I'm going to watch my first match this Friday Round 11 • Brisbane Lions v GWS Giants
Friday 27 May 2022 • 11:45 PM (EDT) USA time!!! Let's gooooooooooo Lions.
Sounds like you found a new rabbit hole. You are gonna love AFL. Can’t wait to see more reactions about our aussie sports.
@@markdeguara7190 Mark I'm ready tomorrow night let's goo.
How'd you go
@@auzknightps4482 NOT WELL...i try games all day and just wont work for me but there is a game in 30 minutes i think it should work. St Kilda v North Melbourne
@@CVTECK1 sadly that won't be a close game lol. North is not having a good year.
If you hold out 2 hrs carlton v Coll should be a good game.
Get the time diff makes it pretty hard for you especially with kids.
Hope your well. Good luck
There is such a special Aussie joy in watching reactors of two types - music fans discovering John Farnham, and true sports fans discovering the majesty that is AFL 🥰 welcome, brother 🇦🇺
Melting My heart Renee thank you and I LOVE IT!!!
lol literally my youtube history atm
This is the greatest sport on earth. Those who say otherwise have not seen it played, nor understand the rules. It's fast, brutal and spectacular. The game was first played in 1858. The Melbourne football club, established in 1859, is the oldest in the world.. Being the 4th highest attended domestic sport on the planet says it all. There is nothing that compares to being in a crowd of 100,000 people cheering. Welcome to the AFL rabbit hole. If you are genuinely interested, I suggest you start by watching the highlights of the 2018 West Coast vs Collingwood Grand Final, and then begin your journey. Greatest marks, big hits, best goals. The list is endless. Cheers from Downunder.
Collie this is a reaction video but what sets me apart from other is i love sports and im so into sports that make that hair on my arm stand up. funny thing is i just watched Collingwood v Fremantle round 10. i'm 100% in Collie. I love it.
Amen brother!
Yeah brother react to any grand final
I'll suggest 2017 afl grand final
Should go for Richmond just one 2020 2019 2017 and more one of the biggest and best fan bases in the world the most fun to support
Aussie rules started in the late 1800's. Rugby is a different sport completely; plus we have two codes, Rugby Union and Rugby League. The AFL developed from the expansion of the Victorian Football League(VFL) in the 1980's. Most games now have quarters that mostly exceed 30 minutes. The AFL has teams from Victoria, along with teams from South Australia, Western Australia, New South Wales and Queensland.
They are COMPLETELY different. Both rugby codes are sports based around huge blokes running into each other monotonously over and over, whereas Australian football is based on extreme all-round athleticism. These players run 13-16 KMs per game, and they have to be incredibly strong, have amazing endurance and to execute the difficult skills of the game under constant extreme pressure is incredible. At the same time, they can soar spectacularly like an eagle, almost defying gravity. It is BY FAR the superior spectacle.
I love it. "Blokes" sounds funny haaaaa I'm guessing that's a term for players right?
@@CVTECK1 ‘blokes’ just means men/guys.
Have you seen the NRL players lately, they're not as big as they used to be,ten years ago you'd be lucky to get 5 raider players into a mini van but the game has changed and the athletic build of league players is now similar to AFL by the rule changes making it a faster game to which the audience wants. Even go back look at the 70s and 80s there weren't many league players running around over 90 kegs
I discovered this as an exchange student in Melbourne it's the best unknown sport . It's incredible to watch live. I still watch it. Its like the scoring of the NBA with the physical attributes of the nfl
I love it as well and i been watching Melbourne so it's kinda my team now haaa.
Codified in the mid-1850's also has Australian Koorie (Aboriginal) roots from a game they play called Marngrook which involved kicking a stuffed possum skin around.
What is good about the game is the oval ball. When the creators of Aussie Rules, Tom Wills and others, designed the game, they deliberately wanted an element of randomness in the game and so chose a ball that would be erratic in play, which is the oval ball. The ball keeps every player on alert!
The AFL was originally called the Victorian Football League (VFL). Aussie Rules originated around 1850.
Aussie Rules is basically a 360 degrees, freewheeling game, with game play more akin to soccer, hockey or even basketball. A sort of cross between soccer, if you could pick up the ball and tackle, and UFC.
That's a lot of sports being compared to afl but not rugby. I know it's a different sport but it's close. All I know is that it looks fun to play and watch I'm in.
To tell the difference...American football is almost the same as Rugby..since American football originally came from rugby.
Aussie Rules football is a totally separate game that was invented in Australia and was declared a proper sport in the 1850's...even before soccer, rugby or American football...making it the oldest football code in the world.
It has small leagues in other countries (including the US) that started by Australians that moved to those countries where locals took a liking to it...but because of Australia's relative isolation it has not had much time to spread around the world.
I'm all in Steven i can't wait for Friday night. I will have some snacks and drinks ready.
