This is the greatest form of football, period. It's got everything; the constant movement of soccer, the high-flying action of NFL, and the big, and unprotected hits of rugby. From the USA, with love, GO PIES!!!!
Football is the greatest, + only form of football, the fact that other games choose to refer to themselves as 'football' is nothing other than ridiculous + it doesn't align these games with football in any way. The games in question are quite different + are in no way as similar as you claim, for a start, 'handball' would be a far more appropriate name for both games. There's only one football + that's all there is to it, no amount of arrogance will change that, the emergence of the word 'soccer', for example, unbelievable!!!!! It's your game that needs a name, ffs!!!! And I feel that you need a reality check, football is the world game, no other team sport comes close to it, your game barely registers existence in comparison + calling it football is just dumb, it's like calling a new card game, poker! There's no good reason for doing so........... Why not call it golf???.......or Brian??? Are there any more words you want to change want they mean???? I'm kidding, you're not the boss, in spite of how it might seem.
We've lost our true AFL legend, Australia mourns the loss of our Ronald Dale Barassi, for all you overseas fans, we thank you for your support at this time
It’s easier than it used to be. You can see them in Australia through the official AFL website but I’m not sure if you can do so in the USA. Give it a go, you never know. In the absence of that, you can always get the highlights on the AFL’s official TH-cam channel, the teams’ TH-cam channels, and definitely the Grand Finals, and some of the old games for free.
I love this game....shame I live in Jersey, no AFL played here, I’m too old and slow....thank goodness for BT Sport, I get to see five live games every week...so exciting, tough, passionate and entertaining....proud to be a Jersey Hawk....maybe my island one day will add Aussie Rules to the other football codes.....hope so....stay safe all
I use to love watching Teddy Whitten ‘Ham it up’ during interstate competition. Love his ‘antics’ or hate them, he was great for footy and the competition. Ted would of been a great Character Actor in another life. RIP ‘MR Football’. I also watched Royce Hart dismantle a Western Australian backline at the MCG while playing for Victoria (Yes it was permitted back then), simply amazing display of natural ability and skill.
1:21:10 Iconic photo of Michael Tuck consoling Robbie Flower who was playing in his first and only finals series after being an all time great for Melbourne on the wing throughout his career. He retired after this before the Dees made the grand final in 1988. Tuck was through to his 8th grand final and 5th in a row. He eventually played in 11 for 7 premierships, both VFL/AFL records. Joel Selwood has played in 5 grand finals for 3 wins to put that in perspective.
They gloss quickly over Barassi’s career at Melbourne and focus on his time at Carlton. He was at Melbourne for 12 years. He was at Carlton at for 3 and stunk as a player there. How come they don’t mention Jezza’s time at St Kilda?
Because Barassi’s move to Carlton was seismic. The Blues hadn’t won a flag since ‘47 and Barassi’s arrival started a run of sustained success the Club hadn’t experienced before or since. Meanwhile, Melbourne haven’t won a premiership since Ron’s departure. Seismic.
sliat1981 if you don’t understand why the biggest name in the game leaving a club he had such strong personal ties to, then the context of what came next for the club he joined and the one he left is worth covering I can’t explain it to you. Melbourne didn’t even make the finals for 23 years after he left... he was groomed as the next in line, the one to keep the demons dynasty rolling. It’s still to this day one of the biggest player movements in the history of the game
21:33 Melbourne thug #14 directly causes Peter Hudson's career-wrecking injury. Easy and clear mark to Hudson on the lead before this guy comes in late and takes out his frustration by trying to knock his head off. Probably didn't even get reported for that in those days. 3 or 4 weeks these days, unless you're Patrick Dangerfield then it's all good.
Suggest you have a look at some of lethal Leigh’s finest work before you sook up about anyone else. The only man in history to be charged with criminal assault for his on field conduct at the top level. Also was found guilty of charges. The only real shock here was it only happened once. To his credit he never spooked up unlike you.
Australian footy is the second oldest homegown code rugby is the oldest 1908 was when the nswfrl formed. Before 1908 aussie rules was Victoria,SA,WA and Tas, there was no aussie rules in nsw and Queensland or not requnised. remember footy up is rugby. the first comp was the challenge cup which was the first semi professional comp in 1864. then the vfa from 1877 which the first organised comp which finished 1999, 1995 it became the vfa trading as the vsfl. Als even if the clubs didn't go bankrupt the vfl always would have become the afl
People in the US and other countries, Aussie Rules was and is played in Tasmania, South Australia, Western Australia, and Northern Territory. This was made by a Vic newspaper, so is selective bullshit!
no structure ? 18 set field positions r structure .. no rules . ?what do u think the umpires are doing ? u really r a twit .the only thing ridiculous here is your silly comment run ,push ,kick well yes u do have to run in 90% of sports and being football of course u kick the ball .
No rules or structure.? Of course there are rules, many of them, and for any fan of the game, it has structure. To a basic nimrod, of course it would seem not to have structure.

