@judileeming1589 that's pretty cool 😎

Spectacular event, caught bits of it on the TV of local pubs. Hope you enjoyed yourself!

Got to route for the underdogs right 🔥

I was confused, watching the game for 2 hours didn't make it clear either though.

@@AnthInOz Least you went in person. You learn so much more going in person at ground than trying to watch via youtube only or tv. The average youtuber that watches highlights of the sport on youtube remain clueless. Least when you say you were confused, you at least have an idea of how much you do not know. Some youtubers think they can learn the game from videos and truly are clueless forever even though they think they have learned about the sport.

I love that: three key things to do!

@@andygreves4502 it’s how they did it in biblical times.

@@andygreves4502 He forgot many others, like handball, kick backwards, kick sideways, block space, shepherd, tackle etc .etc. More like listen to coach and do your role even if it means not get ball much....

Just why did that guy get stopped by an umpire from tackling the guy with ball 🤔 haha that's what I like about discovering new sports, the people who love it, really love it

That's true, but also ask why it hasn't expanded beyond one league. Accessibility is an issue.

@@AnthInOz It has expanded beyond one league FFS. ha ha ha 1859 means it still a colony of the British Empire and Australia is not even a nation at that point so it really was a local ball sport still working out rules for different cricket clubs to play each other at a ball sport each winter weekend in the town of Melbourne of 1859, in the British Empire. It would have been known as Melbourne rules first, then later Victoria rules as it expanded across the colony of Victoria in the 1860's. Other British colonies such as Tasmania and South Australia and West Australia started playing "Victorian rules" and created their own leagues in the 1870's and 1880's. The first real leagues such as SAFA in South Australia and VFA in Victoria started in the 1870's. So the first decade and a half of the sport was still organizing agreements between clubs just to even decide rules they would agree on and some type of schedule and then some type of ladder... There are many leagues that have existed in every state and every regional area as the population and Federation took place the next century for Australia to become a nation itself. Eight VFA clubs left the VFA in 1897 to form a new league called VFL and left the clubs they did not want with them in the VFA. VFA and VFL then continued as different leagues in Victoria for next nine decades. in 1987 the VFL added teams from West Australia and Brisbane up in Queensland. So the league was no longer truly just the Victorian Football League so the premiership title being for best team in Victoria was no longer what it was. So 1990 they eventually started calling it the Australian Football League and more clubs from other states were added as the 1990's progressed. So AFL is not actually the sport even though many people make the mistake of saying the sport is AFL. The sport is Australian football or Aussie rules footy, and the highest standard league is the Australian Football League. Anyway, rant over :)

@shaundgb7367 It's a one league membership only franchise. There's no promotion or relegation. There's no reward for winning a season beyond having that accolade, there's no repercussions for losing. I get it's longevity, it's appeal and the routes of teams joining and creating leagues, etc. in previous itterations. However, the fact still remains: it's one league. There's nothing wrong with that either, BTW.

@@AnthInOz Thank F it not soccer and have relegation with no grand finals :)

@shaundgb7367 we have cup finals every year and league winners recognised. Teams compete with other leagues and not segregated. Odd take there pal.

I know it was, but I won't name him here. Reported them to the authorities (RTBA, Vic Government, VCAT and the hosting site where I found the property) going to let them do their things. ❤️

I do rate that all the family can come to the same game and mix and mingle with the opposition supporters, making a game more accessable. It's just a very very foreign concept to what I've experienced elsewhere around the world 👍

@@AnthInOz You may have noticed that even in one family, Mum and dad and three or four kids are even following different teams. Glad you appreciate our sport my friend. Cheers. 🦢🦢🦢

@@AnthInOz I would dare to say that Australians are more "sportsmanship minded,"as opposed to the crazies that think of it as war.

Also means it’s much quieter than many other codes around the world….. but it’s better than always being separated I guess

Thank you MeAgain ☺️ I have a little health and work seeking based videos in the works 💪🏻 Really want a good weekend to just enjoy the countryside a bit more ... oh or the winery cellar doors 😇

Looking forward to them!

Well then, I think that the Feb Fringe needs to be added to my list

@@AnthInOz 2025 it's from 17 Jan to 16th Feb. Most of the events are in Northbridge. There's magic shows, burlesque, stand up comedy, concerts, circus and combinations of all of the above, mostly in tents. Over that month there will be well over 100 different shows on and Northbridge becomes very vibrant.

It sounds like a blast, Peter. I have nothing booked in yet after Xmas. 2025 will be awesome, just got a good feeling

My stay was literally on the outskirts of the CBD and most days I just go with the flow. Definitely open to suggestions of specific spots and things to do ☺️

Did that last time a few years ago, it was lovely making around the whole island in a few hours but it was a bit rushed though. "you''ve got 5 minuites here or you get left".

@@AnthInOz There's a hop on/ hop off service. You can stay at a bay for as long as you like and get the next bus. Service operates daily between 8:40 am to 3 pm (at 20-minute intervals).

HAHAHAHA that makes so much and no sense at the same time! Funny 😂

I'm missing your point here max? Are you saying I'm not allowed to be here?

July 3rd and 17th to Melb 😊 I have a feeling I will be back

That sounds pretty cool Will keep an eye on them

Hahaha, I haven't hardly done that 😅 it must be a British thing. When it feels safe to do, just do it 😇

Thank you so much Shirley 💓

@shirleyellis9708 the constant sunshine does help 🌞

Thank you Mr Doofus 🙏🏻 I think a visit to Aus is something you'd love mate.

@@shirleyellis9708 lovely place

Me too!!

@@bluebot1219 it was just posted ... so both 😅

@@AnthInOz oh my bad don't usually get recently posted stuff good thing the algorithm is looking out for you

@bluebot1219 or you're really into car / melbourne content? Thanks Algorithm 😅

@@AnthInOz maybe just looking at some videos based on my country Aussie to btw

Was that sign near the Train station Anth or it’s car park ?

That's good to know! Thanks rong 🤙🏻

I'm off to Victoria today actually 😆

Far better in what way lol? NSW is less affordable and SA is less developed.

In a good way I hope too. It's a lovey city and the way is up... and bigger.

@kenbel2000 that makes sense once explained! Shame I just looked at it and thought it was a needle through a cloth... like maybe the clothing industry next to the cathedrals and churches. But alas, thanks for helping 🙏🏻

It's the default on the 10 Black GoPro. Thanks will look into adapting settings

What a place to be 🇦🇺

Been in the Summer the last time I was in Aus. Somehow stumbled into Bussleton on a Triathlon day. Can't confirm your spot on 👌

@@Pabloeskiibra22 I love Australia 🇦🇺 Send as recommendations as you want!

I agree. So much to see and do there too

It's a rare thing for governments to acknowledge and take corrective action. It was really I interesting to explore and gets you thinking.

Love those ideas!

if I could afford to, I would 😊

@@AnthInOz If you come to Thailand, your number of followers will increase quickly.