In the mid 1800s the cricket players travelled by sea, took 3 months plus, so they stayed a couple years then sailed back, the cricket players invented Aussie rules to keep fit in the off season, the very 1st game had hundreds of people, no teams, just get the ball 🙄, the biggest clubs have 100 thousand members, smaller teams have 50 to 60 thousand members, our field in Adelaide seats 55 thousand, in Melbourne the MCG seats 100 thousand, at about 30 dollars 💸 for a day ticket, 400 dollars for 11 game membership 👍
Actually the Aboriginals invented the basics of this game and it has been refined .
Love seeing your passion for a finding a new sport. To be honest the only real similarities between AFL and Rugby is that you can you can tackle and the occastional field goals kicked in rugby can sometimes be similar to AFL goals. AFL is much more of an airiel sport compared to rugby with marks (catching the ball) and in particular speckies (a player jumping on another player to mark the ball) being a pretty iconic part of AFL.
Some videos recommendations to give a bit of a wide range of AFL things:
- Cyril Rioli highlights (Probably the most skilled player I've watched in my life)
- Either the top 50 marks of all time - Or the Best of the decade: 2010-2019 spectacular marks
- Eddie Betts greatest goals of all time
- The 2018 AFL Grand Final highlights (one of the best grand finals ever).
- AFL biggest hits
- The history of the AFL (If you like that stuff)
Got it... Thank you Riley. Looking forward to watching a game tomorrow night my time and maybe pick a team as well. But I'm all in.
@@CVTECK1 That’s awesome to hear mate! Have you found being able to watch games over there easy enough? Is there a type of player or team you usually like to watch or is there stuff like team market size you usually like? Happy to help if you’ve got any questions about those things to narrow it down a bit with there being heaps of teams to get through.
@@____Riley____ my first game ever is in few hours and then i can start to pick a team to cheer for... I'm a under dog guy you know. I'll let you guys know how my first game went. i have some food and drinks ready... going to watch Lions game later and there in second place and im a Lio so we shall see who i root for.
@@CVTECK1 Sounds good! I'm assuming you're talking about the Tigers vs Swans game later which should be a great game and for us hear in Aus it's the Friday night game of the round which is usually the biggest game each week. Richmond was the powerhouse club over the last few years winning 3 premierships from 2017-2020. But they look to be on the decline a bit and are now fighting to stay in the top 8. Sydney are consistently a good team and you usually see them in the top 8.
The Lions have become great team over the last couple of years after about a decade at the bottom so they're definately exciting to watch and would hope to go far this season but they've still a little bit of an underdog just because they're still building as a team.
@@____Riley____ im going to watch the Sydney Swans v Richmond 7th and 8th seed i think is cool to see who can stay above 8th place... i learned so much in the last 2 days lol. the game will be 5am for me but im ready and i might just stay up all night.
We have all codes of Football in Australia, but Rugby’s roots are in New South Wales and Queensland. AFL’s roots are in the southern States Tasmania, Victoria and South Australia, Western Australia and the Northern Territory. Saying that, Victoria now has a Rugby team and AFL has a small footprint in New South Wales, ACT and Queensland. We play, soccer all over Australia and we actually have an American gridiron ground locally. We start attending “Footy” early. It is a family game and it is rare that a family member supports a different team. It’s like a religion. I once sat next to a couple who had their baby dressed in their team coloured jump suit in the baby capsule seat. It is a very fast game that gets so thrilling when the score swaps backwards and forwards. We organised a Company night at the football once and a Vietnamese member of staff attended with us and brought her husband along. They became so excited that the husband was vibrating up and down on the balls of his feet. So funny to see a first timer get that excited. Australians love their football no matter what code it is. Imagine one City, Melbourne in the State of Victoria having NINE professional AFL teams and another regional team, Geelong. It’s like the video says “it’s a big deal”.
Awesome reaction mate! Definitely do more AFL. There is a rivalry between the two but they both great sports.
Check out “AFLs Biggest Hits Part 1” it’s only like 4 minutes but has nonstop hits. Brutal stuff
Yummmmm sorry i added few mm haaaa. yes i love both sport right now. i will add that to the list.
Most football fans in Australia either follow Aussie Rules, Rugby or Soccer. There is not much overlap in the fan bases of Aussie Rules and Rugby unless you are a true sports lover. Most don't know much about the details of the others game. There is more overlap with Australian Soccer fans and the other football codes however but soccer also has a fanatical following.
this is true about us soccer fans Philip. I'm so invested to sports in my personal life and so AFL is a must for me right now.
AFL has never looked as much like soccer as it does right now..
Nrl would be more popular than Rugby
@@amandstunts NRL is an Australian organisation that plays Rugby LEAGUE, the more popular code of the two Rugby codes played in Oz. Rugby Union is, by far, the largest of these three sports in terms of number of nations with regustered global Associations, and hence International acceptance.
@@amandstunts LOL, only in Australia. Rugby league by your definition isn't rugby?
Awesome reaction mate...Aussie rules dominates Australia...crows bloke here from adelaide
I'm happy for this video because I'm so ready for my first game Friday night. lets goooooooooooo
@@CVTECK1 that's great to hear mate...should be a good game Friday...killer channel mate have a good one
@@mattcopley189 i want to see some Brisbane Lions game witch i will, but Richmond vs Sydney Swans battle for 8th place should be fun.
