To put Australians love of Aussie Rules into perspective, America has a population of over 330 million with only 16 teams in the NFL; whereas, Australia only has a population of around 26 million but we have currently 18 teams. The scoreboard can be confusing to someone first watching, but is relatively easy to understand when you know how it works; the numbers represents the Goals(20), the Behinds(10) and lastly the Points(130), to work it out the Goals are multiplied by 6 giving 120 then add the Behinds multiplied by 1 giving 10 and resulting in the Total Points(120+10) giving 130.

Tackling in AFL and Rugby is extremely skilled and precise.When executed correctly its about as painful as a rough strong hug. We're just hugging and loving each other out there. We play without pads because we trust and respect each others skills.

@stevep2430 2 ай бұрын

The problem with wearing protective pads in a fast moving game as AFL, you would have more players dying of heat exhaustion. The body does get conditioned to take the knocks naturally. It must be remembered that most these players have been playing since they were children.

Players last longer than you think a few have played over 400 games, They play till 35 plus if they are skilled enough some even older. No offside rule is important so once ball bounced in centre any player can go anywhere it is a 360 degree game so you need to be superfit and strong that is why you noticed their bodies. NO rich oil shiek or US tech guy can buy a team they are owned and run by their members and the AFL is owned by the clubs this is so different to soccer and American sports where you buy teams.

Aussie Rules players do not wear any padding or helmets. Injures to players, othe than sore muscles, can range from hamstring strains to concussions; the number of concussions per season has slowly been lowered, but there still are some serious collisions.

@joandsarah77 2 ай бұрын

It's really fun to watch. And I know it looks painful but they learn how to hit and fall. Helmets and pads may look safer but they actually tend to encourage harder hitting with more reliance on the items then on learning how to fall safely. Helmets also allow the brain to bounce around inside the scull more during those harder hits. If you look up sport injuries, cycling has the most.

The total duration of an average football game is around 2 hours, with extra time for stoppages most quarters last 30 minutes. I would recommend watching the companion video to this from the AFL titled A Beginners Guide to Australian Rules Football, this will hopefully fill in any gaps you may have. Currently in America, the USAFL has 50 men's teams playing across the country; and like Australia, they have women's teams.

A few answers for you. 1. Our longevity in the game is not short. I'm very very typi al in that I started in juniors at 7 years of age and retired as a professional at 34. 2. We do get hurt and it is a rare thing that any player at any level comes out of any game without scrapes and wearing numerous hits. You often only realise what damage is done when you settle down after the game. Difference between soccer (football) and Australian Rules Football is that we don't telegraph injuries in the fear of being taken off the ground. If Australian Rules footballers behaved like soccer players pretending to be injured we would be VERY harshly critizesed and laughed off the ground. 3. The only protection we wear is mouth guards and a lot of players do not wear them. I wore one for 5 minutes in my 37 years of football and got rid of it and 4. A lot of people play Masters football where players still run around in their late 60s.

Hello dear lady. Do they get hurt? Not as much as you would think. These guys are super athletes and they spend a lot of time training and conditioning their bodies. So their bodies are so strong and tough that they can take lots of brutal bumping/tackling. Some games there are no injuries and other games there might be one or two which are usually hamstrings and mainly other soft tissue injuries. Trust me, they are very tough guys. You said they play for an hour but you didn't catch onto the explanation of the quarters. So there are four quarters of 20 minutes each with roughly 10 minutes of time on for stoppages added to it. This means each quarter goes for roughly 30 minutes, and that means they are playing for a total of two hours except for breaks between the quarters. That's two hours of being bumped, tackled and scragged. So they are very fit. Surprisingly, we didn't copy anyone because our game came first. it was codified in 1859 before soccer, NFL, basketball etc. It was originally invented to keep cricket players fit in the off-season. The last two grand finals have had over 100,000 fans at each game. The atmosphere is electric. It's also very family friendly with as many kids as adults. People are there to watch the game and not to cause trouble like some overseas sports. They scream their heads off, (mainly at the referee who is called an umpire) and except for the odd idiot, there's no bad behaviour. We also have a women's league called AFLW, (Australian football league women's) and the girls are pretty tough as well. Another video talks about the mens and women's game, so search for, "A beginners guide to Australian rules football." There is every chance that Aussie rules is played where you are as an amateur sport. You should search for it. Because it's amateur it's nowhere near as brutal as our game, and is more a social game with beers and barbecue afterwards. America has the USAFL which has been going for over 25 years and comprises 40 different leagues around the country including a women's league. You will be surprised how many other countries play Aussie rules as an amateur sport. It's definitely the most exciting ballgame on the planet. Cheers. 🇦🇺🦘🐨

