1:08 - “The first VFL/AFL game to be played outside of Australia”……I wasn’t aware the SGC was located outside Australia 😅😅😅

[@michaelfink64]

Nice video. A few corrections: Corio is pronounced with the emphasis on the i and Manuka is pronounced with the emphasis on the first syllable. Australian states outside Victoria are not "outside of Australia" (much as we Victorians would like to think that the only decent things in Australia are in Victoria - hence the "National" Gallery of Victoria). The Shane Warne Stand is the new name of the Great Southern Stand, not the replaced Ponsford, Members and Olympic Stands that were built for the 2006 Commonwealth games.

[@GODEES77]

Spot on. You’d think when you title a video the history of VFL/AFL stadiums you would 1) check what they called and how they were pronounced 2) fact check what you are saying and 3) watch the video yourself and listen to what you are saying especially when referring to games outside Victoria as outside Australia. I didn’t even watch the rest of the video. Crap video

[@TBoneTony]

The East Melbourne Cricket Ground was not only used by Essendon but also the home ground for University Football Club when they were in the VFL between 1908 to 1914. University Football Club also used the MCG for their home games too on a few occasions during their short history.

[@stiubhart5124]

East Melbourne Cricket Ground (1908 - 1910) , Melbourne Cricket Ground (1911 - 1914).

[@Seahorse20]

Don’t Richmond exist. No mention of them.

[@sliat1981]

The 1900 grand final was played there

[@regthorne9021]

Playing interstate doesn’t mean playing outside Australia

[@BDub2024]

As an Eagles fan it was fascinating to play at the WACA. A small venue it would be packed to the rafters. Ground was extremely quick and hard leading to exciting night matches. Our 8 WAFL grounds didn't have cricket pitches and Perth is based on sand, so to suddenly see AFL on a muddy WACA pitch felt quite bizarre.

[@FootballSirens]

ABSOLUTELY CLASS!!!!! Waited to see a video like this for so long, keep up the elite work Cardy! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@CARDMAN22]

Glad you loved it Sirens!!

[@UCATTFooty]

This was unbelievable mate, fantastic video

[@CARDMAN22]

Cheers a ton mate!

[@CARDMAN22]

After you’ve watched the vid, please give you thoughts down below! Would you want a video similar to this in the next couple weeks?

[@aflnewsonyt]

Yes Please!

[@KotmGojiSolosW]

Nice video

[@cameronskellams5670]

When Australian Football was first established in 1858, the Melbourne Cricket Club prohibited any games on the MCG because they feared it would damage the turf. So there you go.

[@footyboy4388]

Yes

[@iggyblitz8739]

Good video but why do you keep saying outside of Australia when it should be outside of Victoria ?

[@TheGreatLordDufus]

Good video, but a couple of points. Bellerive was not Tasmania's second VFL/AFL ground, but the third after North Hobart Oval (the national round, and then a few Fitzroy games in the early 90s) and York Park. And I think the footage when talking about Bellerive was actually York Park.

[@footyflamez7455]

Such good quality. Catching up to Footy A2Z in that quality. Amazing ❤❤❤

[@CARDMAN22]

Cheers mate

[@Thediamondduck11]

5:56 saw you mentioned that all Friday night games between 1984-1986 'strangely' only feature North Melbourne. North pioneered the whole concept.

[@aussie.wheeljack]

Great video, great information but didn’t know Sydney was out of Australia 😂 1:08 , but still overall amazing work cardy

[@CARDMAN22]

Literally the only mistake ffs lol

[@aussie.wheeljack]

@@CARDMAN22 it was still an amazing video cardy, you clearly done your research and I think we all knew what you meant it was just a bit funny to hear that sentence

[@largechips]

@@CARDMAN22 You used footage from the infamous "thirteen" game for Bellerive oval when that was from York Park.

[@noidea26]

@@CARDMAN22you also misnamed the redeveloped Ponsford/Members/Olympic Stands as the Shane Warne Stand. The Great Southern Stand got renamed after Warne. Good video though.

[@dangllz7431]

Great vid cardy you deserve lots of love for this. Great effort mate!

