Many Italian Australians have become Aussie Rules footy legend's and have contributed greatly to the sport. Thank you for contribution to such an iconic Australian sport. Viva Italalia! And congratulations on your win in the Euro final. Aussies love watching the English get beaten at everything. Congratulazioni.
The order of which football code came first is a little confusing. In terms of when the sport was officially codified, Australian football is first (1857), followed by Association Football (1861) and Rugby Union (1871). Afterwards comes Gaelic (1887), American and Canadian (1892 approx.) and finally Rugby League (1907). In terms of which was played first, that's when things get harder. 'Football' of some kind was played thousands of years before the codes were formalised, but it always looked a little different depending on where you played.
The Association Football codification is a bit more complex - Eton 1815 & Aldenham 1825 had a set of rules. Cambridge had rules & continually "improved" them from 1838 - 1861 when "their" rules were used outside of Cambridge for the 1st time - HOWEVER - there were still different rules depending on where the game was taking place. 1863 - the newly formed F.A. combined the best of their rules with the best of the Cambridge rules (many people say this is the date of codification) - BUT - the Sheffield football association STILL played by different rules. 1877 the London F.A. & the Sheffield F.A. agreed on a set of common rules - so technically THIS is the proper date of codification.
A few things different from soccer - it’s high scoring and mostly there is a clear result at the end of the game. While draws are rare at least they’re high scoring and very exciting - this game does not stop for injuries. If you get hurt play will go on unlike in soccer where it will stop. I like this because it means players can’t pretend they’re hurt and stop the clock. Play will only stop if a stretcher is required -amazing athletes who run up to 10km-15km per game…. Seriously talented
every point is true but the average distance run, the midfielders run considerably further approaching 20 to 22 kilometres and al the while most of it sprinting and taking body contacts that is why they are subbed so regularly
"While draws are rare at least they’re high scoring and very exciting". And then there was the draw between Richmond and Collingwood in 2020, which was about as disappointing a game as you'll ever see.
One of the best players in the AFL at the moment is Marcus Bontempelli, an Australian of Italian origin and Captain of the Western Bulldogs, currently second on the League Ladder. Check out his highlights. One of his teammates is Tom Liberatore, also a champion player and son of a former champion, in Tony Liberatore. Their highlights are worth watching too. There is a long history of Italian champions in this sport.
Sergio Silvagni (Carlton legend) his son Stephen (Carlton legend and AFL Full Back of the Century), Stephen's son Jack is a current Carlton player. Ron Barassi Melbourne legend and former Carlton coach and player. His father Ron was a Melbourne player and the first Australian soldier killed at the Seige of Tobruk North Africa in WW2. Just two Italian names of many at Carlton and at other clubs. Greek names are also prominent in Australian Football.
We have a huge Italian community in Australia and Irish also . Both have made huge contributions to our game ..Thanks for looking into this very old code ...Invented in 1858 ..
There have been quite a few excellent players of Italian descent throughout the league's history. The Western Bulldogs have two excellent ones in Marcus Bontempelli & Tom Liberatore.
AFL was well-established in Australia by the time that soccer became popular in Britain. In fact, Melbourne Football Club (which plays Aussie Rules) was founded in 1858, Soccer started in Britain in 1863, which makes it older than nearly all English Soccer clubs.
Wow finally, a non American reacting to this Well the bounce is every 15 metres. They just said "16 yards" for Americans. Also a mark is ANY catch from a kick which has travelled a minimum of 15 metres. Not just the spectacular catch.
Some Australian First Nations were playing a style of football called Mannegrook long before the Brits ever arrived in Australia in 1788. I have been told that AFL is the oldest style of football in the world
Enjoy… As an Italian born Australian I can tell you this is an amazing sport. By the way… before Covid the popular games would average around 80-85 thousand. The Grand final is around 100k give or take a little
If u want to watch a game there is a game on this Sunday Australian time between caflton and Collingwood, the two biggest rivals in the AFL. Will be an amazing game
The standing room only seating has been taken out of the game. Record crowd tops 110,000 people. Consider, also, that the population in Australia is lower than most European countries but Aussies love their sport.
