Australian Rules football was developed in the 1850s as a way to keep cricketers fit during winter. It's technically the oldest codified football code in the world.
@Michael Rogers Kids grow up playing footy. Almost everyone knows what footy is. For those that don't you tell them it's "football" ("footy" - short for "football", get it?). If still confused, you tell them you play Aussie Rules. I've never heard a 12-year old kid say he plays Australian Football. He'd get a look like, "who's this pretentious little prick?"
@@cameronbarrow6834 We are Geelong the greatest team of all. We are Geelong we're always on the ball. Our banners fly high, from dawn too dark, down at Kardinia park.
We've had competition for punters for a while that have come from Australia. Ben Graham and Saverio Rocco have played for different teams in the NFL, and I want to say that one has even won a super bowl. Dustin Fletcher's son turned down the AFL to play college football. I'm not sure which university he's at, though. I'm from Nebraska, where the state religion is College Football. I saw my first AFL game in 1995. I haven't looked back. It is that fun to both watch and play, because the action is nonstop. You don't have that plan-play-stop-plan pattern that makes the NFL boring. Now, to the scores. Think about it this way. Goals are like touchdowns, worth 6 points. Behinds are like the extra point, worth one point. But instead of lumping it all into the full score, you single out how many of those you've had, and then add it to the total. So for the score, if you had 20 goals, that would be 20 "touchdowns", at 6 points each. If you had 10 behinds, that's like 10 extra points. Then you add that together for the full score. 20*6= 120, + 10 = 130. That that's how the scores can get so close or absolute blowouts. Sometimes a game can be decided by a single point kicked after the clock runs out. And yes, some have even ended in a draw/tie, so the action goes down to the last second. Finally, we have an AFL competition here in the US, called the USAFL. You'd like that. I'll get to more of that later, right now, I'll give you a choice: hits or marks. If you want hits, go with Here Comes the Boom: AFL's biggest hits. If you want marks, go with the Top 50 AFL marks of all time, and be sure to watch them all. Welcome to the AFL!

Can I ask you do any of the USAFL teams have there own full size grounds, because that must be a negative in trying to get the game off the ground in the US
@@darrenpants2700 Good question. I wouldn't call them full size "grounds", as true AFL grounds would be on a cricket oval, and cricket isn't played in the US. Closest Cricket oval I've been to is in Vancouver, Canada. So most of the sides here will play on grounds with plenty of space, and obviously, the larger, the better. We have 48 teams in the USAFL, with more than half of them having a women's comp as well. www.usafl.com
@@deanrobinson7751 The short doco on him available on youtube is actually really well shot and is a great story, shows off different parts of the game too. Definitely worth a react, thats coming from a bombers fan
For those of you having difficulties with the Score Lines. The first number is Goals - 6points each and the second is Behinds - 1 point each so 20 10 130 is (20x6)+10=130 or 20 Goals and 10 Behinds for a final score of 130 points total. Just multiply the first number by 6 and add the second to get the 3rd
To be honest guys, they’ve taken some liberties with the size of the players. It’s true some of the taller players are up to 6’10” or so but most aren’t that tall. One of the best parts of footy is that you can be any size and play. There is a position for anyone.
@@KrustyVlogs - true.. at 290 you wouldn't get a spot on an AFL team... too slow... every player on an AFL team is virtually a utility player these days.
@@KrustyVlogs very true. The size of the ground and the running involved means they’ve got to be slimmer than that. Although I’ve played community football with guys who were easily 290 and over. Safe to say they didn’t move much.
@@KrustyVlogs some players 240 - 250, but its a speed/endurance type of game... basketball ball speed with soccer endurance the guy taking the mark at 6:10 is 201cm (6.6ft), 110kg (240lb) - www.westcoasteagles.com.au/players/688/nic-naitanui#playerbio its a lot like basketball in that respect.. you dont want a 7ft 300lb point guard, but it would be fine for a center, and you have to consider the size of the field... how many 290 players could run 5-7 miles per game at speed
The scores are pretty simple Collingwood 20 10 130 Carlton 18 12 120 The first numbers 20 and 18 are how many goals each team has gotten in the game, The second numbers 10 and 12 are how many behinds each team has gotten in the game, The last numbers 130 and 120 are what the final score is, And remember a goal is worth 6 points and a behind is worth 1 point. Hope this helped❤️ Btw Collingwood is the team I barrack for❤️❤️
I've always thought college running backs who don't make the NFL would be perfect to tryout for the AFL. Fast ball carriers are exactly what the AFL looks for.
great to see you guys reacting to AFL vids! the score which was shown on the video.. the first number represents goals (6 pts), the second number is points (or behinds) (1pt) and the last number was the total score :)
Australian football AFL was first played in 1858 in regional Victoria Australia and then professionally in 1898. AFL is actually older than both rugby and American football and older than basketball and soccer. But not as old as the Irish Gaelic football that AFL was formed out from.
