NepDaStep the mighty demons (Melbourne Demons). We haven’t won a flag for 54 years yet we still have one of the biggest supporter bases. Probably just behind richmond and equal with Collingwood
Expect most AFL players to be tough, also these guys are getting paid not nearly as much as let’s say someone NBA so they’re doing it all for the love of the game, as Australians we are brought up as kids watching and playing this sport. The physicality is much more intense than ufc on a average basis. These hits and tackles happen in most games. And the endurance and skill these athletes need can be some of the highest in any sport in the world. This is why it is the best sport in the world.
I can't believe you said just trip your opponent,Tripping your opponent in our game (AFL) is considered much worse than the bumps you just witnessed,I know it probably sounds weird to you but that's the way it is😊😊
This is what men grow up to be... When everyone doesn't get a trophy just for showing up...lol 😂😂😂 Instead we are creating a generation of weak whinny butts... in America.. After a hit like some of these... the hit player would be on twitter whining about getting hit...lol
its because we kick the ball constantly if we can trip then we can also dive shoulder first at someones legs because hip & shoulders are legal, if i were to shoulder charge just as someone kicked the ball i would snap their leg clean in half & most likely end their career its too dangerous
Since the Grand Final for this year is in 18 days, I recommend watching last years Grand Final. It was between the Adelaide Crows (wearing navy, red and yellow) and the Richmond Tigers (my team! wearing yellow and black). Adelaide were the favourites all year while no one thought Richmond would even make finals after finishing 13th (out of 18) in 2016.
@Loz Loz cause its a reaction video fool. And your a soccer fan your opinion counts for little and less on the matter. This guy picked up a gist pretty quickly i reckon he did pretty good with it
In AFL getting the ball isn’t your only goal. You are allowed to go for a person and crunch them if the ball is near to stop them from getting the ball. It isn’t considered dirty.
OMG I’m loving your reactions to these AFL hits! Can’t wait to watch the rest! (On a side note, my friend played on Saturday and accidentally gouged his eye while marking the ball! That was a cringing moment!)
If you're serious about getting into AFL, you might want to tune into the finals over the next three weeks. There are some interesting games comming up (Melbourne vs Hawthorne on Saturday should be pretty phsyical.) As much fun as each of these clips are, they don't hold a candle to following a whole game.
If you are at all interested in the game, there are only 5 games left in the season. All should be close, tough affairs and well worth a watch especially the Grand Final Saturday, 29 September 2:30 pm AEST (Fri night in the US)
thanks for the vids! your passion for our game makes my day, i just hope that you guys have access to it on tv over there. also my tip is than the big texan himself Mason Cox is a good chance to win the norm smith medal (MVP in the grand final.) the dude is a great player its just too bad he plays for collingwood (one of my rivals), peace
Half of these are legal hits and part of the action when everyone is running full sprint for the ball. The only illegal hits are high head hunting hits really, for the most part anyway.
Just so you know you are allowed to lower your shoulder (bump) anyone as long as they don't make contact above the head. With it being such a fast sport a lot of accidents do happen, me personally I have been knocked out, broke my hand and dislocated my shoulder. Such a fun sport to play!
The act of bumping is legal. Aslong as you dont make shoulder to head contact and within 5 meters of the ball its play on. Tripping is considered a bigger sin then bumping. Bumping is encouraged for the spectacle of it all and it often puts a player on the bench for a extended period of time if not permanently. Intentional tripping can get you a 1 week suspension and a free kick paid against
A lot of hitting in AFL is about intimidation. Guys will hit guys illegally and take the penalty so that the other team will have second thoughts about going for the ball next time.
Jonathon Warren-White I don’t know about you but when I play and someone hurts my teammates/friends it makes us all angry and a lot more aggressive towards the ball and the opposition. So instead of making us “scared” it’s more of a threat to us that we will not tolerate.
Today's footy is actually pretty civilised compared to 30 years ago, when behind the play hits were part and parcel of the game. I remember, as a 12 year old (around '80, '81), our coach preparing us for a junior footy final by getting us down to the club a day or so before the game to watch a video called "Footbrawl" which was just video highlights the biggest, nastiest punches, shirtfronts, elbows, fights etc from the VFL during the 70s. Not sure that would go down all that well with administrators, parents, or indeed anyone these days.
Shoulder to shoulder tackle is ok but some players will put there head down lower so when they hit one will hit the others head & the reason for this is to try to get a free kick out of it.
The first one you watched where he jumped and knocked him out, the guy got 5 weeks suspension. You should see one from earlier this year between Harris Andrews and Jeremy Cameron, Cameron elbowed Andrews in the back of the head and caused a brain bleed and only got 5 weeks
Sounds like a good idea! Some can look pretty bad though! I remember a few years ago, first game of the season, within the first 5 minutes a player had broken his leg in a tackle!
Mate, like your style (watched a few of your vid's) & you seem to have a good feel for the game & appreciate it. I've watched many vid's of American reaction vid's & yours are the best. Throw out the Kitchen Sink I say. lol AFL is religion here , OZ is a very secular society. Most parties you go to, the first question you get is "So what do you do?". Here it's either that or at worst, second question "so who do you support?" Keep rockin on mate!!!
Am I the only one who's pressed about him saying all this stuff about uncalled for side bumps and tackles, yeah some of the are illegal but if you've ever played the game you'll now that after you get a wrap around them your body and momentum do the rest, yeah sometimes the tackles are rough but that's how it is, that's the game.
Subbed - also, can you review here comes the boom (Afl's biggest hits)? It's a sick montage of all of the dirtiest bumps in the afl. You can also if u want review some of the afl finals games going on. The grand final is in 3 weeks
Love a good hip and shoulder!!!.... And a well timed shirt front is very effective !!!.... Tripping is a super low dog act...that's just dirty !!!.... Like chicken wing Chris Judd !!!
When you have been playing AFL from a young age over time you build an endurance to the types of injuries you get on field which is why a lot of players can take so much damage and get right back up. Thats not me saying they are week or that i could take those hits but they are ready for this every minute of every game
This is a mix of legal, on field free kick infringement and 4 match suspensions. In AFL it is legal to body check (called a 'shepherd") any opposing player within 5m (5.5 yards) from the ball but if you hit your opponent's head it may be deemed illegal. The preferred method is run at your opponent hip/shoulder to hip/shoulder to keep him away from the ball - some of the heavy hits on the video are perfectly legal. Heavy contact during marking contests (catching the ball) are pretty much a "free for all" and most injuries resulting are deeming incidental contact providing a player makes a reasonable effort to go at the ball, not the person.
Fun fact: when you see the guys laying on the ground with their arms tensed that’s concussion, your not fully unconscious but close. Everything is black and you can hear everything and your trying to move but you can’t. I bin there a few times 😆
jsut letting you know NepDaStep there is times where you dont have to go for the ball its called a shepherd. but there are times you have to go for the ball or risk being penalised
We have Aussie kids that play this sport, I play AFL aswell. West Coast Eagles forever!!!!🦅💙💛🏉 P.s. I just subscribed to you!!!! Keep up the awesome work mate!!!!
Watch Melbourne V Hawthorn semi-final that was played on Friday night. Melbourne haven’t made a finals appearance since 2006, so when we made it this year it was very exciting. We played Geelong last week which was also a great game. Check it out!
It would be good if you could see the follow ups from the incident. That is , what the AFL Tribunal decides, whether players have been found guilty and either be fined or suspended from playing for, say, 2 weeks.
Some of those look bad, but ya gotta remember that if they go for the ball and see another player running full speed towards them, they’ll sure as hell wanna protect their head by putting out the arm or leaning in with their shoulder, to protect themselves first and foremost.
Guy only just gets into footy, guy immediately thinks Steven May is a nob. Also with regards to 6:40 and sly things. That's a a no-go within the culture of the game and you'd get fucked up by opponents for being dirty.
I’ll be honest with you, most of the bumps are pretty ruthless and most of them got reported, you could say it’s bad sportsmanship but for the fans it’s exciting
I love when he says that he wasn’t even going for the ball it just cracks me up because they just ran into each other 2:41 P.S maybe learn the game a little more before you make a video on our sport.
Most of those were legal, there’s nothing wrong with a hip and shoulder to prevent an opponent getting the ball, it’s when you raise your elbow that makes it illegal. Yes, some of those did include raised elbows, but most of those were basic hip and shoulder bumps. Part of the game.
Also just watched the video and I think you should watch what is afl, cause it seems like u don't know the game fully - u are allowed to bump, just not above the shoulders or below the knees.
I play AFL there is a lot of bumping, push and shove. Put your head down and dive at the footy it all depends on who wants the ball more. Dont think just do, let your actions talk and win the footy.
Who do you think will win the Grand Final this year guys?!
NepDaStep Richmond but I am hoping Melbourne
will burchill couldn’t agree more
NepDaStep easily West coast I have funny feeling Richmond will choke against Collingwood
NepDaStep the mighty demons (Melbourne Demons). We haven’t won a flag for 54 years yet we still have one of the biggest supporter bases. Probably just behind richmond and equal with Collingwood
NepDaStep cmon the eagles

