Aussie Rules seems like a mix of sports, but was created in the 1850s and is technically the oldest codified football game in the world, so pre-dates most of the other sports. Welcome to the best game you've never heard of! :)
@@Michael-D.-Williams that’s when the first set of rules where codified but different regions played different rules, it wasn’t fully codified until the last 1860’s
@@macdac9861 Different rules are added by all sports all the time. Does that mean the original rules weren't written down? Or that they don't count? Of course not. To say that rugby wasn't 'fully codified' - what does that even mean? All the rules or all the game were written down in 1845. And what other 'regions' played rugby in 1845? Certainly none that didn't acknowledge Rugby School as the ones who determined the rules. Scottish football clubs played a mishmash of different rules adopted from all over until the 1860s, but that doesn't mean rugby or soccer weren't 'fully codified.' They were, its just that the Scots preferred their own mixture of rules. The claim was that Australian football is the oldest codified football game in the world, and it isn't. Its the second oldest - but only by a few years, and that's something to be proud of, I think.
I'm an American, but I got into AFL about five years ago and it's now my favorite sport (go Port Adelaide Power!). It's got the strategy of soccer, but the excitement of college basketball. One rule/penalty the video didn't mention is "holding the ball." You've got to try to get rid of it before someone tackles you. If you had opportunity to do so but someone tackles you and you don't get rid of it properly (kicking or punching it), then the other team gets a free kick with the ball at that spot. Just throwing the ball or dropping it to the ground (other than bouncing it back to yourself) is "incorrect disposal" with the same penalty result.
If you bounce it as you are tackled its holding the ball . But you are correct , its a very important rule because the tackle is one of the best ways to win the ball back . No matter how good a team is they can succumb to tackling pressure. The tackle should be rewarded more than it is .
Im a proud Aussie here and live in Melbourne and I love when other people learn about the oldest and first football league in the world. My hubby is off to a game today.
@carriebiz Yes very indeed so it's very good to see people who are from overseas getting to learn & understand about the Australian Rules Football Code BUT However on the other hand is that the real downside about it is that it's NOT Considered as an International World Cup Football &/or Sporting Code at International Level at all Very Unfortunately & Very Sadly just UNLIKE my other (3 Three) Football Codes all of Football (Soccer), Rugby Union Football & Rugby League Football which they do have their very own World Cup Tournaments individually every (4 Four) years of course.
America does have Australian Rules Football it’s called USAFL. The United States Australian Football League is the governing body for Australian rules football in the United States. It was conceived in 1996 and organized in 1997.
The greatest game in the world is played everywhere now , but in amature competitions. 150 teams in the US alone , teams all over Europe and even Japan . There is a big amature competition in Australia every couple of years where teams from all over the world gather to win it. . the woman's league is expanding to in Australia and OS . The Irish game of gaelic football is quite similar and many Irish players have made the transition to professional AFL . The game continues to grow and it certainly helps when people react to the videos. Check out the champions of the game like , Buddy franklin , Cyril Rioli , Garry Ablett Snr and Jnr .
Don't forget Nic Naitanui, the Rievoldt brothers, Adam Goodes, Michael Long, Teddy Hopkins. Stopping at 6, the list could go on and on... Just names off the top of my head and not listed in any order, subjective? Of course...
@@Alex.The.Lionnnnn But I am NOT sure about our Australian Rules Football being the best football &/or sporting code on earth but even I do love Australian Rules just as much exactly same as all of my Rugby Union Football, Rugby League Football & Football (Soccer) simply because about our Australian Rules Football Code as the real downside of the football code itself is this &/or that it's NOT Considered as a n International World Cup Football &/or Sporting Code on International Level at all & Never Ever have been the Past & Very Most UNLIKELY and Never Ever will be in the Future either just UNLIKE comparing to Football (Soccer), Rugby Union Football & Rugby League Football in which these (3 Three) other Football Codes actually do have their very own World Cup Tournaments individually every (4 Four) years & that's why they are better than our Australian Rules Football Code just by a very long shot & if only our Australian Rules Football Code becomes a World Cup Football &/or Sporting Code THEN that would be very excellent for that football code and being along with Football (Soccer), Rugby Union Football & Rugby League Football as a new World Cup Sport & the ONLY THING about our Australian Rules being International right now is the International Rules Test Matches between Australia & Ireland either being played in both Australia & Ireland and that's it as far as our Australian Rules Football Code is concerned of course.
This Aussie game is older than the others that you mentioned. It is based on a game called 'marn grook' which was played by the aboriginal people of western Victoria, Australia, maybe for thousands of years. They used a stuffed animal skin for the ball. What makes the game interesting is the oval ball, which bounces randomly, so players have to be super alert regarding the direction the ball goes. The players are extreme athletes who can run over 10 kilometres plus in each game. Some AFL players have gone to American football as punters because they are so good at kicking goals (and they can do it on the run, too). In Victoria, the origin state of Aussie Rules, 'footy' is the 'religion'. It is played in all states and territories.
There’s no evidence to say that it definitely originated from Marngrook, but it’s possible that there was some influence. More than anything, Tom Wills was a product of the Rugby School in the UK, and many of the early rules were thought to have been influenced by early versions of rugby and soccer.
@@shmick6079 I have discussed this with a relation of Tom Wills. TW's father owned a station near Ararat and Tom grew up there. The aboriginals of that area used to play marn grook. That's where Tom Wills got the idea from. There is a monument to it at Ararat. I told the guy he should write a book about that history.
@@barnowl. that’s interesting to know. Someone definitely should write about it. I’ve read a few accounts that basically conclude what I previously wrote.
G'day folks.. Just another Aussie here. Nice reaction! The ball is simiilar to Americain football, but you do have to bounce it like anything else. The big jumps on the opponents''s back is spectular. Yes, you ride him.
Kicking your opponent - kicking at a ball in a way likely to cause injury to your opponent is specifically banned, as is attacking them. Basically, at a minimum you're going to at least get your opponent awarded a free kick, at worse your conduct will be referred to the AFL Tribunal. There you could be fined, suspended and/or banned - depending on the severity of what you did. Players can wear a groin guard, but as the shorts are tight and small, it would be very obvious.
Aussie Rules teams are being established in the US, currently there are 48 male teams and 25 female teams; these are played within Divisions across the States, including one in Hawaii.
Great reaction, it's a pretty wild sport! You should definitely do more reactions to AFL, there's a lot of skill in the game (kicking), athleticism ("marks", a mark is a catch) and brutality (tackles and hits). You should reacto to "AFL BIggest Hits Part 1", brutal stuff! - They boots they were are closing to soccer boots than NFL which are more pointed. On rainy days some players will wear the screw in cleats like NFL ones. - Depending on positions players will run 8-12 miles a game. - There's an amateur US league called "USAFL". Only played professionally in Australia.
The Grand Final is today, Sat 30 Sep. There are plenty of rules, most of them intended to keep the play running. It's intended to _NOT_ be stop/start the way American football is.
Getting to kick the private areas doesn't help much unless you get both balls between the 2 centre posts for 2 goals. Otherwise they're just behinds for 2 points.