No, it is not part of any other sport because it was the first one. Before any other coded football including American football. We have Soccer and just about every other game you mentioned too. This game was started to keep our Cricket players fit between seasons or kill them. That is why every Grand Final is held at the Melbourne Cricket Ground and probably why the playing field is oval. Nothing beats the sound of 100,000 people when they roar at the MCG or we call it just the G. It is magic to be there. Australia is very sports orientated, our babies start learning to swim at 5 months old so they can save themselves if they fall into water. My life was spent on a softball field, on a surf board, in the ocean or a pool, managing a soccer team and playing soccer into my 30’s. Then my husband and I held Australian titles in bowling. My husband and children were all BMX State champions and all qualified for the Australian title. That was just how you grow up here, it is a family thing.

(NOTE) Aerial Ping-Pong A jocular (and frequently derisive) name for Australian Rules Football (or Aussie Rules as it is popularly called). The term derives from the fact that the play in this game is characterised by frequent exchanges of long and high kicks. The term is used largely by people from States both of Queensland & New South Wales in which Rugby League Football and NOT Aussie Rules (Footy) Football as &/or is the major football code. This interstate and code rivalry is often found in evidence for the term, including the early evidence from the 1940s. 1947 West Australian (Perth) 22 April: In 1941 he enlisted in the A.I.F. and joined a unit which fostered rugby football. Renfrey did not join in the &oq;mud bath&cq; and did not play 'aerial ping-pong', as the rugby exponents in the army termed the Australian game, until 1946. 1973 J. Dunn, How to Play Football: Sydneysiders like to call Australian Rules 'Aerial Ping-Pong'. But on the other hand, for those and including myself who actually do LIKE &/or LOVE any Football (Footy) Code/s with a real passion would &/or will say these, which are, (1 One) Australian Rules Football, is referred as the real Australian Football (Footy) Code of Australia, (2 Two) Rugby League Football, is referred as the Greatest Game of All, (3 Three0 Rugby Union Football, is referred the Game that they do Play in Heaven, (4 Four) Football (Soccer), is referred as the Beautiful Game & the World Game & also the Real Football Code of course.

There are FOUR different types of football played in Australia: *Rugby League *Rugby Union *Australian Rules *Soccer (European Football) As to which is most popular? It depends on where you live in Australia. *Rugby League - more popular in the Northern States *Australian Rules - more popular in the Southern and Western States *Rugby Union - popular in Northern State *Soccer (Football) - Nationally All four types are played Nationally (all across Australia), but people in the northern states don’t really much care about Australian Rules. People in the southern and western states don’t really care much about Rugby League or Rugby Union (most of them can’t tell the difference and just say ‘Rugby’). Yes Soccer (Football), is played nationally, but the crowds that attend those games are usually much smaller than crowds attending either Rugby League or Australian Rules. Yes all of us Aussies love our football, but it depends very much where you live and what type of football. I live in Sydney (northern states), I prefer Rugby League, don’t really care much for Australian Rules or Soccer (people in Southern states would probably say the opposite). Cheers,

If you want to talk about ‘professional level’ Football, in Qld or NSW, League craps all over AFL. The reverse is equally true in the southern and western states. Nice try, but you get a fail.

People in Sydney (and NSW) have far more choice of a team to support, yes? They have far less of a choice with Sydney/NSW based AFL teams. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to work that out. Anyway..... The whole point of my original post is that, we in Australia, don’t have ONE national code of ‘football’ we have FOUR different codes of football.

