NFL Fans React To "The Wild World Of Aussie Rules Football | VICE World Of Sports" 

Please note that these teams are owned by their members not privately so the Bezos, Gates or any other rich guy could not buy a team but he could pay his hundred bucks and become a member. The AFL which runs the game is owned by the teams in it. This is a difficult concept for foreigners to understand.

I live in South Australia and our big rivalry is port Adelaide POWER vs Adelaide CROWS and the games between them are called “THE SHOWDOWN”

The AFL has been played in the US for a little over 25 years, there's more than 40 clubs throughout and some have a women's league too, cheers

Collingwood won the premiership last year with Mason Cox. Collingwoods average attendance was 76,000 at home and 62,000 at away games (where the grounds are smaller and interstate) and the Grand final was watched by 100,024 in the MCG, what a great day.... I was at the 1970 GF when 121,696 watched Carlton win (unfortunately)

I'm a West Aussie, and support the West Coast Eagles. Our biggest rivalry is with the Fremantle Dockers, which is the other West Aussie team. We have 2 derby's against each other per year. It's a lot of fun - my bestie is a Dockers fan, and we go to the Derby together, one of us goes home with bragging rights, the other goes home the battering board 🤣😂🤣😂 we love our footy 😁

That was probably the best introduction to AFL I’ve seen. It captured the feeling of the game way more than the instructional reactions I’ve seen.

Hawthorn and Geelong are big rivals as well....should watch the 1989 Grand Final...that game was brutal with lots of biff!

The AFL is loved by Australians and is our national sport. Go the Adelaide Crows! Our rival is the Port Adelaide Power. Rich history behind this rivalry, and we face off 2 times a year in the regular season.

As a Hawthorn supporter, I’m not sure that I’d call Geelong a “rival”, but most Geelong supporters seem to think there is. That being said, the 1989 grand final between Geelong and Hawthorn is an absolute classic.

That Joffa guy pleaded guilty to child sexual abuse of a 14 year old boy

Best Sport & Athletes On Earth!!!👍

Essendon/ Bombers who I go for have Rival with a few clubs too with Carlton, Collingwood, Richmond and Hawthorn. Essendon and Collingwood play on our ANZAC day.

When my husband migrated to Australia he saw the football on TV and dubbed it “aerial ping pong” … until he went to a game with an Aussie workmate. Then he picked a team Geelong. and stuck with them for decades. Finally after decades they looked like they could win a Grand Final (they had lost quite a few) and when he couldn’t get two ticket in the normal draw, he sprang for a two ticket package that cost $thousands for him and our son. He still says it was the most euphoric day of his life to be there when they won.

Mason Cox, became the first U. S born player to win An AFL Premiership w Collingwood (2023)….. Mike Pyke from Canada won a premiership with Sydney in 2012 ( think he came from Canadian Hockey).

Geelong Hawthorn 1989 grand final - most brutal game of football ever Collingwood Essendon 1990 grand final and the brawl at qtr time

A Queenslander who doesn’t follow any football especially league but I like Aussie Rules - my Dad used to take me to Brisbane for special games when 2 of the TEAMS from Victoria would come up & play a match. I still have a team tho - Collingwood. I don’t know why … (said in a vacuous spaced voice).

The thing that the video didn’t show was the huge banners the players run through coming out of the race for the first time. They have messages on them from “Congratulations xxxx for 150 games” to some of the most clever burns of their opposition.

I have been in Phnom Penh a few times to see a friend, and we always to go the Aussie bar to watch the AFL (and cricket in our summer).

The greatest sport of them all. It all kicks off for 2024 in a couple of weeks and I can't wait.

Just because most other countries only have one type of football doesn't mean that Americans have to call it football, it is Soccer. Everyone in the English speaking world understands what soccer is. ⚽

The hardest & toughest sport on the planet, requiring the players to be able to attack, defend & kick goals if possible. They are tall, fit, skillful, athletic & tough. No pauses, high scoring unlike soccer or gridiron.

React to Hawthorn v Essendon. Line in the sand game. The violence is next level.

Carlton vs Collingwood have always had the biggest rivalry , I am a Carlton fan but Collingwood are the biggest sporting team in Australia

I knew nothing about this sport, except for its name, thanks for this one 👍

The first bloke Aussiesplained AFL like a Legend !

Collingwood and Carlton are two neighbouring inner city Melbourne suburbs. The rivalry dates back to the original VFL when it was only Melbourne teams with the exception of Geelong.

Would love to see Michael Dickson and Mason Cox have a conversation as they’ve swapped countries and gone into sports they were pretty much entirely unfamiliar with when they did

Awesome video guys we live our Aussie Rules footy down under... Go Crows 💪

The big problem for Australian Rules Football being exported internationally is always going to be stadiums. An Afl playing surface is about 170 mts to 180 mts long. The US, and Europe's main sports, which obviously have the biggest and best stadiums are, in Europe, soccer, and in the US, American Football. Those playing surfaces are nowhere near large enough. Countries that play cricket, like NZ, India, and the UK are places where they could play games. As far as televising games from Australia, they would need to be a delayed telecast because of the time differences.

Just a note. The collingwood supporter in this video is now considered quite problematic. Was charged with abusing a child.

Collingwood is named after Vice Admiral Cuthbert Collingwood Second in Command of the battle of the Trafalgar

I'm a huge mad Carlton supporter since the 80s

Kids as young as 5-6 years old play this every day at school.

10:25 not war, not since the ‘blood rule’ was introduced. They used to say it is a forty minute fight and occasionally a footy game would break out. The old school players and fans had a chant after the change in game rules… “BRING BACK THE BIFF!!” (Biff- a fist fight)

I feel like Australian Football is a sport that anyone from around the world could enjoy watching. But the only thing holding it back is the lack of cultural influence Australia has on the rest of the world. Hence why it’s a niche but beautiful game native to Australia 🇦🇺

3 words is all you need for your search " AFL demolition derby " one of the wildest games between 2 fierce rivals

There are a lot of rivalries - Sydney Swans v Hawthorn and Sydney Swans v Essendon, Adelaide Crows v Port Adelaide (the Showdown match), Geelong v Hawthorn, Richmond v Essendon and some more.

3:55 I love how he says all you can Hear is the birds… those are 100% Americans bird calls dubbed in🤦‍♂️😂 great reaction though boys🤙🏼

Australian NRL rugby league opening round of 2 game's/4 team's will be played in Las Vagas @ Raiders home stadium this weekend...It's gonna be huge!

Go Pies! Nuff said!

Some of the biggest rivalries today are: 1) Almost any Victorian Club vs Collingwood (Carlton vs Collingwood is probably biggest, but Essendon, Richmond and even Melbourne are probably not *that* far behind. And in recent history Hawthorn and Geelong are in that mix) 2) Any other "same state" rivalries. I *think* in this order....Adelaide vs Port Adelaide ("The Showdown"), West Coast vs Fremantle ("The Western Derby"), Sydney vs GWS ("The battle of the bridge"), Brisbane vs Gold Coast ("The Q Clash") 3) Recent history rivalries - usually but not always becaus of finals history (Geelong vs Collingwood, Geelong vs Hawthorn, Hawthorn vs Sydney, GWS vs Western Bulldogs, Western Bulldogs vs Melbourne, Richmond vs Gold Coast (this one isn't quite the same, but these games are almost always close), Melbourne vs Geelong, Hawthorn vs Essendon (and there's a few fading ones like West Coast vs Sydney, Brisbane vs Port) - I'm sure there's a *lot* of others 4) Special Event Blockbusters - these are a bit manufactured (And normally involve 2 Vic sides, quite often Collingwood) but....things like...Anzac Day (Collingwood and Essendon is the main one, although the AFL seems to be trying to develop Melbourne vs Richmond as an "Anzac Day Eve"), Indigenous Round (Essendon vs Richmond), Birthday of the Monarch (Collingwood vs Melbourne) The AFL has occasionally talked about a "Rivalry Round", and I think even had one for a while, but some rivalries are stronger while others shift over tim.....

