been on that oval
