    One thing I love about this game is that it's a lot more free-flowing that many other football codes. It's a 360 degree game with no offsides, so play can go in any direction at any time. Play doesn't stop every time there's a tackle - only when a player is being penalized - nor does play stop for minor injuries. (Only when a player needs to be assisted from the ground by medical staff does play usually stop). This means that a passage of play can go for several minutes without any stoppages, making for a fast-paced game (which explains the high scoring you were wondering about).

    Bro it took me years to figure this game out (I’m American living in Australia.) But once you get in to it and learn the rules and go to a live match, it’s legit one of the dopest sports to follow. The fans get so passionate about it. Hard not to fall in love with.

    The hardest thing for people to understand is the way the score works. In a score that might show 20 10 130, the 20 is the number of goals (worth 6 points each), the 10 is the behinds worth 10 points, and the 130 is the total points of the goals and behinds.

    Australian Rules was actually the first to adopt codified rules (1858), closely followed in Britain by soccer. Basketball began in 1891, NFL began in 1920. What began as an initiative to keep cricketers fit through winter rapidly became a unique sport with it's own champions.

  • @EthanPascale
    @EthanPascale ปีที่แล้ว +2

    What people don’t understand about this game is the fact you can get a dead leg in the first 10 seconds of the first quarter from a hit and you are going to have to get up and play 20 -30 more minutes straight with a 3-6 minute break at some point in that quarter. Then once the first quarters done you still have 90 more minutes of running, tackling and kicking. If your playing in the middle of the field you would be tacked within 5 seconds of getting the ball because of how much pressure these teams play at.

    "Why are th scores so high?" - Each goal is worth 6 points. Each "behind" is one point. In the example shown, Collingwood has 20 goals (=120 points) and 10 behinds (=10 points) - total 130. Carlton has 18 goals (108 points) 12 behinds (12 points) = 120 points total.

    Nice reactions, mate. In answer to your question about positions, there are 18 players on the ground (that's how we refer to the pitch or field) per team at any one time plus 4 on the interchange bench. Traditionally, there are 3 backmen (full back plus two back pockets), 3 half-backs (centre half-back plus 2 half back flanks), 3 centre men (centre plus 2 wings), 3 half-forwards (centre half-forward plus 2 half-forward flanks), 3 forwards (full forward plus 2 forward pockets) and 3 on the ball, or followers, including a ruckman (the tall guy who jumps for the ball), a ruck rover and rover (smaller guy who tries to clear the ball from a stoppage. In practice, it is all a lot more fluid than that with teams moving and down the ground, depending on where the ball is and who has possession. The extra 10 minutes of stoppage time they mentioned is per quarter, not per game, so most quarters last for about 30 minutes total time. There are also 5 minute breaks between the 1st and 2nd quarters and between the 3rd and 4th quarters and 20 minutes between the 2nd and 3rd quarter, so a whole game takes about 2.5 hrs. Considering there are only 4 guys on the bench, they do have to be extremely fit. By the way, the mention of 90,000+ at the Grand Final is technically correct, although most years, there are 100,000. There are plenty of other Aussie rules videos out there to react to. Just search on "AFL". Reaction to these often get a lot of Aussie views. We are into the last 2 weeks of finals right now.

    What a lot of the videos don't mention is that each game the clock starts at 20 minutes and counts down. When there's a stoppage, like a goal is scored, the ball goes out of bounds, there's an injury where they need to bring on the stretcher to get them off, etc. the clock stops. This clock is shown on tv so everyone at home watching the game knows how long is left. There's a clock shown on the big screen at the game which counts up which doesn't stop until the end of the quarter, showing the actual time since the quarter started, which is usually 25-35 minutes. It's more exciting this way as well, because if you're at the game and it's a close game, you have no idea how long is left until the siren goes. You have to rely on someone at home texting you how long is left :)
    What can also happen during the grand finals if it's super close is they'll change the countdown on the tv to the same clock that they show at the game so that no one knows how long left to go, except the guy sounding the siren!

    Because the ball can do long hang time in the air, the concept of space is important. An empty piece of ground can be an opportunity or a threat. So whilst 18 players is a lot, the ground size is huge and resources are actually scarce. Hard work is it's own reward. So you may run 150 metres to create a chance. It's tough if you miss.

    Think about it this way as well. The NFL only has a 13 - 15 week season, takes a couple of weeks off, then playoffs, then Super Bowl. But even with the playoffs there's time off between the regular season and the playoffs, then again between the playoffs and Super Bowl. In the AFL, they play at least 8 weeks longer for their regular season, and depending on position, a team in the top 8 could make it all the way to the Grand Final, which is at the 26th week (and final) of the season. Yes, AFL players could play HALF A YEAR from start to finish, while the NFL plays 7 to 10 games less.