Because of a certain virus the Grand Final was held for the very first time in Perth Western Australia in 2021 because there was a mass outbreak in Melbourne putting the grand final in a crisis situation where they either cancelled it or moved it to Perth
I grew up with Aussie Rules Football. My Dad’s family were into it. Watching you both respond to the game kind of made me a little nostalgic so thanks for that. People who play AFL do succumb to some pretty serious injuries and there’s been a lot of discussion about protective head gear lately because of concussive injuries. We’ve had, probably, too cavalier an attitude towards Aussie Ruiles and a lot of ‘tough’ talk around physical injuries. However, now that there’s a women’s league so now women are getting concussions and injuries, the conversation as amped up a bit. There’s a big legal case mounting against the corporate arm of the AFL regarding ex-players who now have brain injuries that has affected their lives. So it’s a tough game but it also has some pretty tough consequences.
In Australia it's NOT ONLY (AFL Australian Football League) as our winter game but also there is our (NRL National Rugby League) as our other winter sport as well too of course. For starters is that Rugby League Football has (13 Thirteen) players per team & their, NUMBERING POSITIONS are, (1) Fullback, (2 & 5) Wings, (3 & 4) Centres, (6) 5/8th, (7) Halfback, (9) Hooker, (8 & 10) Front Row Forwards, (11 & 12) 2nd Row Forwards, (13) Lock, of course. SCORING POINTS, which are a Try, is worth (4 Four) Points & a Conversion after a try is scored is worth (2 Two) Points, A Penalty Goal is worth (2 Two) Points & a Drop Goal (aka) a Field Goal is worth (1 One) Point of course. There are (NO) Line Outs, Rucks & Mauls, in Rugby League Football at all, & in Rugby League Football players can use a Punt Kick (aka) a Torpedo Kick during play but (NOT) to be used for a Field &/or Drop Goal situation at all but a Drop Kick is only permitted for this situation of course. Exactly very same as Rugby Union Football is that in Rugby League Football also there are (NO) Forward Passes of the ball to be allowed at all & also that Offsides are (NOT) allowed at all either of course. There are only (6 Six) Tackles in which a tackled player is after being tackled by the opposing team must play the ball by using his feet to rake the ball to his teammate who behind him waiting for the ball to either to be next ball carrier to run towards the defending team &/or pass the ball backwards to his other team mates and once they either reach the (4th &/or 5th) tackle then the players can kick the ball very deep into the defending team's territory regardless using a Torpedo Kick, Drop Kick &/or a Bomb Kick especially towards the defending team's goal area & besides that Rugby League Football is a more of a slower pace of game which less free flowing of a game of course. Besides that, Rugby League Football Code started in (1895) in Huddersfield in the North of England that was called Northern Union because it came off from Rugby Union Football Code then later on it changed its name from Northern Union Football to Rugby League Football being from (15) players down to (13) players per team of course. But however that Rugby Union Football Code who did not like any their players to become professional players by transitioning from Union to League for payments by playing the Rugby League Football Code but although that Rugby Union Football Code would rather keep their Football Code as amateur as possible by (NOT) paying their very own players of money as compensation while they been away from their very own jobs &/or work because of their football injuries that had suffered while playing of course. But the Rugby League Football Code is manly being played in Great Britain in England & Wales, France, Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea then so many years later on it has been spreading into South Africa, Scotland, Ireland, United States America, Canada, & also in a Number of other European Countries of Europe then it is developing into a Number of other new Countries from Asia, Africa, South America, The Pacific Islands, Middle East like Lebanon, for both Men & Women & Boys & Girls of course.
I just can’t resist pointing out that of ALL the games called FOOTBALL, the ball is kicked hardly EVER in American Football. It seems like an afterthought when the ball is kicked in an NFL game. Then everything stops so the kicker can get off the field? What in the world?
New comers to this video goes "What?" when the Scoreline comes up. Collingwood kicked 20 goals worth 6 points each, totalling 120, and 10 behinds worth 1 point each. Final Score...130.
High marks were not a feature of the game in the first decades. If marngrook was an influence then jumping high to catch the ball would have been there from day one, you would think.
The explanation of the score is like this: if a score says 20 10 130, it means there were 20 goals [worth 6 points each, or 120 points total], 10 behinds [worth 1 point each, or 10 points total], add them all together and you get a grand total of 130 points.
U should check out the only American playing AFL, Mason Cox. He has a video called (Mason Cox Don't Believe in Never) shows his journey from Texas to Australia and The first half of his AFL career.
There are currently 50 men's teams playing in the USAFL, across different regions of the United States; nearly half the club's have women's teams, check your area/state for a local team. USAFL have a national men's teams, that competes against other nations that there own AFL competitions.
There is a companion video from the AFL Channel, "A Beginners Guide to Australian Rules Football"; this may help with some questions you have, maybe even raise a few more. Check out your local streaming services if they show AFL games on their channel; that is the best way to really understand the game, watching a full game. Enjoy.
To a newcomer, the scoreboard can be confusing; the number represent the Goals(20) then the Behinds(10) and lastly the Points(130). Remember, a Goal is worth 6 points(20×6=120) and the Behinds are worth 1 point(10×1=10); the Points are the value of the Goals and Behinds(120+10=130).
AFL is a completely home grown sport but the USA has a domestic league and has had it for 25 years but AFL was a coded (has rules) before your football or soccer before rugby and the sports you say it's kind of like us wrong they are like our game. In Ireland they play a game almost like AFL but with a round ball and the goals have a crossbar Australia play a modified game against Ireland that's a mixture of both games once a year it's called international rules. Some of AFL players after their AFL careers are over go across to the USA and play in the NFL as kickers well into their 40s. Some AFL players run almost a marathon every game women and children from the age of 7 play the game. My advice watch AFL on tv or better yet find a game in the US close to you and go watch it the game is perfect for tv viewing it has speed high scoring and hard hits also doesn't stop and start like the NFL does but watch the game and enjoy.
America has an amateurs league but the sport was born in oz and its played everywhere in oz. It does have a few sports mixed together to make it unique. The sport is starting to make its way out of oz and players are now being recruited from outside oz.
The 'sprigs' are plastic and not sharp like running cleats. "Kicking in danger" is a penalty - sometimes happens when a player tries to smother a kick. The players aren't out to assault each other, but a good hip and shoulder bump is considered fair game.
Just one point. You don't have to bounce the ball. You have to dispose of it. You can't run more than 15 metres with the ball. Bouncing it is just the easiest way to maintain possession of the ball while running flat out.
Take most of your NFL positions, and then that’s what each AFL player has to do at their own respective positions as well They’re wide receivers ‘Quarterbacks’ Running backs All of it And then you have specialists within these, Defenders Midfielders Attackers All still have to be able to Kick, Catch, defend and attack D
Nice reaction. Although it looks like it was made up of lots of other sports, it is older than most of those. The first game was in 1858. It is very popular in Australia but is only played in small competitions outside Australia. There are amateur leagues in the US and other countries. These teams are often composed of a mixture of expatriate Australians and locals. Every two years the AFL brings teams from several countries to play off for the International Cup. There are several teams for Oceania, Asia, North America, Africa and Europe. There is even a team composed of a mixture of Israelis and Palestinians. There is no Australian team, because it is a professional sport here and it would not be fair (or interesting). The idea is to foster the game in other countries. There are no professional leagues outside of Australia. It is definitely not an Olympic sport but it was a demonstration sport in the Melbourne Olympics in 1956, to show it off to the world. The AFL has played games for points in New Zealand and China and demonstration games in the US, Canada, Japan and the UK, but these have not been especially successful. Sometimes Australia and Ireland play a series of games of a hybrid code that mixes the rules of Gaelic football and Australian football, called International rules. It is played on a rectangular pitch with a round ball (like Gaelic football), tackling is allowed (like Australian football) and the goals are a bit of a mixture of the two games. It is pretty entertaining but not really taken seriously.
