Apologies for the Small Screen i was first starting out and not 100% sure what i was doing with editing and recording methods. this is fixed in all recent videos! hope you guys still enjoyed!
Check out mark ricciuto from the adelaide crows. He stiff armed better that dusty. There is a clip of him hitting and eagles player with his should to the guys jaw and making the eagles player flip. If you want amazing speed and skills andrew McLeod in the same team. Both we 90s to 2000s when it was still hard football and bumps were fine.
Oh also mark is a hall of fame and brownlow medalist and after a showdown game punched on with the other teams players at the ramsgate pub the next day. He smashed Carr.
My father's cousin used to be captain of Richmond back in day (late 60s, early 70s) ... Roger Dean. He had a massive rep for staging incidents for free kicks. He earned the nickname "Autumn Leaves" because he was always falling down. (: Also... "The Actor". But he was still considered one of the best players of that era.
Leigh Mathews (pronounced Lee) was actually charged by the Police for his assault on Neville Brunns during the match. It totally changed the game and 99% of the thuggery was removed from it, now that the Police were prepared to charge people with assault for ‘whacking’ somebody while playing.
The Tony Lockett song is a re-lyriced version of the song Guantanamera by the Sandpipers. There's been a few different versions of that song that have made their way through Aussie culture (most famously an ad for a truck called a 'Rodeo' ("Roh-Day-Oh") which used the phrase 'One tonne rodeo...') The more you know ;) Keep up the vids. loving the content and I'm not even an AFL fan nowadays - just really interesting to see someone learning about something that is so woven into Aussie culture. Haven't read through all the comments on other vids, but it really is worth reiterating that a good portion of Australia comes to a complete standstill for the AFL and rugby league grand finals, which are on consecutive weekends.
The story of Robert Muir is a sad and pathetic tale. The man's life was ruined by systemic societal racism, and of course football racism. A brilliant junior player, he simply couldn't cope with the endless racism from fans and players. Basically drove him nuts. Stk issued a formal apology to Muir last year for its lack of support throughout his career.
I always felt Muir was hard done by. He just meted out what he got with racist taunts. Wevejust got rid of a club oresident who did not understand how racist his club was / is. Funny thing is that it is a black and white issue.
And he broke the knee of the greatest Australian Football player ever; Barrie Robran. It happened, ironically, in Sydney; 1974. A state game between Vic and SA.
I was at a bar at the casino after work. Went to get a drink. Came back, bloke was leaning on my chair talking to these girls I was with. "Sorry mate.. I'm sitting there" . He apologised. I sat down, turned round and it was number 8 in the list Dermot Brereton. Shat myself. I actually ended up chatting to him, nice bloke. He was in Perth commentating on a game the next day. Oh I forgot to mention, this was about 2am. Him and his buddy were due up at 7am and were both pretty hammered
Back in the day the game was a lot more wild. Deliberate punches and fights happen very rarely now. The AFL has done a great job in eradicating this sort or stuff. The game is hard enough as it is. The players today are so big and fast that collisions in the game are just brutal. Keep up the great gear champ!
That's not surprising as it does add to the already risk of playing this sport! Its deffo great to go back and witness it! Thank you for the support, another afl video will be coming out not tomorrow but the day after. :)
Hard to believe given what you’ve seen here but Greg Williams, Tony Lockett and Robert Dipierdomenico all won the the best and fairest player in the competition throughout their careers. Potentially those occurred in the only season they didn’t get suspended (which made you ineligible). Greg Williams won 2 league best and fairest (Brownlow Medal) and a Grand Final MVP (Norm Smith Medal) for Carlton in 1995. He is a bit of a victim of the brutality of the era in which he played. He currently suffers a lot of memory issues, likely linked to the concussions he suffered. It is said he has little to no memory of the 1995 Grand Final. The longest suspension of his career came for the fend/brush off of the umpire 10:42 into the video. Robert Dipierdomenico and Dermott Bremerton teamed up for Hawthorn during the 80s thru early 90s and won 5 premierships and an additional 5 preseason premierships. No.1 Leigh (pron Lee) Matthews has been acclaimed the greatest player of the first 100 years of the VFL/AFL. 4 premierships also for Hawthorn, the league’s leading goal kicker one season (Coleman Medal) and 4 more premierships as coach, 1 x Collingwood 1990 ( to end a 38 year drought) and 3 in a row with the Brisbane Lions. The achievements make it a little hard to argue with his elevate standing in the game? Notably throughout their careers some of these players were accumulatively suspended for more than an entire season (22 weeks).