Fact checking you. First AFL game played in 1856 between 2 schools in Melbourne. Gaelic football was formed in the early 1880's. Earliest codified football code in the world. Despite what soccer and RU people will tell you
Bouncing the ball - the rule is every 15 metres but they've "Americanised" the units for you, hence "16 yards". So you can run with it as far as you like as long as you bounce it to the ground every 15 metres. You can also bend down and touch it to the ground but that's pretty awkward when you're running. It's a bit like the "travel" rule in basketball. The penalty for exceeding 15 metres without touching it to the ground or passing it is a free kick to the opposition. Judging the distance is subjective and up to the umpires but the crowd will normally voice their opinion! if you're tackled while you're running with it, you have to attempt to dispose of it by passing. Otherwise you may be penalised for "holding the ball" and a free kick awarded to the opposition. With the score, the first column is goals (6 points), the second column is "behinds" (1 point), and the 3rd column is the total points.
Those score lines in the vid aren't explained for you... The first number is the amount of goals scored, the second is the amount of behinds and the third is the total points scored.
The detail most Americans miss when looking at this is "4 on the bench". That's a team size of only 22 with 18 on the field. You can't expect to get a break, you play ALL game. In NFL, you get 11 on the field, but a team of 46 to that can subbed in. That's a lot of people resting in an NFL game.
And, the game was adopted from our indigenous people. Europeans saw Aboriginal people playing their own form of the game roughly on the spot where the MCG now sits and adapted it to, eventually, become the sport it is now. Some of our best players are also Aboriginal people. It’s just another awesome part of their culture we’re lucky to share with.
The kick that scored a goal at the beginning was taken from roughly half-way. On the Melbourne Cricket Ground, where the finals are played, halfway is roughly 70 metres from the goalposts, so that kicker punted the ball almost 80 yards before it hit the ground, and that was under pressure, as he was kicking in play, rather than from a mark. Such kickers would be legends in the NFL, but they are relatively common within AFL
You’ve said it a couple of Krusty about Aussies becoming kickers or Punters. Darren Bennett played in the AFL from 1987-1993 before becoming a Punter for the San Diego Chargers, he was then named to the NFL 1990’s all decade team and into the Chargers Hall of Fame. My little knowledge of him but apparently he changed the way Punting is done. Ben Graham and Sav Rocco are also 2 AFL players that turned into successful NFL punters both becoming some of the oldest NFL rookies ever. Good call saying the Aussies and kick
Keep Watching the AFL - i hope you love it - and we (the fans of AFL) will watch you guys come out here and dominate in the future ( practice the skills )
With the part at 7:01where you see those scores the first number is the number of goals the second number is the number of behinds and the third number is the total number of points so take the top score for example a goal is 6 points so 20 X 6 is 120 and a behind is one point so 120 + 10 is 130
Score 20 10 130 is 20 goals worth 6 points each equals 120 points plus 10 points equals total 130 points score. Watch best 50 goals and best 50 marks to blow your mind. Best players. Buddy Franklin,Dusty Martin,Nic Natanui,Eddie Betts,Cyril Rioli.
Hey, some NFL teams should consider adopting some AFL game play, especially kicking on the run, and kicking towards and through the goals with less reliance on passing. The ball so rarely gets kicked in US football
To be technical you don’t generally call the sport AFL because that’s the name/brand of the national competition it’s either Australian rules football or Aussie rules. If I was walking through Central Park and saw people playing gridiron I wouldn’t say look they’re playing NFL.
Hey guys, did you know AFL is a small but growing sport in the US. Check out USAFL for details. Apparently, there are over 1200 clubs in the US. To give you an idea the following towns and cities compete in the National League. Most of these clubs field competitive ladies teams too. There are 2 clubs in Phoenix and Minneapolis. One club in each of the following. Atlanta, Austin, Baltimore, Baton Rouge, Birmingham, Boston, Centennial Colorado, Chicago, Cleveland, Columbus Ohio, Dallas, Washinton DC, Denver, Des Moines, Fort Lauderdale, San Francisco, Honolulu, Jacksonville, Kansas City, Vegas baby, Little Rock, L.A, Portland Maine, Milwaukee, Nashville, NYC, Raleigh, Plano Texas, Cincinnati, Tulsa, Irvine California, Philadelphia, Portland Oregon, Rome Georgia, Richmond Virginia, Sacramento, St Louis, San Diego, Savannah Georgia, Seattle, Tampa Bay, Salt Lake City and Madison Wisconsin.
Just a couple of things from someone who grew up on this sport: It's not a drop kick - a drop kick touches the ground before the boot makes contact with the ball and has been outlawed from the game because umpires were making erratic decisions between a legal kick and "dropping the ball" which has since been changed to "Incorrect disposal" (for the same reason that the ball must be "Handballed" and not thrown) - A typical passing kick is now called a drop punt and the ball must make contact with the foot before hitting the ground (if it does) ... the sport is too fast paced for a drop kick now anyway ... you'd likely get tackled mid kick and penalised for incorrect disposal anyway. legally) umpire The sport was originally invented to keep cricketers (a summer sport) fit during the winter months ... which is why it is designed to played on larger grounds. Obviously it developed into its own thing over time - Victoria's (state) Melbourne (Capital City) Cricket Ground (MCG) was the home of Australian Cricket and so the Victorian football clubs were really the first league made out of 10 teams at the peek ... South Australia and Western Australia followed and so also became traditional "Football States" as well as Tasmania and the Northern Territory ... they formed formed their own clubs and leagues as time went by - but players were always hopeful of graduating to "The Big League" The VFL (Victorian Football League)... Queensland and New South Wales are rugby states and they modified the traditional rugby game into what has become the NRL ... The AFL became a thing in the late 1980's as the VFL (Victorian Football League) looked to expand the completion into a national league ... one of the traditional Victorian based teams (South Melbourne) moved north into Sydney (NSW) and became the Sydney Swans ... new franchise teams were added or merged until we get to the current configuration of 9 Victorian based teams and 9 teams based in other states ...
