Canadian Reacts: AFL Best of the Decade 2010-2019: Goals

[@off1k]

Regarding the ball and out of bounds, the ball has to be COMPLETELY over the line. So if the boundary umpire deems just a fraction of the ball ON the line then it's in play.

[@davehocking4091]

Yeh he was bang on with the ball having to be out, that melksham goal the ball was definitely out.

[@RemyBonnici]

Your understanding of a game you've only seen a few videos of is pretty impressive.

[@EamonnReacts]

Thanks I'm really trying to get into it so I'm trying to take in as much info as possible.

[@gamortie]

13:19 in this goal, Didak uses a less common type of kick called a torpedo punt, where the ball is held slightly askew, and the kick imparts a rotation around the axis of travel - much like a quarterback’s spiral pass.

[@macdac9861]

The last goal by Lance Buddy Franklin ( who appeared nearly as much as Betts) was the best for mine. How great it was may not be obvious to the untrained eye, but he basically declared to every other male on the planet what’s your strength speed? Agility? endurance? Size? Strength? Skill? I can match or beat you on all fronts. Greatest athlete I’ve ever seen and yes the other goal he kicked was 70 metres…..off one step!

9:58 Those particular jerseys are made for the Indigenous Round in the AFL. Every team has a different design every year and most of the time, a player from that team will design the jersey

[@canberrapear7219]

If you're not aware yet, Canada has a pretty strong amateur league. And in August, Toronto (Etobicoke) will be hosting the Transatlantic Cup, with national men's and women's teams from North America, South America and Europe.

[@Kommpact-44]

Loving the content mate I'd highly recommend checking out this year's Sir Doug Nicholls round jersey's they are the indigenous design ones like that Adelaide one you liked with the crow on it keep it up dude! 🙂👍

[@suemoore984]

The curved lines you see at each end are 50 metre lines, meaning that they indicate 50 metres from the goal posts. This means that the field is at least 150 metres long. AFL prescribes minimum length and width, so, if you watch a few matches at different grounds, you might notice different sizes. This can give a home ground advantage, especially if the visiting team is used to a wider field

[@user-bf8ud9vt5b]

You're correct, the player can be out of bounds but the ball has to remain in play. To be 'out of bounds', the entire ball has to be over the line. There are controversies where the ball looks to be out of bounds but the umpire doesn't call it.

[@shmick6079]

“Banana” (or “check-side” in South Australia) kick is off the outside of the boot and curves away from you.

[@Mirrorgirl492]

The television commentary was so good, just a few short years ago.

[@bjbolger]

Gotta love how you're getting into our great game! The design on the guernsey you like is from an Indigenous round, also known as the Sir Doug Nicholls round, which is over the next two weekends. The first game is being played in Darwin right now (Thursday night) between Gold Coast Suns and Geelong Cats. Each team has its own design for these rounds. Looking forward to watching you learn more about AFL. You're already picking it up very quickly, and quite intuitively to boot!

[@andrewnieves3417]

Darcy Byrne-Jones just kicked one of the greatest goals of the year (maybe decade) this past weekend to secure one of the most insane comeback wins I've seen in 30 years

[@tobybillings3681]

It was a soccer goal from 5 metres not one of the goals of the year

[@JeffBurn-b1i]

Fun fact the longest recorded AFL kick was Ben Graham of the Geelong Cats, who kicked a massive 92 metres or 100 yards at the Sydney Cricket Ground. For memory in 1994.

[@off1k]

Search "Eddie Betts The Pied Piper" for his best highlights package imo. Shows a bit of everything, not just goals so some great marks and tackling pressure as well.

[@rafaelandres23]

Disappointed in how you didn’t notice Lance Franklin in this, was in it just as much as Betts if not more. Gotta check him out, top 10 of all time!

[@shmick6079]

That one where the kick was made out of bounds was an umpire’s error. Should have been called out of bounds.

[@Machetekills31]

Eddie Betts has all the keys to unlock miracles .

[@Leebo13]

His talent deserved far more success than he got.

[@MAKelly2121]

The term "banana' is a type of kick used to get curve on the ball, usually when on a tight angle to goal

[@metalman1019]

aspect of Gaelic football and Australian rules are similar as Gaelic football is one of the games drawn from in its creation.