Yeah definitely mate the way Brissie is goin this year they might be in the grand final....nsw and Queensland is rugby dominated the rest of Aus is afl.....crows bloke here in Adelaide so not much excitement for my team atm......top bloke cheers 🍺
By the way when they show the scores in three batches, the first score is the number of goals (in the example it would be 20x6), the second is the number of Behinds (10x1). The last column is the score multiplied out. The example shows the difference that is made when teams have a similar number of attempts on goal but where one is more accurate. 😀
Michaela is was puzzled by the 200 plus on the last column when it came to the score so thank you on that. Nice name by the way.
G'day mate , I follow port Adelaide, the club was founded in 1870, but Melbourne demons is the oldest club started in 1850
There's an American playing AFL and there is a 7min. documentary about him. It's called Mason Cox "Don't believe in never", enjoy.
Thanks Roy I have mason on my list and I will watch the video.
Afl started in 1859 , it is 170 year old game
My preference is Aussie Rules over Rugby or Rugby League. It is player v player / one on one. Really any person can play Aussie Rules regardless of size. If you watch an AFL game note on the back of the players team Guernsey you can notice a small rectangular shape. This is a GPS tracker and the broadcaster can show you how much ground a player has covered, during a game. It is nothing for some of the players to run basically a half marathon during a game. When you at the ground watching a game the time clock counts up at the start of each quarter. The actual quarter is 20 minutes, but as a spectator at the ground you have no idea when the siren goes to end that quarter as the ground clock does not stop. The quarter could go 30 minutes plus. The TV broadcast is the opposite so it takes the excitement out if it is the last quarter and a close game.
To see the passion I would suggest watching the "Final Draw Collingwood V StKilda 2010 Grand Final Documentary"
There have only been 3 drawn Grand Finals in over 100 years plus.
Enjoy our own indigenous sport. Cheers.
I noticed they keep track of how running a player has done and that's amazing to runn that much in one game. But it's what I love about sports, the hard work that goes into it. Who is your team?
As someone who's grown up in the UK, I don't get Aussie rules, but from everything I've seen it looks amazing! Hard hits, athleticism, teamwork, skill, tactics, it's got it all. The problem is it is only really played in Australia so no one else really knows about it yet. No one else grew up playing it, can watch it and follow it regularly and appreciate the finer details of the game. Rugby (union more so than league now) has been played around the world and has the broadcast time and marketing it keep up its fanbase, though I suspect is not as entertaining to watch as AFL if you grew up with both. A similar niche sport that i think you'll be intrigued by is Gaelic Football, only really played in Ireland!
If you look up AFL teams there are a number of Irish players spread amongst the teams. The two codes have many similarities (the Irish are the maddest) so much so that to gain an Internationl presence the two combine to play what is called International Rules. So each year an All Australian team plays an All Ireland team. The AFL boffins do their best to spread the word but it is difficult to ever see it with the global popularity of RU for World Cup and Northern and southern Hemisphere Nations Tourrnaments and indeed the Olympics Rugby Sevens.
AFL is basically union with no offside,you can't hold the ball,you have to release it legally when tackled,you can't bring the ball back under you if you're off your feet,the ball is always live. So just imagine union where it doesn't matter what side you come in from and you'll understand afl
@@flamingfrancis trying to find grounds big enough restricts the growth and as it's an indigenous game to Australia all the other codes were introduced by expats from different nation immigrating. As most Aussies don't immigrate there's not big pockets of Australian communities overseas to start competitions like say soccer or rugby did in other countries
In Australian terms you have to bounce the ball every 15 metres.
The players dont actually bounce it every 15 metres, it is within the limit.
So players might bounce it every 7, 10 or 12 metres aslong as they dont run the full 15 metres without bouncing the ball.
That is a skill to me Brad. Knowing that part of the rule but it's more just your body and brain bein in sync is so cool
It was stated to keep Cricketers fit in the off season.
It's been around since 1858 and the VFL has been around since 1897.
Welcome to one of the best sports in the world.
Les i'm happy to discover it thank you.
You completely forgot to make any mention of the remarkable similarities between AR and an Indigeneous game played for centuries longer.
Australian football was influenced by a game the indigenous people of Australia played called Marn Grook Australian football has very much cemented it's place as Australia's biggest sport Australian football is played in every state of Australia rugby is primarily played in just Queensland and New South Wales
Ross i searched Marn Grook and i love the history thank you so much. I'm learning but man Australian football got my heart right now. So Ross do you mind me asking Rugby or Australian football?
@@CVTECK1 that's basically like asking an American NFL or soccer unless you're asking in Queensland or New South Wales I suppose well I'm South Australian so I'm deep in AFL territory it's only a personal preference but I only watch the women's league now awesome league it is don't give a fuck what anyone says
@@rossbiggins8309 I understand what you mean. But Ross woman's league OMG now I'm just overwhelmed bro...It's late here in the states and i'm watching games from few days ago on my projector loving it. My GF thinks i been going crazy haaaaa talking about the sport around the house but im all in!!!!!