Aussie rules as we know it now came about in the 1850's after some sports masters at a college watched some first nations youth playing a traditional aboriginal game called "marngrook" . The atletiscism of the game which required running, jumping, kicking and hand ball skills impressed them so much that they added a few structural rules and regulations and aussie rules was born . So technically, it is thousands of years old.
People who already have a familiarity with volleyball, basketball, and other games tend to see those elements in this game, so that is only natural that they see the game this way. However, Aus Rules predates most of these games so it's incorrect to think that Aus Rules took those features from those other games.
We don't wear padding in Aussie Rules (Footy, Aerial Ping Pong) it was derived from Irish Football yet we put our own spin to it 😊! And why not watch a game of Rugby then you'll see how tough the players are! And Aussie Rules is only played here in OZ (maybe in New Zealand they have a league) but don't think so but like your American Football (Gridiron) we don't really have a league out here for that sport...sorry!
They do have a kicking in danger rule, and leading with your stops out rule (whatever that's called, newish rule), but if you otherwise happen to get kicked in the private area, you've just got to take it. I do recall someone getting reported for kneeing a player in the balls. And there were players with a reputation for giving parts a little tweak in the pack when tackling.
@@kazdean yes, yes, some would honour that. I can see it now, the training involved to master the art. I'm think martial arts/Kung Fu movie scene, Master enters: 'I have taught you all I can, you are ready to leave the temple now'. Student: 'But Master, I don't want to go east'. Master: 'You must, it is your destiny. You will join the AFL in search of the Holy Grail. Go my son'.
I have coaching accreditation level three in actual fact it is the more rules than any other form of football and in actual fact it doesn't have just a rule book if you are are coaching or becoming an umpire you also get a book on how to interpretate the rules called spirit of the law, because there is a fine line on judgment. generally it goes the way of the player making the ball the object and not the player and always first infringement has the higher weight.
to let you both know that (AFL Australian Football League) Aussie Rules Football is (NOT) Only the main winter football code but also their other main rival winter football code is the (NRL National Rugby League) as in the Rugby League Football Code that also being played in winter both here in Australia & New Zealand of course. Rugby League Football Code is mainly being played in Queensland, New South Wales & (ACT Australian Capital Territory) while the Australian Rules Football Code is mainly being played in Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia, Northern Territory & Tasmania & that's real difference between both Rugby League & Australian Rules Football Codes of course. In both of our (NRL National Rugby League Men's) & also in our (NRLW National Rugby League Women's) Competitions there are Rugby League Teams are the, (1 One) New South Wales based teams that are, Parramatta Eels, South Sydney Rabbitohs, Penrith Panthers, St-George Illawarra Dragons, Newcastle Knights, Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs, Cronulla Sutherland Sharks, West Tigers & finally Manly Warringah Sea Eagles. (2 Two) Queensland based teams that are, Brisbane Broncos, North Queensland Cowboys, Gold Coast Titans & finally Redcliffe Dolphins.
(3 Three) (ACT Australian Capital Territory) based team which is Canberra Raiders. (4 Four) Victorian based team which is Melbourne Storm. (5 Five) New Zealand Warriors was previously called as their original very old name was called the Auckland Warriors from Auckland, New Zealand. The Rugby League Football Code who got the idea of (SOO State of Origin) from their Australian Rules Football Code counterparts in which that Australian Rules Football who actually did & originally did had that concept of (SOO State of Origin) Australian Rules for example, Victoria plays any of Queensland, New South Wales, Tasmania, South Australia, Western Australia all in Melbourne, New South Wales plays any of Queensland, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia, Western Australia in Sydney, Queensland plays any of New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia, Western Australia all in Brisbane, Tasmania plays any of Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia all in Hobart, South Australia plays any of Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, Western Australia all in Adelaide, Western Australia plays any of Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia all in Perth, But the Rugby League (SOO State of Origin) was originally started &/or established in the Year of (1980) between Queensland & New South Wales in which that Queensland had won & they won most of the State of Origin Rugby League Series more than New South Wales on Record & the General idea of the Rugby League State of Origin Football is that both teams of Queensland & New South Wales must play each other only (3 Three) times & for any of them they must either win (2 Two) OUT of (3 Three) Games &/or (3 Three) OUT of (Three) Games for the whole series regardless Queensland vs New South Wales in Brisbane or in some other place/s & New South Wales vs Queensland in Sydney or in some other place/s once more again as well too & Yes I am a Queenslander (Banana Bender) coming from Mount Isa originally myself & of course I do support Queensland when it comes to any (SOO State of Origin) in Rugby League Football & also in (SOO State of Origin) in Australian (Aussie) Rules Football as well too of course. (NOTE) That both Rugby League Football State of Origins do both have of (NRL in Men's Games) & the NRLW in Women's Games). Both of our Australian National Rugby League Football Teams which for Men's Team are actually called the Australian Kangaroos & for the Women's Team are actually called the Australian Jillaroos who played against Great Britian, France, New Zealand & Papua New Guinea & also in the Rugby League Football World Cup Tournaments as well too of course. (NOTE) The New Zealand Men's National Rugby League Team are actually called the Kiwis & while the New Zealand Women's National Rugby League Team are actually called the Kiwi Ferns, of course. But however, is that I DON'T Understand the mentality of why at all & for what reason/s that people actually do refer our Australian (Aussie) Rules Football Code as (Aerial Ping Pong) at all & people who told me many times verbally before i& also heard that from people before is that our Australian (Aussie) Rules Football is Aerial Ping Pong Football of course.
@LilJitBigDreamz about the Football (Footy) Codes all of Australian Rules Football, Rugby League Football, Rugby Union Football & finally Soccer (Football), which are, For those who DISLIKE &/or HATE any Football (Footy) Code/s with a real passion would &/or will say these, (1 One) Australian Rules Football, is referred as Aerial Ping Pong Football, (2 Two) Rugby League Football, is referred as Thugby League Football, (3 Three) Rugby Union Football, is referred as Thugby Union, &/or Rugby Yawnnion, (4 Four) Football (Soccer), is referred as Wog Ball and also both Fairies &/or Queenies Game. (NOTE) Aerial Ping-Pong A jocular (and frequently derisive) name for Australian Rules Football (or Aussie Rules as it is popularly called). The term derives from the fact that the play in this game is characterised by frequent exchanges of long and high kicks. The term is used largely by people from States both of Queensland & New South Wales in which Rugby League Football and NOT Aussie Rules (Footy) Football as &/or is the major football code. This interstate and code rivalry is often found in evidence for the term, including the early evidence from the 1940s. 1947 West Australian (Perth) 22 April: In 1941 he enlisted in the A.I.F. and joined a unit which fostered rugby football. Renfrey did not join in the &oq;mud bath&cq; and did not play 'aerial ping-pong', as the rugby exponents in the army termed the Australian game, until 1946. 1973 J. Dunn, How to Play Football: Sydneysiders like to call Australian Rules 'Aerial Ping-Pong'. But on the other hand, for those and including myself who actually do LIKE &/or LOVE any Football (Footy) Code/s with a real passion would &/or will say these, which are, (1 One) Australian Rules Football, is referred as the real Australian Football (Footy) Code of Australia, (2 Two) Rugby League Football, is referred as the Greatest Game of All, (3 Three) Rugby Union Football, is referred the Game that they do Play in Heaven, (4 Four) Football (Soccer), is referred as the Beautiful Game & the World Game & also the Real Football Code of course.