    Back pocket, Full Back, Back pocket
    Half Back Flank, Centre Half Back, Half Back Flank
    Wing, Centre Mid, Wing
    Half Forward Flank, Centre Half Forward, Half Forward Flank
    Forward Pocket, Full Forward, Forward Pocket
    Ruck, Ruck/Rover, Rover
    The 4 pockets are usually the smallest guys on the field, The guys in the spine (FB, CHB, Ruck, CHF, FF) are usually the tallest guys on the ground ranging from 6'4" around 7' tall. The flankers and wings as well as the ruck/rover and the rover are usually around 6' to 6'4. The flank players and the wingers can run the most during the game along with the mids (ruck/rover and the rover) clocking up around 15-18km per game.

    1 thing they gloss over in the video is how they restart the game. After a behind(1 point) the defensive team restarts play from the little square in front of the goal within about 20 seconds. After each goal(6 points) the umpires take the ball back to the center of the field for another bounce. Teams can on occasion score a goal in as little as 15 seconds from the centre bounce. 10 goals(60 points) in a quarter for a team is rare but can happen.

    In AFL there are two ways of scoring. If you kick the ball through the two centre posts that is called a goal and the goal umpire will show two hands. A goal is worth 6 points. If you kick the ball in between the tall post and the shorter post or if the ball hits the post that is called a behind and the goal umpire will show one hand and often fly a flag. A behind is worth 1 point. So when you see the score line you’ll see three numbers eg. 20 10 130. This means the team has kicked 20 goals, 10 behinds, with the total being 130. 20 goals at 6 points a pop equals 120 and 10 behinds at 1 point a pop equals 10. Goals plus behinds equals the final score. In AFL there are four quarters each 20 minutes in length with extra time added on for stoppages/injuries etc. whereas in Rugby League and Rugby Union they play two halves of forty minutes each. In AFL the game ends when the final siren sounds and the winning team’s song is played through the loudspeakers.

    Free kicks are awarded with successful tackles. When the ball goes over the boundary line, a dedicated boundary umpire throws the ball back into play. He faces the crowd and throws it backwards over his head onto the the field of play where 2 designated ruckmen compete for the ball.
    After each goal, the ball is returned to the centre circle where the 2 ruckman compete to tap the ball to a player (as shown in the clip). There is 30 seconds between a goal and the start of play again when a commercial(s) are shown.
    The score here is 20 10 130. That's 20 goals of 6 points equals 120 points plus 10 points. Total of 130
    Mid fielders are the fittest and GPS trackers show that they run over 17 kms a game (that's about 10.5 miles). Tough work in sprinting and lateral movement and tackling strong players. Players spend nearly as much time in the gym as on the ground training during the week.
    All are professionals starting around the 100k mark to well over $1M a season.

Then there is the ruck, usually the tallest, ruck-rover & the rover, usually the smallest.

    The reason the scores are so high, is the winner is determined by who scores the most points. When you look at the final score, it shows Goals, Behinds and Points; to workout the number of points, you have to add the value of the Goals to the value of the Behinds. G 20(x6=120) B 10(×1=10) P 130(G 120 + B 10) Most games last about two and a half hours, this includes breaks between the quarters. On average, 30 minutes a quarter is about mid; while some quarters maybe 27/28 minutes, most can be 32/33 minutes.

    Each goal is counted as 6 points - so at the finish if you multiply all the goals by 6 and add the remaining points so you get the points score at the finish if I remember correctly.

    For those who DISLIKE &/or HATE any Football (Footy) Code/s with a real passion would &/or will say these,
    (1 One) Australian Rules Football, is referred as Aerial Ping Pong Football,

    (3 Three) Rugby Union Football, is referred as Thugby Union, &/or Rugby Yawnnion,
    (4 Four) Football (Soccer), is referred as Wog Ball and also both Fairies &/or Queenies Game.
    (NOTE) Aerial Ping-Pong
    A jocular (and frequently derisive) name for Australian Rules Football (or Aussie Rules as it is popularly called). The term derives from the fact that the play in this game is characterised by frequent exchanges of long and high kicks.
    The term is used largely by people from States both of Queensland & New South Wales in which Rugby League Football and NOT Aussie Rules (Footy) Football as &/or is the major football code. This interstate and code rivalry is often found in evidence for the term, including the early evidence from the 1940s.
    1947 West Australian (Perth) 22 April: In 1941 he enlisted in the A.I.F. and joined a unit which fostered rugby football. Renfrey did not join in the &oq;mud bath&cq; and did not play 'aerial ping-pong', as the rugby exponents in the army termed the Australian game, until 1946.

    The length of the game is minimum 1hour and 20 minutes and can be up to 2 hours. The score is so high because a goal between the middle posts is worth 6 points and between the outer posts is 1 point.

