I'm an American fan of the Geelong Cats. What this video doesn't show is the loose ball scrambles. A loose ball in the NFL means someone screwed up, but a loose ball is a common part of the game in the AFL, and very exciting.
I also am a Geelong supporter! True we just missed this year's Finals after winning the Premiership last year, but we will be back soon! 🍻💪🏉
no Go the blues!!!
@@Bl3sF4n4eva90 Actually, now that the Cats are out, I'm cheering for the Blues. That was a great win versus the Dees.
Up the cats!
Well said!
I lived in SE Asia for eight years. The Australia Network TV channel would broadcast AFL games on weekends. I had an American workmate who was absolutely addicted to AFL.
There are AFL clubs in the USA
I'm a true blue Aussie who's played footy/ AFL most of my life.
It's Soo awesome to see the Americans and the rest of the world enjoyed our great game .
Much love from down under 🦘
Great reaction - you need to come here to experience the ROAR of the crowd. Nothing like 70-100,000 people in the crowd EVERY WEEKEND. It’s awesome.
Great reaction mate, you didn’t talk through it, you listened. Bounce is badly explained, You have to bounce it sometime “before” running 15 m. Players know if they take a few steps then bounce it will be before 15 m.
Score of 120-10-130 means 20 goals x six points each equals 120 points, +10 behinds = 130 total points. (Which decides the game.)
One of the most famous final quarters in AFL history is the 2005 semi-final between Sydney and Geelong. You can search for the final five minutes of that if you want to react to it. It is a super exciting finish.
If you want to watch a fantastic whole game where the lead kept changing constantly search for the 2012 grand final between Sydney and Hawthorn.
You can play the game yourself if you like. In the states there is the USAFL, comprised of 40 different leagues, including the women’s league. Because it’s amateur it’s nowhere near as brutal as our game, and it’s more of a social event for people to play and have barbecues and beers after the game.
Other American people reacting have managed to find televised games as they happen live. Obviously a time difference but you can check that out if you want
You will be blown away if you check out, “Lance Franklin’s best 23 goals.” Trust me, you will be in awe of this man.
Cheers.
I think I was the only one who red this and comented
@@Neko36092 I even forgot I wrote it.
Also, the stripes on the grass are typically 12 metres wide, so you can kind of use that as a reference to eyeball it if a player has run too far.
The Fox Sports secondary channels tend to carry the sport here in the US, in my experience. They are live, though, so the time zone situation means you're probably gonna be better off DVRing them if you don't wanna risk your sleep schedule.
This guy knows how to do a reaction video. Has the main video full screen. Salvation . Cheers bud
In Australian terms you have to bounce the ball within 15 meters.
It is not every 15 meters, it is within.
So once you run the full yards without bouncing the opposition gets a free quick.
more like a free kick
The rule is you must bounce at least once every 15m. So yes, as long as you don't further than 15m without bouncing you're fine. Most adult players will bounce the ball every 9-12 steps at a full run.
Kids between 10-15 probabaly more like 15
Americans love.
Top 50 marks of all time
Best marks of the decade
by AFL is also good.
Also top AFL top 50 goals and afl hardest hits videos
Bouncing the ball is just a rule to give a defender a chance of catching a ball carrier on a fast break , a basic rule of thumb is 10 steps is about 15 metres or 16 yards
Also it distinguishes itself from rugby and adds another skill, otherwise it would look like rugby
15 steps*
but it's gotten even more lenient lately
@leopoldstotch7711 10 steps.. 1 metre is generally 1 step at walking pace, but at jogging to sprinting pace each stride is about 1.5m for the average person, making it about 10 steps
@@leopoldstotch7711 unless you're playing Carlton, just ask Jayden Stephenson.
As one brought up on Soccer, I love this game - as well as soccer and Rugby League of course.
One of the best rules in AFL is the 50 metre penalty, applied if a player kicks the ball away or otherwise deliberately tries to delay the taking of a free kick. This means the free kick is taken 50 meters down the oval - sometimes right in front of the goal!!
It's certainly a rule that I'd love to see taken up by soccer - modified to 10 metres.
And I like the method of timekeeping, which is governed completely separately from the ref/umpire, and the clock is stopped the second the ball is out of play and not restarted until it's back in play again.
And AFL could do with the adoption of soccer's yellow and red cards.
