Legend "Nick Nat" (Nicholas Naitanui) was born in Sydney to Fijian parents. He also excelled at basketball and track and field events, particularly high jump, and was asked by recruiters to trial with American universities, but declined to do so.
The team Nick Nat played for is the Fremantle Dockers in Perth. Nat Fyfe played in the grand final with a broken leg and went on to accept the Brownlow medal on crutches. Now that’s a legend. Eagles have had a few legends too RIP Chris Mainwaring❣️
I am a West Coast Eagles fan so I'm pretty biased bit Nic is such an amazing guy. I love my team and it's an honour to have had him be part of the Eagles.
A torp is a type of kick known as the torpedo. Something that adds extra interest to the Aussie footy game is the random bounce of the football. Players have to be on high alert as it can bounce in any direction. Nic Natanui is an Aussie whose parents were born in Fiji, an island in the South Pacific Ocean.
Gidday mate. Nice to see a Yank taking an interest in our game. I do with your NFL, which is played on our TV out hear. Not all games just a select few each week of your season. I wish to correct one thing that Nick said and that was that he called the yellow shirted fellas (guys) "Referees". No, we call them one of two names - The two chaps running with the game in the middle of the field are AN UMPIRE/S and the two chaps running up and down each edge of the field are called BOUNDARY UMPIRES. They do something that American football doesn't have. When the ball goes 'out of bounds' they then blow a whistle and with one arm straight up to signal the Centre Umpire to stop the game. Then the Boundary Umpire then throws the ball high back over his head and the players jump for it like a centre bounce. They have other jobs too but it would take up too much room. here. I was the Secretary of a major rural city's team in a very large district league and several minor league clubs, for over 25 years. Loved every single minute of the camaraderie, the sport and the socialising with members of other clubs after the game. Rivalry:- We had a saying that "What happens on the field stays on the field." And another, when some joker would call out "Who called the umpire a bastard?" to which one or more would answer, yelling out "Who called the Bastard an Umpire?!" Cheers, from an old Aussie.
when Dunstall kicked his 1000th goal about 2 men n their dog jumped the fence that day it would have been different if the game was played in Melbourne rather than QLD
Yes I remember it too. Against my team unfortunately. There was a funny joke going around afterwards of Malcolm Blight coming across a fire in a multi story apartment building. A woman was holding her baby at a window high up in the building as the smoke and flames were threatening them. Malcolm called out, “Throw the baby down and I’ll catch it. I’m the greatest mark in the game!” The woman dropped the baby and Malcolm rose into the air and caught it and the crowd went wild. Malcolm held the baby aloft as the cheers became louder and then he did a massive torpedo down the street.
20,000 points is a lot of points..... but probably equivalent to about 900 or 1,000 goals. 2 of the 3 best full forwards ever never got close to kicking 1,000 goals in the VFL / AFL due to career ending knee injuries. The record for a season is held by 2 players at 150 goals . Bob Pratt kicked his 150 in only 18 games.....at nearly 9 goals a game. Pratt played for South Melbourne in the VFL during the 1930's......an incredible footballer who always played drunk ( was an alcaholic ). Peter Hudson equaled the record of 150 during the 1971 Grand Final, but in about 21 games . Hudson would have beaten the record but Cowboy Neale king hit him late in the 2nd quarter, almost tearing his left ear off. Hudson was a soft player in a brutal Hawthorn team, but St. Kilda were just as brutal, bigger and tougher.....Hudson continued and played out the game , but being concussed he couldnt kick straight. In my opinion, Hudson was the best and greatest full forward ever. Because he was soft he was a target and the umpires refused to protect him. He even changed his game completely just to survive, but still holds the record for goal avg per game played. He retired with the knee injury averaging over 6 goals a game, but made a comeback in his home state of Tasmania. Because he was still kicking bags of goals in Tasmania, Hawthorn asked him to play one more game, at Waverley.....without training with the team he flew to Melbourne, then arrived at Waverley via helicopter , which landed in the middle of the ground. He then kicked 8 goals, destroying the Collingwood backline, in only 2 quarters and retired at half time. A couple of years later Hawthorn asked him to play again, despite his age and fitness. He did play one more season, kicked over 100 goals , won the goal kicking again, and achieved the 100 goals for the 6th season in a row ( in a row aa per seasons played ). The next best is only about 4 seasons in a row from twice as many seasons and games. It should be noted.....every time Hudson marked the ball, he was punched in the head from behind.....that was the fullbacks job. Every good team had a back pocket player whose job was to take Hudson out.....anyway possible.
AFL is easy to remember because A is the first letter of the alphabet. AFL is the first ever coded football anywhere. Nic was a brilliant player and that kick was 75 metre’s not 70. You have to watch Mason Cox, Don’t believe in never. He had a 6 figure job waiting for him when he finished College in Texas. Instead he signed up to play for my team in AFL when he had never seen a game.
Lol comparing NFL to AFL is like comparing hockey and NFL ... Completely different warzone. But we compare it to cricket... Another game you should check out, though I seriously doubt you would be interested long-term

Lol
Legend?… that’s a stretch

Any participant in AFL must be a super athlete. The highest level of fitness is a must, plus extraordinary talent.
I am a West Coast Eagles fan so I'm pretty biased bit Nic is such an amazing guy. I love my team and it's an honour to have had him be part of the Eagles.
I am not a West Coast fan, but Nic Naitanui is a straight up gem.
Plugger (the pig) is the highest goal kicker at 1360. Buddy Franklin is 4th retired at 1066.
There's only one Tony Lockett
Dunstalls nickname was piggy
That kick by Malcom Blight @ the 2.15 mark was measured at 82 metres which is just over 90 yards for our friends from the USA.
Know he is tall, but the bloody shoulders on Naitanui. Huge man

And we have women's football as well!
Top Reaction Mate!👍
Nick Nat is is such a doofus. I fuckin adore him and his commentary.
Such a phenomenal player.
That was when Buddy Franklin kicked his 10,000th goal

The big torpedo kick when he is walking up as he about to have his shot the commentator says oh he would have to kick it 85 - 90 meters
when a player scores his 100th goal of the season or 1000th career goal, that is when everyone jumps the fence and runs onto the field. 😄😄
when Dunstall kicked his 1000th goal about 2 men n their dog jumped the fence that day it would have been different if the game was played in Melbourne rather than QLD
Malcolm.blight kicked the goal to win the game. I was there that day

Nats is a top bloke and brilliant to watch.
Afl best goals/goal of the years
Ohhh Niknat ma boiiiii!
Newly subbed Aussie here mate..
Nice reaction man, great to see that you still remember some of the stuff you’ve watched
Highly recommend the Mason Cox: don’t believe in never video, basketballer from Texas that joined the AFL, great story, great video! ✌️
He’s a pretty average footy player though

You need to see the fights 😂😂😂😂
Nik Nak Paddy whack one of the greatest Rickman of all time only problem is he's not at the bombers

KJ is my friend's brother's son

AFL is a Game for real men, and really tough women
AFL is easy to remember because A is the first letter of the alphabet. AFL is the first ever coded football anywhere. Nic was a brilliant player and that kick was 75 metre’s not 70.

which is just over 82 yards
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏👍
