Canadian’s First Experience at an Aussie Football Match

[@Glzmo]

Was i the only Australian watching this Screaming at the screen telling him to put sauce on his sausage roll lol

[@lightbearer313]

No you weren't. It was a horrifying experience for us viewers to see him eating "naked" food.

[@paquitagillis901]

OMG Yes screaming Sauce! bloody dead horse mate!! Pie without sauce is sacrilegious!!

[@RobertGreeley]

I gotta be honest though if the food needs to be eaten with sauce, is it really that good? Like you wouldn't but A1 or ketchup on a nice steak if it's done right!

[@kobios]

@@RobertGreeleyDon’t question it, just put the damn sauce on next time dawg.

[@Glzmo]

@@RobertGreeley I get what your trying to say. However every food gets flavoured. Even your example you had to specify a "nice" bit of steak which I'm assuming is referring to the fact not all steaks do deserve to be eaten naked. plus you will most likely find that there is some sort of rub or season that it would have been cooked or prepared with. trust me were not having a go. were just saying next time you have a sausage roll Australia recommends adding sauce lol

[@fire_titan5735]

Good work mate love that ya had a crack. I laughed at "117 to 0" 😂

Wasn't the biggest crowd because it's an interstate team and Marvel only holds 50K or so. Go to the MCG with two Melbourne clubs with 90K and the noise is insane! And eating the pie and sausage roll without sauce is criminal haha

117 to 0. Ha ha. Love it! It was 1 goal (worth 6 points), 1 behind (point) = 7 points. Love seeing O/S visitors getting into AFL. Well done mate.

[@RobertGreeley]

Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed!!

[@michaelfink64]

Nice video, Robert. Glad you enjoyed the experience. Just to clarify some of the things you mentioned (I suspect you picked a lot of this up during he game, but since you didn't mention it in the video, here you go): The scores are displayed as goals, behinds, points. Goals = 6 points, behinds = 1 point. In the game you watched, Carton scored 9 goals, 11 behinds, so that is 9 x 6 = 54 + 11 = 65 points. There are actually 10 umpires on the ground: 4 field umpires (1 inside each 50 m arc and 2 across midfield), 4 boundary umpires (2 either side) and 2 goal umpires (1 at either end). You don't have to catch (we would say mark) the ball inside the 50 m arc to attempt to score a goal. As long as you kick it through the goals (between the goal posts) without the ball touching any other player, it is a goal. This can be from a mark but also from general play and can be kicked from inside or outside (obviously this is rarer) the 50 m arc. The umpire whistling all the time relates to the fact that the whistle is blown every time a mark is taken, since the player can choose to take an unimpeded kick or play on, as well as when free kicks are awarded. Love the way you got stuck into the food. A tip, if I may: try having a sausage roll (if you can be bothered trying it again) or pie with tomato sauce (ketchup). It sets off the taste nicely. Interesting that you thought everything was reasonably priced. I always think it is pretty expensive. Things must cost a lot in Canada. If you get the chance, I recommend trying to get to a game at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG or just "the G", as locals know it). It has quite a different feel to Marvel Stadium. It is more historic (although rebuilt many times over the years, so a bit like the ancient family axe which as had three new heads and four new handles!) and much larger, with a capacity of 100,000. If you want to brush up on the laws of the game, here are a couple of "What is AFL" videos: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jn69io2ZpKaWi5I, kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5C2opmEg8ubo68

[@dhilandass7986]

@MichaelRogers-et8dq that's not the point. The point is that it can hold up to 100,000+ people not that it averages 100,000+ every game played there.

[@JusGiveMeMyMoney]

@@dhilandass7986 yeah no shit but literally never happens s

[@melissasmith1144]

The sausage roll was dry because you needed tomato sauce, the prices of the food and alcohol are considered expensive. Next time go to the MCG, you definitely need a jacket. The scoreboard reads, first number is the number of goals so you times that by six the second number is the number of behind and that is times by one you add that together and that’s the total score that you will see at the end of the scoreboard. You need that many umpires because the oval is so big. Have fun in Australia.

If you don’t know how there divided to the top 8 it’s based on w/l ratio and percentage a win is worth 4 points and you don’t lose any for losses so Let’s say 8 teams are tied with 44 points at the end of the season (11 wins 12 losses) it would be based on percentage and also something to know this year had 25 rounds but each team plays 23 matches for the season hope this helps!

Mate, whenever you buy a meat pie or sausage roll, never forget the 'dead horse' (tomato sauce), it's traditional. So glad that you went for my team of Carlton but sorry we didn't come through for you this time. Tomorrow is a big match against our greatest rivals in Collingwood at the MCG. If you're still in town, not one to miss. The atmoshere will be much greater than this was. Carlton and Collingwood are two suburbs within Melbourne and two of the oldest clubs, along with the others who started off tge league initially. It may have been helpful to look up the basic rules of the game, especially in regards to scoring which would have helped you out tremendously. There needs to be umpires around the ground due to so much action that goes on between players behind play. The game doesn't flow like it used to in much earlier times. There used to be much more kicking and less handballs. This has definitely had an effect on the flow of the game. Too much fumbling of the ball and not enough kicking involved now. With more umpires on the ground, they get to see much more and will stop play on most occasions instead of letting it play on. Go the Blues for tomorrow!🇦🇺💙

[@RobertGreeley]

Thanks for the tip!