@@CVTECK1 oh that's cool everyone at work only seems to watch men's which is cool but there's really nothing I can talk to them about as I don't watch those games ruclips.net/video/UaQwJio_sLY/видео.html the season has finished here is a link to the grand final highlights our crows girls won their third premiership this year
love your going to watch AFL for the first time.. You should support the Greatest team on earth! The Carlton Football Club !!
Founded in 1864..
I have an idea on who to support and i'll make a video for it.
Hahaha yep AFL is a TOTALLY different sport to Rugby. In Australia, the two states that are THE Rugby League states are NSW and Queensland - all the rest of Australia is all over AFL.
Dr_kap The tug of war is great from a sports fan looking from a distance and im going to find my footing into the Footie match soon.
@@CVTECK1 I’m looking forward to seeing you react to a game, or even AFL top marks ( a mark is when a player jumps high to catch a kicked ball).. Also check this out- This happened about a month ago and was a big deal. Will probably never happen again they say..
ruclips.net/video/HgM3W6gnJGg/видео.html
And yet the most successful and trend setting NRL Club for over two decades has been Victorian....Melbourne Storm.
Glad you enjoyed it. Plenty of history with Aussie Rules. Rugby Union is older, but Rugby League isn not.
I have subscription to a streaming service for overseas viewers of AFL. Happy to share with you and watch with at the same time and explain what’s happening during a game.
Im happy to discovered the sport as well. I got a firestick with all the channels on it now let's go. i can't wait for playoffs!!!
Sorry bro, you're close but Rugby league split from Union in 1895 & Aussie rules started in 1897.
@@godfroi10991 AFL is not Aussie Rules. Aussie Rules first official rules of the game were established in 1859. Melbourne Football Club was established in 1858. 11th oldest football club in any code, in the world.
@@iainshearer6959 You're totally right mate. I was referring to when the clubs came together to form the first official league which was 1897. I was trying to keep it simple for someone just starting to get into the sport. I'm a Saints fan and they formed in 1873. I'd have to write a bloody novel to explain all the teams origins. But no argument here bro, you're right, no disagreement here! You know your Football!
Well this Saturday Saints play the Sydney Swans, 7 versus 8 on the ladder but the money is on Sydney but I have tipped
St Kilda. We are halfway through the season and are desperate to remain in the top 8. We were 4th on the ladder until last weekend. Saints lost their game and other teams won and pushed us down to 8th.
I just re-watched your video on AFL, and for someone that has no idea about the game in that 10 minutes or so they have basically explained the rules of the game for a learner. Really there are not that many rules to the game. The crowd know the rules and they let the umpire know about it if the reckon the umpie gets it wrong.
All the best CVTECK1 Cheers Neil.
AFL was easy to pick up and understand right away. I just needed to discover the sport first witch I'm happy I did. Playing for the top 8 is fun to see who can make before the playoffs. I'm ready
In the 1950s it started, the cricket players used to play it for a warm up game before they played cricket. Then they made it a game for everyone
1850s
Rugby player here. Love AFL it’s a bloody great sport. Australia is sports made and will follow most sports.
Sports mad, not made
There are jump many jump balls, including to restart after every goal
I wonder if it was only at the start of the game.
CVTECH1 my team id the mighty Saints, StKilda. I was 9 years old when they won their first Grand Final in 1966. Now I am 65 and still waiting for their second so I can get there logo tattooed on me before I die!!
They beat Collingwood by 1 point back then, but they keep losing the big dance, 5 other times over the last 149 years .
Watch the doco I mentioned, as Collingwood has won a total of 44 Grand Finals since 1892. Saints have only the one since 1873 so I still live in hope!!
Like I keep saying........maybe this year????.........Go The Sainters!!
Well Neil you just planted a seed in my mind. Going forward I will watch the saints with you in mind. Get ready for some tattoo. With a name like the mighty saints just keep that faith going. Fingers crossed Neil!!!
AFL Was born in Melbourne in the 1880s.it’s one of the oldest codes predating Rugby. It’s fast and exciting and passionately supported
Actually, I think it was 1858.
AFL is the OG - it’s older than any footy type sport out there.
It's a combination of a lot of sports, as others mentioned been around for over 100 years, use to be a free for all, rules have changed heaps throughout the years.
We are half way through the season now. Time to react to different clubs, choose one and support man.
You have a lot to catch up on, the rabbit hole is very deep. Good luck
Matt i just told matt that i watched Collingwood v Fremantle game round 10 im all in... I will say me being all in as a reaction wont look great but im happy i found the port lets goooooooo. I need a team but i need time.
Some great players to check out are Lance "buddy" Franklin, Eddie Betts, Dustin Martin, and Gary Ablett Jr. They're some of the best of the last 5-10 years
4:27 thats not quite right. A 'mark' is when you catch the ball, after another player (from either team) kicks the ball and it travels over 15 meters.
If any player (from either team) touches the ball in between the kicker disposing of it, and the receiver catching it, then it is not a mark and it is play on.
Same as in when scoring a goal. 6 points through the middle.
1 point either side (big and little post).