The AFL has club salary caps and gives better draft picks to the weaker teams to help even out the competition..it's good because there are more close matches these days.Also new rules have come in recently to make the play more free flowing and high scoring & has worked quite well
Nice reaction!! Watching these footballers take a speccie (spectacular mark) made you sit up and take notice. If you want to see more check out 'best of the decade' or Top 50 AFL Marks of all time'
I think we’ve found the perfect reaction youtuber.
1. Gets straight into it and doesn’t waste time.
2. Doesn’t pause the video every 10 seconds.
3. Listens and leaves most of his comments for the end.
Generally when trying to keep track of when you need to bounce it you count steps instead of trying to guess how many yards
Ahhh, one of my favourite things to watch on TH-cam.
Americans reacting to AFL. It’s hilarious seeing people so shocked about something that’s so normal in your country.
Watch the latest match Adelaide vs Hawthorn, played yesterday, was exciting and a tough fight for the match. Adelaide won by 3 points after a lucky goal in the last 2 minutes
It is worth considering that the central umpires and boundary umpires are the only officials in any form of football anywhere in the world who are required to have specific ball skills; centre bounce and boundary throw-in.
They also have to be able to run backwards so that they keep their eyes on the ball
One thing that these videos don't mention is that when you use another player to catch a ball (a mark) is that you aren't allowed to use your hands to get on them.
It is a high paced game and some players can run up to 25km during a game and they only have 4 on the interchange.
Some afl players are known to kick up 70 metres or over 200 feet or 75% of an nfl field
Check out "Mason Cox don't believe in Never" his an American dude from Texas playing in the AFL. Its about his journey from America to Australia and the first few years of his AFL career.
Boring, he's terrible
he's trash tho
@@justmr9553 fax aha he's a flog
LMAO the Mason Cox circle jerk is an embarrassment to the game. The bloke is an F grade player.
Cox is a legend. Great ambassador fot the sport.
Hey. If you want to check out some big hits, watch "Byron Pickett here comes the boom." He is retired now. He is one of the reasons AFL had to change how you tackle someone, to protect the other player. Enjoy.
“Marks” are crazy bro. Do marks This is a sport that I would probably watch
There must be at least the same number….or more…..watching at home. Grand final parties are a huge thing here too.❤
A lot of people wonder about the 16 yards/15 meters. It is just "gut feel", from watching/umpiring a lot of matches.
assume this will get suggested enough, the top 50 afl marks. A mark being a catch, same thing.
I call it they Australian it.
"Yeah that's about 15 I reckon"
They have lines cut into the grass that are 15 metres to help them also
It becomes second nature after a while. You sort of get a feel for what 15m is. But to play it safe you’d probably bounce it every 10 or so metres to not run too far and turn the ball over with a free kick.
@@themoviehobbit355 they do not
@@harrykatsaros yeah, there’s sort of a ‘safe rhythm’ of perhaps 8 long strides, bounce, 8 long strides, etc. and then when a player stretches that to 14-15 strides, you can actually feel the stadium collective clench in anticipation of the whistle as the player either finally bounces/kicks, or the whistle does blow
Slick as mate. 20% more animated and you're gold. More afl please.
I love the footy I'm an Aussie😂
Good honest reaction. Great presentation quality.
how do all? i grew up in n.z. playing rugby and league. came to aussie when 18 to surprise sister for her 21st, [ nursing in sydney ]. got offered work. met a girl from tas and moved there. only a.f.l. on telly. in '85 liked geelong cats so now have 3 codes to watch, including north queensland cowboys n.r.l. and canterbury crusaders in the international super rugby. so close to having 3 football codes premiers this year. the cows finishing 3rd on the ladder of 16 teams. and the party continues. cheers for the interest. taztez.
Jesaulenko!!!
One of the greatest marks taken in footy history in probably the greatest comeback ever in front of 121,000 people at the MCG in the 1970 Grand Final!
Go Blues!
Think you'll love Top 50 Marks all time
To really know this game and understand the complexity of skills required you need to get a AFL ball and attempt bouncing kicking and just picking it up on the run.
It's very hard game to master, I know I represented my State of Western Australia on occasions.
I hardly watch the NFL anymore but never miss a saints game, Best part of marrying an Australian was learning this sport existed.
Great presentation man, thank the Lord you'all didn't cover the action with a big shot of your head.