[@tcullen3684]

Yeah, a banana, it bends!

[@gamortie]

20:32 the ball curves off the boot, like a banana

[@joeyrobertson9523]

15:41. The ball was out of bounds the ref/umpire just made the wrong call. Sometimes when its close they just get it wrong haha

[@Honkersification]

Good on you mate. Check out so-called Macedonian Marvel, Peter Daicos from the Collingwood football club.

[@shmick6079]

Ah damn, your favourite one should not have been allowed because he threw the ball in the air 😂

[@off1k]

No he didn't, if he or anyone else had caught the ball again before he kicked it or it fell to the ground then yes it would be throwing. It's basically the same as dropping the ball on your foot, you could say he had a high ball drop ;)

[@shmick6079]

@@off1k wasn’t a drop though, he threw it in the air. The error was confirmed by one of the umpires on the radio the week after the game.

[@off1k]

@@shmick6079 It technically was a drop, it deliberately went straight from his hand to his foot. it didn't land on the ground or anywhere else, that is a key factor. If someone "fumbles" the ball while being tackled when running, it's holding the ball (considering prior opportunity) but if fumbled onto the foot then it's a kick even though it wasn't deliberately "dropped" to the foot, it technically was a drop, it's play-on. And that umpire is wrong, one umpires opinion doesn't make it so, plus it did get goal of the year. If it was so contentious it would not have got goal of the year.

[@shmick6079]

@@off1k the AFL let it go because they loved the “theatre” of it. This is not a secret.

Most players can kick with both feet but they have a preferred or dominant foot they prefer.

[@Prsboy78]

MCG is 525 feet long by 453 feet wide. The goals are 7 yards apart. As for bouncing the balls me and my mates used to walk to school bouncing a footy.

[@MAKelly2121]

Is there a reason you are using imperial measurements? He's Canadian, not American

[@phillipevans9414]

@@MAKelly2121 . When the width of the goals was codified was pre metric system, and the MCG has been a sports (cricket) ground from at least the 1850's. Cheers!

[@EamonnReacts]

To be fair Canada is a bit weird. While we do officially use the metric system we use inches, feet, pounds, etc in daily life. It's like a mishmash of the two.

[@sebastianliggieri8411]

You like Navy Blue. Adopt Carlton as your team. Rich history. Success and tied with most premierships (championship trophy) with 16 with two other teams. You have seen plenty of Carlton goals in this video. I hope you choose us. We have got over 100k members. Along with 3 other clubs I believe

[@user-mg1p]

I follow both NRL and AFL.. The diehards of the NRL will mislead you that NRL is Australia's biggest football code! If you look at the history of just the last fifty years of crowds. The AFL is more than double! Tv ratings are people who just watch days of our lives or what ever is on! Going to the game's is the real indicator! No final of any kind just a club match on a cold Melbourne winter's day in 1958 100.000 people Collingwood v Melbourne Demon's.. And most league fan's go on about state of origin...They got that from the AFL! The AFL stopped it because there is nothing bigger than your 150 year-old club Or winning the premiership. The club fan's in AFL didn't like thier players injured either over artificial line's on a map! Origin is only a thing because Queensland didn't have a league that got crowds. Just cars around the ground at suburban grounds! But when they copied the AFL's origin Brisbane finally got 40.000 back in the eighties a small crowd by AFL standards NSW didn't take it seriously till Queensland kept beating them. So it's a big deal now! Just letting you know the real truth! You won't get it from diehards! Like i said look at the crowds and memberships..tv is about $$$$ only ... social media is Recent BS... fan's!

[@fernugle8466]

You have to use both sides of your body

[@Mal-nourished-again]

Do yourself a favour....get a footy...a ball. Or improv with nfl or rugby ball, and go to a park with a mate and kick it. And kick it again. For hours. You wont regret it. Maybe shoot video of it.

[@EamonnReacts]

That's something I may try out deep into the future. I've never been much of a ball sport player though so it'd probably be pretty hilarious to watch. Can't even remember the last time I've kicked a ball or even thrown one. Hockey all the way through.
