RIVALS: The Wild World of Aussie Rules Football - VICE World of Sports 

Greatest rivalry in AFL Collingwood supporters and the dentist XD

But the key thing here is, while supporters might say they "hate" rival teams, you will NEVER see the kind of violence between fans that you do at a soccer game, or even NFL, hockey, etc. Fans of opposing teams aren't separated, like you often see in other sports: they sit side by side in the stands, and head to the pub afterward together looking forward to change the subject or rub it in. Australians love their sport, but they understand it's just a game.

I think the biggest rivalry in footy is everyone vs the umpires.

Just a heads up to every non-Australian watching this. Collingwood are famous for having the most feral supporters in the league, so don't judge all AFL supporters based on collingwood supporters 😂

As an American hearing Mason Cox's shifting accent is very strange. In one sentence he goes from sounding 100% Texan to 100% Australian

I'm not from Australia, a fact I will never forgive my parents for, but I was an exchange student there in the early eighties. And I absolutely fell for AFL. Still watch every week without fail. I played rugby, American football, Association football and other sports, but I wish I'd gotten more time to play Aussie rules. Most fun I've ever had in a open field that didn't involve at least one woman.

I'm American and found this great sport by staying up until 4am when it came on, and now I'm in love!! Go Lions!!!

The mix of Texas and Australian accents sounds super weird

90,000 fans, but only about 20,000 teeth

4th most crowd attended sport (league) in the world

You could swap Carlton with just about any team and the hatred/rivalry would be similar.

this game makes the NFL look dull in comparison

Who’s here after the pies lost the grand final after being up by 5 goals in the first quarter. Also the cameras were all on Joffa

This sport reminds me of American Football, Rugby, and Soccer all in one. And the score is as high as a basketball game. That’s crazy.

When I saw the Collingwood supporter I’m like “ yep just as I expected”

Even though I'm an Aussie of Italian descent, I enjoy many sports worldwide but i sincerely believe that Aussie rules is the best spectator sport in the world.

Collingwood fans and Queenslanders are a different breed to normal aussies

As a primer for any non-Australian watcher of this video: the term "Football" can be used to describe any game which consists of some aspect of using a ball (possibly with your foot) to gain territory into the opponent's "end zone" to score some sort of points. Football or "footy" can refer to a variety of codes depending of what part of the world you're from. The derivation comes from the fact that all variants are some sort of offshoot of original Association Football (Soccer). In Ireland, for example, Footy can refer to Gaelic Rules Football or Rugby Union or even Soccer In the remainder of the UK, football is predominantly used to describe what we Americans call Soccer In New Zealand, footy refers strictly to rugby as it is THE national sport there In America, Football obviously refers to the Gridiron Football rules we play here In Australia, 3 different variant codes of "football" exist: Rugby League, Aussie Rules Football and Rugby Union ***Rugby League and Rugby Union are two different sports, but that's a whole another discussion*** Of course, we can debate for hours between the minute details and differences between the variant codes of football, but that's a brief guideline to the word "Footy" or "football"

watched it one day, been watching it ever since..

One of the most watched league by spectators on average.

"that looked like it was F****ed"

this game happened in may 2016, why did this video take so long to come out?

Holy crap I remember Cox!!! Big time rivalry between OSU and KU. Crazy to see what he’s done now lol

Quarantined and watching rugby and afl, it’s like a whole new world to me. Very entertaining.

To any americans watching: GET INTO IT! I dont even follow it but would love to see it grow overseas, this is true athleticism

There's an old saying...."If it's bad for Collingwood, it's good for football"! ;)

Do an episode on Irish GAA

The reaction to Dale Thomas transferring from Collingwood to Carlton reminds me - and I speak as one from Tennessee - of the reaction of the Melbourne faithful to Ron Barassi going from the Demons to Carlton.

I've grown up playing american football but this is awesome

Thats not a true Collingwood supporter he has all his teeth

Awesome video. Overseas exposure like this for our great game is awesome 👍🏼

I liked this affectionate feature on the Australian Rules Football from an American learning about the game. well done.

You should look at the GAA in Ireland and the history behind it.

I wish they still aired this on ESPN but more in the day, not at midnight. So fun to watch

always interesting to see the game through the eyes of a non-aussie

7:58 that face like "did he really just get up from that"

What about port Adelaide vs Adelaide crows

I love Sel’s vibe and style of interviews! Where is he these days?

God I Love this game so much! Bring on the season.

Essendon vs Collingwood is the biggest rivalry and we meet on ANZAC day (remembering Australian soldiers) and it’s the second biggest game of the season just before the grand final

seriously though carlton vs Collingwood has been shit for years. Cats vs Hawks is the rivalry of the 21st century

Well this is awkward now.....

I ended up with Essendon. In hindsight that hasn't worked out too well, but I've made some pretty amazing friends out of the deal.

Carlton, Collingwood, Essendon & Richmond are the big 4 Victorian clubs with the biggest & traditional rivalry between each other

My favorite thing is that every cheer is the same : clap, clap, team name!, clap, clap. The songs are great though. Man, I miss footy in 2020.