    Without posting a complex comment, per team on the field, there are 6 defenders, 6 forwards 3 midfielders, and 3 on-ballers, then 3 on the bench which can be rotated on and off the field as long as the player rotations don't exceed 90, and 1 medical sub that can replace an injured player.

    this video is a very basic look at our game..there are other rules but they may complicate the explanation if you are watching for the first time. for instance.. if you run but don't bounce the ball every 15 metres (16 yards) you will be penalized by having the ball taken off you and given to a opponent for a free kick... if you are tackled whilst holding the ball (you have a split second to get rid of it) you will also give away a free kick to the tackler.. if you jump on an opponents back to take a spectacular catch (specky) and you miss.. you can be penalized for, what's called, 'in the back'.. which is a push in the back... you cannot push your opponent in the back at any time or you will give away a free kick.. there is much more

  • @IterImpiusnp
    @IterImpiusnp 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    First off, listen to the instructions in the video. You were asking questions as to why things happen before the video has gotten up to that point.
    Secondly in Australia, we measure in meters instead of yards. There is 1.094 yards per meter, so the 16 yards isn’t an accurate measurement for the distance on where you have to bounce the ball, which is every 15 meters. Video says players can hit a target from 40 yards away 🤨 You mean 54.68 yards (50 meters).
    Thirdly the tackling. Can tackle between the shoulders and the knees, as long as you don’t drive into their back. If you tackle from behind and the player being tackled lands into the ground, you need to make sure you don’t land on their back or it’s a free kick.
    Fourthly when you quarter something, there’s only ever 4. The time is 20 minutes plus time on, which means the quarter can go anywhere between 28-35 minutes. At quarter time there’s a 6 minute break for a team meeting. Half time it’s 20 minutes break where the teams go back to their dressing/locker rooms. 3 quarter time it’s a 6 minute break before the final quarter. The finishing time of the game can close in on the 3hr mark from when the game started.
    Lastly the scores. The example on this video is 20:10:130 Vs 18:12:120. Need to remember goals (20) are worth 6 points, which adds up to 120. The 10 is the amount of behinds ‘kicked’ added to the score for the goals, which gives the total score of 130. Here’s an other few score examples:
    5:11:41
    17:2:104
    11:21:87
    1:15:21
    For the past 4-5yrs there’s new rules being introduced and removed from the game. It confuses the casual fan, but not the diehards (like myself) who have this insane problem of reading every bloody post made about this game (yes I’m insane lol). Best game in the world

    1/4s work out to be about 30 minutes each - that's 2 hours on the ground!! Players can cover 15+ km a game! The Grand Final will have over 100,000 at the ground. (scores are SO high - because it's a fast, action packed game!!!)

    The score line
    20 10 130
    20 = 6 point the ball kicked between the two big posts (untouched) = 120
    10 = 10 points the ball kicked between the big post and the small post, or hit the big post only(hitting small post is out of bounce and the ball is thrown back in), or the ball is touched = 10 points
    So scores line is
    20 = 120 + 10 = 10 total 130

    If you want to know what throwing the footy is, have a look at AFL boundary umpires throwing a ball back into play.
    Oh, and never get in the way of a boundary umpire, their fitter, stronger and don’t stop running for anyone or anything, they just go through them.

    Gday mate, Go Hawks ( Hawthorn) you need to try a little tiny bit of Vegemite, portello, ANZAC biscuits with your meat pie. She’ll be right mate.

    20 minutes a quarter, plus 10 10 minutes, so quarters are about 1/2 an hour - 2 hours on the ground! Scores are so high, because it's a fast, high scoring game. The score isn't explained too well. It reads:
    Goals, (X6 points), Behinds, (X1 point), Total score, in points! These athletes can cover 15Km+ a game!

    Nice reaction (you dont talk TOO much!)..
    16 yards is 15 metres.. An Umpire/player "estimates this", its approx 3-5 full paces..
    Total Score at the end of the game is high because 20 goals (worth 6 points each) and 10 behinds (worth one point each) adds up to 130 (120 worth of "6 point goals" and 10 "single behinds")
    Hint: press the back arrow to go back 5 seconds at a time..
    Cheers from South Australia (in the middle, down the bottom!)

    i think they dribble the ball every 16 yards to stop the fastest players simply outrunning everyone else

    • @philipsmith5088
      @philipsmith5088 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      They don't dribble it, they bounce it - or alternatively can just touch the ball to ground. You're spot on with the reason why though. It's a major difference between Australian Football and rugby where they can just pick the ball up and run, along with the fact that there is no offside rule in Aussie Rules either.

      Try catching the one they featured, aboriginal player Lewis Jetta. No one caught him while he was bouncing it. (He’s one of the fastest)

    Soccer is a gentleman's game played by hooligans. Rugby is a hooligan's game played by gentlemen. Aussie Rules is Everyman's game played by supermen.