What is AFL has been done to death there is a better story if you have of done your research. The team with the blue & white hoops on their guernsey ( Geelong Cats) has an unbroken sponsorship with Ford (the American Automaker) for nearly a century. They are at either 97 or 98 years continuous.
That's why Aussies call American Football "Brawny ballet." I'd never call a professional American player a wuss to their face, but compared to the Aussie ones...
Players do wear a Box to protect their privates. Also you're not allowed to kick other players, there is even a Kicking in Danger rule for trying to kick a ball players are trying to grab with their hands. But that's boots, not knees. But even with safety rules, accidents and intentional strikes can happen, and even a legal Hip and Shoulder can hit like a truck when it comes in full force. Some of the attacks on the Greatest Hits compilation are truly brutal.
I can tell you why you have very few followers etc. But I will get into youtube trouble like usual.. I got banned and have just changed my name where I come from in NZ... I no longer care as I have a terminal disease. YES. AFL is enormous here in Australia. I'm a kiwi and follow the All Blacks only because I come from the King Country... All Black Territory eh.
You could keep the words under two syllables and speak slooowwwlly so wally wombat can follow it. Or you can ignore arrogant fools who try to tell you how to talk.
Aussie Rules is played in many countries as an amateur sport. America has the USAFL comprising 40 different leagues around the country, including a women's league. Because it's amateur, it is nowhere near as brutal as our game and is more a social game with beers and barbecues afterwards. The USAFL have just celebrated 25 years since beginning. 20-10-130 score means, 20 goals X 6 points each = 120 pts + 10 behinds (pts) = total 130 pts. Most points (not goals) wins. Have to bounce the ball BEFORE running 15 meters, (otherwise free kick paid against you) most players bounce after a few steps to avoid running too far. Cheers. 🇦🇺🦘🐨
GDAY ..HERES ONE FOR YOU BOTH( its afl )…LANCE FRANKLINS 1000th GOAL- TOP STAND VIEW…….Once you get hooked on AFL.. YOU BOTH MAY APPRECIATE HOW DIFFICULT HIS FEAT WAS ….GOOD LUCK AFL NEWBIES..
is that only (2 Two) Downside things about the Australian (Aussie) Rules Football Code itself for starters which are (1 One) Australian Rules Football Code itself is (NOT) a World Cup Football Code at all just UNLIKE the other (3 Three) World Cup Football Codes which are (1 One) Football (Soccer) Code, Rugby League Football Code & Rugby Union Football Code of course. (2 Two) Australian (Aussie) Rules Football Code is also (NOT) even an Olympic Games Sport at all just UNLIKE the (2 Two) other Olympic Football Codes which are both of (1One) Football (Soccer) Code, (2 Two) Rugby Union Football Code of course. But however, that Rugby Union Football is being played in the Olympic (7 Sevens) Competitions at the Olympic Games. & I do believe that sometime in future of years to come is that the Rugby League Football Code itself away over the Australian (Aussie) Rules Football Code itself just by a country mile would have a better chance become an Olympic Sport because of the Rugby League Olympic (9 Nines) Competitions of course.
Mamm these boys are the fittest toughest football players in the world .the game is continuous only about 20 or 30 seconds stopage for a free kick ..getting kicked in the private area would only hert for a minute or 3 then they are up back running and tackleing . very fast runners they can run up to 11 miles a game half of that at full speed. They will run straight trew most people on the street leaving them hurt badly .. these AFL players they be hit and flattened by another player from any direction .you can run in any direction.. everyone can kick ..they been kicking since they were 2 years old so by the time your 18 you had 16 years experience kicking the ball...years ago before you had to be seated they had 130, 000 at a game ..now the MCG has 100,000 seats ..just a regular game this week had 80,000... THE GRAND FINAL gets 100,000 people maximum capacity..white man ( the players)can jump but not so good at dancing muscles probably to tence not loose enough... 🇦🇺🦘❤🇺🇸🦅
Aussie Rules seems like a mix of sports, but was created in the 1850s and is technically the oldest codified football game in the world, so pre-dates most of the other sports. Welcome to the best game you've never heard of! :)
Second oldest

@@macdac9861 Rugby was codified in 1845.
@@Michael-D.-Williams that’s when the first set of rules where codified but different regions played different rules, it wasn’t fully codified until the last 1860’s
@@macdac9861 Different rules are added by all sports all the time. Does that mean the original rules weren't written down? Or that they don't count? Of course not.
To say that rugby wasn't 'fully codified' - what does that even mean? All the rules or all the game were written down in 1845. And what other 'regions' played rugby in 1845? Certainly none that didn't acknowledge Rugby School as the ones who determined the rules. Scottish football clubs played a mishmash of different rules adopted from all over until the 1860s, but that doesn't mean rugby or soccer weren't 'fully codified.' They were, its just that the Scots preferred their own mixture of rules.
The claim was that Australian football is the oldest codified football game in the world, and it isn't. Its the second oldest - but only by a few years, and that's something to be proud of, I think.
I'm an American, but I got into AFL about five years ago and it's now my favorite sport (go Port Adelaide Power!). It's got the strategy of soccer, but the excitement of college basketball. One rule/penalty the video didn't mention is "holding the ball." You've got to try to get rid of it before someone tackles you. If you had opportunity to do so but someone tackles you and you don't get rid of it properly (kicking or punching it), then the other team gets a free kick with the ball at that spot. Just throwing the ball or dropping it to the ground (other than bouncing it back to yourself) is "incorrect disposal" with the same penalty result.
go the power!
Lesgoo! Carn the Power!
That's awesome, love hearing stories like that given half the world have never even heard of AFL
If you bounce it as you are tackled its holding the ball . But you are correct , its a very important rule because the tackle is one of the best ways to win the ball back . No matter how good a team is they can succumb to tackling pressure. The tackle should be rewarded more than it is .

Aussie Rules - the GREATEST GAME OF ALL .
Im a proud Aussie here and live in Melbourne and I love when other people learn about the oldest and first football league in the world. My hubby is off to a game today.
@carriebiz Yes very indeed so it's very good to see people who are from overseas getting to learn & understand about the Australian Rules Football Code BUT However on the other hand is that the real downside about it is that it's NOT Considered as an International World Cup Football &/or Sporting Code at International Level at all Very Unfortunately & Very Sadly just UNLIKE my other (3 Three) Football Codes all of Football (Soccer), Rugby Union Football & Rugby League Football which they do have their very own World Cup Tournaments individually every (4 Four) years of course.
