American Reacts To AFL Brutal Bumps And Tackles Of The Decade!

[@sarahmcarthur2956]

Watch “What is AFL” it’s kind of an Americans guide to AFL released by the AFL. It gives a fairly good overview of the game to someone who is new to it. Once you get more interested there are more in depth videos about it to dive into.

[@davidbaird5317]

You have to bounce the ball when running every 16 metres.its difficult when running because you have to bounce it slightly ahead of yourself.if you are running with the ball and you get caught by opposition player its a penalty called holding the ball so the player that caught you gets a free kick

[@themoviehobbit355]

The guy who is really quick is Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti Very good player!

[@kerwinmoore3529]

Matt white faster

[@lynel1985]

for those searching comments 18 players per side = 3 reserves (36 on the field at a time) 4x20min quarters + injury time they have to bounce the ball every 15m (16yards) or less if running with it (like dribbling in basketball) can kick or handpass only (no throwing) the field is 150m long on an oval field (~170yards) and roughly 100m across at the narrow part there are components from lots of sports you can shepherd your teammates like NFL as long as its on the ball though historically fighting in backplay was only frowned on not illegal) any stopped of play without advantage is restarted by the umpire with a jump ball simialar to a B-ball game there are 4 goal posts; between the centre 2 is 6pts (known as a goal), hitting the post or in the outter goal posts is 1pt (known as a behind) a score card might be 10goals 6 behinds and written as follows 10.6.66 kicking the ball and someone catching it is called mark; the player can play on or take a moment to set up a new play (similar to a down in nfl) contact can only be between knees and shoulders

[@nevmat1595]

4 interchange and 1 sub “medical or tactical”

[@leonbrown3270]

Yes every 15 steps you have too bounce the ball. If you kick the ball through the middle post it’s 6 points and the 2 outside post is worth 1 point

[@taylorkatemc]

when you're in the full-back, which was my job back in the day, it was great to watch people come running at you full speed tryna line up a goal and then you just BODY them at the right moment

[@clintonsmith9178]

The dude you thought looked like you is Nic Natinui (Nic Nat). He's a fucking monster and a superstar. 6'7" 235lbs quick, athletic, strong and has a nasty streak (which I love! Lol). Check out his highlights. Amazing

[@OrdinaryFridge]

Clinton Smith you are an old man watching YT you brokie. You cannot be swearing like that

[@yabelegang]

@@OrdinaryFridge wtf u talking about he can do what he wants

[@tomfry3576]

​@@OrdinaryFridge he can say what he wants to fckn say bro, chill 😂

[@tomfry3576]

You need to hand pass, yiu can't throw the ball. 18 players each side on the oval.......you need to bounce the ball every 15 metres while carrying it. If you mark (catch) the ball it's a free kick to you. There is a start for you.......they wear mouthguards, but no other protection

[@kellyr2681]

They bounce the ball for the same reason basketball does. It creates turn over opportunities and adds a level of difficulty. AFL is nothing like Rugby, but NFL was a direct evolution from Rugby. Aussie Rules Football is the oldest Codified Football in the world. It has been around since the 1850's.

[@gamortie]

Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti is the aboriginal player in black & red who was a master of the rundown scragging

[@On_Sacred_Ground]

Best sport in the world..!!! Go LIONS!! 🦁

[@GardeningAnimalsAndFishing]

AFL players are the single greatest athletes in the world. They have greater stamina then Soccer player, equal or better vertical then Basketball players, better hand and foot skills then an NFL wide receiver. The pure brutality of Rugby players and the speed of track and field competitors. AFL players are seriously unrivalled. Just look up the training routine of Travis Boak of Port Adelaide Football Club.

[@jsegal8385]

Pat McAfee ex NFL player interviews Mason Cox, a 6'10''ex basketball player from Texas who came to Australia 6 or 7 years to break into the Australian Football League (AFL) which he did. He's played just over a 100 games in the top tier competition. He;s not the best but he is good, solid player. The interview is good and you will learn a lot...The players average 6'2'', run around 9 to 12 miles a game and probably re the best conditioned athletes

[@clemnunn3832]

Mate you have what a full game to appreciate what is going on 😊

[@alienj272]

The definition of insane lol. What a crazy exciting sport to watch.

