I don’t think you know how insane those “intercept” style marks are. You must keep your eyes on the ball or you’ll be penalised if you take someone out. (If you’re watching the ball you can go through them it doesn’t matter). So those guys are running blind at full speed with no pads, knowing full well that there are guys running full speed at them to the same ball
In 1994 I heard a Sports Photographer say the Afl Mark is the most spectacular sports photo one can take ! He said think about it , a grown man standing on another mans shoulders airborne catching a football
As an explaination as well, when you hear the commentators talk about "That's the car" or "they've just stolen the car from..." The prize for mark of the year each year is a car. These big marks aren't super common, you'll get maybe 2 or 3 big grabs a game, but there's 9 games a week for 22 weeks plus finals, so there's a lot of competition for mark of the year.
I was a Carlton fan in the days of Jezza & one saw him now out of a pack because of footsteps. Can't say I ever thought about him as most others did because of that. You stand no matter & take what's served up. I watched him kick ten goals at least twice but all I could think, "He ran away".
The oldest teams in the world are from this sport . Melbourne and Geelong are both over 160 years old . Also part of the game originated from settlers watching hundreds of indigenous brothers playing in a similar fashion kicking a possum skin ball around and beating shit out of each other to get it. Indigenous Australians thrive in this code. The most remote communities will have a ground to play on. Good to see you enjoying it mate.
I havent had my ass kicked harder than when i used to play against my aboriginal cousins. never ran out of energy, everyone of them could knock you on your ass, and seemed to jump your height on a whim.
Having played the game when I was younger, Bartel's, Reiwoldt's, and Brown's marks are underrated. Running full steam into an oncoming group of 100kg plus guys is as courageous as it gets. I'd go Moorcroft, Brown and Reiwoldt.
I totally agree, not many people understand the risks and especially the context with some of the marks, there were some that saved or won the game for there team.
Another great video partner! If you ever get out here, me and my mates would love to take you to the footy. The game is even more incredible watching it live. Stay safe bruh.
Reiwoldts mark at 6 is one of my all time favourites. A 6’4” 200+ lb man coming off a full ground sprint dove through 3 players going the other way and came out with the W
@@eth0600 yeah, only played a handful of games after it unfortunately, career ruined by injury stemming from that mark. but in 50 years he'll still be remembered. Same way that everyone knows Jesaulenko because of his awesome grab 50 years ago in the 1970 grand final (in front of 128,000 in the stands)
Tony Modra known as GODRA when I was a kid I used to go to training locally here in Adelaide and watch him do freakish shit. Crazy goals, crazy marks and he pulled crazy hot women. Owns a surf shop now and is an absolute legend.
I used to be a bouncer at Players nightclub in those days... Modra was always getting drunk and doing stupid shit in that club thinking he could get away with it because the club was owned by a few of the Crows players at the time.. Great footy player... shitty human.
@@tkps If he had controlled it to the ground yes, But it hit his hand, rolled down his outstretched arm onto his chest, then bounces off it as he simultaneously hits the ground. Theres no grip on the ball or stopping of the balls momentum.
Boom Alex Jesaulenko - retro Carlton in the good ye olde days when we used to win grand finals. And a little bit of 1980's Warwick Capper in there - He played for Sydney's first-ever AFL team - the first interstate team. They used to be South Melbourne but moved out of Victoria in 1982. Carlton will always be my team, but Sydney are my second favourite.
Fun fact: the AFL’s first match was in the 1870s but it was called VFA (Victorian Football Association) and there was another team from South Australia called SAFA ( South Australian Football Association)
There’s a play called ‘Big Men Fly’ about Pre AFL (VFL) written by David Williamson. And a poem called ‘Life Cycle’ by Bruce Dawe, talking about the importance of VFL/AFL in Melbourne.
Another fun fact for Americans, Jeremy Howe (featured 3 times) takes marks like that for fun every week. Also, the shortest person anyone jumps over is James Hird at 5'10". The other guys jumped over are between 6' and 6'8 tall!!
