That last one was genuinely quite funny

[@Bezeur]

Yeah 'eye contact'😄😄

[@richardbehan8118]

It's funny because it's true.

[@HSWA7]

So funny😂

[@bigpotato2354]

Eye contact 💀💀💀

[@BibJib29]

I was laughing when he said is he looking at me

[@matthewlloyd3255]

The 80s....peak Australian civilisation.

[@DavidSweetnam]

Not really, 80s were high elbows on a player with eyes on the footy, unmanly to say the least

[@lunch2102]

90s was the peak of AFL standards, most players could use both sides and there was little milking decisions. 2000s they stopped focusing on skill and instead referenced endurance when recruiting

[@rangafromtonga6975]

The old high contact + eye contact...rough

[@wades9327]

As a local umpire, this was fkn funny

[@fortnightgod6920]

Is he looking at me👹

[@bobheyotue9850]

If the Australians are complaining about crap like this, then we as a society must come together and stop these refs once and for all.

[@jaklintrajkovski8873]

Which refs?

[@jimmymadzcfc4836]

Not trying to be rude but we call them Umpires

[@bobheyotue9850]

@@jimmymadzcfc4836 odd I mean they are the same thing but I feel as though umpires should be for baseball cricket and other racket based sports. Something that’s not as fast paced as the AFL.

[@jimmymadzcfc4836]

@@bobheyotue9850 Oh well I prefer umpire then ref anyway

[@bobheyotue9850]

@@jimmymadzcfc4836 maybe it’s just because I’m American .

[@falconmclenny7284]

That may be the most hilarious drive by elbow ever put to film. So casual, love it.

[@paulwiseman1604]

Why is this so true for an Aussie 😂😂😂

[@FootyGuy2016]

I've seen this a million times and it still is so funny

[@donny8619]

50 meters you did the extremely common gesture of disapproval by putting your arms up. 300 meters for looking back at me.

[@haydnmclennan4739]

first 50 wasn't just the language, but the way he threw the ball at him

[@TheCowMan975]

Richmond player pokes someone umpires “50 meter”

[@spizh7490]

Eye contact 😂

[@EllaKate46]

Why is this so true😂❤

[@blakemccarthy6485]

I love when he gave away a fifty the umpire brought him back to his goals not the one he’s kicked at for the game

[@1refi]

Eye contact was a legitimate lol.

[@Laceys_Life]

BAHAHHAHAHA😂

[@WilliamSederino]

The last one was absolutely hilarious

[@konner5213]

Modern umpires have ruined the game. Players should be treating the game like it was last century.

[@mitchellsaddler]

This is so good. 'Nothin in dat won grow a pebble' and the 'eye contact' Lol

[@Music_Appreciation1994]

Bro this is so true!!!! 😂

[@TransportEnthusiastAus]

Last one was hilarious 😂🔥

[@robives9155]

😂😂😂 well done boys, born in 79 I can definitely relate. 😂😂😂

[@TheAustralian593]

‘Nothin in zat grow a pair of balsh…’ 💀

[@PrepareForTakeoff123]

This is me when I get angry playing footy (in the 80s the guy who said UMPIRE!?!?)

[@guitarmainia]

So true though, afl has got so much softer

[@MrCorrzza3977]

Love the Razor Ray umpiring at the end there

[@spencermonteiro1319]

Australians are kin to Canadians! Nothing but love from the great white north to the land down under!

[@lucastomasevic5141]

Eye contactl LOL 🤣

[@ouroboos4281]

That last one hits different after the Freo Carlton game last week

[@rebeccaarcher9884]

2000s was definitely the best decade

[@BuIldogProd]

Cados with the brief cameo 🐐

[@AngusRobinson742]

I actually got in trouble by the umpire from rolling my eyes after I tackled a guy hard and complained

[@dcstealth11111]

this is the best and only us Aussies can understand this especially from vfl days

[@1972butchy]

How true this is.

[@RGDGAME]

The umpire ran the wrong way in that last one 😂

[@SuperC_Spongebobmemes]

2022 true

[@kezp8114]

You forgot to add the reign of hands on the back... One of the worst rules

[@daniello9155]

Well done guys, very funny.

[@ryanpope8029]

So true

[@abandonedstraya5264]

Extremely accurate

[@stormtrooperdarthvader5086]

“ eYe cOntAcT” 😂😂😂💀

[@EthanMFBeggs_8]

The Shepmates😂

[@proxyrl]

So true 💯😭😭😭😭

[@JLove808]

As an American learning about the AFL, I'm sad that I missed the 80's AFL!

[@Havencheese]

It was an eye for an eye, natural justice but also tactical. Bit like hockey, you had one or two big guys on each team to keep an eye on the smaller guys not getting hit. You also used to get quite a few snipers who made some cowardly cheap shots. It was all part of it but it ruined some blokes for life too. Players also used to verbally abuse umpires too on occasion. Different time.

[@AfleditsLucas]

[@rickyjones2346]

Is this comedy or just a genuine documentary hard to tell at this point 😂😂😂

[@fincarosa]

AFL umpiring in 2025: "but you were thinking it"

[@tsherwood2112]

In 2023 I conceded a 50 because I threw the ball to the man awarded the free and he dropped the catch 😂

[@Mrrichmond77]

Next the umps are gonna have Apple Vision Pros telling what the call is

[@9mil511]

Thanks Gil

[@AVportau]

imagine what the 60's and 70's were like back then.... you'd hear the crowd boo and there's the full forward on his arse and the full back standing with his arms out like "what did i do?". no multi cameras, no replays, if the umpire didn't see it then it never happened.

[@joshuarepresent2328]

Great finish very funny

[@benjaminparkinson5255]

This so true how times have changed

[@Jackson-mu1hi]

Very true mate very true

[@Foldedgamer69]

I touch the other player, umpire- HIGH CONTACT

[@FootballKingAJ.]

I love your videos

[@benjaminmason94]

Very accurate

[@LomuHabana]

AFL fans pretending just because it isn’t as rough as it was 40 years ago, it has become a soft sport lol. There is something called players health. Aussie Rules is still one of the roughest sports out there with (more) severe injuries almost every game. But I do agree with the portrayal of the 50 penalty, that has become an utter joke.

[@Secretlyanothername]

💯 Highs and concussions ruined a lot of players lives, look at all the old guys walking around with CTE. And refs deserve respect - they make mistakes but they're a human element in the game like players

[@LomuHabana]

@@Secretlyanothername perfectly put. I am sometimes baffled by refs, but in the next game, they put on a perfect performance. They deserve more credit when they put on a good performance. Players must be protected, many former AFL players struggle severely. The game doesn’t have to be utter warfare to be enjoyable.

[@jesusisking8502]

TTFU as chopper would say.

[@Auzziefishin-hq1uo]

That is what happend to me the other week. Got absolutely robbed in my u/13 boys game. Cheers to the gramp who did the “Amazing” umpiring!