AFL games are family orientated ,supporters can take their families to the games without fear of brawls...common to also sit next to supporters of the opposite team and not have the madness that happens at soccer matches
Another thing with afl we don tg stop start as much as a American football game so the game does basically until a goal is scored or it goes out of bounds but never stops for more than a minute until quarter time and half time when playing it's possible to run 7miles to 10 miles a game most afl players can play every other sport due to afl being so multi tasked
Fans get fucking hammered at games, and usually will be several punch-ups before/during/after the game - especially when catching the train back home. Great game, though.
AFL fans are boring as F, 100 thousands in a final and they still don't make enough noise, I've been to 3 grand finals and they don't even compare to a normal champions league, Europa league qualifyer. I can go to a Eastern European basketball game that has a better atmosphere
Bruh I have been to 2 Richmond Grand Finals (2017 and 2019) and the atmosphere was crazy at both. It was better in 2017 though because it was the drought breaker.
Was the best till avout 2005 it started getting ugly when paul roos sydney swans started yhe flooding style we see today resulting in no skill and no one can kick 50 meyers anymore... ley alone kick a goal... the scores are lame hence even more rule changes to ruin the sport
Aussie rules the code and sport has been around about 160 years. AFL has only been around 30 years - the VFL became the AFL in 1990. It's oldest club, Melbourne is 163 years old this year, the same official age as the code.
@@bluecedar7914 I couldn't remember how old it was but knew it was over 130years. Thanks for the heads up mate. I'm more a rugby league fan being that I'm a Queenslander.
As an Australian I love that our sport is getting some recognition internationally. Best spectator sport in the world. I suggest you guys watch a full game. The finals start in a few weeks. Finals footy is usually much more intense. Best time to start watching.
All those Aussie guys over there punting in the NFL have been trying to tell you guys for years that they never played rugby , at last message getting through
AFL is older than most sports. It was started to keep Cricket players fit during the off season. That is why the Field is massive. They use a cricket field for most games.
The NFL should try their game with just 22 players, given the small size of their playing surface maybe an on field team size of 15 players a side with rest on the bench. And give up that wacky idea of swapping out whole teams of players
@@KrustyVlogs you should definitely react to AFL’s best players like Patrick Dangerfield, Dustin Martin, Scott Pendlebury, Lance “Buddy” Franklin, Gary Ablett Snr and Jnr and more.
If you all want to make a good reaction video you should give yourselves one week to try to learn how to bounce a ball while running. Your NFL pigskin is a similar shape. You should all each record yourselves trying to learn for a week and then react to each other. I'd be seriously impressed if any of you are able to teach yourselves to run and bounce at close to full speed in a week. Whoever can do that would get plenty of respect from everyone down here.
"Its got running " players run 8/9 miles per game. The best recent effort was 11+ miles in a game. There are currently approx. 65 Aust. punters in US colleges and 4 in the NFL. 6 of the last 7 Ray Guy Award winners for the best punter in College Football, have been Aussies. AFL players can be any size the smallest in 5'6" and the current tallest is 6'11", and he is American, watch "Mason Cox - Don't Believe in Never" good short vid on his journey to AFL.. AFL is played non -stop for 4x20mins qtrs. plus time-on, so approx. 30 minutes each Qtr. That's why they are the fittest footballers in the world, all players have to have all the skills, kicking, handballing, tackling, marking, bouncing, Bumping, etc. as well as toughness & courage. "Bouncing it every 16 yards," as we use the metric system it is 15 metres (close enough to 16 yards), they don't measure it but most players judge it as about every 10 strides. The reason for the bounce is otherwise a very fast player could just take the ball and outrun everyone. Scoring - 20- 10 -130 is 20 goals x 6 points, plus 10 points x1 point = 130. Unlike soccer fans there are very few fights & fans are never segregated. Been going to the AFL most of my life I have seen very few fights among fans. If you have time watch the "Full Replay of the 2018 Grand Final" - one of the best games ever, even if my team lost.
Another awesome final is the GWS v Bulldog’s Prelim in 2016. Voted by Aussies as the second best final ever. With the 4th best played a week later. Another good game to watch. It was the 2016 Grand Final. But get on to the 2021 games. There are some good matchups. (And some blow outs).
they measure the 16 yards to bounce the ball as roughly 10 steps. It's not strictly enforced, but if a player has taken 15-20 steps without bouncing the ball, the umpire will blow the whistle & award a free kick to the other team. Some players will bounce the ball more frequently during a long run to avoid getting caught. But players will often get through a whole game without bouncing the ball because they're only taking a few steps before handpassing or kicking it to a team mate
“Sixteen yards” sounds so precise it’s misleading. The rule is 15m which implies there’s 2-3 meters give and take. The way American football works, every yard is fought for, while in Aussie Rules nobody would think it’s a strategic mistake to pass the ball backwards three meters to an open teammate. The “every yard counts” mindset has been ingrained into those players’ minds.