[@kayelle8005]

Canberra is the politest country I’ve ever visited. Aussies are friendly if you go to another game ask anyone sitting near you about the rules and they’ll happily explain. Tomato sauce for the win! Go Bombers 🖤 ❤ 🖤

[@bishgroundwork3089]

Dude great video. I just hope you went to Pies v Carlton at the mcg . That is the real experience.

[@RobertGreeley]

I caught a game at MCG not that one though! Thanks for the kind words!

[@1mmickk]

Thank you for coming all this way to see us. Im sorry you didnt find the tomato sauce that makes that food edible. At least it didnt rain. Now go and google Wayne Harmes bringing back the ball from 3 yards into the crowd to beat Collingwood.

[@RobertGreeley]

Oh it did rain during my time just not on that night 😂

[@douglasmace7703]

Next vid should be Carlton v Collingwood or Essendon if you're around next season. My wife is Canadian and now she is an AFL FANATIC! Carn the Blues!

[@RobertGreeley]

No way!! Awesome

[@SwampCityRadio1974]

i note that some advice has been provided regarding the consumption of meat pies and appropriate condiments.

[@RobertGreeley]

Just a couple of times 😂

[@Lizalotte]

Yep you need to go to a Grand Final at the MCG. 98000 plus crowd, that'll get your juices going!😂

[@RobertGreeley]

I bet!

[@wnood]

Wow a nine for a four and twenty pie - thats a high scrore! That brand is ok for every day cheap type pies and sausage rolls. To say youve eaten an Aussie meat pie and/or sausage roll you really need to try one at a pub or a home style bakery. They generally make their own and youll be scoring them 99. So glad you enjoyed the match!

[@RobertGreeley]

Noted!

[@antipodean1233]

Tips for you while in OZ...Drive on the left ..walk on the left.. tomato sauce on all meat pies and sausage rolls, smile and greet strangers, have fun and explore as much as you can 😊

[@RobertGreeley]

Thanks for the tips!

[@andrewhowden6198]

One goal between the two big sticks is worth 6 points, one miss or behind between either one of the small sticks and big sticks is worth 1 point. The ball has to be kicked by the scoring end’s team through the two big sticks to be a goal, however if it is touched, tapped through or kicked through the two big sticks by an opposition defender, it is only worth 1 point. So 117 points to 0, is actually 1 goal 1 behind = 7 plays 0.

The largest note is $100. It is smaller than American notes. Its a soft plastic so no problem handling them

[@MrCharliemcgoo]

Canadian player for Sydney Swans was a superstar Mike Pyke, he won a Premiership with them.

[@RobertGreeley]

Awesome!

[@lifewithalistair.]

Nothing beats an AFL match at the MCG.

[@RobertGreeley]

I have a video coming from there as well

[@FranticMonster11]

WTF? straight raw doggin that sausage roll and pie.....Mate you need sauce. hope you enjoyed Aussie football

[@RobertGreeley]

It was great!

[@libertyordeaf]

You probably know this already but there was a Canadian national rugby player named Mike Pyke who played 110 AFL games with Sydney going back about 10-15 years. Also an American (Mason Cox) playing for Collingwood. Hopefully we see more coming in in the future.

[@RobertGreeley]

Be super cool!

[@Jules-zi5qf]

a big welcome to our Canuck cousin. have a good time. enjoy yourself. Cheers mate.

[@RobertGreeley]

Thank you!

[@HarryTheTrainchaser2024]

As being a melbournien my self when you though it was 117 points it was 1 goal and 1 point and the total score was 7 points when you kick through the middle it’s 6 points if you kick through the sides it’s a point. Loved the video.

[@RobertGreeley]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@joshuanewbould2107]

Pattrick Cripps is captain for Carlton. Plus you can take a shot at goal from anywhere on the ground. 5:29

[@RobertGreeley]

Thanks for the info!

[@joshuanewbould2107]

@@RobertGreeley All good.

[@shux422]

Good on ya for going into the game 'blind'. Even knowing some of the rules & scoring details would have taken away the authenticity of your introduction to the game. None of the things you mentioned were silly for a genuine first timer. As you were chewing on that sausage roll the first thing I thought was "he'll say it's dry!" 😂 Ha ha correct. Yeah you gotta have tomato sauce. Also - you're right about the severe reduction in heavy hits these days. The game's lawmakers have ensured that is largely a thing of the past. It's upset many fans, but they are petrified of concussions and the legal ramifications down the track. The true big hits of Aussie Rules football can only be found on KZbin these days. Good onya for travelling to Straya and enjoying a game.

Love this, thanks so much for the kind words and added info!

you should go to a hawthorn game at the mcg against another vic side

Crumbs you went full immersion!

[@RobertGreeley]

I did!

[@Ash1959]

There are no rules associated with those blue arcs. They are there for viewer experience, to give an indication that a shot from within is often within scoring range.

[@RobertGreeley]

Fair enough!

[@williamsmith5514]

So the scoring reads like this ; The first number for a goal ,which is six points. The second number reads as a single point . The third number reads as the total points total. You are welcome in Geraldton , West Australia.

[@RobertGreeley]

Thank you!

If you're confused, just turn to the person next to you and ask them to explain it.

For sure but I wanted to try and learn on my own!