Cheers, 😜🤙🇦🇺
🤗This game was developed 👍over 100 year’s ago,🤞to keep cricket players fit 🙏in the offseason.🤗So has always been played 👍on a cricket oval.🥰Our stadium’s have a double use,🇦🇺Aussie Rules in winter,👍Cricket in summer!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Pretty sure the Aboriginals who invented the game the football was developed from weren't thinking about keeping Cricket players fit and also pretty sure Cricket players don't have that level of fitness .
Nice reaction, mate. Check out some of the spectacular 'marks'.
You in the USA have a local league called the USAFL get yourself to your local games maybe give it a go yourself. AFL is played by both genders and all ages its older than your NFL and I think Americans would just eat the game up if they where exposed to it more its got high scoring its fast moving and has some hard hits what's not to like. Lastly come on down under and see a game first hand there is nothing like being in a big crowed and feeling the thrill of the game.
Basically all sports rolled into one lol. Insane sport. Awesome to watch though.
No. Not really. It was first played in 1858 and the rules were codified in 1859 so, it pre-dates most other sports.
@Shnordy learn something new every day! first representation of football is from the 1600s! Plus rugby was way earlier than 1800, hockey early 1800 i believe! Youll find a fair few sports predate AF, alot was formed/created in the 1800!. My comment was based more of an observation pov rather than knowledgeable of that sport
@@alienj272 All good mate.👍 The 2023 season starts March 16th.
I believe there are plenty of options to watch in the USA.
I, for one, can't wait.
Go Carlton Blues!!!
It's best to compare it to Gaelic football, although I see what you mean there are elements from other sports, but still a unique game too.
This was a good video to explain the basic but didn’t explain any free kicks or the penalty rules
Watch Eddie Betts to see a small (5ft 7 or 8 ins) forward whose ball skills are great to watch
If any Americans have any questions about AFL, I'm a goal umpire with 27 years experience.
In AFL ( Australian football league)It's called a screama( screamer) when you jump up on someone's shoulders to take a mark .. women also play ... WAFL...AFL players can run up to 18klms about (10 miles) a game ..you got to be superfit ...a normal training night 10 x 400 meters then 10 x 50 meter sprints then circle passing kicking hand passing 200 meter circle then Indian file 20 players joging last one has to sprint past all to get to front then he leads about 30 minutes of this ..non stop..then one on one chase down 50 meter kick against your opponent fighting tackling to get ball back to kicker and lots more drills can be 3 hours of intensive training ...2x per week + match ..so you have probally ran 50klms that week half at full speed... sometimes a run down the roads would be ten klms at training .
Do a reaction to the 2023 Grand Final which was last weekend, best final ever. American Mason Cox from Texas kicked a crucial goal.
The '16 yards per bounce' rule is measured typically by gauging it. Its not like NFL where the chains woud come out and they'd stop play to say "did he go 17 yards or was it 15?". Its all done by eye really and steps. Its an average and all players, umpires and even fans get a feel for when someone is running past that mark.
AFL is the greatest game on the planet
For the Yanks, 16 yards is the maximum you can run with the ball before you need to bounce it
There is a league in the USA - has about 12 teams I think - it’s called US AFL
Hey Flex, Go Pies.
How do you know you've run 16 yards ? ... You mark out 16 yards on the ground then count the steps you take to get to the end. You get a run up to hit the pace by the time you get to the first mark though.
The umpires would know how many paces it takes and count the players paces to penalise them by giving the ball to the opposing team if they take a couple too many paces.
You gots to check out CHOPPY!! Byron Pickett last of AFLs "sit down" thugs and a PAFC legend 🍐🍐🍐
Check out great marks. This is the guys jumping and catching the ball ontop of their shoulders.
That’s good ol footy right there
Just check out the 2016 Grand final the best fairytale game of football 🏈 I have ever seen
Check out AFL enforcers
When you grow up playing it you know when you should bounce the ball
No more than half an NFL team could play Aussie. No O or D interior linemen would be fit enough to play 80 mins of more or less continuous action.
99,% is post 2000, all the best games , apart from 2 or 3 , are pre 2000, have a watch of the 1970Grand Final, , 121,696 people can't all be wrong , it a remarkable game , it has the crowd , the atmosphere,and the amazing comeback , when all seems lost , What a team can do when they want it bad enough, it's got , what AFL is , all in 120 minutes , this is one grioping game , and so is the sport,constantly evolving, why it's so good , stays relevant , GO BLUES RARARA
What happened to our man flex. It's been two years since his last video?
Go Pies !!!!!!
