American reaction to AFL Australian football league( WHAT IS AFL AUSSIE RULES EXPLAINED)

[@TheStarcruiser]

An aerodynamic sport with the 'Finest Athletes' in the World!!

[@JaneDoe-se8ku]

104,000 people watched my team, Collingwood win the Grand Final on Saturday. If you have the opportunity to watch it, you should. It was a great game, wish Kiss entertaining the crowd pre- game. I enjoyed your reaction, thank you.

[@diggerrob6356]

I still have 2 copies recoreded in case something happens to one of them. What a day! Go Pies!

[@barnowl.]

My partner has a seat at the Grand Final today and my grandson is dancing, with others, at the pre-entertainment on the footy oval just before the game, right in front in front of the band, 'Kiss'. What an experience for them all ! There is another more modern introduction to AFL named, 'A Beginners Guide To AFL'. AFL is older than all the sports you mentioned. It was inspired from an aboriginal/first nations game in the state of Victoria called 'marn grook'. Some players can jump to big heights without using the body of another player. There are Australian-American amateur football teams in the USA. There would be information about where they are etc. if you are interested in playing the game .What makes this game really interesting is the randomness of the ball bounce. Players have to be alert to that at all times. These AFL footballers are top athletes with the tremendous athletic ability of strength, agility and stamina. Glad that you are enjoying our Aussie sport !

[@chrisking6667]

Yuk. What kind of decent Australian would want their children within 100m of a Pies match.

[@user-bf8ud9vt5b]

There is an American playing in the national league named Mason Cox. There's a pretty good vid called 'Don't Believe in Never' about his journey to the AFL.

[@EmmanBella-gi4wq]

Was gonna say the same thing, is a great video to watch where he came from and what he faced coming into the sport from the USA

[@suemoore984]

A lot of Americans who see Australian football for the first time comment on the lack of protective equipment. If our players wore protective gear it would reduce injuries, but would also dramatically slow down the game. Players run several miles in each game and, even though it's a winter sport, they work up quite a sweat.

[@chrisking6667]

100% Sue. I've played the game for 20 years and would love to be the only player out there with no pads. Give the fastest man on Earth a bunch of bulky pads and even I'll laugh as I run past

[@brockmurley]

I'm sure I'm not the only one saying you should react to the Top 50 Marks and Top 50 Goals of all time. There are a few videos of both on KZbin.

[@dragonoftheeast695]

Nice reaction mate👍 Try ‘Don’t believe in Never’ Mason Cox , and West Coast Eagles. Also the 2012, 2018, and 2023 AFL Grand Final Highlights.. These vids will get you fired up!!! 💪🏆🦁👍

[@Greg-ue8qh]

Well done mate keep up the good work. Mason cox the first USA person to play 100 games is playing in the grand final tomorrow check him out

[@paulboyd9171]

Actually, Don Pike was the first person from USA to play 100 games, for West Coast, starting in 1989. But, I have to admit, not many people would realize that.

[@yendor9078]

Getting close folks..... Go the Pies! Thanks Brandon for Showing interest in our great game

[@AndyFNQ84]

Mate your teeth look perfect so I'd recommend getting behing Brisbane-Fitzroy for the Grand Final tomorrow. Thanks for the reaction matey

[@JollyFNT]

Hey man, reallly loving the vids. The AFL grand final is today and you can either watch it live or u can watch highlights and post it on ur yt. Just a suggestion!

[@nicod4660]

AFL Here Comes the Boom is v entertaining! luv from Auss

[@TagSpamCop]

The AFL Grand Final is going on literally right now, today, this minute.

[@juliemerrifield6818]

If you can, watch this year's Grand final. Collingwood vs Brisbane. It was a fabulous game, one of the best grand finals ever !

[@ray.shoesmith]

Shit granny

[@petertrezise4545]

G’day Brandon, some videos to watch are greatest marks and goals. Also there are many videos of individual players highlights. Eddie Betts and Buddy Franklin would be two good ones to start with. Highlights of Grand Finals such as 1970 and 2018. Have fun searching videos out. Soon you will have to choose a team.😂

[@rossevans1774]

Any contact accidental or deliberate with an opponent's head at any time is penalised with a free kick. All head contact video is reviewed post-match and results in $ fine and or game/s suspension. Depending on severity of any deliberate contact with opposition players head can result in the offending player sitting out (suspension) for the rest of the season and sometimes into next season.

[@steve8510]

The record attendance is 121,696 people for the 1970 Grand Final, there's more seating and less standing room now so capacity has fallen to around 100,000. Collingwood pulls the biggest crowds and has been involved in the top 5 highest attendances of all time and regularly brings a million people through the turnstiles each year, their average attendance per game is a little over 80,000

[@assplundah]

Hey mate, great to see you’re enjoying our religion of AFL! Check out the 1989 grand final between Geelong & Hawthorn, one of the best games ever in every way!👍

[@Danger_Mouse3619]

You don't have to bounce the ball but the ball has to touch the ground every 15 yards or refs generally count 15 steps. But in wet weather if the ground is soggy the ball might not bounce so well so the player can bend down and hold the ball and touch the ground so as to keep on going. Also if the ball gets kicked out of bounds on the full it's a free kick to the other team from where the ball went out. Also if you kick the ball and it hits the very outside posts it's deemed out on the full too and no points are given. It's a free kick to the other team . If the ball is gone over the boundary line not on the full it's a throw in from the ref. The ref stands where the ball goes out and turns his back to throw it over his head back into the field where the players are and they then have to try and get it however possible. Rugby league followers like to call AFL aerial pingpong. 😜

[@chriskelly9476]

The beauty of the AFL is that there's a role for all sizes. The smallest player currently in the AFL is Caleb Daniel at 5'6. He's a defender but rather than playing one on one, his role is to use his speed, agility and precision kicking to gather the ball and run it out of defence and deliver it up the ground to a midfielder.