Man I want this to catch on here in the states. I see it on TV quite a bit. More people for sure know of it now.
Really?

That’s funny considering half of Australia despise this game.

You can catch it all on Watch AFL.
Hopefully one day mate 👊
Amen
Nearest one in the USAFL is New York Magpies. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Australian_Football_League
who wants to play a game using the 1897 rule book
I do.
The rules are, in fact, tinkered with regularly and will continue to be.
Ridiculous comment
@MUFC can you shut the fuck up drone
@MUFC please understand that nobody cares about your opinion
I so so so miss 2008.
footy nowadays looks so different from decades ago. Miss the old goal umpire uniform and their quick decisions
Today's footy is like owning $50 worth of paperbags if you throw up heaps.
Great video, fell in love during the espn replays of the vfl when i was a kid in the US, Go Cats!!
i remember when there were 3 clubs in the VFL that started with the letter F
Footscray, Fitzroy and F@cking Collingwood
That's not how you spell Flagpies 🤣
As an American this is the best brand of football!! Go North Melbourne kangaroos.It's in my blood!!!
58 Horseshoe yours would be awesome without all the time outs
sliat1981 time outs happen when the ball goes out bounds. It’s essential for the game, it wouldn’t work without an out of bounds.

Here after Buddy kicked his 1000th… He said Lloyd was most likely. And bud took that personally.

Robert Flower, the greatest, fairest, most humble, and most skilled player to have ever played the game.
The mighty KB,the bigger the game,the better he was.
Does anyone else think it's weird there's a player taking a mark in glasses at 3:00?
I think I remember big Polly Farmer play in Dublin in the mid 60s in a GAA/AUSSIE RULES COMPROMISE RULES game...Am I correct??
Yes, there's a doco on Stan about that series.
Go the mighty swans
It's a lucky league to have Collingwood
They gloss quickly over Barassi’s career at Melbourne and focus on his time at Carlton. He was at Melbourne for 12 years. He was at Carlton at for 3 and stunk as a player there. How come they don’t mention Jezza’s time at St Kilda?
Probably cause Barassi at his time at Carlton changed the way the game was played,while Jezza did not at St Kilda.
You can only fit so much on two DVD's.
Because Barassi’s move to Carlton was seismic. The Blues hadn’t won a flag since ‘47 and Barassi’s arrival started a run of sustained success the Club hadn’t experienced before or since. Meanwhile, Melbourne haven’t won a premiership since Ron’s departure.
Seismic.
Manchego Cheese yes but as a player HE STUNK

18:18 John Coleman must be the greatest player ever. 12 goal debut, career average 5.5 goals per game.
@Tiger Shark :D
Average player
Cox from Collingwood a american played more games
They saved the best till last go the Eagles 🎉
Where's the second part?
jrewell1978 this is the whole thing; I just merged the two videos together.
To think footy was played outside of Victoria. LOL
A game where blokes can go to war, prove their grit and determination against eachother and share a pot after and a laugh.
The United States needs to welcome in millions of women est children by the millions instead of causing wars
not a real history, should have been chronological

A gasometre. Those blokes are so bloody healthy and happy.
not all facts are correct

@@adrianbarichievich7756 it was 1996 that the vfa is the vfl.
The vfa finished under its name in 1995 then vfa trading as the vsfl. The vfa finished officially in 1999

Peter daicos had more skill than ablett just not a better mark
A game with no rules or structure ,just run push kick.ridiculous sport.
I bet your a soccer fan.
Na, I rugby supporter I reckon. She just doesn't understand the game.
no structure ? 18 set field positions r structure ..
no rules . ?what do u think the umpires are doing ? u really r a twit .the only thing ridiculous here is your silly comment
run ,push ,kick well yes u do have to run in 90% of sports and being football of course u kick the ball .

Huddo said about kanga - it's what he doesn't say that counts. Truer words not spoken.
These players demanded more money as they needed to support their families.