[@alicethompson1385]

Lol you know your gunna have a bad day getting hit by these guys!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 #welcometoAFLFOOTYmate!

[@binnsky2786]

These are the best legal tackles and bumps, there are a lot of videos showing the... less legal ones which may interest you lmao. Modern AFL has a big emphasis on protecting the head (and rightly so), the AFL doesn't want to promote the hits that knock people out on their channel but you can find them out there. Check out the What is AFL video from the same channel as this video for a good quick rundown of the rules. Also if you're a fan of NFL check out Top 50 Marks All-time for some people getting Mossed Something that's not mentioned in the rules video however is that Aussie Rules football, although very free flowing, is a game of free kicks and stoppages (ball ups and throw ins). Every catch from a kick and every foul is a free kick. If you tackle someone who's holding the ball and they've had prior opportunity to get rid of it it's a free kick to the tackler. That's why a lot of these chase down tackles are in this video. Although not being as brutal, if you pull someone down to the ground who's trying to run away from you it's a free kick for "holding the ball" so they're important. If you're looking for individual player highlights the guy you said looks like you with the dreads was a great player before injury. Look up Nic Natinui and keep and eye on the scoreboard because he kicks some game winners I feel like although NFL has pads, it just leads to the tackler throwing the heads into people's jaws which is hella dangerous so they got some tough mfs over there. Great reaction, looking forward to watching you learn about one of the greatest sports in the world :)

[@madlaugher3300]

I keep watching people react to Australia and I’m just now realising that’s it’s the most goated country to the outside world

[@robertcurtis1525]

completely different game...its a beautiful game

[@michaelmasters2980]

you have to bounce the ball every fifteen meters and to score we have four post on each side so if u get it through the big sticks its 6 points and if u get between the big post and little post its 1 point

[@willem8820]

Rugby is closer to American football than AFL, watch the vid 'what is AFL?' and comments can help after if you still got questions. also subbed for more AFL reactions

[@gamortie]

11:47 Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti - possibly the best recent exponent of the run down scragging

[@jackelliott2806]

yes, you do have to bounce the ball, you have to bounce it roughly every ten-fifteen meters. you have to bounce it so that you have to concentrate on bouncing the ball, and getting tackled at the same time to add pressure.

[@maxrussell7364]

I wish people would get the 15 metres(not meters) rule right.You can not run more than 15 metres without bouncing the ball but as long as you bounce it anywhere within that 15 metres you are OK.

[@TheStarcruiser]

Russell Richards chasing down Jake Lloyd was SPECTACULAR!!!👍

[@pauljarvis446]

It's nothing like Rugby.

[@chriskelly9476]

In rugby and American football, attacking players are faced with a wall of defenders they have to get the ball past. AFL doesn't have that. There are defenders of course, but the ground is huge and defenders could be spread out all over the place. There's a lot more space to run, so it would be too easy for the fastest player to tuck the ball under his arm and bolt up the length of the ground. Making them bounce the ball every 15 metres (which is an approximation, as its impossible to accurately measure during play) simply adds that level of difficulty and probably slows them down a little, too. It'd be hard to maintain control of a bouncing ball while sprinting as fast as you can.

[@peterbath5424]

Lovely reaction. Of course, it was the best bumps/tackles, so will not see many goals (worth, 6 points). They have to bounce the ball every ~15 steps (measured using "gut" feel from the umpire). Stops a play just sprinting all the way down the ground (the length of the ground is about 180 yards). For extra info, they play the game on a cricket "oval". Hence they are sort of round.

[@goonbuggy1135]

Bounce every 15 washing machines. If you get caught while doing it. Its dropping the ball.