I respect that
Massive Unit Footy is da best
I can't believe you said just trip your opponent,Tripping your opponent in our game (AFL) is considered much worse than the bumps you just witnessed,I know it probably sounds weird to you but that's the way it is😊😊
Yeah very true
Neville Seedsman very much agreed and I don’t think he know you can get report even when the games over and the tribunal see it behind play
Right you are my friend. Mitch, Cairns AUS.
This is what men grow up to be...
When everyone doesn't get a trophy just for showing up...lol
😂😂😂
Instead we are creating a generation of weak whinny butts...
in America..
After a hit like some of these...
the hit player would be on twitter whining about getting hit...lol
Hey mate the hip and shoulder is legal :)
Thanks for clearing that up for me 👍
As long as you don't hit them in the head that is. Players are getting suspended for it.
Who else came here after watching the Eagles win the 2018 premiership? Super sUPER proud of my WA boys for bringing it back home!!
I go for the Melbourne Demons
💙💛💙💛
Can’t trip in afl dude, you’ll get a 2-4 week holiday.
its because we kick the ball constantly if we can trip then we can also dive shoulder first at someones legs because hip & shoulders are legal, if i were to shoulder charge just as someone kicked the ball i would snap their leg clean in half & most likely end their career its too dangerous
It ain’t gonna be a good holiday either, holiday to hell
“The fans are great”
Well you’ve obviously never met a Collingwood supporter 🤢
Just ROFL and +1
A+
Lily Vaughan carn the pies
Eagles supporters are just as bad
Ben Carpenter
I’m a bombers supporter hehe Carn the dons :)
It really doesn’t matter if a teammate hits another teammate they just get up afterwards and have a beer no matter how the game went 😂
I figured they would all be friends off the field lol
Since the Grand Final for this year is in 18 days, I recommend watching last years Grand Final.