G’day, (So many foreigners are seeing the Americanised Rules video first, so i created this generic comment as it basically applies to just about every one, if you’ve already seen a suggested video, just ignore it & move on). I’m glad your enjoying our game, but I should point out that the first “rules” video is unfortunately full of inaccuracies and omissions, and that’s odd since it was the Australian AFL ruling body that commissioned it. The very first thing to be addressed ( and I will mention it later again in full), but this game is NOT a mix of other games or American games. AND It is absolutely understandable why most might think this so, but it’s simply not true as every game that looks like it might have similar roots, like volleyball and basketball etc we’re invent many years (even decades) later after AFL . So To start with, here are some comments and corrections in no particular order. First of, it’s 15 metres “before” your required to bounce the ball, it’s just been rounded to 16 yards for the American audience, for which the first typical video most get to see was created. Also, you don’t just have to bounce it, you can alternatively bend down whilst running, and touch the ball to the ground as well (although rarely seen nowadays). The MCG (Melbourne Cricket Ground) holds over 100,000 people, not 90,000. I know the Vid said 90,000 plus, but that implies a lower true figure, so it’s a poor choice of words. They play on Cricket pitches, hence the round oval shape, and since cricket pitches are different sizes, there is no standard pitch size, so any figures that will get quoted, are only average estimates. The 20 minute quarters can have 10 additional minutes PER quarter, not 10 minutes for the whole game. This is a truly 360 degree game, so when they say no offside rule, it’s a massive understatement that you will only understand after watching a few minutes of continuous play. And you can get hit from Any direction at all (and therefore no “Knock on rule”). And what isn’t mentioned at all, is that their is absolutely no “Time Outs” of any description at all, for eg. if a player is injured, the game still continues on around him without stopping. The only exception to this is if he needs to be stretchered of, other wise the play goes on as the injured player walks off, there is video on KZbin with players with clearly broken arms, walking off. This 1st video is an updated version, that fixes most (but not all the) issues and omissions in the Americanised version of the video most people see first. (To be clear, the errors are our fault, i.e. us Aussies, as it was the AFL who wrote the script to help educate US citizens). kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5C2opmEg8ubo68 This 2nd video is done by an Englishman (Pom), and it does a better job of explaining the basics (in regards to the original AFL,s own video), but since some of the rules have changed, it’s also slightly inaccurate too, but not in any fundamental important matters though, and it does give a list of offences that none of the others do, so it’s still worth a watch. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5_ZZGWpbc-DsJI. This next vid helps fill in some gaps, but it leaves stuff out too, so it’s only really useful as a supplementary video, but it’s still very good for what it does do. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGXInYGnm5h-rsk This last video nicely wraps it all up. But don’t be put of by it’s apparent length as only the 1st 14 minutes are actually about the game itself as the rest is about the clubs and their history. It also covers how inclusive the game is as well. But whilst you’re of course welcome to see the rest, you only need to see the first 14 minutes to better understand the game, and of those 1st 14 minutes the first 4 minutes are a preamble and a very little bit of history that’s well worth watching too. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqXQpmBnoLJ5kNk (Update) Before we move along and in support of the previous Videos closing remarks about Aussie AFL fans. Here’s what happened When Buddy Franklin Scored his 1000th goal (yes that really is One Thousand Goals, NOT including behinds I.E. the One pointers). This milestone has only happened 5 times previously in the 150 year plus history of this game. That’s why the crowd reacted the way they did. The anticipation for this moment was absolutely huge all game. It took nearly half an hour tho clear the cricket ground (pitch). kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpiwZIpsnNN9fck These next videos are not rules related as such, but a bit of everything else of potential interest. To start of with, If your interested in the history of the game, as it’s arguably the oldest game on earth, well at least certain aspects of it are anyway. The following videos should help to enlighten you why this is case. At the 1:27 min mark, they specifically mentioned how the AFL Ruling body, has finally recognised the influence of Marngrook on AFL. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqGtl6eYedZ5nLs To be Clear. It’s the jumping up high (I.E. marking) of the ball component of Marngrook, that’s of specific importance, and is what was carried across to the new game. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYbPeX2dp9Cag5o kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWnHgZd-gr-ch8k This little Documentary has certain facts that have since been clarified and confirmed, as shown in the earlier video suggestions. But the History of Tom Wills is still accurate. Take Note: At 4:31. Specific mention is made of the hand written rules, including a photo of the original hand written rules of what’s now called, Australian Rules Football. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKeZlXSlisiGqK8 What’s now known as Australian Rules, is indeed the first game to have a “standardised” set of “codified” rules of any football code. Another point of interest is that the Australian Aborigines have a PROVEN historical ability to remember and pass on their stories. So to go of track ever so slightly, it’s been discovered that they have racial memories (stories that are passed down over time) that actually date back to before the last ice age. It’s also a proven fact that the Australian Aborigines have the OLDEST Continuous culture of any race, on earth. (Feel free to check this out at your own leisure as it’s fascinating in its own right). . kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYbPeX2dp9Cag5o kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWnHgZd-gr-ch8k To be fair (and clear), just about every game ever invented, basically starts of without written rules. This is especially true of soccer as it’s history dates back to the Middle Ages. Therefore various games (of all sorts) have evolved over time, this is a universal constant. It’s just that Australian Football was specifically created for a very specific purpose right from the very beginning, and so setting out rules was an automatic imperative right from the start. Neither the early forms of soccer or rugby (or any other type of game) had this type of need in their early days. Australia (Victoria to be more specific) was the First Nation to have a 8 hour work day 40 hour work week. So we had Saturday free to play sport, before other countries, this has been postulated as another reason why it was easy for us to create a game in the fashion that we did, and why it was taken up so quickly. What translates to AFL, is the consolidated components of pre Codified Soccer/football, pre codified Rugby, Marngrook etc, as well as some other unique aspects of his own too (like bouncing/touching the ball to the ground), that was then all mixed up and combined into our very own game which we happened to write some rules down before anyone else got around to it. To put it simply, No one has ever denied the fact that AFL is made up of early forms of other football style of games with our own bits added as well. But having said that. AFL actually predates Soccer, Rugby, Gridiron, Basketball, Volleyball etc. So it’s not actually accurate to say that it’s a mix of other sports, as that implies that AFL copied those aspects and that they came first, but to be fair, it is also entirely understandable why that assumption is constantly made. To sum up. These suggestions are about the background and history of AFL. There are other far more exciting videos to watch, such as ones like these. I will start of with what was a pop song in the 70’s but has become the main AFL theme song (their are others). What makes this video specifically interesting was that it was before a lot of the rules to make it a safer game, had been made. It has some spectacular footage. (Just the 5 secs from 0:30 to 0:35, prove this point). And BTW Roy Cazaly was the name of a famous player that could jump, hence the cry “ Up their Cazaly” and thus the title for the song. I maybe biased, but it’s still a damn good song. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqmwaYt4a5aNrLc This one is well worth reacting too. These next vids are of course subjective, and it’s only a taste of what’s on KZbin. I’m not saying they are the best, just a good example of what’s available, and they are all worth reacting to as well.