Can you please do the Fremantle Dockers vs the west coast eagles

Anyone here after Joffa got arrested?

Great doco, love it.

Im from the uk Ive recently got into Aussie rules football and have started supporting a team the gold coast suns now I know they had a terrible time last season but I have a good feeling about this session

Old mate had half an Aussie accent when he interviews Thomas 😹

Love it, well done! Where is Carlton now on the ladder ?? Couldn't look that far down.

It’s cool to see this cos I’ve seen joffa in Person myself at punt road oval

Collingwood seems to be the Mississippi of Australia

to all americans that watch this, i know you probably thought fuck me those people are disgusting but don't be alarmed, we aren't all like that. that is just a wild collingwood fan in its natural habitat. us normal people try hard to avoid those 'people'

First saw the AFL here in the US decades ago when I got a big satellite dish and a VCR. I love the sport and rue the time difference because it limits its visibility here. If memory serves someone tried to get a Footy league going here in the US long ago (90's maybe?) but it didn't catch on. Beats the hell out of the NFL, which has slowed to a crawl in recent years. Every sprained ankle stops the game for 5 minutes, whereas Footy just carries on ala hockey. Massive respect for these players and the wide range of athletic skills it takes to play the game.

A good show of how popular the sport is in Australia is Americans are probably thinking Collingwood is one our states but its just a suburb thats 0.5 square miles large

Reminds me of Gaelic football that we have here in Ireland We have 32 counties all playing against eachother so we have a lot of Rivalries Galway-Mayo would probably be the most consistent rivalry but Dublin Mayo is big in recent years

6:13 - Australia's greatest footballer of all time...Daniel Gorringe ladies and gentleman

Love how his Murican accent makes souding Oz-E like Uss-ee

5:10 “you have to be a little nuts” 🤯🤕😂

Back when ESPN was still worth anything, they had Aussie Rules Football. We Texans loved the game. Miss those days.

VICE should do a whole series based on AFL rivalries first up hawks vs cats best modern day rivalry

I LOVE THIS SPORT SO MUCH

best sport in the world. I love our game ❤️

sees joffa turns off video

ye need to look into Irish hurling...awesome game

Great look on the game by following the two sides with the biggest nuffies

I would say the biggest rivalry would be port Adelaide and Adelaide crows

The thing I really love about Collingwood supporters is how most of them look like they have been guests on Jerry Springer's show! You'll understand the connection when you see them hurling abuse at the Carlton players - through that gap in their mouths where their front teeth used to be!

5:03 this is a little misleading-play does stop if a player is seriously hurt. In general this mostly happens if a player is knocked unconscious or experiences concussion-like symptoms after a heavy collision. However, for pretty much anything else, play continues on around the player, and when the ball moves away the team's runners will come on and check them out if necessary.

I love that Vice makes me feel like I too can host a documentary some day

GO RICHMOND 🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛🖤🐯🐯🐯🐯

I Live in Collingwood....Collingwood, Canada.

You guys should check out the irish games of hurling and gaelic football

I'd love to see you do a RIVAL episode on our Rugby League State Of Origin series. There is absolutely nothing like it. It's a history worthy of research.

Great video here. You defiantly captured the essence of Aussie rules with out the usually stereotype american naivety and ignorance. One thing is that at the end of the day we will still hang shit on our own team when they play shit rather than attack opposing teams. Go Hawks.

pies and blues currently are both shit so they have that in common too

5:09 dude says you have to be a little nuts right as the guy tackles the dude and knees him in the nuts well played Vice

We have the possibility of a Collingwood vs Carlton Grand Final this year. Carn the pies!

This isn’t true there’s no rivalry it’s just that every team in the country hates Collingwood

Man I am so hooked to footie... it's a shame thats its unheard of in my country 😭

Very good doco vice 👌👌

What about Eagles and Dockers, Port vs. Crows, GWS vs. Sydney, Geelong vs. Hawthorn, there are so many its crazy

I want go and gets more experience in Australia football

Best Sport on Earth.

Richmond and Collingwood nearly erased each other from existence lol

Carn the Hawks, I used to H8 Joffa, but he's actually a great sport and fan.

Hope they called for an ambulance for poor Joffa after this year's grand final

Good old Collingwood forever come on pies

Plz do more videos like these on sports which are unheard of

Collingwood fans are some of the nicest people you could ever meet.

The bestest club in the country,the mighty Richmond Tigers!

The Adelaide Crows and port power have the most heated rivalry in the AFL. The others don't matter.

Do episodes on Gaelic Football and Hurling!

to think vice sports tracked down JOFFA ahhaha well you can hear him, before you see him.

Huge game coming up on Sunday!

I mean, I don't know about Collingwood v Carlton. But Port and Adelaide for sure are rivals.

The nastiest rivalry in the AFL is Adelaide v Port Adelaide. Up until a few years ago after every match they played against each other they would meet outside a pub ans beat the shit out of each other.

best sport in the world hands down