Adelaide were the favourites all year while no one thought Richmond would even make finals after finishing 13th (out of 18) in 2016.
That game was a blowout though, should watch the 2016 Grand Final as it was exciting the whole way.
yeah I agree the 2016 grand final was much more interesting.
Should check Mason Cox from Collingwood. Ex College basketballer from the states
I know about him!
@Loz Loz cause its a reaction video fool. And your a soccer fan your opinion counts for little and less on the matter. This guy picked up a gist pretty quickly i reckon he did pretty good with it
cox is overrated... #collingwoodfan
devilman man Not very overrated today ⚫️⚪️⚫️⚪️
@@jacoblong633 fuck i hate myself for douting him 😂😂😂

Good Video as always bro!! You seem to be enjoying AFL quite a lot man.. :P :)
Thanks bro!!:) AFL is awesome and it’s helping me grow my audience👍
Yeah man... clearly I can see that. This video must be your most popular one yet!!
If you're serious about getting into AFL, you might want to tune into the finals over the next three weeks. There are some interesting games comming up (Melbourne vs Hawthorne on Saturday should be pretty phsyical.) As much fun as each of these clips are, they don't hold a candle to following a whole game.
I’ll be sure to watch a few !!
Thanks for letting me know 🇦🇺❤️
they would be really early in the morning for you though
If you are at all interested in the game, there are only 5 games left in the season. All should be close, tough affairs and well worth a watch especially the Grand Final Saturday, 29 September 2:30 pm AEST (Fri night in the US)
I plan on watching a couple!
What'd you think the hardest hit was??
who tall r you
The busted nose.
Lance "Buddy" Franklin is a beast (Number 23 for Sydney). Future Hall of Fame player! Look him up 👌
Two heads knocking😩 together or the one head body-slammed against the goal post😵
I’m 6’10” tall bro
as an Australian, it's cool to see others outside of Australia really appreciate AFL
One of the AFL coaches once said 'in AFL football sometimes your the bug sometimes your the windscreen' this video captures that perfectly.
thanks for the vids! your passion for our game makes my day, i just hope that you guys have access to it on tv over there. also my tip is than the big texan himself Mason Cox is a good chance to win the norm smith medal (MVP in the grand final.) the dude is a great player its just too bad he plays for collingwood (one of my rivals), peace