Have recommended it before but probably got lost but you check out some of the videos about Aussies going into College Football and the NFL because this sport makes amazing punters like Michael Dickson (Aussies in Football is a good one to start with)

There is an AFL in the US if you search for it. Mason Cox's brother plays in the league

3:55 I love how he says all you can Hear is the birds… those are 100% Americans bird calls dubbed in🤦‍♂️😂 great reaction tho boyz

The Carlton and Collingwood rivalry is arguably one of the oldest rivalry in world sport, and draw the biggest crowds in VFL/AFL history the biggest being the 1970 Grand Final 121, 696 fans jam packed the Melbourne Cricket Ground witness one of the greatest comebacks in history which Carlton prevailed

Please don't call Soccer, football. Just say Soccer. ⚽ That's a good name for less confusion. Don't worry about the Soccer people!

Sydney Swans had an American as well..he retired a fair while ago but still lives here. His name is Mike Pyke.

You guys need to check out Roy & HG commentary on olympics!

Most afl teams have average membership of between 50 , 000 to 100 , 000 membership it has been around for nearly 200 years...

We have derbys! In Sydney, it's the Sydney Swans v Greater Western Sydney (GWS) Giants, twice a season.

AFL in Victoria is like a religion to the supporters.

Great reaction, thanks guys. Keep reacting to AFL and Rugby League clips (I'm a huge fan of both codes), and I'll keep liking and commenting on them - do we have a deal?

The season 2024 starts in a few weeks. You’ll probably be able to find live streams of games online.

The really old games from decades ago are rougher and tougher, before they decided to make the game 'safer', they're the best games to watch. Same with rugby, league, football[soccer] and even cricket.

Go pies.for the ones who are my age and can remember the rivalry between these 2 powerfull clubs .it was brilliant.i have lived my whole fucking life waiting for coll v carl grandfinal of the modern era .pull your fingers out carlton .this year 🙏🙏

We have had others try and not stay as long as Mason Cox has.

Hey guys, this great sport has already been brought to the US and there are videos on RU-vid that you could take a look at of AFL in America 😊

Calton and Collingwood are both inner suburbs of Melbourne.

Hi Spencer and Daniel. I am a Collingwood Magpies fan. I'm also a fan of the Baltimore Ravens. 💜🖤 Guess who won the AFL premiership in 2023?

The game was invented 1859 to keep Cricketers fit in winter. Its been around for 160 plus years...so its older than almost EVERY SPORT except Soccer, Rugby and Cricket...The Melbourne Football team is the OLDEST Sporting team in the world that is still playing at the top of there sport...The field is approx 190 yds long x 158 yds wide.. The big teams have 100,000 Paid members. All teams are owned by the AFL, Not privately owned. The Grand Final" Super Bowl" averages 100 000 people every year. Players range from 5ft 6 to 7 ft tall most players are between 160lbs - 230 lbs of Pure muscle, around 10% body fat at the most... They run a 10.5 to 11.5 second 100 metres, the run approx 6 - 12 miles a game. Each quarter goes for 20 mins plus time on for stoppages like soccer which could be 10 mins each quarter. So a game can be 125 mins long... after each qtr they have a 6 min break, 20 minutes at half time.. They play 23 games a year plus 4 weeks of finals " Play offs". the Top 4 have a double chance , 1st v 4th, 2nd v 3rd 5th v 8th, 6th v 7th. Winners of 5v8 & 6v7 losses eliminated, Winners play losses of 1v4 & 2v4, from then on losses are eliminated, until the final 2 play off in the Grand Final in front of 100,000 people on the last Saturday in Sept at the MCG in Melbourne...

