Game time rules (taken from Wikipedia) "A game consists of four quarters and a timekeeper officiates their duration. At the professional level, each quarter consists of 20 minutes of play, with the clock being stopped for instances such as scores, the ball going out of bounds or at the umpire's discretion, e.g. for serious injury. Lower grades of competition might employ shorter quarters of play. The umpire signals time-off to stop the clock for various reasons, such as the player in possession being tackled into stagnant play. Time resumes when the umpire signals time-on or when the ball is brought into play. Stoppages cause quarters to extend approximately 5-10 minutes beyond the 20 minutes of play. 6 minutes of rest is allowed before the second and fourth quarters, and 20 minutes of rest is allowed at half-time." I hope that makes sense.
Field rules, number of players on the ground (also taken from Wiki) "Australian rules football playing fields have no fixed dimensions but at senior level are typically between 135 and 185 metres (148 and 202 yd) long and 110 and 155 metres (120 and 170 yd) wide wing-to-wing. The field, like the ball, is oval-shaped, and in Australia, cricket grounds are often used. No more than 18 players of each team (or, in AFL Women's, 16 players) are permitted to be on the field at any time. Up to four interchange (reserve) players may be swapped for those on the field at any time during the game. In Australian rules terminology, these players wait for substitution "on the bench"-an area with a row of seats on the sideline. Players must interchange through a designated interchange "gate" with strict penalties for having too many players from one team on the field. In addition, some leagues have each team designate one player as a substitute who can be used to make a single permanent exchange of players during a game. There is no offside rule nor are there set positions in the rules; unlike many other forms of football, players from both teams may disperse across the whole field before the start of play. However, a typical on-field structure consists of six forwards, six defenders or "backmen" and six midfielders, usually two wingmen, one centre and three followers, including a ruckman, ruck-rover and rover. Only four players from each team are allowed within the centre square (50 metres or 55 yards) at every centre bounce, which occurs at the commencement of each quarter, and to restart the game after a goal is scored. There are also other rules pertaining to allowed player positions during set plays (that is, after a mark or free kick) and during kick-ins following the scoring of a behind."
Scoring goes, you get a goal (6 points) if you kick the ball through the two main tall sticks in the middle, or it is kicked and it bounces through between the two tall goal posts. If it's touched by an opposition player after it is kicked but before it goes over the goal line, then it's just a single point instead. Not 6 points. If you miss the two main tall sticks in the middle, and kick it through one tall stick and one shorter stick, it is called a behind (also only 1 point). Switching goal ends occurs at the start of each quarter.
6 points if kick ball anyway in air or soccer on ground between middle goalposts without been touched. 1 point for touched before going between goalposts or between outside poles called pointposts. You can't push opposition in back unless taking a mark(catch) you can ride there back or shoulders as long as you touch ball atleast. No offside, players can run and be anywhere anytime on field when playing a game.
Im Aussie and i love AFL so here are some things about it: -There are 18 players on the field - You can't run it through the goal posts you have to kick it 😂 -There are lots of different clubs - The first ever AFL footy match was played in 1858!! - AFL stands for- Australian football league - A goal is worth 6 points and a behind is worth 1 point
Lads, there are already a few Aussie punters in the NFL. Ben Graham played in the 2009 Super Bowl for the Cardinals. He was also the guy who introduced American punters to the "drop punt" technique, which is now used regularly.
Actually it was English Rugby League players in the early 90's who first brought the drop punt to the NFL , specifically through NFL sponsored European competition and the London Monarchs, This was then copied by a few people on and off in the NFL for 20 years . . .
Darren Bennett (Inaugural West Coast full forward, then Melbourne, NFL Punter for San Diego and All 90's NFL team) introduced the "Drop Punt" and the "Check Side" to the NFL.