I sub and your videos r really good 👍
Thanks homie❤️💯welcome to the Fam
It like subway with the amount of sandwiches they making on the field
That’s a very good description Lmao
Cool video bro. What program do you use to make a reaction video. (software wise) From Australia.
I like these AFL vids.
Me too🔥🇦🇺🔥
Go the dogs 2016 premiers and probably the least aggressive
Hey man have you picked up a footy yet and had a kick?
not yet bro, got to get one soon!
Just so you know you are allowed to lower your shoulder (bump) anyone as long as they don't make contact above the head. With it being such a fast sport a lot of accidents do happen, me personally I have been knocked out, broke my hand and dislocated my shoulder. Such a fun sport to play!

Thanks fam💯👌🏽
many of these "bumps" are 100% legal.
Watch the afl explaining video it’s called : what is afl? (Aussie rules explained)
I reacted to the Aussie Rules explained video already bro
This week I’m playing in the grand final in my league I’m only 14 but we still do some hard hits
Best of luck to you bro! Hopefully I can react to you when you’re in the league🤙🏽🇦🇺

Hey mate if you want to see the worst leg injury look up Nathen Brown broken leg
Matthew Peck that’s brutal
Half of those where legal
This guy is so awesome!! It's so strange seeing someone from overseas get into our game.
Shoulder to shoulder tackle is ok but some players will put there head down lower so when they hit one will hit the others head & the reason for this is to try to get a free kick out of it.

geez that's rough lol I was thinking of doing an injuries reaction video
Sounds like a good idea! Some can look pretty bad though! I remember a few years ago, first game of the season, within the first 5 minutes a player had broken his leg in a tackle!
also i love the videos
Brody Gray thanks bro🤙🏽!!
That first hot that you showed, the one that was uncalled for. I remember that game. The croud just started booing that dude for the rest of the game
Nice vid.
paul jarvis thanks bro🤙🏽
Mate, like your style (watched a few of your vid's) & you seem to have a good feel for the game & appreciate it.

Simon Mills thanks for the support my friend ❤️
I started playing this when I was 6, and as far as im concerned the first bump was a perfect shirtfront
since 6?! damn bro you must be nice
Am I the only one who's pressed about him saying all this stuff about uncalled for side bumps and tackles, yeah some of the are illegal but if you've ever played the game you'll now that after you get a wrap around them your body and momentum do the rest, yeah sometimes the tackles are rough but that's how it is, that's the game.

The dirty ones are brutal dog’s acts
That’s what we Aussies call it.
4:38 the german suplex looking tackle i has at that game. was even more brutal live!
You only have to be within 5 meters of the ball to get hit or 'bumped' as we say.. Its alot different to NFL
BigCone thanks for clearing that up for me
Love a good hip and shoulder!!!.... And a well timed shirt front is very effective !!!.... Tripping is a super low dog act...that's just dirty !!!.... Like chicken wing Chris Judd !!!
😂chicken wing legend man
2:42 this is what call defending ur team and u brushing off the pain
There is no disrespect in knocking someone taking a mark😂😂