Edit It might look like a long comment, but I have a lot of actual working links, with little mini descriptions before each one. This is so you can simply skip over anything that you’ve either seen already or that you aren’t interested in. Cheers

You should not worry about the players getting hurt. It's a scientific fact that Australian men and women are the toughest on the planet and do not feel any kind of physical pain. They are also the most emotionally receptive, kindest and sympathetic. These unexplainable facts are well established in medical journals and the Guinness book of records...

It's NOTHING like American football. It's played on a pitch twice the size of an American football field, at a much faster pace, and virtually non-stop from start to finish, unlike the endless stops and starts in American football. An American football player would not have the stamina to last 15 minutes in Australian Rules match, and then we're not even talking about the Australian game being played without any padding.

We play australian rules football with mouthguards. Plenty of protection. Also, this game isnt like any other sport - because this sport was codified before all those other sports were codified. So those sports are like our sports in little ways.

Australian Football was invented in 1858, the modern soccer game was invented in 1863 and American football was invented in 1869 so technically Australian football is older than all of them except for rugby which was invented in 1823

Aussie Rules is NOTHING like Soccer or NFL. The players are much fitter than those other football codes. Aussie Rules players don't wear any padding as they are not socks like players of other football codes especially soccer

The perspective is a little skewed when you're reacting to a video like this ... In American Football, you have linebackers crashing into receivers etc. the whole time. While in Australian Football, the only tackling going on involves the few people playing for the ball. The skewed perception comes from the camera always showing the people near the ball. So while we do hit each other hard, there's a lot less total violence.

Umm . . . Australian Rules Football was the FIRST codified game of this type. The other sports came later ! The players are supreme athletes with extraordinary strength and stamina. They run further than any soccer player- up to 15 kms per game. They are always on high alertness as the oval ball has a random bounce which could go anywhere. The players do receive injuries. Unlike soccer players they do not do a cry-baby carry-on because of that to score favors from the umpire. The footy players are physically tough. And yes, they do not wear padding protection.The women in the AFLW teams are also physically tough.