[@danielbrough5796]

That dude you wanted to know who he is? That’s Anthony McDonald-Tipingwuti (Walla) and he just retired 2 days ago. Massive blow for my team but he was a great player for us

[@bradwalkeden306]

To give you more insight of the rules of AFL please react to this video What is AFL, Aussie Rules Explained kzbin.info/www/bejne/jn69io2ZpKaWi5I

[@harpermcalpineblack8573]

Hip and shoulder are legal. Elbows aren't. If you don't have your elbow tucked in when you hit a player you'll probably be penalized, rough or dangerous play.

[@louislynge]

Spot on mate AFL is Aussie Rules! They can run up to 15 Miles each game. There is no offsides so it looks messy, but it is an interesting sport to watch. Check out the rules or greatest "marks", big tackles are just brutal. Every 10 meters or so you need to bounce the ball, this stopps players just running from one end to the other. You can't tackle too high or too low (below knee or above shoulder).

[@Josh92SA]

Miles? You mean 15 meters lmao

[@stuartedwards6869]

Nothing like Rugby whatsoever.....Lacrosse is closer to Aussie Rules Footy. 2Hrs on the field each week....full 360 degree motion,,non-stop 30min quarters. With 200 to 250 pound guys running 10miles per games whilst getting bumped, tackled, scragged all game. They kick the ball like a QB throwing it...and they sometimes catch the ball by standing on the shoulders of others (teammates & opponents) jumping for the same catch. Teams score around 80-120pts per games..so lots of scoring (goals)...and it's been around for over 150 years (before NFL, NBA etc)...Best sport on the Planet

[@worldin60secshorts]

AFL is like a combination of basketball, volleyball, football and rugby. You gotta bounce, serve, kick, pass and run hella miles all in one game

[@scottymorrice5416]

You have to bounce the ball every 15 meters (otherwise you get penalised for carrying the ball) it's legal to tackle or side bump an opponent from the shoulders to the hip area when they are in possession of the ball! It's legal to jump on somebody's back when you are catching (speccy or marking) the ball! In rugby you can only pass the ball backwards where as in Aussie Rules it can go anywhere! We have a few names for it here & that Footy, Football or Aerial Ping Pong! If you get the ball (by kicking it) through the center posts you get 6 points & if you kick it between 1 of the center posts & the smaller outer posts it's only 1 point!

[@markchmielewski4309]

Maaaate! Welcome to the world of AFL, the most exciting game in the world. The single biggest sport in Australia and it’s roughly half way through the 2022 season now Anyhow check out What is AFL The best goals The best marks You haven’t seen anything yet! Oh btw I live in Australia and have just subbed to your Chanel Keep up the good work bloke

[@aedt3]

11:41 the aboriginal fella who is really fast is anthony mcdonald tipungwuti! you should react to his 2019 highlights

[@darrencoulthard6140]

You have to bounce the ball ever 10 yards when you run with it. The point of the game is to kick it between the two big stick ( goal posts ). This is worth 6 point's if the ball goes between the big post and little post it's worth 1 point ,called a behind.

[@kevinbacon509]

This game is over 150 years old. You should check out what is AFL

[@midslam]

Byron Picket on Rhett Biglands. Greatest hit of all time, bar none. Pickett was a killer.

[@gamortie]

14:47 that was the tackle that won a grand final

[@seanelijah3419]

every kick is strategic if they mark it it's a free kick from where they marked it and who ever had the ball must go forward without losing possession with kicking and hand balling with a closed fist if you lose possession it goes into free play and anyone with the ball can be tackled ifthe take a big mark on the shoulders and don't mark it correctly then it's a free kick to the opposition most likely for push in the back which you can't do there are basically 3 main positions The back line ( defence) The Mid Field (centre) The Forward Line (offense) that's only the basics it's a really hard game and extremely complex it's so hard to win a PREMIERSHIP

[@msee383]

Every 15 yards/meters they have to pass the ball or bounce and re-catch the ball themselves

[@JacquelineScholes-oq1rn]

Your only watching tackles, there are also awesome marks that we call speckies where they jump on each other to catch and goals where they kick between the posts to score

[@YaMomsOyster]

Don’t worry, they get a mouth guard each and a slice of Orange at half time😂

[@sebastianliggieri8411]

If you're running with the ball you have to bounce it every 15 metres (16 yards)

[@Yumm...]