Here's the above mentioned video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XMZYZcoAcU0.html You want to look up best marks video And maybe a biggest hits video too. It's a good sport to watch and maybe a bit more physical than NFL
There are 4 posts at either end of the field and you get 6 points if you kick it through the middle to and one if you miss to either side. You cannot throw the ball at any stage and you cannot touch it over the line like a try/touchdown. That's rugby.
Y’all need to watch “What is AFL” on RU-vid. Fields are an oval shape approx 2.5-2.8 acres in area. Games are 4 quarters of 20mins + OT. There’s 18 players per team on the field at any one time and 4 on the bench. Object move ball towards your goal line whilst defending opposition from scoring. Ball can be moved 3 ways. Running with the ball, but it must be bounced every 10meters, handpassed the ball must be hit with a clenched fist from an open palm (the ball cannot be thrown) and it can be kicked. A kick must travel 15meters before a team mate or opponent can mark/catch the ball, this can stop play for a on the spot kick or you can play on. If a penalty is awarded, the ball is taken from a on the spot kick or hand balled, this is play on. Ball can travel in any direction. A Mark is when the ball is caught, to complete a mark, the umpire must deem the player had first contact with the ball and held controlled possession of the ball. A ball can be knocked free in the contest or with contact to the ground and still be awarded as a mark, if the umpire (referee) has made the call it was a mark. To score ball must be kicked (and not touched) through 2 large uprights this is 6 points. If the ball is touched by team mate or opponent and goes through large uprights, ball hits large uprights or goes between large and small outer posts it’s 1 point. If the ball hits the outer lower post or crosses the boundary line on the full it’s an opposition free kick, if the ball bounces into the smaller outer post or across the boundary line it is thrown into play by a boundary umpire to a contested position. A player may carry the ball and be out of bounds, but the ball must remain within the field of play. So a player can run along outside holding the ball inside, but the player must return to the field of play to bounce or dispose of the ball. Tackling is allowed from any direction, but must be between knees & shoulders. Head high contact or tripping is a penalty/free kick to opposing team. Enjoy the Footy boy’s & watch “AFL here comes the boom”.
All things considered (Time on) the games go for two hours of playing time, divided into 4 quarters. There are 18 on the field at any time for each team. 36 in total. You score 6 points and restart play in the centre by kicking it between the long middle posts, kicking it between the long and the short edge post gives you 1 point and gives the opposition team possession You don't HAVE to jump on their shoulders to mark it, however it is a good show to do it - It is called a "Speckie" a "Screamer" or a "Capper" named after Warwick Capper who was a guy well known for doing it, about 1000 years ago. When they catch it, or "mark" it, the man from the opposition team stands where it was marked, and you get to go back and take a kick without being tackled. Incidentally, a few AFL players have actually been recruited as punters because of how far they can kick. Ben Graham. The brothers Sav and Anthony Rocca. I think there are a couple more.
Height and reach is definitely an advantage for AFL but there aren't going to be many big build players since there is a huge aerobic element to the game. Players are typically running 10-20miles per game with constant play, there is nearly no rest.
@@nmdc93 Yes, they do. Garry Ablett Junior used to run anywhere between 20-25km every game, and there have been a number of players running past the 30km mark. Just 3 weeks ago, there was 4 players on the field who ran 25km each.
Best athletes? Afl blokes are weak, they have 4 goal posts to aim at, how can you miss? You're allowed to fumble and bumble around... It's neither athletic or skillful 🤦♂️🤦♂️
@@SiRasputin I’m assuming you’re just a butthurt soccer or NRL fan. You can miss shots when kicking for goal as players are often kicking the ball from at least 40, 50, sometimes 60 metres out. Elite AFL players are the best athletes in the world, and are much fitter than soccer and NRL flogs. And don’t even call AFL players weak when they’re a lot stronger than soccer players and fitter than NRL players. Aussie rules really isn’t what you might think mate if you think it’s just a fumble fest of weak nancy boys.