Most of the really violent players were in the amateur / Semi-pro era 60's to 1990, where players made little money, not many cameras watching you and suspensions were relatively light. Now the game is fully pro the fights are mostly push and shove and slaps as the financial consequences hurt and the suspensions can really hurt your playing future.
Btw it’s Tony Lockett not Tommy. And yes you should react to him he has the most goals scored in AFL history with 1360 while only playing 281 games which is absolutely insane (some of the greatest players ever go up to almost 400 games for their career). That means he average just under 5 goals a game for his whole career which is just incredible. If you want good highlight reels though watch Dustin Martin he’s one of the best players in the game atm. (Watch Dustin Martin best of 2017) that’s a really well put together video and 2017 was the best year of his career.
Apologies. My mic covers the lower part of my screen and I must of misread it. Thank you for correcting me though. Wow I really appreciate that. 100% added to the list and expect atleast 1 of them on the weekend. Got a couple videos pre planned so the next AFL video will be Thursday and it is the best Mark's of all time. Hope to see you around :D
@@TheBeesleys99 yeah sounds good. Dusty is great he is a 3x premiership player and is the only player in history with 3 norm smith medals (mvp for the grand final day) and is arguably the best finals player ever (him or Luke Hodge), if Dusty can win 1 more premiership he’ll 100% be a top 10 greatest player ever and I hate Richmond (the team he plays for) with a passion so I’m not biased haha. Chris Judd is also amazing along with Luke Hodge, Patrick Dangerfield, Robert Harvey, Lance Franklin (greatest forward of this era), Nat Fyfe and many more that you could look at in the future. :) good luck.
I've had a quick scan through the comments and if someone else has raised this then I apologise. At 11.00 we see Greg Williams give one to David Rhys Jones, breaking his jaw in the process. Rhys Jones refused to come off the ground and played for another 20 to 30 minutes until he had the opportunity to even the score, knowing that any subsequent suspension was meaningless since her would be missing 6 - 8 weeks while his jaw healed .......
Hey beesly I'm an Aussie I've played footy from the age of 10 years old now 35,have to say love the reactions,if you want a decent one watch 2004 derby west coast vs freo .they are the 2 afl teams in Perth western Australia
In today games these big all in fights are rare and don’t have the punches due to the risks involved such as massive fines and suspensions back then most of them got away with a 1 week suspension if that. AFL has gone in the right direction now but it’s always good look at these old fights. FYI if these big all in fights happen in today games you will notice the umpires will continue to play the game and the players will usually stop and focus on the game instead, therefore they only last a few seconds or so.
I kinda expected that. It's the way all sport is going and it deffo protects the players a lot more. That's a actually a great way of stopping it because the whole team need to focus on the game and if they dont they could drop a lot of points! Thank you for the insight! Would be great to see you in future videos!
@@TheBeesleys99 if ya keen to check out Dermie and Dipper in this game we all keep talking about it's the 1989 Grand Final, Hawthorn vs Geelong. Don't barrack for either club but still one of the greatest games of footy I've witnessed a neck I was a kid when it happened and still remember it. The Hawks coach gave one of the greatest speeches ever to razz his team...check out Allan Jeans - Legend...words to live ya life by.
Jacko Jackson was mad as a hatter. PS: I went past Dermot on Swanson St in Melbourne, massive upper body and thighs... but his friends let him forget calf days. His calves were as small as my forearms.
It was a name he didn't like. He was continually racially abused by opposition, team mates and fans and he was unable to just wear it without distress. It affected his ability to play the game and that became known, so it continued relentlessly, as though the ends justified the means, it's a shocking part of the sport and still happens today, though thankfully it's called out.
What you saw never happens in today’s football. The penalties for that sort of thing quite severe, So the players are not game to do that stuff. You might see the odd wrestling melee, but all participants will be heavily fined. I prefer the modern clean game, rather than have your best player knocked out of the game. Tony locket holds the record for the most goals kicked in AFL history. 1360 goals. Rough as guts, but brilliant player. You saw Buddy Franklin who has less than 1000 goals, and neither buddy nor any other player will ever reach Locket’s record. Buddy is big and strong, Lockett was10 times that. Number one, Leigh Matthews, (pronounced Lee.) is regarded as arguably one of the best AFL players of all time. However he has never won a Brownlow medal which is awarded to the best player in an AFL season. The medal is for the, “Fairest” and best player, not the other way round. It is therefore obvious why Matthews has never won it. Ditto so many other great players.
In my opinion , you should cater more for the people who want to watch your reaction videos, rather than compensating for those that don't by skipping through the video. You will only alienate the people who actually enjoy it.