Ravens - Steelers are a good analogy but imagine it going for more than 100 years. 😮

Hi guys. Other AFL rivals are; Essendon Vs Hawthorn Adelaide Crows Vs Port Adelaide Sydney Swans Vs Greater Western Sydney Giants Fremantle Vs West Coast Eagles Williamstown Vs Port Melbourne (Victorian league) Brisbane Lions Vs Gold Coast Suns Carlton Vs Essendon Melbourne Vs Collingwood Carlton Vs Richmond Collingwood Vs Richmond Western Bulldogs Vs GWS Giants Hawthorn Hawks Vs Geelong Cats Brisbane Lions Vs Collingwood This is a relatively recent one. But the Brisbane Lions are a merger of the Brisbane Bears and the Fitzroy Lions and Fitzroy and Collingwood are adjacent suburbs and they had a rivalry. And with last year the Brisbane Lions and Collingwood Magpies have faced each other in three AFL grand finals now. Edit was that auto correct changed Port Adelaide to Portugal Adelaide. 😂 Stupid autocorrect! Edit 2, Essendon and Collingwood were great rivals in 1990 and they now have an annual match on ANZAC day. This is a special rivalry that has to do with respect. The respect for the ANZACS and respect for service and it ended up with the two clubs having respect for each other. Anyway add Essendon Vs Collingwood to the list. Even though every other club thinks that they are in a rivalry with Collingwood. 😂 Essendon won the first VFL competition in 1897 and was a driving force for the VFL splitting from the old VFA in 1897. Also Essendon, Collingwood and Carlton are tied with 16 VFL / AFL premiership wins. 😮 There are many rivalries, some very old and some new. In 2005 and 2006 the same two teams played in the grand finals. Sydney Swans and the West Coast Eagles. This became a rivalry but has dissolved now.

West coast vs free huge rivals!!! Huge big time brawls!!!! Go eagles

Check out the USAFL- AFL played in the States

Great vid. Worth noting, there are way more injuries in American football than Australian

Mason's story is a great video to react to

You would be surprised at the lack of injury in these games.Yes they do occur but don't forget these guys are professional sportsmen,having played the game since childhood.Everything you see is "normal"...…no helmets,no pads..,.100minutes a game......players often run 12 miles with little rest. The Chiefs looked cooked by 3/4 time in the superbowl in a 1hr game that takes over 3hrs to play.

collingwood and carlton are suburbs next to each other

Collingwood and Carlton are both suberbs of Melbourne they are both close to the city centre and close to the MCG...many AFL teams are suberbs of Melbourne.like essendon and Richmond..and lots of others .but some of the teams moved to another city or state .

The facts are Carlton&Essendon have 30yrs rivalry on the Carlton &Collingwood rivalry,and u already have Australian Rules football played in the states and have for years.GO DONS

It's got nothing to do with healthcare, the teams have private health insurance for the players and are generally bumped up above everyone else in a private hospital setting, if in fact there is a short waiting list because they'll pay the money. They see the best and are given the best, most of these specialist sports doctors, physios and many more health disciplines are inbedded in most teams on a daily basis/weekly basis. We just love our footy, I played for 30 years before I thought you know what, I'm too old for this to do it socially in the local comp anymore lol.

AFL is played in the US - there is a yank that plays in the AFl in Australia - Mason Cox

season starts soon, get ready

The problem with being a world sport is that you got to be carrying a aussie rules football when your a baby as soon as you can walk and kicking it and hand passing and tackling and bouncing the ball .it take all that time approximately 17 years to have the skills and fitness and toughness to play AFL.

Here’s a tip. No more Joffa when it comes to AFL. In fact, no more Joffa full stop.

As a one-eyed Collingwood supporter, I need to say that as much as I'm enjoying this Vice Sports vid about Aussie Rules, I REALLY wish they had NOT used Jeff "Joffa" Corfe, the FORMER Collingwood cheer squad member!! He is a disgrace, and is no longer connected to Collingwood FC!! That man is an absolute embarrassment to Collingwood and the AFL!!