1 point if it hits the post (the two middle, larger posts)
1 point if it is touched by an opposition player, in any way, before crossing the goal line.
1 point if touched by a team mate by anything other than their foot/below the knee.
out of bounds, and a free kick to opposition player if ball hits either small post 'on the full' (which means leaving the players boot and striking the small post without the ball having hit the ground first)
and a throw in if the previous action happened and the ball did hit the ground (of either team).
After having wrote this it looks fucking confusing but it all makes perfect sense once you watch it a few times.
Forgot to mention. What they were referring to in the video is a mark. Specifically what we would call a 'speccy' or 'spectacular catch' It just looks good but doesn't mean anything more that a regular mark.
Ps I was going to say those three states is AFL homes mainly, obviously Victoria is the home of Aussie Rules, Cricket would be Australia Wide especially when we play England.
AFL is so much older then sports like basketball it’s mind boggling to think how well it’s unintentionally merged traits from so many other sports
Lots of Aussies will only follow one code but it seems to be becoming more common to enjoy multiple. Their different sports, nothing wrong with enjoying more than one in my opinion.
Josh my first game is this Friday i can't wait and I'm watching the lions game and i believe their in second place.
Game to watch.
Last year's Grand Final. Two teams who dominated all year. See saw game in the middle of covid. Cost $2500 to get there and watch as it was at the other end of the country, US say Florida to LA.
Older than rugby league and US football. 1858 for the oldest still competing teams. Enjoy.
I love it Nick.
Afl is a really old sport it started in the 1800s
This is the first football anywhere. Older than your NRL. It is fast and fun, played by elite players that can run up to 20 kilometre’s a game while keeping all skills. It was started to keep our Cricket players fit during the off season. This is more fun than Cricket and the Women’s teams are just as tough, they are the AFLW league and are getting more teams each year. There is usually a live game on RUclips each weekend because a lot of Americans have learned to love it.
You have 50 teams in America who play it but they don’t belong to Cities you would expect. Look up Mason Cox, he is our only American player and in my team. Mason is 6’ 11” tall and he signed up before he ever saw a game.
People here love one or the other but more of us love AFL and Rugby League. I was raised to love all sports so I love Rugby Union and soccer too. I have had an NRL team since I was a child. My Dad played Rugby League and Field Hockey after I was born, he was also a Road Cycle Racer. He taught us if either team does something good then you had better acknowledge it. If we can only cheer for our team then stay home. I miss him.
good to see you like the game mate. I like multiple codes of football, rugby included, but I grew up with AFL. if you wanna keep watching, a brilliant game happened recently between Sydney and Carlton which you can watch the highlights of on yt. also, for more in depth rules for both this and rugby and really any other sport you're interested in, watch the video by the channel Ninh Ly. hope that helps you, cheers!
I will look Ninh up thanks Wil. what doe's code mean? my first game is friday and saw one team with only 4 points in 10 games ohh boy.
@@CVTECK1 Hey man, code just means what type of football, so afl, rugby union, rugby league, soccer, nfl, any of it. the points you saw is the ladder/table points system. 4 points for a win, 2 for a draw/tie, 0 for a loss. so that means the team you saw have probably only won one game in 10 (draws/ties are incredibly rare), which is universally pretty bad lol
@@soznomic I'm on the website looking and learning as we speak. yeah 4 points is not looking to good haaa.
The bouncing every 15 meters isn’t hard. These players have been doing it since they were small kids, so at least ten-fifteen years before becoming professional. AFL was codified in 1858 so predates rugby, soccer and American football. There is another What is AFL video by a guy with an English accent that goes more into the positions of field and other things to note such as umpire throw ins and penalties. The reason the ground is so large is that it’s a cricket oval. Cricket played in summer months and AFL in the winter, another sport worth checking out.
I think rugby is a little older but Aussie Rules is older than most ball games as a codified sport
You should check out the only American in the league. Mason Cox. He has a video on RUclips called ('Mason Cox Don't Believe in Never') it tells his journey from Texas to Australia.
thank Kirk...I will look into that asap!!!
This is the original. Out of all the games called football Aussie rules is the oldest codified competition
Rugby fans don't really follow AFL but AFL is definitely the more popular sport as measured by fans. That said, the single biggest sporting event by TV viewers is the annual State of Origin series. Three games played between the 2 rugby strongholds of the states NSW and Queensland. Aussie Rules has been described as a bunch of seagulls fighting over a chip (as in French fry).
I love afl and I'm not afraid to take on another sport like rugby. AFL is my NFL for the summer it's a great switch.
We love our footy in Australia. Go the mighty Pies. 🤘🍻
Basicly AFL or as it was previously know before 1990 as the VFL and was invented as a way to keep cricket players fit during the off season (winter). This is the reason its played on the size of a cricket oval .On May 17, 1859, Hammersley, Smith, Thompson and Wills, gathering at Bryant's Hotel in East Melbourne, wrote the 10 rules that formed the basis of what has become today's game.
This 'keep cricketers fit' myth keeps popping up. It wasn't invented for that reason - it was a line that Tom Wills told to the Melbourne Cricket Club so they'd let him and his mates play their experimental footy games on the cricket field, which was the only cleared, flat bit of ground near to town.
great info thank you Cam!!!
