AFL: We are going to stamp out all dangerous bumps from the game so the kids can learn bumping bad Also AFL: Here’s a highlights package of some bone rattling bumps so the kids can learn bumping good
Daniel Chicks smother won West Coast that premiership. Not only set up the goal but the shepherd to give Hunter an easy shot, one of the best one percentage plays in footy history
Ben Johnson's tackle on Burgoyne, with Stephen Quartermain's commentary over the top, awoke an old, long forgotten memory from when I was like 5 or 6 years old. I must have had this game taped to watch the end after I woke up the next morning or something (I was a young fella remember), and I remember now playing that moment dozens of times over and over the next few days
@@lukevacca1537 Thats a fair point but its also simply very poor awareness on the biggest stage of all as Tim Lane and Robert Walls pointed out. Clarke should disposed the ball sooner but waited far too long.
The heath Shaw smother. Best smother iv ever seen, but I always thought he can so close to a broken rib. If he was a little closer to revolt he would’ve been the ball and copped an absolute shoe to the ribs
Back when you could hammer a bloke fairly in a contest and not get penalised, absolutely beautiful. 2007 was the last year the rules still rewarded the toughest player.
Soccer is the greatest sport on earth and is massive in over 240 countries. Every country on earth loves soccer. AFL is only big and only relevant in 4 Australian states. It is a minority sport in Qld, NSW and ACT. Soccer will be the No. 1 sport in Australia by 2050 and in all countries on earth by 2100.
Soccer is a European game. Of course it is going to be one of the most popular sports if most of the countries in the world were colonised and invaded by these Europeans. The cultures and sports of these nations were destroyed and millions of people were killed to make way for the European culture and it’s game, not such a “beautiful game” now isn’t it. Australian Football was a game originally invented by our First Nation’s people which was called “Marn Grook”. Eventually the game would be noticed by the Europeans settlers and it would be shaped into the beautiful game that it is today. If soccer was really that powerful as you thought it was, it would’ve already been the number one sport long ago in the 1800’s-1900’s. However the Australian people didn’t want to follow the European game of football, why would they want to if the Australian game of football was more exciting, action packed and not overly repetitive (unlike soccer). Soccer theoretically should have been number 1 long ago, besides the nation who invaded and colonised the Great Southern Land invented the bloody game. But the power of Australian Football withstood the European game due to the uniqueness of the sport and the excitement that it attracted from the Australian public. If you ask me, I find it pretty embarrassing that the nation who invented soccer couldn’t make the sport the number one game in it’s own colony! Fast forward to today, Australian Football is at the best it has been in its lifetime in terms of popularity across Australia. Did you know that 1 in every 23 Australians are a member of an AFL club? Meanwhile, the A-League gets less supporters to its games than the NRL and the national soccer team has only played in one World Cup Semi Final in it’s 100 history. Soccer may be the number 1 participated sport in Australia, however that is because the other sports that are available to play in Australia are more physical and demanding. Rugby is a very physical sport where only the strongest and better body types can play, Australian Football is not as physical but requires more stamina and skill which can be tough for new players who haven’t played the sport as a kid/teenager. I remember hearing that people thought that soccer was going to be the number one sport in the 80’s. That never happened. You’re claiming that soccer is going to be number one in 2050? Have a look at your sport’s history in Australia bud. The national team is an embarrassment, the A-League lacks fans, the sport is just too simple and boring compared to AFL. Don’t try persuade me that the Socceroos will do better in the future, they won’t. Academies and “professional” regional soccer clubs in Australia cost way too bloody much anyways. The talent pool is only limited to the rich. Most of the most famous soccer players came from slums, poor neighbourhoods or some average neighbourhood. The only players you see coming from rich households are the ones who are the sons of famous soccer players. Australia’s real soccer talent is being blocked from being allowed to show off their skills to the nation’s top teams and selectors because of their socioeconomic status. Why should people try to become soccer players if it’s too bloody expensive to even try to become one? It would be much cheaper to become an AFL player or an Olympian. Soccer doesn’t deserve to be Australia’s number one sport and it never will. Australian Football has a proud history in Australia that soccer can’t compare to. It’s a rich man’s sport in Australia and if you’re not willing to pay the big bucks just to have a shot, you’ll never make it anywhere in soccer in Australia. To answer your spam, soccer will never become number 1 in Australia. It simply doesn’t deserve to. AFL is a game for everyone and does not discriminate against your socioeconomic status and is an open playing field for those who have the skills and determination to become a true AFL professional.

@@TomasUjhelyi They absolutely would based on how much the rules have changed. Most of those tackles in this video and that whole era resulted into very hard contact into the ground for the players been tackled. In the modern game such psysical tackles like those aren't allowed period. They would be deemed 'unsafe' and 'dangerous' in today's officiating.
“Came up behind him like a librarian” will never get old
Great moment
was about to make the same reference. Genius!

The AFL thinks they've made the game better. Then the AFL shows us all the highlights from when the game was better than now
@@joshbignell8891 Yup, hardly watch anymore just way over officiated. Check the scores and highlights the day after
Bloody hell, Reiwoldt certainly didn't have much luck kicking for goal 😂
If that one went in 😭
Daniel Chicks smother won West Coast that premiership. Not only set up the goal but the shepherd to give Hunter an easy shot, one of the best one percentage plays in footy history
Run down tackles are super exciting, great part of our game.
Ah the glory days of Byron Pickett flattening players left, right & centre
The majority of this magnificent tackles would've end up in the tribunal this days
Rightfully so I’d say

At least the AFL can put out 11min 17sec of good footy as the current games certainly aren’t
That run down from Max Rooke on Ralph Clarke for the first goal was legendary.
I'd argue idiotic from the Saints player that ran around Clarke, led Rooke straight to Clarke
@@lukevacca1537 Thats a fair point but its also simply very poor awareness on the biggest stage of all as Tim Lane and Robert Walls pointed out. Clarke should disposed the ball sooner but waited far too long.
Some spectacular smothers! Great upload!
The heath Shaw smother. Best smother iv ever seen, but I always thought he can so close to a broken rib. If he was a little closer to revolt he would’ve been the ball and copped an absolute shoe to the ribs
I’ve been waiting for this
Greatest game in the world !
keep making vids like this really like it
Missing the Didak smother, goal and shimmy from 2010 GF replay
Hayes' tackle on Swan 2010 GF
they wont be able to make one of these for 2020-2030 because every hard bump and tackle gets a suspension
Yeah I don't think Riewoldt is gonna watch this one
Dimma showing his true feelings about ninthmond
The hardest part of the game, stop the other guy and go forward !
These days they're all free kicks
Well this list probably wont get many new additions
Who else can't wait for finals, reply who you think will win the premiership, brownlow, MOTY, GOTY
first great vid
Poor old St Kilda
Back when you could hammer a bloke fairly in a contest and not get penalised, absolutely beautiful. 2007 was the last year the rules still rewarded the toughest player.
Love seeing Brisbane flogs get dropped
Half of these bumps are illegal now
What about Cyril chase down tackle on that crappy west coast player in the 2015 granny?
Up the hawks
If someone did these today they’d be suspended
cats will win

Such is how ridiculously soft the game has become.
No. They wouldn't.