@@SonnyBubba that's right. The switch play is common in AFL, soccer, hockey, even basketball. Retreat backwards and pass the ball quickly crossfield to take advantage of weak defense on the other side
Something I haven’t seen mentioned... If you want to play AFL professionally, you have to be able to kick and handball both sides of the body. So, kick with both feet. Nearly every player has a preferred foot, but they can all kick very well on their ‘non-preferred’ side as well. You guys don’t want to play AFL. The *best* players might make AUD$5-$10 million over their career. If you want fame and fortune, stick to NFL. If you want to truly test your skills, speed, strength, endurance and toughness, in front of crowds, week in week out of 50k+, with finals crowds over 90k+, then maybe AFL is for you.
bullshit, how many times do you see someone not being able to kick or handball on their non preferred side, happens every game, only the elite, and that is why they are the elite can use both sides of the body. That is why you will see most players try and get to their preferred side
@@thebob3712 if you’re buddy franklin, you can get away with being super dominant on one side because your dominant side is that good. (He’s also good enough to shrug/evade tackles to get the time to wheel around). 90% of AFL players aren’t that good and wouldn’t get drafted if they can’t kick well with both feet.
Well, not all AFL players are built like basketballers. That was a slight exaggeration. There are many players under 6ft in the AFL. Most of the smaller guys are either fast midfielders used for their speed and agility; or they're small forwards, whose job it is to play the ball at ground level (crucial when your taller forwards are being outplayed in the air) and also to act as a 'crumber' - to lurk around a pack of taller players and scoop up the loose ball when it hits the deck (literally picking up the crumbs) and take off towards the goals with it. Bouncing the ball every 15 metres on the run is not exact obviously, but is usually around 10 strides, depending on the size of the player. You get penalized and lose possession of the ball if you run too far without bouncing. With hits (also called bumps), it is the same as tackles - should be between the shoulders and the knees and ideally with the side of your body - called a 'hip and shoulder'. Contact with the head is penalized harshly, often with suspension, especially if it is deemed that the head-high contact could have been avoided. Sometimes it is unavoidable, like if the ball is loose and instead of kicking it off the ground, the attacking player bends down to scoop it up - that puts their head at about hip-height with their opponent, and if said opponent is already launching themselves at them, they may not be able to stop in time... players get knocked unconscious this way. Concussions are not uncommon. I'm thrilled you're enjoying learning about this sport, it's the best sport in the world, as far as I'm concerned. The varying skills and athleticism required is incredible. Some midfielders run 10-15 kilometres each game and some of the forwards kick goals from incredibly tight angles, and incredible distances. Some can kick accurately from 60 metres. I hope you do check out some games this year, check out Mason Cox's story, he's an American who only took up the sport about 5 years ago but has been selected regularly to play in the senior squad by his team, the Collingwood Magpies. I'm not a fan of them, but credit where credit's due. He's done well to get to where he is for someone so inexperienced.
Gentlemen, welcome to the greatest sport in the world. I'm glad you watched the explanatory video. It is the opposite to every sport you know. The most athletic and skilled players from all nations, plus no protection like the NFL. Respect to all sports but this is hands down balls to the wall !!!!!
Most AFL games are able to hold around 50 to 100 thousand people. That is a lot of people for us. Basically every kid growing up plays footy at like age 12
If you guys want to go watch a live game or try it out there is an AFL league in America. www.usafl.com there might be a team or two near you guys. There isnt another sport like it in the world where each player has to be able to do everything i.e kick handball, mark, tackle, defend, attack, run etc.
White guy...get over yourself... always one... What is white what us black? They are colours of which ive never seen a white person nor a black person i see people. This linking colour to a person is where you are wrong. Too bad if a person is colourblind
Also love how they understand it a bit more now btw the football season starts in mid March and finishes late October so for u guys that would be spring to autumn
You know what else you guys are missing from AFL. The team songs. Yep. Every team has it's own song and as the league was founded in 1896 some of the songs are just brilliant. They've all got an upbeat pacey brass sound and they play the winning team song at the end of every match. My team the Sydney Swans has a banjo solo halfway through.
I love the way you guys present this programme. The only catch is that sometimes I don't understand some of the words you use. Still I love to hear your accent and your enthusiasm. Thank you for giving coverage to our Aussie game - footy!
AFL was originated from the Traditional owners off the land indigenous people. They use to play a game called "Marngrook" that included kicking and catching (Marking) the ball. The guy who invented AFL apparently used to spend time with the Local Aboriginals who use to play the game Marngrook that's where the word "Mark" Originates from The game Marngrook used to be shortin to "Mark" which was what had to be done in the game 🙂
Oh and my team the Melbourne Demons.. is one of the oldest sporting teams in the world established 1856.. and this year we sit top of the table 9 wins 0 losses.. go the mighty DEES!!!!