Mason Cox IS the ONLY American playing in the AFL, and he plays for the MIGHTY Collingwood Magpies, the 2023 Premiers!! 🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤 Collingwood is the team you SHOULD support!! They are the BIGGEST and the BEST club in the AFL!! They're the most lived club, AND the most hated club in the league!! 😂

THIS IS PURELY AN AUSTRALIAN GAME ORIGINALLY FORMED BY INDIGENOUS PEOPLE OF AUSTRALIA IN 1854

There's already some teams in the USA 🇺🇸

I'm a huge fan of Embrace the Suck too. ✅

Daisy had quite a good reason to leave Collingwood ( Magpies ) and go to Carlton ( Blues ). Collingwood sacked their legendary coach during the season he won their second premiership since the 1950's.....the 2nd in about 50 + years.....and the club lied about it. The sacked title winning coach was blindsided, but halfway through the season the gangsters mole running the club was telling the world that the sacked coach was part of the deal and helped formulate the clubs strategy for the president ( gangsters mole ) to appoint his man crush as the new coach. Mick Malthouse clearly knew nothing about it till the news informed him that he himself had agreed to step aside for the presidents first love. When Malthouse got the Carlton coaching job, Daisy was having a few problens and the new Magpie coach didnt seem to care ......so Malthouse contacted Daisy and said Hey , your still a champion player with a few years left inya.....come and play for us.

1850.s what a game Go Blues !

Only sport in the world were you get awarded a point for missing a goal🤣🤣

That fan in the crowd yelling “you dickhead” is Joffa. He is the most well known fan. Mad crazy Collingwood supporter. He was the one walking away with the hood on his end at the end, I believe. Haven’t seen him in years, anyone know what happened to him?

I'm 100% serious when I say that NFL will fade away if AFL ever takes off in the US.

You might want to review Joffa’s current status and rethink your vision of him

Carlton is my team.. we hate Collingwood.. but to be honest, so does every other team! Carlton are doing well this season so far

Fierce rivalry yes but hatred seems too strong a word. FYI all supporters are mixed up so when you go to a game and you most likely will sit next to a opposition supporters unlike soccer where they are separated by police and grounds are segregated.

You play AFL Grand final 1989 Yes great grand final

The thing with AFL is not to try to understand it you can't just embrace the Chou's enjoy and think that's fucking amazing and yes NRL is on in Vegas watch or regret not watching but be warned NFL will never be the same

The "elevator pitch" was from a convicted kiddy fiidler. Goes by the name Joffa.

Please not, that everyone hates Collingwood. And if you go to Melbourne, you'll find that a lot of people hate the suburb of Collingwood too.

See one of the great things about the game is that even when there is such a long rivalry and all the banter , there really isnt and violence , unlike soccer . Those fans can beat the shit out of each other in riots . Its so bad you would never bring your kids to a game and it would be suicide to sit in your colours , within the opersitions fans areas . Not so in AFL . Oh you will cop some banta thats for sure but you will be able to leave the stadium with your teeth intact , well unless you are a Collingwood supporter because they only have half their teeth to start off with . Another great AFL rivalry is Hawthorn and Geelong . Two teams that continually have close tough games . Check out the Kennett Curse video. The Hawthorn President made the comment that Geelong were mentally fragile whenever they played Hawthorn . Geelong then went on to beat them 11 times in a row .

Hey boys watch AFL ENFORCERS or THE WORSE AFL INJURIES both very good vids

I think it is going to break out of Australia and I’ll be devastated if that happens. We love Coxy but I don’t even want Yanks playing here. It’s bloody Eddie who will do it too, all about the money and prestige making more of a name for himself, but I’m so pissed off because that’s one more young Aussie kid that’s been playing since he was 3 in Oz kick, taking away from our own is not okay! The more popular it’s becoming by RU-vidrs outside of the country, the more it’s being seen as the best sport in the world. Ahh it’s a hard one, little nephews and nieces are playing Oz kick atm and to have to compete with other countries as well as the nation just doesn’t seem fair.

Joffa's appearance has aged horribly!!!!!

Guys, do you not know there are plenty of American AFL teams. Type in AFL clubs in America, I've seen videos about them 👍.

Oh dear. The guy describing the game is Jeffrey "Joffa" Corfe, once a leader in the Collingwood Football Club cheer squad, but now a convicted child sex offender. Embarrassing to have him featuring in a video championing our great game. Here is another video on AFL rivalries (although, in my opinion, it misses some important ones, such as Hawthorn-Geelong): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FDGX4WcyJ8I.html

You fellas are from Baltimore yeah?

Go the Swannies. Sydney Swans 😎