Aussie rules is 150yrs old. Played on cricket ovals.
Midfielders will run over 10miles per game.
A good game is truly electrifying. It's hard and fast with constant ebbs and flows.
Try best marks, best goals, and hardest hits. 2 wuperstara to checkout are eddie betts and dusty martin.
It's Australia's national sport.
sure will Mark thanks. I heard someone say there's a Woman's league?
Entirely different sport to rugby....It's 164 years old . Invented by Tom Wills in 1858....GREAT GAME.....
You should watch the Best of Dustin Martin. Also 2020 AFL Grand Final.
on the list thank you Gail!
Ive never seen someone hooked so quickly.
Love it bro - we call Aussie Rules the greatest game youve never heard of.
Welcome, and hope you enjoy/ed your first game.
New Sub from me for just a great reaction vid. You picked it up hella quick too.
Yeah I was hooked right away. I had some issues watching my first match last week. I fixed the problem and I'm ready this weekend let's goooo
@@CVTECK1 which game you got first? I'm an Adelaide crows man and we are a young team (hopefully on the rise) but we aren't very good at the moment.
@@davehocking4091 This week Western Bulldogs vs Geelong Cats 6th and 8th place and such a big big to see who stays top 8 Dave. Adelaide Crows 15th place but Dave i like the undergogs team too...I have a fun Video for tomorrow Dave of me picking a team to cheer on.
@@CVTECK1 that cats v dogs game will be a good game. Should be clean too as it's played at marvel stadium under the roof. Plenty of exciting players on both teams
We have 3 different kinds of football, actually 4 if you count Soccer
Rugby League, Rugby Union, Australian Rules, and Soccer
It's funny I was thinking about that the other day. The names are so similar to someone new like me.
Pay attention.Its not rugby.It is Australian Rules Football.How old is it?This year (2022) the Essendon Football Club are celebrating their one hundred and fiftieth year.
Subbed for more AFL reactions
will do Willem!!!
Love your accidental introduction into AFL. Most people will say check out a grand final, but just watching an ordinary game will probably help u get up to speed on it quicker. Not sure what channel it’s on in the US. Best short description of the game is by Eric bana in the movie funny people :)
And Australian rules is more southern Australia states, rugby played more in NSW and Queensland
Nic I watched over 15 live games now and I'm hooked lol. I have channels like fox 500 501 502 all those. I'm all in.
Another good video to watch is "A Beginners Guide to Australian Rules Football", this will give more explanation of the game; also find out how the scoreboard works, plus there is also a fledgling women's competition.
The way to judge how far to run with the ball, before bouncing it, is fifteen steps on the run. If you wait for the sixteenth, you have gone too far; and the opposition then has a free kick from that spot.
I guess after playing the sport for so long that internal clock is always there when to bounce the ball.
The 1st game was in 1858 between 2 Melbourne colleges, and the league roots started 1896 VFL/AFL.
Most Americans new to the AFL think it's new and made up of other sports. 🤣🤣🤣
I thought for sure it was maybe 20 years old haaa. i'm all in
It was first played in 1858, and codified in 1859.
yeah Paul im here thinking the sport might be 20 years old or something.
Great reaction mate. You missed hearing them say Aussie rules has the fourth highest weekly attendances of any sport in the world.
Rugby is only played mainly in New South Wales and Queensland. The crowd for the NRL rugby match of the day is anything from about 12,000 to 20,000 people. Many AFL matches are double or even triple those amounts. Special weekly games can draw as many as 90,000 people.
Aussie rules is by far Australia’s number one sport. Many diehard rugby fans don’t like AFL, and believe their game is better. The crowd numbers tell the true story. Most AFL fans don’t like the stop-start nature of rugby because our game has less stoppages, is fast and furious, has high-scoring and is super exciting. (A grand final is usually around 100,000 people.)
AFL was first codified in 1854 and is older than soccer, American football, and basketball. Tom Wills created Aussie rules as a way of keeping cricketers fit during the off-season. Some people say he took some aspects of an English rugby game, but he had a close association with Australia’s aboriginal people, who for decades before that played a game called Marn Grook and it’s believed that he got many of the ideas for the game from them.
Some parts of the video are badly explained. You must bounce the ball “within” 15m, so many players bounce it before that so that they do not exceed the distance which would result in a free kick to the other team. Umpires are a pretty good judge of if you have run too far without bouncing it.
Codified 1859, it is the oldest codified Football game in the world.
*Some people say he took some aspects of an English rugby game, but he had a close association with Australia’s aboriginal people, who for decades before that played a game called Marn Grook and it’s believed that he got many of the ideas for the game from them*
Tom wills had wealthy parents and they sent him to England to attend Rugby School of Grammar in the town of Rugby in 1849 for higher education. He didn't just take "some" aspects of Rugby, then known as Football but he became their Captain of the Football (Rugby) and Cricket teams while he was there. Early Australian Football had many similarities to Pre-codified Rugby and Soccer games, this is all documented.