So if it hasnt been explained, This is how the scoring works (according to the example given in the video) Collingwood - 20 10 130 The 20 represents the goals (which is worth 6 points)... so 20 x 6 = 120 The 10 represents the points (which is worth 1 point) so 1 X 10 = 10 Add them both together and 120 + 10 = 130 (total Score) Repeat the process for Carlton's score. Hope that helps :)
As a minimum AFL players should be able to kick 50m (55yds) on their preferred foot and 40yards on the non preferred. On the run and from set shots. Some players can regularly kick 60 meters (66yds). Bear in mind that’s every player on the team.
Guys there are 18 men on the field for each team. There is no separate offensive and defensive team; depending on which way your team is kicking, the opposing side will be either attacking or defending and each player will play both roles according to the direction of play. No padding except for a mouth guard and spmetiles a soft head guard, which is usually used after a player has experienced a concussion, It is fast as

@@darrenpants2700 Good question. I wouldn't call them full size "grounds", as true AFL grounds would be on a cricket oval, and cricket isn't played in the US. Closest Cricket oval I've been to is in Vancouver, Canada. So most of the sides here will play on grounds with plenty of space, and obviously, the larger, the better.
We have 48 teams in the USAFL, with more than half of them having a women's comp as well. www.usafl.com

For those of you having difficulties with the Score Lines. The first number is Goals - 6points each and the second is Behinds - 1 point each so 20 10 130 is (20x6)+10=130 or 20 Goals and 10 Behinds for a final score of 130 points total. Just multiply the first number by 6 and add the second to get the 3rd
To be honest guys, they’ve taken some liberties with the size of the players. It’s true some of the taller players are up to 6’10” or so but most aren’t that tall. One of the best parts of footy is that you can be any size and play. There is a position for anyone.
Yeah but none of them are 290 😂
@@KrustyVlogs - true.. at 290 you wouldn't get a spot on an AFL team... too slow... every player on an AFL team is virtually a utility player these days.
@@KrustyVlogs very true. The size of the ground and the running involved means they’ve got to be slimmer than that. Although I’ve played community football with guys who were easily 290 and over. Safe to say they didn’t move much.

its a lot like basketball in that respect.. you dont want a 7ft 300lb point guard, but it would be fine for a center, and you have to consider the size of the field... how many 290 players could run 5-7 miles per game at speed
@@consciousbeing1188 i am not that slow though ;{
The scores are pretty simple
Collingwood 20 10 130
Carlton 18 12 120
The first numbers 20 and 18 are how many goals each team has gotten in the game,
The second numbers 10 and 12 are how many behinds each team has gotten in the game,
The last numbers 130 and 120 are what the final score is,
And remember a goal is worth 6 points and a behind is worth 1 point.
Hope this helped❤️
Btw Collingwood is the team I barrack for❤️❤️
We also have women who play afl
I've always thought college running backs who don't make the NFL would be perfect to tryout for the AFL. Fast ball carriers are exactly what the AFL looks for.
Love the reaction boys. Can we get more afl reactions? Start with the 2017 and 2018 afl grand final highlights :)
Watch the full game replay easier to understand after seeing one.
2018 in particular! 💙💛💙
great to see you guys reacting to AFL vids! the score which was shown on the video.. the first number represents goals (6 pts), the second number is points (or behinds) (1pt) and the last number was the total score :)
Australian football AFL was first played in 1858 in regional Victoria Australia and then professionally in 1898. AFL is actually older than both rugby and American football and older than basketball and soccer. But not as old as the Irish Gaelic football that AFL was formed out from.
Fact checking you. First AFL game played in 1856 between 2 schools in Melbourne. Gaelic football was formed in the early 1880's. Earliest codified football code in the world. Despite what soccer and RU people will tell you
Bouncing the ball - the rule is every 15 metres but they've "Americanised" the units for you, hence "16 yards". So you can run with it as far as you like as long as you bounce it to the ground every 15 metres. You can also bend down and touch it to the ground but that's pretty awkward when you're running. It's a bit like the "travel" rule in basketball. The penalty for exceeding 15 metres without touching it to the ground or passing it is a free kick to the opposition. Judging the distance is subjective and up to the umpires but the crowd will normally voice their opinion! if you're tackled while you're running with it, you have to attempt to dispose of it by passing. Otherwise you may be penalised for "holding the ball" and a free kick awarded to the opposition.
With the score, the first column is goals (6 points), the second column is "behinds" (1 point), and the 3rd column is the total points.
Those score lines in the vid aren't explained for you... The first number is the amount of goals scored, the second is the amount of behinds and the third is the total points scored.
The detail most Americans miss when looking at this is "4 on the bench". That's a team size of only 22 with 18 on the field. You can't expect to get a break, you play ALL game.
In NFL, you get 11 on the field, but a team of 46 to that can subbed in. That's a lot of people resting in an NFL game.