These are elite athletes the Best in the World, & the most Awesome sport on the planet!!!
America does have Australian Rules Football it’s called USAFL.
The United States Australian Football League is the governing body for Australian rules football in the United States. It was conceived in 1996 and organized in 1997.
Originally invented to keep cricketers fit in the off season. Watch afl biggest hits, you'll love it
The greatest game in the world is played everywhere now , but in amature competitions. 150 teams in the US alone , teams all over Europe and even Japan . There is a big amature competition in Australia every couple of years where teams from all over the world gather to win it. . the woman's league is expanding to in Australia and OS . The Irish game of gaelic football is quite similar and many Irish players have made the transition to professional AFL . The game continues to grow and it certainly helps when people react to the videos. Check out the champions of the game like , Buddy franklin , Cyril Rioli , Garry Ablett Snr and Jnr .
Don't forget Nic Naitanui, the Rievoldt brothers, Adam Goodes, Michael Long, Teddy Hopkins. Stopping at 6, the list could go on and on... Just names off the top of my head and not listed in any order, subjective? Of course...
Don't get into AFL if you're a big NFL fan. You'll never want to watch NFL again. 😂
I still watch American football--but only because the seasons don't conflict!
@Alex.The.Lionnnnnn AFL isn't the only real main football code but also there's our NRL National Rugby League in Australia as well too of course.
@user-we8ue9qy9l I know, I'm Australian. AFL is still by far the best game on earth.
@@Alex.The.Lionnnnn But I am NOT sure about our Australian Rules Football being the best football &/or sporting code on earth but even I do love Australian Rules just as much exactly same as all of my Rugby Union Football, Rugby League Football & Football (Soccer) simply because about our Australian Rules Football Code as the real downside of the football code itself is this &/or that it's NOT Considered as a n International World Cup Football &/or Sporting Code on International Level at all & Never Ever have been the Past & Very Most UNLIKELY and Never Ever will be in the Future either just UNLIKE comparing to Football (Soccer), Rugby Union Football & Rugby League Football in which these (3 Three) other Football Codes actually do have their very own World Cup Tournaments individually every (4 Four) years & that's why they are better than our Australian Rules Football Code just by a very long shot & if only our Australian Rules Football Code becomes a World Cup Football &/or Sporting Code THEN that would be very excellent for that football code and being along with Football (Soccer), Rugby Union Football & Rugby League Football as a new World Cup Sport & the ONLY THING about our Australian Rules being International right now is the International Rules Test Matches between Australia & Ireland either being played in both Australia & Ireland and that's it as far as our Australian Rules Football Code is concerned of course.
@user-we8ue9qy9l rugby is dead, mate. I used to watch but even the a league is bigger now.
This Aussie game is older than the others that you mentioned. It is based on a game called 'marn grook' which was played by the aboriginal people of western Victoria, Australia, maybe for thousands of years. They used a stuffed animal skin for the ball. What makes the game interesting is the oval ball, which bounces randomly, so players have to be super alert regarding the direction the ball goes. The players are extreme athletes who can run over 10 kilometres plus in each game. Some AFL players have gone to American football as punters because they are so good at kicking goals (and they can do it on the run, too). In Victoria, the origin state of Aussie Rules, 'footy' is the 'religion'. It is played in all states and territories.
Not to sure about that one
Not sure about what one?
There’s no evidence to say that it definitely originated from Marngrook, but it’s possible that there was some influence.
More than anything, Tom Wills was a product of the Rugby School in the UK, and many of the early rules were thought to have been influenced by early versions of rugby and soccer.
@@shmick6079 I have discussed this with a relation of Tom Wills. TW's father owned a station near Ararat and Tom grew up there. The aboriginals of that area used to play marn grook. That's where Tom Wills got the idea from. There is a monument to it at Ararat. I told the guy he should write a book about that history.
@@barnowl. that’s interesting to know. Someone definitely should write about it.
I’ve read a few accounts that basically conclude what I previously wrote.
G'day folks.. Just another Aussie here. Nice reaction! The ball is simiilar to Americain football, but you do have to bounce it like anything else.
The big jumps on the opponents''s back is spectular. Yes, you ride him.
Kicking your opponent - kicking at a ball in a way likely to cause injury to your opponent is specifically banned, as is attacking them. Basically, at a minimum you're going to at least get your opponent awarded a free kick, at worse your conduct will be referred to the AFL Tribunal. There you could be fined, suspended and/or banned - depending on the severity of what you did.
Players can wear a groin guard, but as the shorts are tight and small, it would be very obvious.
Aussie Rules teams are being established in the US, currently there are 48 male teams and 25 female teams; these are played within Divisions across the States, including one in Hawaii.
The USAFL has just celebrated 25 years in America.
Great reaction, it's a pretty wild sport!
You should definitely do more reactions to AFL, there's a lot of skill in the game (kicking), athleticism ("marks", a mark is a catch) and brutality (tackles and hits).
You should reacto to "AFL BIggest Hits Part 1", brutal stuff!
- They boots they were are closing to soccer boots than NFL which are more pointed. On rainy days some players will wear the screw in cleats like NFL ones.
- Depending on positions players will run 8-12 miles a game.
- There's an amateur US league called "USAFL". Only played professionally in Australia.
before the MCG was redeveloped....there were "standing room" tickets & the capacity was 110K
120,696 record crowd 1970
The Grand Final is today, Sat 30 Sep.
There are plenty of rules, most of them intended to keep the play running. It's intended to _NOT_ be stop/start the way American football is.
Getting to kick the private areas doesn't help much unless you get both balls between the 2 centre posts for 2 goals.
Otherwise they're just behinds for 2 points.
Good one
Also check out the biggest hits
Almost every state capital in the US will have a small Australian football comp, your children will love it
It looks crazy, but there are quite a few rules and a decent amount of strategy, not to mention athleticism and skill.
Because of a certain virus the Grand Final was held for the very first time in Perth Western Australia in 2021 because there was a mass outbreak in Melbourne putting the grand final in a crisis situation where they either cancelled it or moved it to Perth
Also held in Brisbane in 2020 at a ground called the Gabba otherwise always played at MCG (Melbourne Cricket Ground)
Its a sport that requires straight up athleticism in every position
I grew up with Aussie Rules Football. My Dad’s family were into it. Watching you both respond to the game kind of made me a little nostalgic so thanks for that. People who play AFL do succumb to some pretty serious injuries and there’s been a lot of discussion about protective head gear lately because of concussive injuries. We’ve had, probably, too cavalier an attitude towards Aussie Ruiles and a lot of ‘tough’ talk around physical injuries. However, now that there’s a women’s league so now women are getting concussions and injuries, the conversation as amped up a bit. There’s a big legal case mounting against the corporate arm of the AFL regarding ex-players who now have brain injuries that has affected their lives. So it’s a tough game but it also has some pretty tough consequences.
In Australia it's NOT ONLY (AFL Australian Football League) as our winter game but also there is our (NRL National Rugby League) as our other winter sport as well too of course.