[@GODEES77]

Great video???? Refers to to interstate stadiums as outside Australia and can’t even pronounce some correctly. The biggest one was referring to the new ponsford stand as the Shane Warne Stand. But hey let’s not being accurate get in the way of pumping out a video

[@Mashwoz]

Adelaide hills stadium isn't in the middle of nowhere! It's in a town called Mount Barker, its literally comes off the freeway to Melbourne, or back. Lots of towns nearby, car/cruise clubs love going around there, and Hahndorf has the best German food ever! If that's not your thing then there's lots of other fancy food places around, and good booze. It's closer to Adelaide CBD than Ballarat is the Melbourne, and not too cold for you guys, either!

[@ACDZ123]

It's 33 kms from the Adelaide cbd.. isn't it part of the metro area still?

[@JPhipps16]

This is class Cardy, really turned out well

[@CARDMAN22]

Cheers Chappy

[@robloxadventureswithtim6055]

The ground in the Hills ins't "in the middle of nowhere" its in a big town called Mt Barker which has a population of 39,627 people.

[@lukemcmahon8621]

Great video and interesting video Cardy! Really well made

[@GODEES77]

Well made? Great video???? Refers to to interstate stadiums as outside Australia and can’t even pronounce some correctly. The biggest one was referring to the new ponsford stand as the Shane Warne Stand. But hey let’s not being accurate get in the way of pumping out a video

[@TimothyFouracre]

Nice video, did you also know that North moved to Coburg in 1965 but it only lasted one season

[@robvegas9354]

Great Video! Optus stadium in Perth is absolutely insane but nothing beats some footy at the MCG

[@BDub2024]

I think AFL should put more of an effort into guaranteeing AFL in NZ at Wellington and in the future Auckland. I think promotes more support in NZ and I'm sure NZ govt would support to a certain extent if it added to tourism. I'd be fascinated to see practice match in Singapore (which I think has moveable stands) even if crowds are minimal. The video hammered home the point that Nowhereroos have messed up and turned their backs on Gold Coast, Canberra and Tasmania, only to return half hearted.

[@thestrangercreator4376]

Amazing video cardy! Looks like it would take a while to make this! Great job 😊😊 So hyped for footy season to start!

[@msf-p1g]

Great Video Cardy, i reckon each club should play at least 1 game at a suburban ground for a smaller game because it would be interesting having a game at a suburban ground and it will definetely be interesting to see a game in Adelaide Hills!

[@CARDMAN22]

Yeah that would be really cool

[@thecatmansports4431]

Awsome vid Cardy Keep up the great work

[@monty8322]

Great video. Good to see a big history of all the grounds.

[@aussiethingz]

Love these ideas

[@MrLogic77]

wow great video, very good editing

[@JustKoz038]

Incredible Video Cardy! The effort you put into this is amazing and definitely deserves views and some more subs

[@Fridge83]

Bruce Stadium in Canberra hosted a West Coast - Fitzroy game in 1995 too.

[@AFLGOATHQ]

Incredible video Cardy, It was well made

[@CARDMAN22]

Thanks a lot mate

[@CentreHalfForward]

Amazing Video Cardy! I wish I could get this much comments on my videos. But this is such good editing it deserves it! I rate it 10/10! Keep it up and hopefully you will get the 24k!

[@CARDMAN22]

Cheers mate

[@CentreHalfForward]

All good mate! Hopefully will try to attend your goal kicking challenge this year!

[@TBoneTony]

I call Docklands Stadium as Docklands Dome, or even the Docklands Meat Pie because of the roof being more like a Meat Pie lid that looks good enough to eat.

[@stevenwebb3634]

Last time I checked Sydney is part of Australia

[@kentgibbins]

North Hobart Oval was used for 4 games by Fitzroy in 1991-92, and also another in the 1950's, pre-dating both York Park and Bellerive.

[@stevendurick9441]

Excellent video, well put together and very informative. I do enjoy this type of content👍

[@wbadventures2025]

By far my fav vid you’ve made buddy

[@ramiromaia592]

I love Princes Park Carlton and TIO Stadium on Darwin, love the MCG too

[@gkavner]

I can report that Sydney is actually in Australia (1:09). In fact, the Australian accent you speak with comes from Sydney.