Although I do believe some (only small portion imo) aspects of Marn Grook are in Aussie Football, there is zero documented evidence suggesting he grabbed ideas from it. We only have verbal information handed down through the generations and we all know what happens to verbal info over time, it always becomes inaccurate.
Believe me Ricky D i heard " Aussie rules has the fourth highest weekly attendances of any sport in the world." I'm just at a ahhhhhhhhhh for the sport already. Let's go Lions this Friday 11PM my time .

It was in 1871 that the first codified set of rugby rules were set down by the game's very first governing body. That governing body was the Rugby Football Union (RFU), which formed in a London hostelry and began to organise and make official a sport which had up to that point grown entirely organically.31 Aug 2018

@@CVTECK1 No worries. The red-and-white player featured when they said, “These players are basketball sized,” is Lance (Buddy) Franklin. A 6 foot five monster of a man, with the speed, agility, and evasive skills of a rabbit. Search for, “Lance Franklin’s best 23 goals.” (23 is his playing number) you will be blown away by this guy. Just a few weeks ago he kicked his 1000th career goal, and was mobbed by 20,000 fans who invaded the SCG field. This Friday, 27th May, 7.50 pm Oz time, you can watch him in action against Richmond.
@@CVTECK1 just noticed you said you would watch the Lions at 11 pm your time. If that clashes you should watch the Swans/Richmond game instead. 🦢
Aussie Rules oldest football(codified 1859). Others may have been played earlier but not with codified rules.
Rugby is older but Australian football is still 150+ years old. There is definitely a rivalry between the two games . Rugby is huge in Two of the more populated states (N.S.W and Queensland) whereas AFL is bigger around the entire country.
wow 150 years is a long time...I honestly Just heard about AFL few days ago and i like a lot. I like both but the kick pass and the kicking for scores i love because of my futbol background.
Rugby (Union) is technically older but not as a codified sport with it's own rules. Australian Football is the oldest codified football game in the world.
Australian Football invented 1858 codified in 1859.
Rugby Union started in 1845, was called Football then and there were many different versions of Football (Rugby), Soccer was also called Football and there were many different versions of that too, in-fact Soccer and Rugby were just a mishmash of each other before they were codified.
Codified Football Games:
Australian Football, 1859. invented 1858, Mostly based on pre-codified Rugby and Soccer.
Soccer, 1863. Most rules adopted from Cambridge (1848) and Sheffield (1857) rules.
Rugby Union, 1871. Most of the rules were adopted from Rugby School of Grammar 1845.
Gaelic Football, 1887. Many rules adopted from Australian Rules of 1866.
Rugby League, 1895. Breakaway sport from Rugby.
Canadian Football, 1903. Mostly originally based on Rugby in 1862 but later adopted more American Style of Walter Camp 1880.
American Football, 1906, it finally got codified proper. Most rules from Walter Camp 1880. The many versions of American Football started in the 1860's
@@off1k Bang on mate, you see a lot of misconceptions about this online.
@@matthewedgeworth4509
Your videos are pretty lit mate, nice camera angles selected with some great slomo footage. I see you've been picky with the footage and not just selected the generic footage you see everywhere on RUclips :))
@@off1k Cheers lad much appreciated
AFL is a Aussie invention, Rugby league is I believe English born, I don’t know about Rugby union, Aussies love most sports but the three I mentioned plus cricket wound be most popular, Rugby league is mostly Queensland and NSW although theirs is a lot of AFL followers in these states. VIC, South Aussie and W.A.
Nothing like Rugby whatsoever.....Lacrosse is closer to Aussie Rules Footy. 2Hrs on the field each week....full 360 degree motion, non-stop 30min quarters. With 200 to 250 pound guys running 10miles per games whilst getting bumped, tackled, scragged all game. They kick the ball like a QB throwing it...and they sometimes catch the ball by standing on the shoulders of others (teammates & opponents) jumping for the same catch. Teams score around 80-120pts per games..so lots of scoring (goals)...and it's been around for over 150 years (before NFL, NBA etc)...Best sport on the Planet
My son was watching some videos with me and i think he is hooked as well.
Was invented to keep cricketers fit during winter
Aussie rules is 10x better to watch than rugby because it’s non stop action, and the combination athleticism, skill, and toughness is unmatched.
I do love the action and not a lot of stoppage.
Everything has been covered in the comments. I loved this reaction. Enjoy the greatest sport
Holly i'm in the states watching these games on friday morning 2am and 5am but i LOVE IT. thanks for the kind word.
👍❤️🖤
I want to compare, Australian football is a vastly superior, more panoramic, more all-round athletic spectacle than both rugby codes.
Both sports are great but i finally watched my first AFL game and it was Awesome and i hope it will be the same for Rugby.
Im an afl and jugby fan, they are extremely different sports
Have a look at the difference between Rugby League and Rugby Union videos. They'll give you a good rules break down. Throw in AFL and there's your winter sports covered!
on the list thank you!!!
They different and yes they are both great sports. I prefer rugby but I appreciate AFL too.
This is the original football game.
I can see it.