For starters is that Rugby League Football has (13 Thirteen) players per team & their,
NUMBERING POSITIONS are, (1) Fullback, (2 & 5) Wings, (3 & 4) Centres, (6) 5/8th, (7) Halfback, (9) Hooker, (8 & 10) Front Row Forwards, (11 & 12) 2nd Row Forwards, (13) Lock, of course.
SCORING POINTS, which are a Try, is worth (4 Four) Points & a Conversion after a try is scored is worth (2 Two) Points, A Penalty Goal is worth (2 Two) Points & a Drop Goal (aka) a Field Goal is worth (1 One) Point of course.
There are (NO) Line Outs, Rucks & Mauls, in Rugby League Football at all, & in Rugby League Football players can use a Punt Kick (aka) a Torpedo Kick during play but (NOT) to be used for a Field &/or Drop Goal situation at all but a Drop Kick is only permitted for this situation of course.
Exactly very same as Rugby Union Football is that in Rugby League Football also there are (NO) Forward Passes of the ball to be allowed at all & also that Offsides are (NOT) allowed at all either of course.
There are only (6 Six) Tackles in which a tackled player is after being tackled by the opposing team must play the ball by using his feet to rake the ball to his teammate who behind him waiting for the ball to either to be next ball carrier to run towards the defending team &/or pass the ball backwards to his other team mates and once they either reach the (4th &/or 5th) tackle then the players can kick the ball very deep into the defending team's territory regardless using a Torpedo Kick, Drop Kick &/or a Bomb Kick especially towards the defending team's goal area & besides that Rugby League Football is a more of a slower pace of game which less free flowing of a game of course.
Besides that, Rugby League Football Code started in (1895) in Huddersfield in the North of England that was called Northern Union because it came off from Rugby Union Football Code then later on it changed its name from Northern Union Football to Rugby League Football being from (15) players down to (13) players per team of course.
But however that Rugby Union Football Code who did not like any their players to become professional players by transitioning from Union to League for payments by playing the Rugby League Football Code but although that Rugby Union Football Code would rather keep their Football Code as amateur as possible by (NOT) paying their very own players of money as compensation while they been away from their very own jobs &/or work because of their football injuries that had suffered while playing of course.
But the Rugby League Football Code is manly being played in Great Britain in England & Wales, France, Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea then so many years later on it has been spreading into South Africa, Scotland, Ireland, United States America, Canada, & also in a Number of other European Countries of Europe then it is developing into a Number of other new Countries from Asia, Africa, South America, The Pacific Islands, Middle East like Lebanon, for both Men & Women & Boys & Girls of course.
Best football code in the world.
I just can’t resist pointing out that of ALL the games called FOOTBALL, the ball is kicked hardly EVER in American Football. It seems like an afterthought when the ball is kicked in an NFL game. Then everything stops so the kicker can get off the field? What in the world?
New comers to this video goes "What?" when the Scoreline comes up. Collingwood kicked 20 goals worth 6 points each, totalling 120, and 10 behinds worth 1 point each. Final Score...130.
Jumping on opponents and catching the kicked ball is a technique adapted from a very old game played by the indigenous people called marn-grook.
Nope. It developed decades after Aussie Rules was created.
Haha
@@user-bf8ud9vt5b nope again. Marngrook was created in the 1840s, but first played in 1906.
High marks were not a feature of the game in the first decades. If marngrook was an influence then jumping high to catch the ball would have been there from day one, you would think.
The explanation of the score is like this: if a score says 20 10 130, it means there were 20 goals [worth 6 points each, or 120 points total], 10 behinds [worth 1 point each, or 10 points total], add them all together and you get a grand total of 130 points.
U should check out the only American playing AFL, Mason Cox. He has a video called (Mason Cox Don't Believe in Never) shows his journey from Texas to Australia and The first half of his AFL career.
I recommend you check out afl’s greatest hits.
Will do thanks you for watching appreciate the support ❤️
There are currently 50 men's teams playing in the USAFL, across different regions of the United States; nearly half the club's have women's teams, check your area/state for a local team. USAFL have a national men's teams, that competes against other nations that there own AFL competitions.
AFL have the best athletes in the world, fitness levels are on a different level
There is a companion video from the AFL Channel, "A Beginners Guide to Australian Rules Football"; this may help with some questions you have, maybe even raise a few more. Check out your local streaming services if they show AFL games on their channel; that is the best way to really understand the game, watching a full game. Enjoy.
How scoring works: 20 Goals, 10 Behinds = 130 Points.
Goals are worth 6 points, Behinds are worth 1 point.... 20 X 6 + 10 = 130
It is played in America also. There is a league USAFL
The best thing is that NFL has a quarterback but in AFL everyone is a quarterback
Great content team.
Good news. There's a club in most major Canada and US cities
The scores as shown: 20 Goals + 10 Behinds = 130 Points (where 1 goal = 6 points and 1 behind = 1 point.)
The best sport in the world
If you want to know what happens when a foul hit is made. Look up, AFL Fights.
To a newcomer, the scoreboard can be confusing; the number represent the Goals(20) then the Behinds(10) and lastly the Points(130). Remember, a Goal is worth 6 points(20×6=120) and the Behinds are worth 1 point(10×1=10); the Points are the value of the Goals and Behinds(120+10=130).
There is an American AFL of people who saw the game and decided they wanted to play too.
AFL is a completely home grown sport but the USA has a domestic league and has had it for 25 years but AFL was a coded (has rules) before your football or soccer before rugby and the sports you say it's kind of like us wrong they are like our game. In Ireland they play a game almost like AFL but with a round ball and the goals have a crossbar Australia play a modified game against Ireland that's a mixture of both games once a year it's called international rules. Some of AFL players after their AFL careers are over go across to the USA and play in the NFL as kickers well into their 40s. Some AFL players run almost a marathon every game women and children from the age of 7 play the game. My advice watch AFL on tv or better yet find a game in the US close to you and go watch it the game is perfect for tv viewing it has speed high scoring and hard hits also doesn't stop and start like the NFL does but watch the game and enjoy.
As an Aussie I have to agree hoo raaa
AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE 😂😂😂
America has an amateurs league but the sport was born in oz and its played everywhere in oz. It does have a few sports mixed together to make it unique. The sport is starting to make its way out of oz and players are now being recruited from outside oz.
The score 20 10 130 means 20 goals @ 6 points = 120. 10 behinds @ 1 point = 10 points. For a total of 130 points.
Final score 20 goals 10 points Total of 130
20x6=120
10x1=10
120+10=120
Remember goals are 6 points
The greatest game in the world, Go The Blues.
The 'sprigs' are plastic and not sharp like running cleats. "Kicking in danger" is a penalty - sometimes happens when a player tries to smother a kick. The players aren't out to assault each other, but a good hip and shoulder bump is considered fair game.
Just one point. You don't have to bounce the ball. You have to dispose of it. You can't run more than 15 metres with the ball. Bouncing it is just the easiest way to maintain possession of the ball while running flat out.
you are both so gorgeous! love the pink glasses!
There is an updated what is AFL, explains a lot better. We are coming up to the finals soon. So study up for next season
The updated ones are crap.