[@BomberFletch31]

1:07 what a kick indeed. That player who kicked that goal from about 70 metres out - that is Dustin Fletcher, father of Mason and Max Fletcher who are currently playing in the NFL. Dustin played 400 games for the Essendon Bombers in a career spanning 22 years from 1993 to 2015. He holds the record for the most number of games played by an Essendon player, and I'd argue one of the best full backs for Essendon. I started watching and following footy in 1993, and "Fletch" quickly became my favourite player.

[@greyskiesmusic3406]

I highly recommend watching the highlights video for the round 16 matchup between Essendon and Port Adelaide, highlights are usually shorter videos so better for reacting, it's was also one of the more ridiculous games of the year that ends with a player having a shot to potentially win the game with a shot at goal after the siren, highly recommend it!

[@DesiS16]

Grand final today baby! Go Brisbane lions!

[@nickhall463]

You should check out highlights from the 2023 grand final, Collingwood v brisbane, was an epic game

[@Yumm...]

Loving the reactions! Check out "Best of the Decade: 2010-2019 | Spectacular Marks | AFL" - A "mark" is just what the AFL calls a catch or "Eddie Betts - The Pied Piper" he was only 5ft8 and one of the best forwards when he played (retired end of 2021). Checking out game hightlight from this final series would be awesome so you can see the atmosphere and game play but AFL account strict on those so you'd have to put up something to block or blur the image

[@hawk2390]

The Grand Final is on in 18hrs, the best 2 teams are competing. Toss of the coin game, get on Brandon!

[@danielmustapha8299]

You should react to the AFL grand final highlights

[@blxst209]

Hey you should check out the AFL Grand Final highlights | Collingwood v Brisbane 2023

[@vaudevillian7]

You can see why Australian punters are taking over college football in the US, and starting to become more of a presence in the NFL - Michael Dickson probably being the most famous and effective in recent years

[@matthewwatts5845]

Great content mate and respect your willingness to understand our game. The commentary near the start is a bit misleading in that the game is 'now' played professionally by 18 teams in the AFL. The facts of the matter are that the VFL broke away from the VFA in the late 1890's in order to become a professional sport. Also and more importantly is that the AFL is simply the flagship competition of the game called Australian Rukes Football and the game is not actually called AFL. On that note Aussie Rules is played by thousands of men, women, boys and girls of all skill levels all over Australia for hundreds of clubs in a good few hundred leagues. You can play this game from Auskick at 5 years of age to Masters with the oldest current player at around 80.

[@markj2091]

Hope you watch the grand final today. Its shaping up to be a fucking ripper

[@ImGodTheMaryBanger]

this is the better version of the rules. that other one is annoying

[@kmeier20]

Go Pies

[@imaginemyshock8067]

Fans and players are generally not keen on adopting pads or helmets; they feel without them the game plays faster and with more excitement. Players have to be reconciled to the idea that they're going to get hurt, but not to mind that as being a part of the game.

[@karlennis3642]

Please watch the Final Few beers n enjoy

[@jayweb51]

You need to check out the companion video to this, from the AFL, called "A Beginners Guide to Australian Rules Football", this will clear up any question you have from this video. Maybe, even raise more questions.

[@davidhill500]

GDAY BRANDON..MATE..GET YOUR MATES TO WATCH THE FINALS WITH YOU..THIS SATURDAY 30 SEPTEMBER,..A FEW BEERS, A BARBY( BARBACUE)..AND GOOD MATES...DO A STREAMING REACTION TO OUR GRAND FINAL...GO BRISSIE.

[@Ian-hg8gx]

if you can find coverage of the grand final, i would watch highlights of a game rather than individual skill packages so it will help you watch the grand final, try the miracle on grass, there is a 5min 45 sec video you could react to, or even better for you a 33min video you could just watch which would give you better context of the overall game, welcome to the best crowd sport in the world

[@patrickheffernan6599]

For context, a “specky’s” (when they climb your back and catch the ball) are kind of like being dunked on in basketball

[@TopShelfOzzie]

Watch AFL "here comes the boom"

[@Honkersification]

G'day mate. Nice intro. Where do I begin?

[@Honkersification]

Mate, you have to bounce it. It's a beautiful ball.

[@hawk2390]

Aussie footy is the oldest codified league in the world. We love it.

[@DaveWhoa]

"kinda like soccer" .... no, nothing like soccer. Soccer - where grown men pretend to be hurt. Australian rules football - where grown men pretend they're not hurt.

[@crimmo54]

Mate, watch it on full screen.

[@peterflynn2111]

Offside is a ridicoulous rule and makes no sense and besides no one knows what it is from what i have seen ; time added on is usually 10 mins per Quarter

[@sandgroperwookiee65]

What are you talking about regards to offside & Aussie Rules Footy🤔🤔

[@peterflynn2111]

@@sandgroperwookiee65 offside never made sense and even refs have trouble knowing what it is ; one thing iam very happy about with Aussie rules is no silly offside rule

[@Rigiroeiriff]

Theres another game in Australia for people with no ball skills and limited grey matter. Rugby league.