@@trainco1643 mate it's soft... most goals are kicked from short distance into a massive goal mouth. Soccer players more skillful, NRL players bigger stronger, faster and more stamina, NFL players easily more athletic. I'll give you fitness, but that's all I'll give you. Your blokes are uncoordinated
The mark at 7:25 is brilliant. I follow the team in black and red. To give you an idea of how good this jump was, Jake Carlisle, the player he jumps on is 198cm or 6'6" tall. That is some serious hops.
Andrew Walker or “SkyWalker” as we Blues fans came to know him as, had a standing vertical leap of +30 inches, had explosive speed 4th fastest in league at one point and often featured in clubs top 5 for point to point 3klm distance time trial.
This is Aussie Rules, AFL (Australian Football League) and has 4 quarters each one going for 20min. The clock is stopped if the ball goes out of bounds an ump (umpire) throws it back in, or there may need to be a bounce (ump will bounce the ball and players will jump to knock it down to their team mate). 18 players in each team. Ball through middle posts is a goal, if it goes through the outside and middle post its a point. The games been happening since 1859.
-22 Players on each side, so 44 per game. -18 players for each team on the field at one time, with a rotating interchange bench with 4 players on it at all times. -ball kicked through the middle posts = 6 Points. -ball kicked through the outer posts = 1 Point. -2 ways of disposing the ball, either handpassing it (which is punching the ball out of your hands to your team, or kicking the ball. -There is boundary line around the oval, if the ball bounces out, they throw the ball back in at which point the rucks contest to guide the ball down to their rovers. -If the ball gets kicked out of the boundary on the full, it's a free kick to the team who didn't kick it. "Catching" is referred to as a mark, or marking in AFL - Each time a player marks it, they have about 10 seconds to dispose of the ball uncontested, once that's up the ump will blow the whistle and it's play on, meaning they can be tackled. -There is a significant amount of different free kicks in footy, "Holding the ball" being the most prevalent, if a player has prior opportunity to dispose of the ball and get caught/tackled it's a turn over. -Incorrect disposal, Ie; Throwing the ball, will result in a free against. -High tackles are also illegal, so contact above the neck. ("Referees" or Umpires (What we call them) tend to miss an awful lot of frees, so it can be quite confusing understanding the rules when watching lol. -Pushing an opponent in the back is also illegal, so players need to be mindful when tackling not to fall on the player they are tackling. (this rule seems to go out the window when it comes to them taking "Screamers" or "Speccies" when they jump on other players backs/shoulders to take massive marks, Unless it's blatantly unrealistic attempt at taking a mark, an umpire won't ping them for a free against) -There is a tribunal system, so when you are seeing these guys knocking each other out, they often get reported and then the tribunal will determine whether they are suspended for matches or fined to be penalised. The severity of the suspension depends on whether their act was intentional and a medical report. That's an incredibly brief summary of our beloved Aussie Rules, so much more to it. They are trying to make it an international sport, so the more publicity guys like you do, will give it a better shot to be played around the world. I'm very biased as it's definitely my favourite sport. When it's offseason it's very depressing lol. AFL is played between March - September every year, 22 Rounds, + 3 Weeks of Finals and a Grand Final where the top two teams play it out for the premiership cup.
Lol no they don’t. A marathon is 42km. The most elite AFL midfielders today cover around 12-14km in a game. Going back 15-20 years when the rules were a bit different (fewer stoppages and interchanges) top midfielders - famously Shane Crawford for example - would give 20km a nudge, usually around 16-18km.
Some of those hits are illegal but the majority are ok. After you check out What is AFL, maybe watch AFL best marks and best goals. Some of these guys get some serious air and some can kick goals from nearly 60 metres from a standing start, or even 50 metres on the run. Best game in the world as far as I'm concerned.