Leigh Matthews the only AFL player to be criminally charged with assault by the police for an on field incident.
And he broke the knee of the greatest Australian Football player ever; Barrie Robran. It happened, ironically, in Sydney; 1974. A state game between Vic and SA.
Very old times.
Dermott Breradon received 3 broken ribs and a punctured lung during the Grand Final. And kept playing.
Can't stand Dermy, he's a total tool, but full props cos not only is this true, it happened in the opening minutes of the game.
Gutsiest thing I've seen on the field, and l was there baracking for Geelong.
Speaking of gutsy, who remembers when Creswick and O'Toole knocked their own dislocated kneecap back in while on the ground and kept playing.
@@jmc7636
I've actually had to do that mate...it's no big deal. Extremely painful, tho.
@@hanajinks1044 yeah-nah mate it's kinda a big deal, takes a fair wack of guts to do and then to keep playing...don't sell yaself short

Well said. Thankfully the likes of Leigh Mathews, Tony, not Tommy lol, Locket, and other out and out dirty players, are just names from the past.
Yep butched the tony here ahaha read it completly wrong aha
Leigh Matthews nickname was Lethal for good reason lol
Notice how many StKilda players on this list? We didn't win many games during this time period, but we were full of tough bastards!
Those were the good old days.

Oh when the saints go marching in
@@TheBeesleys99 To be fair Robbie Muir had a hard live of abuse as a child, and he couldnt handle the entrenched racism he suffered. Very sad story.
The player you referred to as Tommy Lockett , his name is TONY Lockett.

I don't mind the longer vids🙂🙂
Thank you! :D really appriciate the support!
@@TheBeesleys99 no problem at all.
Its Tony locket most goals ever kicked in afl
Watch his most amount of goals in games. GOAT full forward
You have to watch number 2 Barry hall.
I still dont know why I skipped this video. Bwcer sone it before and never will again but yeah hes a beast!
Hey beesly I'm an Aussie I've played footy from the age of 10 years old now 35,have to say love the reactions,if you want a decent one watch 2004 derby west coast vs freo .they are the 2 afl teams in Perth western Australia
'Freo' being Freemantle, because us Aussies love to abbreviate everything we can
You don't see this so much now. Players can't get away with so much now, this is pretty old school.
Read an article about Muir, think he was pretty hard done by

The feminization of the game has destroyed it. It's supposed to be sport, which is supposed to be violent.
Go Chris Lewis. My grand mother’s cousin. Lynette Phillips
Dermott Brereton was a beast of a player, got his ribs broken in the 1st quarter in the 1989 Grand Final and played the remaining 3 quarters still.
Will be sure to check him out! That's incredible! I wouldnt be able to do it with a small injury never mind a broken rib!
@@darrenpants2700 Not only that, he managed to kick 5 goals as well, one tough bastard Dermie was.

You have to watch no 3 Carl Ditterich. No sure Carl was even out there to play football.
I will add it to the list! Cant wait to react to more than this! It looks like no one plays the sport from this video 😂😂
That man was like a tilting windmill in a typhoon.
Wow I'm expecting big things cant wait!
Bloody oath. Carl Ditterich was a dead set maniac.
Carl was the dirtiest.
There's only one Tony Lockett
Rugby is much more brutal and they do fight...And I am an Aussie rules supporter..COLLINGWOOD..GO PIES
Robbie Muir was nick named Mad Dog and it Tony Lockett not Tommy. There's only one Tony Lockett was the title of that song

FFS Leigh is pronounced Lee Matthews
Will nail it next time!
Tony Lockett
Loving the Metallica songs in the AFL vid
Copyright didnt 😅 was part of the original video and deffo added to it!
TONY Lockett, mate. NOT Tommy.
Yep I misread it but learning :D
Your number one was Lethal Lee Mathews.
Don’t skip parts
Yeah I made a mistake this video! Never doing that again!
Some of the guys in this video, Tony Lockett, Greg Williams and Leigh Matthews are some of the greatest players of all time
Thanks for letting me know! i will have to react to some of their plays! Thank you for commenting!
As distinct from the likes of Robbie Flower, Keith Grieg, Barry Cable, etc who were actually talented players instead of thugs and cheats
Leigh Matthews one of the dirtiest as well
Funny innit. The true greats all had a nasty streak.
I'm obvs a Tiger, and despise the Navy Blue, but I looooved Diesel Williams. A genius.
no fights just big hits...compared to rugby. Some are very amusing. One punch is 2 to 3 weeks suspension. 2 punches you get 4 to 8 weeks
You have to watch top 9 all in brawls of all time
Completely agree! On the list mate! Thank you for commenting really appreciate it!
All I saw was Mathew's taking a lot of cheap shots.. Not Impressed. He's just a thug. I'm aussie but footy not about that bs..
A very good one though, and backed it up. But, you're right, Leigh was pretty dirty. What he did to Cable and Bruns was a disgrace.
Just a coward Matthews
No 8. Mark "Jacko" Jackson recorded a song: th-cam.com/video/e2b973-12dI/w-d-xo.html. He was mad.