I went to the 1970 GF, just under 122,000 plus they used to open the gates after half-time, l watched about 10,000 clamber onto the roof of the stadium amazing
I don't know whether it's region controlled, but there are highlights (and past games) at afl.com.au (current season has 5 or 6 games left plus finals. Normally finishes in the last weekend of September)
AFL has a rich history of Italian players and a lot of which have gone on to be great players. Most of these players were born in Australia from Italian parents such as: Robert DiPierdomenico Mark Ricciuto Brendon Fevola Peter Riccardi Stephen Silvagni Anthony Koutoufides
@@terben7339 Or Charlie Pagnoccolo for Footscray back in the early 1970"s. I can remember him getting radio commentator, poor old Jack Dyer, hilariously tongue-tied every time he attempted to pronounce his name.
Hey Mauro. The grand final was played in September in front of 65000 people in Perth this year because of Melbourne s COVID-19 problem. But the Melbourne team won the final. As you are from Italy I invite you to take interest in my favourite team Fremantle. We have a long proud history of immigration from Italy with a very very large Italian community.
There are some very famous Italian Australian footy players over the years. Ron Barassi was the first and he pushed for Italians and to recognised in the sport.
There was AFL Italia in Milan but I don't know if it is still going or has been suspended. You might want to look it up to see if you can watch or even play. Dion Prestia of Richmond in the Australian teams has Italian heritage.
I use to live in Paris & invited some French friends to watch the Final match in a Bar at 3am after we watched some live music. Two of them still support Sydney Swans and watch the games regularly...
Love your reaction mate...It's a brilliant game when its flying...And I'm proud its unique to Australia...Dates back to the 1850s...Of course a completely different game now and very professional with very strict rules on head high hits and tackles...which it has to be...Otherwise it would be too dangerous...Still acidents happen,just like in any contact sport. I'm a passionate COLLINGWOOD supporter...Probably the biggest Sports Team in Australia...And the most hated...Even though we've lost the most Grand Finals. Like every sports team you barrack for as a kid...its in your blood...Unconditional passion
There have been many Italian descentants great players have played this wonderful game and many more ethics players players from different countries have played this wonderful game as well notably from Ireland.
The season starts in the middle of march 2022 if you have cable or pay TV you might get the AFL Channel if you do have a look at a game you will enjoy it cheers
Here in Australia the football is king. Players are gods and their performance on the weekend is the subject of huge debate… welcome to Australian rules, the best and most difficult sport in the world.
AFL started in 1858. The average player runs over 20 kilometre’s a game or 12.43 miles. They must have all of the skills to play while running. They are amazing athlete’s. They wear no padding and when they go up to catch a mark, we call it flying. We have most sports here. My son played AFL, Soccer, Cricket and Rugby Union, my other son played Soccer, Rugby Union and Rugby League. My grandson was a champion Soccer player and his offers from England started before he was 12. Then Italy started watching him. My son told them to go away and let his son grow up first. I have always had an American Football team and I like it. But their football can be like watching grass grow compared to how fast AFL is.
Glad you enjoyed the game. It's great to watch people discovering the best game in the world. Loved your reactions. Nope, Aussie rules is older than soccer. Soccer was codified in 1863 and Aussie rules in 1859. So, no, Aussie rules did not copy the rules of other football codes. If anything, it could be the other way around. The Grand Final attendance is actually normally 100,000. AFL season is still going. Played in front of crowds in some cities but in empty stadia in Melbourne, since we have some COVID right now. There is a way of watching it overseas, since there are some American and British TH-camrs live streaming it. Not sure which site they use. The rules and umpires' decisions are a bit hard to interpret sometimes, even for people who have grown up with the game. One of the key issues occurs when a player with the ball is tackled. The player with the ball has to dispose of the ball legally (kick or handball) when tackled. If they don't, it is holding (or dropping) the ball and the tackler gets a free kick. But there are some subtleties around whether the player with the ball had an opportunity to get rid of the ball or not. You will get the hang of it after you have watched a couple of games.