Soccer is the biggest and most important sport on Earth with over 4 billions fans and is massive in over 240 countries. Afl only has 7 million fans and massive in only 4 Australian states. Soccer will be the number 1 sport in Australia by 2050 jsuc
@@mufc383 what 240 countries? There's not even 200 in the world so thats impressive. Soccer has benefited from European exposure while AFL has only had Australia as a market for it's history. I think you'll find AFL will expand more than soccer will with the recent rise in technology and social media as AFL has everything that soccer fans love with better additions and is just an all-round better game.
As a matter of fact, AFL has already started catching on in America. One of our teams, the Collingwood Magpies, actually has a player, Mason Cox, who is originally from Texas.
Only just saw this guys … your reactions is so cool 😂😂😂❤ love from Australia.. you guys ever come down under we get you some fine tickets and show you a game … sport is so important for us all 🇦🇺🇺🇸
Love seeing the five of y'all watching. Pat McAfee has really done the deep dive on the game and has talked to the only American playing on more than one occasion. Can't wait for you to wrap your heads around it. It's a beautiful game when played well.
Dustin Fletcher is one of a few players to play 400 games. He played for a team more hateable than the Yankees but but was a great player for about 23 years with 2 flags to his name . Hate his team but you gotta respect 23 years at the top level playing mostly on the opposition's best player.

The guy with the dreadlocks is Nic Naitanui. Check out his highlight reel Btw 49ers punter is Australian... there's been a few in the NFL over the years. Ben Graham, Saverio Rocca, Darren Bennett. And there's a few in college football atm too.
Thats true buy the bleeding player still comes back on when the bleeding stops and after the game the player who punched him will be banned for 4-10 games depending on the severity, if they have a history etc.
so this game is AFL - the goal is to kick the ball between the goals... best to kick in the goal in the middle... compete for the ball.. it is like football but run, catch, jump, smash, hangon to the ball, kick in the goal... you cant throw the ball between the goals.... you must kick or pass (punch the ball) to your team mate. pretty much combination or all sports... soccer, rugby, basketball, wrestling you name it
Because they don’t need them, it’s not like American Football where the object is to take someone’s head of nearly every play without any repercussions. I don’t think this sports existence is to take someone’s head off through the lengths of a match as it is in American Football.
its like the biggest sport in australia and the grand final is played at "the home of footy" at the MCG in Melbourne watched live by 100,000 fans. the atmosphere there is amazing i went to the 2018 Grand Final (recommend you looking up the highlights- one of the greatest grand finals ever in my opinion) and the atmosphere was electric. it was sooo loud.
Fun little facts, MCG is Melbourne Cricket Ground, and wasn't a football venue in the 80s, there was a ground made just for this event called VFL Park but the location the choose was poor as it was too far out of Melbourne for most people and transport to that area was poor.
Hey guys check out the USAFL. Aussie Rules is gaining popularity around the world. There are now Leagues in the UK and Europe, the USA and Asia. There may well be a club near you. It's a much longer game than NFL, with up to 120 minutes of play. Each team fields 18 players plus 4 interchange players. It's the fastest football as there's no offside and an emphasis on keeping the play going.
AFL is NOT rugby. Aussie rugby is the NRL, this is AFL (everyone calls it footy) and the games a very different. AFL is actually based on a game of our indigenous Australians called "Marngrook". A few rugby players have tried to play AFL but they didn't have the stamina or foot skills needed. Quite a few Americans have tried too but failed to gain all the skills required (its very hard, we play it as children and are used to getting hit hard completely legally within the rules). Mason Cox is the first American to play a senior game (each AFL team has a senior side and their second team called the reserves). The most common sport to transition from is basketball. They are tall, have good hand skills and usually good awareness (so you don't get knocked out). The ball is not a rugby ball either. Its a different shape and traditionally made of kangaroo skin. Watch Dustin Martin 2017 highlights if you want to see a great player.