And, the game was adopted from our indigenous people. Europeans saw Aboriginal people playing their own form of the game roughly on the spot where the MCG now sits and adapted it to, eventually, become the sport it is now. Some of our best players are also Aboriginal people. It’s just another awesome part of their culture we’re lucky to share with.
The kick that scored a goal at the beginning was taken from roughly half-way. On the Melbourne Cricket Ground, where the finals are played, halfway is roughly 70 metres from the goalposts, so that kicker punted the ball almost 80 yards before it hit the ground, and that was under pressure, as he was kicking in play, rather than from a mark. Such kickers would be legends in the NFL, but they are relatively common within AFL
You’ve said it a couple of Krusty about Aussies becoming kickers or Punters. Darren Bennett played in the AFL from 1987-1993 before becoming a Punter for the San Diego Chargers, he was then named to the NFL 1990’s all decade team and into the Chargers Hall of Fame. My little knowledge of him but apparently he changed the way Punting is done. Ben Graham and Sav Rocco are also 2 AFL players that turned into successful NFL punters both becoming some of the oldest NFL rookies ever. Good call saying the Aussies and kick
Keep Watching the AFL - i hope you love it - and we (the fans of AFL) will watch you guys come out here and dominate in the future ( practice the skills )
The final score thing is 20 goals 10 behinds
With the part at 7:01where you see those scores the first number is the number of goals the second number is the number of behinds and the third number is the total number of points so take the top score for example a goal is 6 points so 20 X 6 is 120 and a behind is one point so 120 + 10 is 130
Score 20 10 130 is 20 goals worth 6 points each equals 120 points plus 10 points equals total 130 points score.
Watch best 50 goals and best 50 marks to blow your mind.
Best players. Buddy Franklin,Dusty Martin,Nic Natanui,Eddie Betts,Cyril Rioli.
The AFL Grand Final is such a big deal, in the home state of Victoria, it is a state Public Holiday.
"You ever been to a raiders game?.. You might die" hahahahah Love it
Haha it’s true
Far out guys, I was going to try to help you out but everybody has given you all the info on the game & rules that you require.
Enjoy😊
Thank you!
Hey, some NFL teams should consider adopting some AFL game play, especially kicking on the run, and kicking towards and through the goals with less reliance on passing. The ball so rarely gets kicked in US football
To be technical you don’t generally call the sport AFL because that’s the name/brand of the national competition it’s either Australian rules football or Aussie rules. If I was walking through Central Park and saw people playing gridiron I wouldn’t say look they’re playing NFL.
These footy players run an average of 17 to 18 kilometres (12 miles) per game
Hey guys, did you know AFL is a small but growing sport in the US. Check out USAFL for details. Apparently, there are over 1200 clubs in the US. To give you an idea the following towns and cities compete in the National League. Most of these clubs field competitive ladies teams too. There are 2 clubs in Phoenix and Minneapolis. One club in each of the following. Atlanta, Austin, Baltimore, Baton Rouge, Birmingham, Boston, Centennial Colorado, Chicago, Cleveland, Columbus Ohio, Dallas, Washinton DC, Denver, Des Moines, Fort Lauderdale, San Francisco, Honolulu, Jacksonville, Kansas City, Vegas baby, Little Rock, L.A, Portland Maine, Milwaukee, Nashville, NYC, Raleigh, Plano Texas, Cincinnati, Tulsa, Irvine California, Philadelphia, Portland Oregon, Rome Georgia, Richmond Virginia, Sacramento, St Louis, San Diego, Savannah Georgia, Seattle, Tampa Bay, Salt Lake City and Madison Wisconsin.
AFL was first played in 1858, it is the oldest football code in the world.
Okay, so I saw Basketball, Volleyball, American Football, Soccer, and then there's the jumping on people!
i just came from that reacting biggest hits for footy, pls keep these afl footy vids coming 🙏 they so good!
Just a couple of things from someone who grew up on this sport:
It's not a drop kick - a drop kick touches the ground before the boot makes contact with the ball and has been outlawed from the game because umpires were making erratic decisions between a legal kick and "dropping the ball" which has since been changed to "Incorrect disposal" (for the same reason that the ball must be "Handballed" and not thrown) - A typical passing kick is now called a drop punt and the ball must make contact with the foot before hitting the ground (if it does) ... the sport is too fast paced for a drop kick now anyway ... you'd likely get tackled mid kick and penalised for incorrect disposal anyway.
legally) umpire
The sport was originally invented to keep cricketers (a summer sport) fit during the winter months ... which is why it is designed to played on larger grounds. Obviously it developed into its own thing over time - Victoria's (state) Melbourne (Capital City) Cricket Ground (MCG) was the home of Australian Cricket and so the Victorian football clubs were really the first league made out of 10 teams at the peek ... South Australia and Western Australia followed and so also became traditional "Football States" as well as Tasmania and the Northern Territory ... they formed formed their own clubs and leagues as time went by - but players were always hopeful of graduating to "The Big League" The VFL (Victorian Football League)... Queensland and New South Wales are rugby states and they modified the traditional rugby game into what has become the NRL ... The AFL became a thing in the late 1980's as the VFL (Victorian Football League) looked to expand the completion into a national league ... one of the traditional Victorian based teams (South Melbourne) moved north into Sydney (NSW) and became the Sydney Swans ... new franchise teams were added or merged until we get to the current configuration of 9 Victorian based teams and 9 teams based in other states ...