Great description Michael in that contrary to belief on many video's like this, Aussie Rules pre-dates the lot of the other games and I could be said they drew inspiration from our game.
One of the best games I've ever seen is the 2018 grand final, I would highly recommend you watch it on youtube. My home team West Coast took home the win.
If you’re looking to get into the sport more and are trying to figure out which team to support, Carlton would be a great choice for you. The Carlton area has a heavy Italian population. Lygon Street which is located in Carlton is pretty much Little Italy here in Australia. And a lot of Carlton fans are of Italian descent.
Because of the weird shape of the ball it takes lots of time to learn the basic fundamentals of the game. Like kicking is very difficult and because I don’t play the sport and practise enough I cant kick a ball with accuracy, bouncing the ball has to be done in the perfect way otherwise it will go in every which direction, hand balling is pretty easy but it can take a bit to know what your doing.
if you think about australias population and the 90,000 that attend the grand final thats basically 1 in every 250 aussies attending and thats just for the clubs who make the final some clubs have over 100k members alone. we love our AFL
Australian Rules really does need to go more into Europe . We actually recruit some players from Ireland as their Gallic football is quite similar. Because of our multi cultural backgrounds there are players with all sorts of ethnic backgrounds, many European. I hope you can catch some live streams so you can have a better understanding of the nuances .
The thing that soccer and AFL share is the way that the games flow and don’t have the relentless stop/start of rugby and NFL. If you send an email off to the AFL they should be able to tell you how you can watch their games in Europe.
There is Geelong Cats and Fremantle Dockers playing tomorrow (Thursday 8:10pm AEST), Richmond Tigers and Brisbane Lions on Friday (7:50pm AEST), GWS Giants and Sydney Swans on Saturday (1:45pm AEST), Gold Coast Suns and Western Bulldogs on Saturday as well (4:35pm AEST), Melbourne Demons and Hawthorn Hawks on Sunday (4:35pm AEST) and lastly St Kilda Saints and Port Adelaide Power on Sunday as well (7:25pm AEST)

Yes AFL rules are very much up to the interpretation of the umpires, so you get variation. Continued reviewing and some changes to the rules doesn't help either.
Great content mate and you clearly know your sport. Aussie Rules older than all the sports you mentioned and codified and played a number of years before soccer even thought of.
Aussie Rules predates most other team sports, so better to say they resemble it than it resembles them. But it's natural that anyone who has prior experience of those other sports to see those resemblances and assume they came first and AFL copied them. It didn't.
Pretty sure it was invented to keep the cricket players fit in the of season.. but yes it is the oldest form of football in the 1800 hundreds its one of the best team sport in the world.... but any sport that involves a team is really enjoyable

The 16 yards equates to approx 15 steps. The umpires usually count the steps, and if it hits around 15 steps without bouncing, they’ve run too far.
Yo I always love seeing people discover AFL, which is why this is on my fyp! Loved this, thanks for the great reaction!
Our season already started it round 18 it actually goes for 23 rounds our season starts in March until September

Soccer and AFL are very alike when it comes to strategy. We steal a lot of defensive patterns from your game.
Scoreboard: goals, points, total
More specifically: Goals, Behinds, Total Points.
The standing room only seating has been taken out of the game. Record crowd tops 110,000 people. Consider, also, that the population in Australia is lower than most European countries but Aussies love their sport.
The population is _greater_ than most European countries. Europe has dozens of countries, but only 8 of them have more people than Australia.
I went to the 1970 GF, just under 122,000 plus they used to open the gates after half-time, l watched about 10,000 clamber onto the roof of the stadium amazing
In Australia we have Rugby League, Rugby Union and Soccer, BUT AFL is our footie. No other sport can compare.
footy** LOL not to be that person just footie looks wack
See also Gaelic football. They share a common mostly rules-less traditional ancestor.
So glad you have finally discovered the joys of Aussie Rules