Basically, Australia has 4 popular forms of football - Soccer, Rugby Union, Rugby League, and Australian Football (AFL). AFL is a sport unique to rugby that kinda uses some rules from Rugby, Soccer, and Gaelic Football, plus a few of its own. It's extremely popular here in Australia, probably the most popular sport just above Cricket and Rugby. I'd recommend watching a video on the basic AFL rules so you can appreciate how unique it is from other forms of football. Rugby is also very popular here, and both forms of Rugby (Union and League) are played widely. But they are both very different from AFL. Soccer is also played a lot here, especially at a Junior level.
Also check out (Mason Cox 'Dont believe in never') Mason is a 7"ft guy from Texas who playes for Collingwood and he is the only American in the AFL. There is also a great interview he does with Pat McAfee
He is not the only American to have played the game. Fremantle had, for a short time, an American on their list. I don't recall his name or what happened to him, the point being that there have been others and I am sure there will be more in the future. Actor Dean Cain (Superman from 'Lois and Clark'),who is a huge AFL, and I think Essendon, fan has talked up the AFL in Hollywood for 25 years or more. Interesting fact: the first international Australian Rules Football game ever played was between the USA's and Canada's women's teams! North America has a longer history with 'Aussies Rules', as we call it, (pretty cool double meaning, too) than many people realise.
You're totally right, but while Cox is the only American player, the Richmond Tigers' president is also an American woman. Just wanted to add that to it for anyone curious.
@@peterbaini8752 loved when all the players went back to the change rooms after celebrating except mas. He took a few minutes to walk around the oval on his own just soaking it all in and cherishing the moment
That's how Aussies 'play ball'! No pads, no helmets, no guards - we just smash each other for 80 minutes non stop! Some of the midfielders run between 12-18 kilometres per match. Then add the ball skills and they are the best athletes on the planet!
18 players per side. No off-site rule. Every catch of a ball kicked longer than 15 metres gives the catcher an unimpeded kick.. basically like a free kick in soccer. The game has few stoppages and each player is required to be able to run non-stop for four quarters of ball play. These are very fit dudes aerobically. During the off season they get buffed doing weights but by halfway through the season they get stripped lean by all the running.
Australian rules football is the biggest sport in Australia. 18 players per side so 36 on the field. goals are kicked through the two biggest upright posts at 6 points per goal and 1 point when kicked through the side posts.
Australian Rules can be best described a game that takes the best features of other sports such as Soccer, Basketball, Rugby, NFL, Gaelic Football which is combined is dexterity, athletic ability, aerobic capacity and a big set of nuts. No padding or protection, players will run between 13 and 20km per game, which consists of 4x 25 minute periods - called quarters. Most modern day players are amongst the fittest and strongest athletes in the world of team sports today. 18 teams make up the national league now known as AFL. The game began back in 1830 in Melbourne Australia. Scoring is from the being kicked between the posts with a goal worth 6 points being for kicks between the tallest posts. Points or behinds are scored when the ball is kicked between the outside posts or forced across the line by a defender during an attack. There are 18 players on the ground at all times with 4 reserve players which can be swapped or rotated with players on the field. In a game this rotation of players can happen 90 times maximum per team, per game. If the ball is kicked and crosses the outer boundary line of the field it s a free kick to the opposition. If the ball rolls out of play it is a thrown in by the boundary umpire who monitors the lines at all times. If the main umpire decides a player purposely made the ball go out of play - then he can award a free kick to the opposition. The ball can be kicked or hand-balled to a team mate. A hand ball is where the player punches the ball clear with one hand while supporting it with the other. You cant push in the back of players or tackle above the shoulders. If you tackle below the knees a penalty free kick will be awarded for tripping. A player tackled by the opposition must dispose of the ball immediately or be penalized for holding the ball. There are many more rules which are pretty clearly explained as each incident occurs during a game by the commentators who are usually all experienced ex players. You must watch a Grand Final to see what its like to have 100 thousand people inside the same stadium... quite amazing.