Watch the 2012 Rugby League Grand Final 👌 😎
Great reaction 💥
Greatest sport ever played.
It's alright to like both codes
I 100% agree with you George. but George the word code keeps coming up i just want to know what code means for you?
@@CVTECK1 there are four codes of a Football game here
1 Football/Soccer
2 Australian rules football/ Footy
3 Rugby Union..
4 Rugby League
I like all but Soccer, boring as batshit..
Both Rugby codes have smaller teams versions of their sport.
Rugby Union has Rugby 7's which is insane have been to a day of the sevens tour.. everyone dresses up..
Rugby league has touch Rugby 6 players no tackling( much like your flag game)
And Rugby league 9's
Both smaller team games can run a full competition over a weekend if needed..
Smaller teams and quarters.
The world rugby sevens is a big deal you should look it up
@@CVTECK1 I'm a woman call me Lizzy.. Lizzy George
@@listayngeorge6929 yes ma'am. I made sure I said George because my name is Jorge pronounced George as well.

Very happy with this.
Welcome to the greatest sport you've never heard of lol.
Theres a British guy Nimh or something like that that does a more comprehensive version of this explaining rules in more detail.
I won't go over what like 100 people would have said by now with how old it is etc.

It's over 150yrs oldest footy game
AFL was created by cricket player Tom Wills and 6 other players in 1859 to keep cricket players fit in winter. Even though i'm a rugby league fan AFL is a great game. Go the Sydney Swans.
Sydney Swans in 7th not to bad and that was the game i missed. so this weekend will be my first afl game. I need a team to cheer for and be part of the community.
AFL was invented for cricket players to stay fit and to use cricket grounds in winter during the off season. Invented in Melbourne in the late 1850s and codified in 1859, Australian Rules is the oldest code of football in the world.
Just to confuse you even more there are 2 types of Rugby.
Rugby Union and Rugby League
That's what we do in Australia we play sport
Eddie wait wait and yes now I'm confused. omg Eddie lol now i need to look up both asap.
Not rugby.... THIS is AFL. THIS is so much better ❤
When you say It's a mixture of other sports, it's more likely the other way around. It was codified in 1858. It's the oldest major football code in the world. Nothing whatsoever to do with any other sport. It was originally designed to keep cricket players fit during the off season, hence the size and shape of the field - they were originally cricket grounds.
Bent sport, like the rackets. Have a look, difficult to review though, at Real Tennis. Duff Tv, have you tube of the 2019 worlds

No players to make a team, but at least we beat Collingwood, and that’s all that matters !!! 😊😊😊
I heard the eagles got hit hard with that stuff. But im going to finish out the year and see what's going to take place with all teams.
@@CVTECK1 yeh it really sucks to see your team as wooden spooners
@@aynyce411 when the team bounce back and start to win that is what it's all about. Not quitting.
AFL is the best mate. I don't think there is much cross over of fans. There would be some but I only watch AFL.
I'm all In Jo!!!
Aust Football (1858) predates American Football and Rugby, so it could be said they are the spin offs, but that would be unfair. All games have their own unique features.
AFL and rugby are two different codes
Two different sports
Completely different
I asked 3 people about codes? but i cant wait for my first match Friday night.
Great Reaction.
Thanks for the kind works Peter!!!
Take 2........Hit the wrong button as usual. Richmond Tigers. I didn't see it but heard it over the radio. Game went to the wire.
Once again a shatter saints supporter Geelong v Richmond great game
Keep the fate Neil and they will get there.❤️
Rugby is different there are two types one is rugby league the other is rugby union and have some different rules
Both are played internationally against a number of countries
Where commonly known as Aussie rules or as you just seen Australian football which is only played in Australia 🇦🇺
The game is over hundred years old started sometime in 1800s
Also even though the balls look the same they are different and to pass the shape of the ball makes a big difference I played both sports as a child it's was the main sports play at schools even during breaks between classes like lunchtime it's Almost a way of live for kids
Every Aussie home will have a football and used at picnic when at beach or park
When they show you the score 20 is goals worth 6 points and the 10 is points that when you add up gives total of 130 points which is the most Important score as who ever has highest point total at end of game wins
Hope it helps you cheers mate enjoy
Just to confuse you some more another popular game played on off season is cricket which is another international game we play against other countries
Also plat in schools as well it's a summer sport
Where football and rugby are winter sports
We play heaps of sport
Commonly played in schools and club levels starting as junior players
Aussie rules football both genders
Rugby both genders
Basket ball both genders
Net ball females
Tennis both genders
Soccer both genders
Baseball rarer both genders
I appreciate all the info David thank you. I was confused with the final score but i understand it now.
rugby is big in 2 states
AFL is a national competition
AFlL and rugby have about as much in common as do tennis and volleyball. AFL is the biggest game in Australia. The two codes of rugby are by far smaller, in both participation and fan following...
AFL IS OLDER BC NRL MADE IN 1997 BUT AFL WAS MADE IN 1897
Americans always say AFL looks like rugby meanwhile Aussies will always say that NFL looks like rugby
Soooooooooo true haaaaaaaa.