AFL games are family orientated ,supporters can take their families to the games without fear of brawls...common to also sit next to supporters of the opposite team and not have the madness that happens at soccer matches
Dude in the middle at the back understands this sport. Other dudes just keep yappin
Now days it's nrl national Rugby League
The score you saw is broken down like this 20 x6 equals 120 plus 10 is 130...a goal is 6 points and behinds are 1 point
Another thing with afl we don tg stop start as much as a American football game so the game does basically until a goal is scored or it goes out of bounds but never stops for more than a minute until quarter time and half time when playing it's possible to run 7miles to 10 miles a game most afl players can play every other sport due to afl being so multi tasked
when it said
20 30 150
that means 20(x6) goals + 30(x1) behinds=150pts
AFL is one of the most important sports in Australia
I love it
Highest score 37 17 239 by geelong
Were all those sports you said were mixed in around in the 1850's?
AFL is a high impact, high speed game. These athletes are supreme and unrivalled. Proud Aussie here 🇦🇺❤️
Well done guys you just found a sport that has everything you can think of
You do realise it is older than NFL and basketball it has been played since 1858
You don't see AFL players all padded up like in Gridiron 🤭
Quite a few AFL players made it as punters in the NFL
Score 20 10 130 is 20 goals x 6pts each = 120pts plus 10 behinds worth 1pt each is 120 + 10 = 130pts
@5:25 "How can you measure it?". Well....sometimes we wonder :P
Fans get fucking hammered at games, and usually will be several punch-ups before/during/after the game - especially when catching the train back home. Great game, though.

Afl has been around over 130 years. The scoring showed 20 goals =120pnt ,+10 behinds=10pnt which is the total of 130points.
yep, AFL is older than NFL
Actually australian rules celebrated 150 years in 2008, its now 2021 so its 163 years old
Aussie rules the code and sport has been around about 160 years. AFL has only been around 30 years - the VFL became the AFL in 1990. It's oldest club, Melbourne is 163 years old this year, the same official age as the code.

nothing makes me happier than watching americans react to afl, something we all grew up playing
All those Aussie guys over there punting in the NFL have been trying to tell you guys for years that they never played rugby , at last message getting through
Yep, although Rugby League kickers are getting really good now too, though in AFL every player must be able to kick.
AFL is older than most sports. It was started to keep Cricket players fit during the off season. That is why the Field is massive. They use a cricket field for most games.
example the MCG is AFL’s biggest stadium and stands for Melbourne Cricket Ground
The NFL should try their game with just 22 players, given the small size of their playing surface maybe an on field team size of 15 players a side with rest on the bench. And give up that wacky idea of swapping out whole teams of players
First ytb being an Aussie I love that this sport is being recognized around the world
Respect i love the sport
@@KrustyVlogs you should definitely react to AFL’s best players like Patrick Dangerfield, Dustin Martin, Scott Pendlebury, Lance “Buddy” Franklin, Gary Ablett Snr and Jnr and more.
Go the crows!!
If you all want to make a good reaction video you should give yourselves one week to try to learn how to bounce a ball while running.
Your NFL pigskin is a similar shape. You should all each record yourselves trying to learn for a week and then react to each other.
I'd be seriously impressed if any of you are able to teach yourselves to run and bounce at close to full speed in a week. Whoever can do that would get plenty of respect from everyone down here.
"Its got running " players run 8/9 miles per game. The best recent effort was 11+ miles in a game.
There are currently approx. 65 Aust. punters in US colleges and 4 in the NFL. 6 of the last 7 Ray Guy Award winners for the best punter in College Football, have been Aussies.
AFL players can be any size the smallest in 5'6" and the current tallest is 6'11", and he is American, watch "Mason Cox - Don't Believe in Never" good short vid on his journey to AFL..
AFL is played non -stop for 4x20mins qtrs. plus time-on, so approx. 30 minutes each Qtr.
That's why they are the fittest footballers in the world, all players have to have all the skills, kicking, handballing, tackling, marking, bouncing, Bumping, etc. as well as toughness & courage.
"Bouncing it every 16 yards," as we use the metric system it is 15 metres (close enough to 16 yards), they don't measure it but most players judge it as about every 10 strides. The reason for the bounce is otherwise a very fast player could just take the ball and outrun everyone.
Scoring - 20- 10 -130 is 20 goals x 6 points, plus 10 points x1 point = 130.
Unlike soccer fans there are very few fights & fans are never segregated. Been going to the AFL most of my life I have seen very few fights among fans.
If you have time watch the "Full Replay of the 2018 Grand Final" - one of the best games ever, even if my team lost.

You guys need to go to Australia and go to an AFL match, it is insane
they measure the 16 yards to bounce the ball as roughly 10 steps. It's not strictly enforced, but if a player has taken 15-20 steps without bouncing the ball, the umpire will blow the whistle & award a free kick to the other team. Some players will bounce the ball more frequently during a long run to avoid getting caught. But players will often get through a whole game without bouncing the ball because they're only taking a few steps before handpassing or kicking it to a team mate
“Sixteen yards” sounds so precise it’s misleading. The rule is 15m which implies there’s 2-3 meters give and take.