@@emgee65 na between this one and the new one you get a better idea of whats going on ie the new one explains the scores shows the womens game ect .
its unique to Australia...started in 1850s
Take most of your NFL positions, and then that’s what each AFL player has to do at their own respective positions as well
They’re wide receivers
‘Quarterbacks’
Running backs
All of it
And then you have specialists within these,
Defenders
Midfielders
Attackers
All still have to be able to Kick, Catch, defend and attack
D
We don’t have a certain pair of boots just ones with spikes on bottom
Nice reaction. Although it looks like it was made up of lots of other sports, it is older than most of those. The first game was in 1858. It is very popular in Australia but is only played in small competitions outside Australia. There are amateur leagues in the US and other countries. These teams are often composed of a mixture of expatriate Australians and locals. Every two years the AFL brings teams from several countries to play off for the International Cup. There are several teams for Oceania, Asia, North America, Africa and Europe. There is even a team composed of a mixture of Israelis and Palestinians. There is no Australian team, because it is a professional sport here and it would not be fair (or interesting). The idea is to foster the game in other countries. There are no professional leagues outside of Australia. It is definitely not an Olympic sport but it was a demonstration sport in the Melbourne Olympics in 1956, to show it off to the world. The AFL has played games for points in New Zealand and China and demonstration games in the US, Canada, Japan and the UK, but these have not been especially successful. Sometimes Australia and Ireland play a series of games of a hybrid code that mixes the rules of Gaelic football and Australian football, called International rules. It is played on a rectangular pitch with a round ball (like Gaelic football), tackling is allowed (like Australian football) and the goals are a bit of a mixture of the two games. It is pretty entertaining but not really taken seriously.
Theirs a record of it been played in Ballarat in 1837.
Lol, it's shaped like a football, well dude it is a football 😂 just not the football you know😂😂
Aussie rules as we know it now came about in the 1850's after some sports masters at a college watched some first nations youth playing a traditional aboriginal game called "marngrook" . The atletiscism of the game which required running, jumping, kicking and hand ball skills impressed them so much that they added a few structural rules and regulations and aussie rules was born . So technically, it is thousands of years old.
20x6 =120 + 10 single points total = 130
✌️☮️❤️🇦🇺🥂
Up there gazaly
The AFL national anthem,
Yeh I know the friggen thing is yonks old,
Dude.... Up there Cazaly.
People who already have a familiarity with volleyball, basketball, and other games tend to see those elements in this game, so that is only natural that they see the game this way. However, Aus Rules predates most of these games so it's incorrect to think that Aus Rules took those features from those other games.
We don't wear padding in Aussie Rules (Footy, Aerial Ping Pong) it was derived from Irish Football yet we put our own spin to it 😊! And why not watch a game of Rugby then you'll see how tough the players are! And Aussie Rules is only played here in OZ (maybe in New Zealand they have a league) but don't think so but like your American Football (Gridiron) we don't really have a league out here for that sport...sorry!
They do have a kicking in danger rule, and leading with your stops out rule (whatever that's called, newish rule), but if you otherwise happen to get kicked in the private area, you've just got to take it. I do recall someone getting reported for kneeing a player in the balls. And there were players with a reputation for giving parts a little tweak in the pack when tackling.
The squirrel grip is one of footballs time honoured traditions
@@kazdean yes, yes, some would honour that. I can see it now, the training involved to master the art. I'm think martial arts/Kung Fu movie scene, Master enters: 'I have taught you all I can, you are ready to leave the temple now'.
Student: 'But Master, I don't want to go east'.
Master: 'You must, it is your destiny. You will join the AFL in search of the Holy Grail. Go my son'.
I have coaching accreditation level three in actual fact it is the more rules than any other form of football and in actual fact it doesn't have just a rule book if you are are coaching or becoming an umpire you also get a book on how to interpretate the rules called spirit of the law, because there is a fine line on judgment. generally it goes the way of the player making the ball the object and not the player and always first infringement has the higher weight.
@@timoshea1767 yes, I've always thought this makes our game unique, the degree left up to interpretation.
yes but it can lead to fan frustration and or perceived bias umpiring especially when multiple umpires are making the call@@arconeagain
He he..Its shaped like a Football....IT IS FOOTBALL. Australian Rules Football.
The blues this year come on
Aussie rules is basically a descendant of gaelic football but rougher and tougher.
They have a lot of rules and the umpires are very strict .
75% of the people who watch, dont subscribe? I think there is something in there for everyone...
to let you both know that (AFL Australian Football League) Aussie Rules Football is (NOT) Only the main winter football code but also their other main rival winter football code is the (NRL National Rugby League) as in the Rugby League Football Code that also being played in winter both here in Australia & New Zealand of course.
Rugby League Football Code is mainly being played in Queensland, New South Wales & (ACT Australian Capital Territory) while the Australian Rules Football Code is mainly being played in Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia, Northern Territory & Tasmania & that's real difference between both Rugby League & Australian Rules Football Codes of course.
In both of our (NRL National Rugby League Men's) & also in our (NRLW National Rugby League Women's) Competitions there are Rugby League Teams are the,
(1 One) New South Wales based teams that are, Parramatta Eels, South Sydney Rabbitohs, Penrith Panthers, St-George Illawarra Dragons, Newcastle Knights, Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs, Cronulla Sutherland Sharks, West Tigers & finally Manly Warringah Sea Eagles.
(2 Two) Queensland based teams that are, Brisbane Broncos, North Queensland Cowboys, Gold Coast Titans & finally Redcliffe Dolphins.
(3 Three) (ACT Australian Capital Territory) based team which is Canberra Raiders.
(4 Four) Victorian based team which is Melbourne Storm.
(5 Five) New Zealand Warriors was previously called as their original very old name was called the Auckland Warriors from Auckland, New Zealand.
The Rugby League Football Code who got the idea of (SOO State of Origin) from their Australian Rules Football Code counterparts in which that Australian Rules Football who actually did & originally did had that concept of (SOO State of Origin) Australian Rules for example, Victoria plays any of Queensland, New South Wales, Tasmania, South Australia, Western Australia all in Melbourne,
New South Wales plays any of Queensland, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia, Western Australia in Sydney,
Queensland plays any of New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia, Western Australia all in Brisbane,
Tasmania plays any of Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia all in Hobart,
South Australia plays any of Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, Western Australia all in Adelaide,
Western Australia plays any of Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia all in Perth,
But the Rugby League (SOO State of Origin) was originally started &/or established in the Year of (1980) between Queensland & New South Wales in which that Queensland had won & they won most of the State of Origin Rugby League Series more than New South Wales on Record & the General idea of the Rugby League State of Origin Football is that both teams of Queensland & New South Wales must play each other only (3 Three) times & for any of them they must either win (2 Two) OUT of (3 Three) Games &/or (3 Three) OUT of (Three) Games for the whole series regardless Queensland vs New South Wales in Brisbane or in some other place/s & New South Wales vs Queensland in Sydney or in some other place/s once more again as well too & Yes I am a Queenslander (Banana Bender) coming from Mount Isa originally myself & of course I do support Queensland when it comes to any (SOO State of Origin) in Rugby League Football & also in (SOO State of Origin) in Australian (Aussie) Rules Football as well too of course.