You have no idea the courage and heart it takes to keep your eyes on the ball and run flat-out to take a mark knowing there are killers lining you up....
mark = cleanly catching the ball without it touching the ground, but only catching a kick, not a handball specky = the move where you use another player's shoulders as a boost to get better leverage for a mark
Aussie Rules has 18 players per team plus interchange, a game lasts around 90 minutes in 4 quarters, and the field is about 125 yards from end to end Points are scored with goals and behinds, a goal is worth 6 points and the ball is kicked between the middle uprights, and a behind is between the outer posts and worth 1 point.
Tia Cd 125 yards! Think again. There are 2 fifty metre arcs and a fifty metre square, that’s 165 yards, plus the distance between the centre square and the 50’s. My team Geelong’s ground is 170 metres and that’s 186 yards. When you are explaining the game to people from other countries, get it right!
@@xaj1543 you do see I wrote ABOUT 125yds, I was doing math on the fly and I know every ground is different too with some. Bigger than others.. That's like saying VFL park and the MCG are the same
@@tiacd3780 What is wrong with you, when you are wrong, you are wrong. 125 yards is no where near the length of any ground. The shortest ground is the SCG and it is 170 yards long.

You were completely wrong in your comment but it seems you are having trouble accepting it. If your math is that wrong on the fly, as you say, then don’t bother! Also, the games last more like 110-120 minutes, remember the clock stops for every stoppage in play. It is so annoying that someone who is obviously clueless jumps in to explain the game to an American. Do you even follow the game at all? You should just butt out of the boy talk and watch the AFLW, or the A Fumble LW as it should be known. Hmmm, I’m not sure now, you are one weird individual. I can’t decide if you are a plus size woman, a man trying to be a plus sized woman or some twisted and confused plus sized cross dresser. Which is it?
@@xaj1543 nothing wrong with me, I was trying to be pretty general about things, and i was not saying VFL park is smaller/bigger than the MCG, I had a north american friend once ask if VFL park was the same place as the MCG as at the time it was held in the same reverence as the MCG. That is what I was alluding to in that comment, not on the size of the parks. As to getting personal, just shows how typical a keyboard warrior you are when you have no images on a profile and have to hide behind trying to attack someones personal appearance when you run out of comments. As to who I am, just another human being on this planet trying to live my best life and enjoy the great game of AFL.
@@tiacd3780 Looking for more excuses, being completely wrong is not being, general about things, it is being wrong, but you can’t admit that. How have I run out of comments? I have shown you to be wrong and given several examples and statistics, I am not searching for a way out like you, I have more than proved my point. Also, we don’t call the ground, a park, you must be British. I think perhaps you have spent too long watching those sick perverted channels you subscribe to.
They run up to 40 kilometers per game possibly more. Most of the punters that play NFL from Australia are former AFL players. It's similar to Gaelic Football in Ireland only they play with a round ball.
AFL is an unruly sport for the toughest of the tough. In other words, only for Aussies. I mean, Dermott, a Hawthorn player, played in the Grand Final with broken ribs. Bloody legend. And you NEVER. I mean NEVER. Call AFL rugby.
@@dyinginside273 1989 Grand Final. Dermot Brereton - broken ribs, Robert Dipierdimenico - perforated lung. And I'm a Geelong supporter. Most amazing Grand Final ever!