That’s what we do in Australia
Fun fact: when you see the guys laying on the ground with their arms tensed that’s concussion, your not fully unconscious but close. Everything is black and you can hear everything and your trying to move but you can’t. I bin there a few times 😆
Alot of those bumps and stuff happened in the marking contest there was a few dirty ones though.
jsut letting you know NepDaStep there is times where you dont have to go for the ball its called a shepherd. but there are times you have to go for the ball or risk being penalised
Do a reaction on some older AFL fights and hits they hit each other for know reason its so good to watch!!
Hey great video!
I recommend watching some of the best AFL marks and goals because it gives you a better understanding of the game.
Cheers
We have Aussie kids that play this sport, I play AFL aswell. West Coast Eagles forever!!!!🦅💙💛🏉
P.s. I just subscribed to you!!!! Keep up the awesome work mate!!!!
as an aussie i lave hearing americans say how good our sport is
Watch Melbourne V Hawthorn semi-final that was played on Friday night. Melbourne haven’t made a finals appearance since 2006, so when we made it this year it was very exciting. We played Geelong last week which was also a great game. Check it out!

Clips 1,2 and 3 are because they are Gold Coast and Brisbane who are pretty close to each other
Thanks for sharing bro
I messed around and watched Gaelic football which is entertaining too
I’ll check it out bro
you should definitely react to "Best & Worst Hits, Bumps & Fights AFL 2016" you'll like it
Some of those look bad, but ya gotta remember that if they go for the ball and see another player running full speed towards them, they’ll sure as hell wanna protect their head by putting out the arm or leaning in with their shoulder, to protect themselves first and foremost.
that's true man
or woman lol
Woman but that's fine it's a common mistake (it really isn't)
That hit from Steven may I loved it
Guy only just gets into footy, guy immediately thinks Steven May is a nob. Also with regards to 6:40 and sly things. That's a a no-go within the culture of the game and you'd get fucked up by opponents for being dirty.
I love how most of these are legal and won’t be called but holding the ball is
I guess these are all part of the game it’s awesome
I play under tens and I broke someone’s rist and spent hours in hospital
Savage
What team do u go for
I haven’t picked yet. I was going to randomly select a team in one of my next videos
NepDaStep go for the lions
And can I have a shoutout
34 was a good hit at the end. No free kick, play on.
I’ll be honest with you, most of the bumps are pretty ruthless and most of them got reported, you could say it’s bad sportsmanship but for the fans it’s exciting
I love when he says that he wasn’t even going for the ball it just cracks me up because they just ran into each other
2:41
P.S maybe learn the game a little more before you make a video on our sport.
3:21 , I was there
When it comes to supporting teams, you either love or hate collingwood
Most of those were legal, there’s nothing wrong with a hip and shoulder to prevent an opponent getting the ball, it’s when you raise your elbow that makes it illegal. Yes, some of those did include raised elbows, but most of those were basic hip and shoulder bumps. Part of the game.
Should react to buddy franklin, absolute beast
great idea! Thanks for watching!
NepDaStep cant wait!
HAHAHAhahahhahaaha We were born to fight on the field, its their hearts that make them get back up, NO KNEELING HERE HUN.!
You got a team that you like yet?
Not yet, I was going to randomly select one next video
Essendon!
Hey brother live your afl reaction vids, you should Deffinatly check out Mark of the year compilation or longest goals!!
Love from Australia!!
The first 3 were all steven may lol
Dudes a savage
hip and shoulder bumps are legal in APL
Also just watched the video and I think you should watch what is afl, cause it seems like u don't know the game fully - u are allowed to bump, just not above the shoulders or below the knees.
Tripping is probably the 2nd worse crime.
Just behind kicking.
The clash was accidental where the player was ko'd ..
Oh ok
Yo bro have a look at Luke Shuey's highlights 2018, he's a great player.
It’s courage and it’s praised going for some of this
The semi finals are Saturday
I’ll have to watch!
Just a friendly game of footy mate hehe.
Definitely haha!
oi bro i suggest you watch best tackles in afl, there insane man. ull woody on there, chase kids down like a eagle at its pray
Collingwood supporter since day one🖤🤍🖤🤍☝🏻🙏🏻
7:12 was a fair hit, but it was still a hard one
An extremely hard hit bro lol
na Collingwood fan since 03
I play AFL there is a lot of bumping, push and shove. Put your head down and dive at the footy it all depends on who wants the ball more. Dont think just do, let your actions talk and win the footy.
Richmond will win but I hope demons do they haven't been in the finals for a while