As a girl who grew up in Melbourne, Victoria, I LOVE Aussie Rules and have been to so many games over my life. Sadly my son has not inherited the footy, car racing and drag racing gene from me. This to me [my opinion only) is one of the best sports in the world and these guys are tough.
Goddards mark was a great mark but its even better when you know the context. That mark was in a grand final and he played for St Kilda, the year was 2010 and at that time they hadn't won a grand final since 1966 and they still haven't at the time of me writing this.
FYI, the black brothers in Australia are phenominal and pull off some amazing shit in this game! Just a shame so many are in remote country towns and can't get a chance to show there talent, pretty sure they found Liam Jarruh in a remote Northern territory town playing barefoot!
That Shaun Smith mark was deserving of number one. There's a great picture of that mark, from the front when he's at the peak and there's a camera slash behind him. My favourite mark of that lot though is number 8, Chris Tarrant. I was at the game and he was a lot higher than this footage shows. Should have been mark of the year.
In school we play "mark is up" idk if they had other names for it. But basically.... one person kicks the footy to the group. Whoever get the mark, get the pleasant job of kicking it back to the rest of the group as they jump and climb all over eachother
Loved the vid. The other cool thing, if you watch it closely, is that there are some internal references by the commentators to other marks in the reel.
if you watch the Shaun Smith mark closely, you'll see a flash from a camera in the crowd. The photo was sold to very newspaper in Australia for big bucks..
AFL footy is almost back roll on March. Our boys are tough and graceful. It's not crazy. It's just what we do. My boy was drafted to the AFL Go Collingwood. Like most Aussie kids, I've been going to the footy since we were 5 years old.
Great channel mate and the look on your face when they take a mark thats the game we love here in Australia check out the NRL sometime you'll love it :)
AFL players have kicked the ball up to 84 yards [76.8 metres] (Paul Vinar, for Geelong, holding the record) They regularly kick the ball huge distances with precision accuracy.
The first documented game of Aussie Rules was played in 1858, but there were unofficial games played as far back as the 1820's. In 1877, the South Australian Football Association(SAFA)was formed, followed by the Victorian Football Association(VFA) three days later; the Tasmanian Football League(TFL) formed in 1879, and the Western Australian Football League(WAFL) in 1885. The formation of the Victorian Football League(VFL) in 1897, after a rift with the VFA; in 1907 the SAFA was renamed as the South Australian National Football League(SANFL), and is the oldest surviving Football League of any code in Australia(and 7th oldest club Football League in the world). The first Intercolonial matched was played between Victoria and South Australia in 1879. State of Origin Rules were introduced in 1977. In 1982, the VFL began it's expansion plan by moving South Melbourne to Sydney ; in 1990 the VFL changed it's name to the Australian Football League(AFL).
Alex Jesaulenko was a migrants son who grew up in Canberra in the 1960's, I'm sure his families background would have been steeped in soccer. I'm still amazed an athlete this gifted originated from sleepy 60's backwater Canberra
Some of these are still disputed today and some seem a bit iffy to me but the rule is " the umpire deems a mark if he believes the player had control of the ball for any amount of time, even a split second ", so they probably all qualify. Check out ' Roll out the barrel ". AFL's longest kicks. Afl players regularly kick the ball 60 to 80 metres [ a metre is a bit longer than a yard. ] The aussie rules ball is a little larger and a little heavier than an NFL ball and the leather is smooth with no grip pattern. Cheers mate.
That Brendan Goddard mark at 8:22 was taken late in the last quarter of the 2010 Grand Final, when scores were level. The game ended up being a draw and as it was back then, the teams had to come back to next week and play another game.
What I love about AFL is the women's league that was started a few years ago has become super popular too! I remember going to see the crow's first game and MAN it was fun following their journey to the championship that season!
I should warn that those screamer marks are dangerous as hell; guy I went to school with caught a football boot to the face during one, cleats and all. Had to get about a dozen stitches put in. Damn fun to watch though.