[@Code_breaker_]

Hey Cardman22, how about a video on forwards who starred for only 1 or 2 seasons ? ? ? Such as Jason Heatley 1997, Danny Delre 1992, Ross Ditchburn 1982 and Peter Bosustow 1981 & 82 and Warren Ralph 1984, Mark Williams (Hawks) 2005 & 06 and Jeff Farmer 2000 ? ? ? 18 02 2023

[@joelhibbard1482]

Great video cardy you must of put alot into making it!!!! being a power fan I love the adelaide oval so that's my favourite ground haha

[@GODEES77]

Clearly didn’t put enough effort in this one. Refers to interstate stadiums as outside Australia and can’t even pronounce some correctly. The biggest one was referring to the new ponsford stand as the Shane Warne Stand. But hey let’s not being accurate get in the way of pumping out a video

[@gusbenson8162]

Great Video Cardman, This something I’m very interested in.

[@Rockman_Halo]

The MCG was a great atmosphere but I’ve only been to one game and it was half capacity. Now I wanna go to Perth to see those lights

[@FlagheatBBL12]

I love in Albury! They sometimes play at Lavington Oval

[@therasicbrothers]

0:46 “The Daddy of The AFL” 😂 Sensational video!

[@sharps47]

10:57 that’s not Bellerive oval, that’s utas stadium.

[@holdingthebull]

This is amazing. I'm going to the gather round but only to the Adelaide Oval games. The other games would be interesting but watching 5 games in 3 days should be fun!

[@leighreganarblaster9852]

Lake side Stadium is a Football pitch and soccer pitch in home to South Melbourne FC

[@stormzy88]

My fav is def princess park still has the charm now just wish it was public! i wreckon they could still use if for small vic games such as if saints were versing GWS or something like that

[@victoriantransportvideos]

People can’t complain about GMHBA being a ground that favours Geelong. Most likely, your club parted ways with your home ground and now you share a ground with nothing permanently representing your team, just posters on the wall that are taken down after every game.

[@jonsant7232]

Excellent video but just one issue at about 1:10 and 3:10 you seem to think Melbourne is the only Australian city I live in Sydney and I'm pretty sure we have always been Australian although sometimes it feels like a different planet 😂 cheers mate

[@lachymiller]

5:52 saw the what

[@SormonAusPol]

I think my Mt Barker friends arn't going to be too happy about you calling their home the middle of nowhere.

[@benjobonjo]

5:57 that comment in the bottom right with north Melbourne hosting the only night games is because they were the team that originally wanted Friday night games and no other club wanted them. Sadly these days we struggle to get them but hopefully we can get them as often as we used to

[@CARDMAN22]

Fascinating

[@alexk7467]

Great to see you calling AAMI Stadium as it's former name, Football Park

[@goodoldozzy5731]

What about riverway stadium in Townsville. Pretty sure there has been afl games there

[@michaeljoshualewis538]

Awesome video I like the effort U put into this video.

Outside of Australia?

this is elite cardy! love these type of videos!

[@nvrcnfrm6225]

learnt alot here nice video

[@Aryan_Gupta11]

Some still call metricon stadium cararra stadium as it is the suburb that it's built in

[@courtneyekenberg1180]

let's gett cardy to 24k sjbs in 2 weeks he deserves it. Love ya vids. And I'd love to see you with roaming haz and I saw you in one of his new vids

[@TomthebombMusicBlocks]

Great insight. Cheers mate

[@AdrianHoliday]

North Hobart Oval was used by Fitzroy for a few games in the early 90s

[@krismallia5390]

Interstate games are not outside of Australia, wrong scoreboard was shown when talking about MCG, no mention of Kardinia Park Upgrades, part of why they left the WACA because Subiaco got light towers. Shane Warne Stand was the renamed Southern stand not the new stand built in 2006. Great potential video but a lot of errors for only 10 minutes

[@yusuf.alajnabi]

Kardina park is currently undergoing renovations to increase capacity

[@lachlanbaker2031]

10:21 just a small correction, the southern stand is now the Shane Warne stand. Brilliant video otherwise 😊

[@IYFKy]

Great video cardy🔥

[@kevsmagpies1306]

Great video Pat love this video. It breaks my heart that we can’t play home games at our old home grounds I would love to see it

[@Jacksonhoff23]

Great video cardy

[@ozzybloke-craig3690]

Not an AFL fan tbh, just subbed cuz Rob Reacts told us to lol but curious, as I have not watched it yet, just clicked on the vid to ask a question, is this about AFL Stadiums specifically or any stadiums that AFl has been played in?