The most electric sport on the planet when played the right way...if it was invented in the northern hemisphere it'd be the biggest too
They use yards to explain this to American audience. Here it is actually 15 metres.
The metric system is so basic you can actually sense when they have over done it, give or take a metre.
If someone does something spectacular or brave, they will tend to give an extra metre or two. If you are flat footed or under no pressure, you will sometimes see they get penalised just before said distance. Sounds crazy, but it’s what makes the crowds electric. Constant shouting and yelling at eachother over who had the greatest injustice.
Good comparison is how the travel rule in the NBA seems pretty loose since the end of the 90’s. Interpretations change, same for the NFL :) frustrating in the case of the NBA. Makes it harder to claim GOAT.
Keep it keeping it real brother.
Really cool reactions.
If you do a marks (catches) video, definitely do “Best of the Decade AFL Marks 2010s” it’s much better than the “All time AFL Marks” video. The quality is bad and the marks aren’t all the best.
Hope you eventually check out “AFL Biggest Hits Part 1” it’s got far harder hits than the best of the decade video you saw (all those hits were legal)
Just saying, 130 - 120, like it said in there is very high scoring, the normal is like 70-90 as a winning side, losing side might be like 60, for average that is.
you're amazed by players using other players as a step ladder.....look at best marks ever
Shaun Smith leapt onto an opponents shoulders
A "mark" is NOT a "spectacular catch" - it is a catch from a kick launched no less t5 metres (about 16 yards) awat - most marks are quite mundane really!
Top 50 marks
Longest kicks
Hardest hits
Eagles vs swans rivalry
I like your production brother. 10x most reviewer's screen set-up.
PS. An old school yell from the crowd to the umpire when a goal is scored is... "How big' s ya dick" (And he points the 2 fingers).
PS. The sport actually kinda comes from a traditional aboriginal game 1,000's of years old called MANROOK.
I’m a footy nerd
Seriously mate it’s the best game
you dnt really know when you've gone 16 yards yu just gotta remember every 5-10 strides
you just know when you run 15m
HOT PIES 2023
Please react to AFL Biggest Hits Part 1
Now, I'm lucky, on my travels I've been to a few different sports, took in a Raiders Bills game a few years ago, a Golden Knights game in Vegas, Scotland France Rugby last year (I stay about 30 min drive from Murrayfield), but the best game I was at was about 11 years ago when I went to an Essendon Hawthorn AFL game...... pretty much non stop action, and it only seemed to stop when there was an out and out fight, or at the end of a quarter. If you think about it this way, a bit like MMA and a ball game happens to interrupt the fighting.
The one problem with USA sports is all the commercial breaks....... and you'll notice I haven't been to a soccer (as you call it) game, simply because it's played by a bunch of pussies
Well said and you hit the nail on the head regarding soccer. I have been unable to watch that abomination of a game for more than 20 years.
Aye mate make a reaction on the afl biggest hits 😂
Flex you oke??? Just asking no vids for a while hope you are good my man.
Im good! Thank you for the concern. I was A bit Sick for a while and honestly had 0 energy. But im getting Back into the rhythm:)
@@Flexx2nicEReacts oke man take it easy health is important good to see you back .
Just to let you know, the U.S has now nearly as big afl competition as Australia. Heaps of teams.
AFL Should go to America
Nooooo
any aussie watching this to get ma at americans?
The season is on now bro go West Coast Eagles
Gotta support collingwood. theyre the most hated team but very loyal supporters. hop on the bandwagon while we are shit
😹🙀 Little Johnny in the family law court. Judge asks Johnny, do you want to live with your dad? Johnny says no he beats me all the time. Judge asks, do you want to live with your mum? Johnny says no she beats me too. Judge asks, well who do you want to live with? Johnny says, the Collingwood football club because they never beat anybody. 😊🤣
While ya Sh#t !! Ha! like thats ever gonna change
Lol top 4 this comment aged well.🤣
Collingwood could win 50prem's in a row but it will never tarnish the taint of POOooo....
Geez this aged badly. They were a kick away from Grand Final last season and are favourites to win it this year.
best of the decade marks
best of the decade goals
and players to react to are Cyril Rioli he has one of the best highlight packages of all time also Lance "Buddy" Franklin and Eddie Betts
after watching all of those if we haven't converted you over to Aussie Rules Footy then I'll love to know what sport you are watching that is better and I carnt think of one sport that comes anywhere near the ballpark let alone in the ballpark
a speccie aint a mark hahaha