Incase you didn't know in AFL a mark can be awarded if the player has long enough control of the ball prior to dropping the ball and that can also be interpreted by also juggling the ball "3" or more touches without dropping it or having it taken from you or touched by another player
A form of "Australian Rules" has been played for more than 160 years, beginning with 'Melbourne rules'. Some of the rules first adopted by Tom wills et al were based on a game called 'Marngrook' which Wills played as a boy on his fathers Country estate.' Mangrook was played by the local Aboriginal boys with a rolled up possum skin. They leapt high in the air to catch it, among other similarities to modern AFL Melbourne FC is the oldest football club in the world, founded in 1858, then Geelong, then Carlton (of the extant clubs) This of course pre-dates 'gridiron by several decades, and also predates "association Football" aka soccer. Victorian Football Association (VFA) was founded in the 1870's to further enforce and codify the rules and provide a consistent fixture to the various clubs. In 1896 the more successful clubs broke away to form the VFL (Victorian Football League) There were parallel leagues formed in West Australia, South Australia and Tasmania. The Northern states favoured Rugby Union and later Rugby League for reasons I cannot explain, but probably just NSW-Vic rivalry. Aussie rules is deeply embedded in the cultural life and history of Melbourne, in particular. It has a lot to do with historical socio economic factors, such as Melbourne being the richest city on earth for a while (per head of population) due to the gold rush of the 1850's -1880's and political movements which lead eventually to the notion of the 8 hour day. Workers in Melbourne fought for and won the right to work only half days on Saturday, which gave them time for recreation on Saturday afternoon. this meant that players and spectators were available to form a formal fixture of matches and organised competition. It also helps that the game itself is utterly breath-taking when played well. BTW, the reason the grounds are so big (the MCG which was highlighted is almost 200 yards long and 180 yards wide) is that they were Cricket grounds, and because colonial era Australian cities and towns had so much unused space, they could afford to make huge sporting fields. Fun fact, there is no 'regulation' size or shape to an AFL ground, each one has unique characteristics, some wide and almost circular, like the MCG, some long and narrow, Like Cardinia Park in Geelong, Some much smaller end to end, like the Sydney Cricket Ground
other then grand final Essendon and Collingwood Anzac day match are big day. I grew up with Chris Tarrent and his brother Robbie Turner I used to baby sit him at the football in Mildura so most kids grew playing or going to footy all over Australia
as an Australian, I can explain what a mark is... a mark is where you run up your opponents back with spiky shoes on to catch a ball any normal human could not.
These crazy marks are also known as hangers or speckies. (Speckies= spectacular) Shoulder charges are legal, even if you don't have the ball ! You can't get sent off.
at 8:17 with Brendon Goddard that was Grand final day (your superbowl) where Collingwood and St Kilda drew the 3rd ever draw at a Grand final in the league's entire history. They had a replay the following week where Collingwood defeated St Kilda by more than double the points. Just letting you know why the crowd is going bannas.
We also have a metal called the Brownlow Metal that a person can win each year but one year 2 people won it. Last year The AFL was alot different because the Virus and they played up in Queensland. They be starting pre-season but the season starts in March
if you have an nVidia graphics card you can try the nVida Broadcast app for both sound suppression and background effects. might help with the green screen. in fact ya don't even need a green screen to remove the background. :)
This year with the Lions will look like a ridiculous marking/goalkicking compilation with Daniher, McStay, McCarthy, Cameron, Coleman x2 , Cockatoo, Robbo, Baily, Hipwood , Rayner etc all running around in the front half
Brad Norman Brisbane needs to be careful there, because they could end up with the same problem Collingwood had. They had Cox, Mihocek, DeGoey, Adams, Daicos, Elliott, Cloke, Stephenson, Howe, Treloar, and Reid all up forward. Howe was sent to the back line because they lost two back there through injury (he was brought in to play up forward), Cloke, Daicos, Elliott, and Reid couldn't get a game, Stephenson out suspended so he wouldn't get a game, which caused Cooke and Treloar to be sent to the Dogs, Reid retired, and Cox also now backup ruck to Grundy. Too many players up forward will mean someone isn't getting a kick, and they would all be fighting for the same spot.