[@CARDMAN22]

Only stadiums that have held VFL/AFL games are included

[@ozzybloke-craig3690]

@@CARDMAN22 ok, but what I meant is are they AFL stadiums only, or has other sports been played in them? Like are they specifically AFL stadiums only, or does it include stadiums where other sports are played to? Btw Rob Reacts sent ppl to your channel ages ago, been subbed ever since. As a fellow Aussie, I love supporting other Aussies on YT, but I watch NRL. NRL is more for toughness and AFL for fitness I feel like. And I am from Qld, so a lot less AFL fans here and the ones I know are all from down South that moved up here.

[@bobob4477]

Got a few errors in there, such as the "outside Australia" for outside Victoria and incorrectly referring to a few teams as other teams. Cool old pictures and footage, though.

[@CanChristian.]

This is amazing history keep up the great work i m also fan of AFL and i m Richmond surportter i just started made a AFL Channel be posting soon

[@yusuf.alajnabi]

My 2 favourites are Kardina park and the MCG

[@Code_breaker_]

I don't know why it's called the MCG ( Melbourne Cricket Ground ). It should be called AFL Stadium, since AFL Football pays 99% of the bills there.

[@CARDMAN22]

It’s named the MCG because it was a solely a cricket ground originally

[@Code_breaker_]

@@CARDMAN22 Cool. Very good video too. ✅

[@largechips]

It's owned by the Melbourne Cricket Club, they are the ones who pay the bills, not the AFL. I am a member of that club.

[@SKIPPAFC]

Love the history vids, very informative

[@CARDMAN22]

Missed Riverway Stadium in Townsville.

[@jasonlyons7329]

So many fond memories of the western oval in my Hey day getting up to mischief at the Barclay Street end ❤

[@gotimeafl2022]

Great video Cardy as always. Wish the suburban grounds could be used for a couple of rounds each year again.

[@jamesaus7727]

would've been cool to touch on the re-birth of the suburban grounds used as AFLW home grounds, great video though

[@CARDMAN22]

Yeah i could’ve, but thought it would be enough to just mention them as VFL/AFL grounds alone

[@bluesirva3574]

in 1903, the first game to be played outside of Australia (WTF) and they had to travel by....train.. seems technology had been going backwards since then.. BTW, when the NATIONAL R.8 in 1952 was once again played outside of Australia - Albury, Yallourn, Euroa, Brisbane, Sydney and Hobart - did they again go by train? South Melbourne did not relocate to Sydney Swans, the team moved to Sydney and bacame the Sydney Swans. Lakeside oval 'no longer came into use'. Passion is a beautiful thing, alas this oxymoron does it for me..

[@dougbarker3019]

Tasmania must get its own AFL team plus a new state-of-the-art stadium worthy of the competition.

[@GriffenGriffcool]

Gabba is the best stadium soon to be biggest

[@ledogproductions8648]

Do you know why so many games are going to be played in Adelaide in a single round

[@tommy-x4q]

Good vid mate 👌

[@joelmeeke6180]

Mate what about the redevelopment of Kardinia Park from roughly 2004 or 5 to 2024? Or is this another ‘Geelong a backwater complex thing.’?

[@HSVKing]

Quite a number of errors to correct here, pronunciations etc but the main one being the Shane Warne Stand, which is actually the Southern Stand, not the new Northern Stand as you stated.

[@leighreganarblaster9852]

Souping know Sydney, Brisbane and Hobart are part of Australia

[@latenightlogic]

The good old days when Melbourne teams had their own home grounds.