@@markwestaway7207 if you think that Australian Rules Football is toughest sport because of Dermott Brereton got his ribs broken THEN think again for our Rugby League Football Code is lot more tougher than the Australian Rules Football Code simply because, The 1970 Grand Final In the 1970 grand finale, Sattler played with a broken jaw to help Souths to victory over Manly Warringah. In the premiership decider of 1970 South Sydney Rabbitohs were up against the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles at the Sydney Cricket Ground on the (19th) September. Having lost the previous Grand Final to the Balmain Tigers, Souths were desperate to win. Approximately ten minutes into the game Sattler collapsed after being hit with a forearm by Manly forward John Bucknall while not in possession of the ball. He suffered a double fracture to his jaw but pleaded to teammate Mike Cleary, "Hold me up so they don't know I'm hurt". He was helped up and continued to play in the game. At half time Souths were leading 12-6 when his teammates learnt about his injury. During the interval he refused treatment and insisted he continue playing. He also told the side, "The next bloke who tries to cut me out of the play is in trouble," to prevent his teammates trying to protect him from further injury. At the end of the game South Sydney had scored 3 tries to nil in a 23-12 victory. He later went to hospital to receive treatment but only after receiving the Giltinan Shield and making an acceptance speech. John Bucknall did not finish the game. When it comes to toughness is that Dermott Brereton is absolutely (NOTHING) comparing to Johnny (John) Saddler at all who was playing with a broken jaw of course.
Yo. There’s 18 players on each side on the field at one time. You have to kick the ball between the longer posts for 6 points and if you hit the big post of get it between the big post and the smaller post, it counts as a behind (1 point). You can kick the ball or hand pass it, you can’t throw the ball. You can pass/ kick in any direction. If you kick it and someone catches it, it’s called a mark and you can either stop and take your time with the ball (no one can tackle you at that time) or you can keep running and can be tackle. A legal tackle is when you grab the opponent between the shoulder and top half of the legs. There are 4 quarters with at least 20 minutes per quarter with added stoppage time at the end like soccer... I’m probably missing a few things but this should give you blokes a better idea about the sport.
Our ex players go over and punt at the end of their careers. In Australia you grow up kicking a ball on the run. It’s normal. There would be 100 guys with enough hang time and accuracy ( and fitness ) who could go over and punt in the NFL with the right training.
NFL coaches are relatively new to the idea that athletes that aren't from there can be far superior in aspects of their game...every NFL team should have an Aussie Rules punter...no brainer...they have the length and hang time and can kick shapes punt receivers have never even seen before...as a bonus, they will punish any returner who makes it through and is anywhere near them on the last line...tackling and kicking are their bread and butter...
Lol, "Better than footy"? It's our national religion and the most exhilarating football code in the world. Watch the 2020 Grand Final for a great example of elite play under great pressure. Also check out A Decade of Dustin Martin. He's on his way to prove himself the best player to ever put on footy boots.
@@freddyfrazber480 Of course! And I'm thankful that Richmond nurtured him when he could so easily have ended up like Darren Millane. Had he become the player he is for any other club, Tigers supporters would hate the sight of him because he is the best. I've loved footy since I was a kid in the 70's and have never seen a player on Dusty's level. Even my Dad (a lifelong Saints supporter) is in awe of Dusty.
As a Australian football player i will explain. You have to catch the ball and kick it in to the goal or you kick it to your teammate. If you catch it when it did not touch the ground it's a mark. A mark is a free kick. As for the goal the posts are the goals the sides are 1 point the middle is 6 points.
It’s called AFL ( Australian Football League) if the ball goes Between the two center post 6 points this is called a goal .post or between outer post 1 point this is called a behind . If the opposing team touches the ball before it crosses the line it’s a touch .The catches where they run up thier backs is called a mark and it allowed a unaposed kick or pass . Tackles have to be below the shoulders . Game is 4 quarters 20min each this is the basics to watch a full game I recommend the 2016 grand final just becouse my team in in it and it was a grate game
This video is Australian rules football, not any kind of rugby. The other video I have seen you react to was a rugby union video. What you need to know is that there are two different sports called rugby union, and rugby league. In my opinion the best hits come from the NRL, which is the Australian national rugby league. A good example is the Until I collapse biggest rugby league hits video.
Grew up in AFL obsessed South Australia. Love this game no other I have seen has the athleticism and excitement - especially in a game that goes down to the wire. The mighty Hawks (Hawthorn) are arguably the best team of all time.