The way American football works, every yard is fought for, while in Aussie Rules nobody would think it’s a strategic mistake to pass the ball backwards three meters to an open teammate.
The “every yard counts” mindset has been ingrained into those players’ minds.
@@SonnyBubba that's right. The switch play is common in AFL, soccer, hockey, even basketball. Retreat backwards and pass the ball quickly crossfield to take advantage of weak defense on the other side
Something I haven’t seen mentioned...
If you want to play AFL professionally, you have to be able to kick and handball both sides of the body. So, kick with both feet. Nearly every player has a preferred foot, but they can all kick very well on their ‘non-preferred’ side as well.
You guys don’t want to play AFL. The *best* players might make AUD$5-$10 million over their career. If you want fame and fortune, stick to NFL.
If you want to truly test your skills, speed, strength, endurance and toughness, in front of crowds, week in week out of 50k+, with finals crowds over 90k+, then maybe AFL is for you.
bullshit, how many times do you see someone not being able to kick or handball on their non preferred side, happens every game, only the elite, and that is why they are the elite can use both sides of the body. That is why you will see most players try and get to their preferred side
@@thebob3712 if you’re buddy franklin, you can get away with being super dominant on one side because your dominant side is that good. (He’s also good enough to shrug/evade tackles to get the time to wheel around). 90% of AFL players aren’t that good and wouldn’t get drafted if they can’t kick well with both feet.
Stoked to see the fellas starting to warm to AFL. Got to react to a live game this season legends
Well, not all AFL players are built like basketballers. That was a slight exaggeration. There are many players under 6ft in the AFL. Most of the smaller guys are either fast midfielders used for their speed and agility; or they're small forwards, whose job it is to play the ball at ground level (crucial when your taller forwards are being outplayed in the air) and also to act as a 'crumber' - to lurk around a pack of taller players and scoop up the loose ball when it hits the deck (literally picking up the crumbs) and take off towards the goals with it.
Bouncing the ball every 15 metres on the run is not exact obviously, but is usually around 10 strides, depending on the size of the player. You get penalized and lose possession of the ball if you run too far without bouncing.
With hits (also called bumps), it is the same as tackles - should be between the shoulders and the knees and ideally with the side of your body - called a 'hip and shoulder'. Contact with the head is penalized harshly, often with suspension, especially if it is deemed that the head-high contact could have been avoided. Sometimes it is unavoidable, like if the ball is loose and instead of kicking it off the ground, the attacking player bends down to scoop it up - that puts their head at about hip-height with their opponent, and if said opponent is already launching themselves at them, they may not be able to stop in time... players get knocked unconscious this way. Concussions are not uncommon.
I'm thrilled you're enjoying learning about this sport, it's the best sport in the world, as far as I'm concerned. The varying skills and athleticism required is incredible. Some midfielders run 10-15 kilometres each game and some of the forwards kick goals from incredibly tight angles, and incredible distances. Some can kick accurately from 60 metres. I hope you do check out some games this year, check out Mason Cox's story, he's an American who only took up the sport about 5 years ago but has been selected regularly to play in the senior squad by his team, the Collingwood Magpies. I'm not a fan of them, but credit where credit's due. He's done well to get to where he is for someone so inexperienced.
Gentlemen, welcome to the greatest sport in the world. I'm glad you watched the explanatory video. It is the opposite to every sport you know. The most athletic and skilled players from all nations, plus no protection like the NFL. Respect to all sports but this is hands down balls to the wall !!!!!
If you want to watch one of the best grand finals in recent years, have a look at the Collingwood vs West Coast Eagles 2018 grand final
Most AFL games are able to hold around 50 to 100 thousand people. That is a lot of people for us. Basically every kid growing up plays footy at like age 12

They've all got an upbeat pacey brass sound and they play the winning team song at the end of every match.
My team the Sydney Swans has a banjo solo halfway through.

AFL was originated from the Traditional owners off the land indigenous people. They use to play a game called "Marngrook" that included kicking and catching (Marking) the ball. The guy who invented AFL apparently used to spend time with the Local Aboriginals who use to play the game Marngrook that's where the word "Mark" Originates from The game Marngrook used to be shortin to "Mark" which was what had to be done in the game 🙂

Oh and my team the Melbourne Demons.. is one of the oldest sporting teams in the world established 1856.. and this year we sit top of the table 9 wins 0 losses.. go the mighty DEES!!!!
So if it hasnt been explained, This is how the scoring works (according to the example given in the video)
Collingwood - 20 10 130
The 20 represents the goals (which is worth 6 points)... so 20 x 6 = 120
The 10 represents the points (which is worth 1 point) so 1 X 10 = 10
Add them both together and 120 + 10 = 130 (total Score)
Repeat the process for Carlton's score.
Hope that helps :)

Guys there are 18 men on the field for each team. There is no separate offensive and defensive team; depending on which way your team is kicking, the opposing side will be either attacking or defending and each player will play both roles according to the direction of play.