(NOTE) That both Rugby League Football State of Origins do both have of (NRL in Men's Games) & the NRLW in Women's Games).
Both of our Australian National Rugby League Football Teams which for Men's Team are actually called the Australian Kangaroos & for the Women's Team are actually called the Australian Jillaroos who played against Great Britian, France, New Zealand & Papua New Guinea & also in the Rugby League Football World Cup Tournaments as well too of course.
(NOTE) The New Zealand Men's National Rugby League Team are actually called the Kiwis & while the New Zealand Women's National Rugby League Team are actually called the Kiwi Ferns, of course.
But however, is that I DON'T Understand the mentality of why at all & for what reason/s that people actually do refer our Australian (Aussie) Rules Football Code as (Aerial Ping Pong) at all & people who told me many times verbally before i& also heard that from people before is that our Australian (Aussie) Rules Football is Aerial Ping Pong Football of course.
theres a lot of teams in usa
@LilJitBigDreamz about the Football (Footy) Codes all of Australian Rules Football, Rugby League Football, Rugby Union Football & finally Soccer (Football), which are,
For those who DISLIKE &/or HATE any Football (Footy) Code/s with a real passion would &/or will say these,
(1 One) Australian Rules Football, is referred as Aerial Ping Pong Football,
(2 Two) Rugby League Football, is referred as Thugby League Football,
(3 Three) Rugby Union Football, is referred as Thugby Union, &/or Rugby Yawnnion,
(4 Four) Football (Soccer), is referred as Wog Ball and also both Fairies &/or Queenies Game.
(NOTE) Aerial Ping-Pong
A jocular (and frequently derisive) name for Australian Rules Football (or Aussie Rules as it is popularly called). The term derives from the fact that the play in this game is characterised by frequent exchanges of long and high kicks.
The term is used largely by people from States both of Queensland & New South Wales in which Rugby League Football and NOT Aussie Rules (Footy) Football as &/or is the major football code. This interstate and code rivalry is often found in evidence for the term, including the early evidence from the 1940s.
1947 West Australian (Perth) 22 April: In 1941 he enlisted in the A.I.F. and joined a unit which fostered rugby football. Renfrey did not join in the &oq;mud bath&cq; and did not play 'aerial ping-pong', as the rugby exponents in the army termed the Australian game, until 1946.
1973 J. Dunn, How to Play Football: Sydneysiders like to call Australian Rules 'Aerial Ping-Pong'.
But on the other hand, for those and including myself who actually do LIKE &/or LOVE any Football (Footy) Code/s with a real passion would &/or will say these, which are,
(1 One) Australian Rules Football, is referred as the real Australian Football (Footy) Code of Australia,
(2 Two) Rugby League Football, is referred as the Greatest Game of All,
(3 Three) Rugby Union Football, is referred the Game that they do Play in Heaven,
(4 Four) Football (Soccer), is referred as the Beautiful Game & the World Game & also the Real Football Code of course.
It came from possum footy old indigenous game
No beg pardons in this sport. Go Saints 😇
They know what a cup is.
The ckeats they wear are very similar to soccer.... But still different
You need to watch a game. It's coming up to finals
Getting kicked in the private area is on unless done on purpose
We go for the ball not the man
AFL is the goat sport
What is AFL has been done to death there is a better story if you have of done your research.
The team with the blue & white hoops on their guernsey ( Geelong Cats) has an unbroken sponsorship with Ford (the American Automaker) for nearly a century.
They are at either 97 or 98 years continuous.
Did you say dodgeball?
That's why Aussies call American Football "Brawny ballet." I'd never call a professional American player a wuss to their face, but compared to the Aussie ones...
Stop with COMPARISONS to any other game of football. THIS GAME WAS CREATED IN THE 1800s when there was no other football game in the world
question: what happens if you get kicked in the private area?
answer: it hurts. next question.
there are no 'private areas'😄
Players do wear a Box to protect their privates.
Also you're not allowed to kick other players, there is even a Kicking in Danger rule for trying to kick a ball players are trying to grab with their hands. But that's boots, not knees.
But even with safety rules, accidents and intentional strikes can happen, and even a legal Hip and Shoulder can hit like a truck when it comes in full force.
Some of the attacks on the Greatest Hits compilation are truly brutal.
It is not a mix it's aussie rules there is an American competition it's aafl
It's USAFL, not AAFL.
I can tell you why you have very few followers etc. But I will get into youtube trouble like usual.. I got banned and have just changed my name where I come from in NZ... I no longer care as I have a terminal disease. YES. AFL is enormous here in Australia. I'm a kiwi and follow the All Blacks only because I come from the King Country... All Black Territory eh.
Afl is fir players who are too scared or not talented enough to play a real contact sport.

Aussie Rules is played in many countries as an amateur sport. America has the USAFL comprising 40 different leagues around the country, including a women's league. Because it's amateur, it is nowhere near as brutal as our game and is more a social game with beers and barbecues afterwards. The USAFL have just celebrated 25 years since beginning.
20-10-130 score means, 20 goals X 6 points each = 120 pts + 10 behinds (pts) = total 130 pts. Most points (not goals) wins.
Have to bounce the ball BEFORE running 15 meters, (otherwise free kick paid against you) most players bounce after a few steps to avoid running too far. Cheers. 🇦🇺🦘🐨

(1 One) Australian Rules Football Code itself is (NOT) a World Cup Football Code at all just UNLIKE the other (3 Three) World Cup Football Codes which are (1 One) Football (Soccer) Code, Rugby League Football Code & Rugby Union Football Code of course.
(2 Two) Australian (Aussie) Rules Football Code is also (NOT) even an Olympic Games Sport at all just UNLIKE the (2 Two) other Olympic Football Codes which are both of (1One) Football (Soccer) Code, (2 Two) Rugby Union Football Code of course.
But however, that Rugby Union Football is being played in the Olympic (7 Sevens) Competitions at the Olympic Games.
& I do believe that sometime in future of years to come is that the Rugby League Football Code itself away over the Australian (Aussie) Rules Football Code itself just by a country mile would have a better chance become an Olympic Sport because of the Rugby League Olympic (9 Nines) Competitions of course.
Now watch afl’s greatest fights 😳😳
I never herd of soccer what does this thing called soccer do 😂 I live in the UK and play football soccer does not exist ????😂 Not making up words
Sorry mate - Australian Rules Football was created before that game you play - which is soccer to us! WE play football!
Mamm these boys are the fittest toughest football players in the world .the game is continuous only about 20 or 30 seconds stopage for a free kick ..getting kicked in the private area would only hert for a minute or 3 then they are up back running and tackleing . very fast runners they can run up to 11 miles a game half of that at full speed. They will run straight trew most people on the street leaving them hurt badly .. these AFL players they be hit and flattened by another player from any direction .you can run in any direction.. everyone can kick ..they been kicking since they were 2 years old so by the time your 18 you had 16 years experience kicking the ball...years ago before you had to be seated they had 130, 000 at a game ..now the MCG has 100,000 seats ..just a regular game this week had 80,000... THE GRAND FINAL gets 100,000 people maximum capacity..white man ( the players)can jump but not so good at dancing muscles probably to tence not loose enough... 🇦🇺🦘❤🇺🇸🦅