Awesome reaction! You did pick up on a lot about the game in just a tackles video. These are all legal hits so there are far more brutal hits check out “AFL Biggest Hits Part 1” it’s only 4 minutes. Full of a lot of hits tho. The game is also really skilful you should react to “Eddie Betts the Pied Piper” he’s a small forward (one of the smallest on the field) and super skilful, the angles he kicks from is unreal. Also check out “Nic Natanui Insane Highlight Reel” the guy you said looks like you. He’s Fijian Australian 6ft8 and agile and an all round great person.

[@jodiegooch2746]

You are right I’m Australian

[@markpaweena781]

Game has been around 150 years. Dustin Martin and Eddie betts are worth a watch for some star players

Look up: "Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti playing footy".

[@inout3513]

Its like a corss between rugby and irish gaelic football

[@adrienneeast1013]

it's actually an oval shape. yes you can tackle so long as between shoulders and knee's, no pads only mouth guard. the game used to be a lot rougher, AFL is NOT rugby the rules are different, look up AFL rules posted by the AFL. You must bounce or pass or kick every 16 yards. Kick between the 2 large posts are 6 points hitting one of the 2 large posts (called a goal) or through the small post is 1 point (called a behind). when they jump and grab the ball it's called a mark. The shortest player is about 5 foot 8 the tallest is well over 6 foot (basketball size). 18 players on the field and 4 on the interchange bench. 4 quarters of 20min and the field is almost twice the size of an NFL field with a fooball stadium able to hold and does hold over 100,000 supporters.

[@rubensubnaticagaming1234]

In rugby if you bounce the ball it’s a knock on but bouncing it in AFL. There’s a rule we’re you can only run 15 steps so if you bounce it the number of your steps go back to 0

[@baronvonjerch]

If you wanna see scoring I highly recommend the AFL Goals of the Decade video

[@zaynecattthefortnitegod6589]

every 15m you have to bounce the ball

[@jeremyhunter6008]

Look up Nic Nat that’s the big black dude

[@shaunhaas4784]

You can watch games on Fox footy next season starts March I think

[@pennelp7770]

its not a start stop game its mostly free flowing unlike other sports. i recommend you watch passages of play not just 3 sec clips to get a feel

[@MaureenBrown-i7c]

The tackles you are watching are called a hip & shoulder charge & are legal

[@TeresaMolinari-xg5wx]

You have to bounce the ball so you don't give a way a free kick and when the ball goes through the 2 sticks in the middle thats a goal

[@Alex.The.Lionnnnn]

It's very very very similar to Rugby in the sense that it's absolutely nothing like Rugby in any way, shape or form. 😂😂😂

[@magicmilsandmaeareawesome7575]

Bouncing the ball is to restart the amount of steps you've done cause you only have afu steps

[@Ducatirati]

Rugby and soccor , have a off side rule , must pass defender with ball , but Aussie rules , that ball sitting in the air is a hospital ball , yep bounce every 15 meters , but you now know that . R

[@Spankedchicken]

React to What is AFL video.

[@julianshalders6047]

Completely different rules to rugby dude , yes you must bounce every roughly 12 steps , the rules are pretty much simple , alot of players are getting serious concussion, can't play if taken off for 2weeks. One goal between taller posts is 6 pts, 😊

[@markpaweena781]

Try what is afl. Then best marks, top goals, then know your enemy

[@WayneHewitt-q5r]

If you get caught with the ball and you had the chance to get rid of it you a penalised saying holding the ball

[@peterhansen2128]

You have to bounce it every 15 yards

Head hits are NOT ON. Some of these top players will run 21 Kms in a game.

Tackling can only be legal if it is between the shoulders and waist.