I’m Australian I play football there 4 20 minute quarters, u have 4 post the outside is 1 point middle is 6 points. U kick and handball there’s speakers what the guy did when he jumped o the players there’s 18 people on the field there’s bumps tackles it’s similer to a rugby ball. There’s more to say but it’s a brutal sport
so pretty much its 18 players a side and both teams are trying to kick the ball through the posts and is constant running and kicking and catching. the two middle posts if you kick the ball through is 6 points, and either side of these two posts are two extra goals and if it goes through there its 1 point. players can kick it to one another and if its caught on the full (no bounce) they get 10 seconds to kick wherever they want without any player coming to tackle them. Its just about trying to kick the ball between the posts on each side of the field. Its a very fast paced game.
AFL and NRL are different games. AFL is played on a bigger field and with a smaller ball, yo also have to bounce the ball every 15 metres. NRL is play on a field that is 120 metres long. To score in afl you have to kick the ball in between the two taller post to get 6 points or hit the big post or get it in between one of the smaller posts and a bigger post to get one point. To score in nrl you have to run in two the end zone which is ten metres wide and put the ball down for four points and then you take a kick which is called a conversion for another two points. AFL is played with 22 people, only 18 people are on the field at a time and the other four are on the bench. NRL is played with 17 people, only 13 are on the field at a time and four people on the bench. There ya go boys I got you.
There are already tons on punters in NFL. At last count about 60 in college and about 6 in NFL, Including Dickson (Seattle). The Ray Guy Award, presented to the top punter in NCAA Division I FBS football, has been won by Australians in six out of the last seven seasons (2013-2019). AFL is a unique game that is nothing like any other code of football in that it is played on an oval field approx. 180 yds x 160 yds. Is played over 4 x 20 minute qtrs. (adding time on is approx. 30 mins/qtr.). It is virtually non stop and players are far fitter than any other code, in that they run 8/9 miles per game and play without pads. It is also older than any other code, started and the rules codified in 1858, and the first league was formed in 1877. Welcome to AFL, for a better understanding of the rules watch "What is AFL", also watch " AFL 50 greatest marks (catches)", "AFL greatest Hits"," AFL best Goals" & "AFL biggest Brawls"
@@thenorseprodigy7466 ON average Aussie Rules players run 14 kms per game with elite players running up to close to 20 kms EPL players run on average 11.7 kms. In addition Aussie Rules players are reaching higher speeds for longer periods. You need to play an Aussie Rules game to appreciate the level of fitness you need. In addition you need strength and be multi skilled with both your hands and your feet. You also need peripheral vision as it can be much more dangerous. www.the42.ie/afl-stars-push-themselves-hardest-379060-Mar2012/#:~:text=English%20Premier%20League%20teams%20run,on%20what%20position%20they%20play.
Ok guys there are 18 men on each side on the field at a time The game is at least 2 hours long Kick through the big postscis 6 points between big and small is 1 point
You can not run it through the posts to score, you have to kick the ball between the big posts for 6 points, but it can not be touched after it goes off your boot otherwise it's only worth ond
"like actual football"???? AFL is the oldest codified form of football. Gah. Watch 'what is AFL' it is short and simple, but may answer some of your questions
@@Withak81 actually in high school most players play both ways. It’s beneficial to see when there getting scouted by college recruits what position is best so that way they play that position for the rest of there college career and if there great enough in the NFL. I really don’t understand why Football is used in the American sport but it is what it is, don’t see why it’s nonsense though it’s apart of the game.
catching the ball is called a mark but when they take a high flying mark its called a speckie and you get 6 points for kicking a goal between the two big middle posts and a point for the smaller ones or if its touched going through the goal posts and its 18 players per side on the field and 4 on the interchange bench
if the kicks over 15 meters and the someone catches it that's a mark so they get a free kick they guy who kicked like crazy on the run that's buddy franklin he's like the David Beckham of afl I grew up supporting hawthorn and he's everyone favourite player before he left to play for another team for more money
