THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF AFL STADIUMS (1897-2023) 

If you wanna check out the entire history of the MCG then give this a watch: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SA_G7dPXL38.htmlsi=65TRHPoyI8uD4Wvd

1:08 - “The first VFL/AFL game to be played outside of Australia”……I wasn’t aware the SGC was located outside Australia 😅😅😅

Nice video. A few corrections: Corio is pronounced with the emphasis on the i and Manuka is pronounced with the emphasis on the first syllable. Australian states outside Victoria are not "outside of Australia" (much as we Victorians would like to think that the only decent things in Australia are in Victoria - hence the "National" Gallery of Victoria). The Shane Warne Stand is the new name of the Great Southern Stand, not the replaced Ponsford, Members and Olympic Stands that were built for the 2006 Commonwealth games.

Great video, great information but didn’t know Sydney was out of Australia 😂 1:08 , but still overall amazing work cardy

My favourite child could stadium has to be Glenferrie oval (although now it’s obviously the G)

Great video Cardy as always. Wish the suburban grounds could be used for a couple of rounds each year again.

Optus Stadium is the best and that's a fact

what about north hobart ov

Vfl park was the best

Playing interstate doesn’t mean playing outside Australia

I’d hate be harsh but… Check your scripting, you made some big mistakes. You stated the the first game at the SCG to be the first game to be played outside Australia (read Victoria). The old Ponsford stand was replaced by the new Ponsford stand, not the Warne Stand. That’s just the Southern Stand renamed. You also said the Northern Stand was replaced by the Olympic stand (correct) but then carried on to say it was the new Northern Stand??? But by far the Biggest blunder is your pronunciation of Corio it’s not Co-ri-o it’s Cor-ī-o. You also stuffed up Albury which is Aul-bree not Al-Bery. You also somehow slaughtered the word relocate as railocate. You failed to mention that Fitzroy spent any time at the Junction oval until you advised they left it. You also skipped over Richmond leaving Punt Road. We all know they went to the MCG, but anyone form overseas may assume they dropped out existence. One could also point out you missed the sad but undeniably real existence of University I usually like your videos but the errors here are annoying.

The East Melbourne Cricket Ground was not only used by Essendon but also the home ground for University Football Club when they were in the VFL between 1908 to 1914. University Football Club also used the MCG for their home games too on a few occasions during their short history.

After you’ve watched the vid, please give you thoughts down below! Would you want a video similar to this in the next couple weeks?

As an Eagles fan it was fascinating to play at the WACA. A small venue it would be packed to the rafters. Ground was extremely quick and hard leading to exciting night matches. Our 8 WAFL grounds didn't have cricket pitches and Perth is based on sand, so to suddenly see AFL on a muddy WACA pitch felt quite bizarre.

This was unbelievable mate, fantastic video

Tin spaghetti

in 1903, the first game to be played outside of Australia (WTF) and they had to travel by....train.. seems technology had been going backwards since then.. BTW, when the NATIONAL R.8 in 1952 was once again played outside of Australia - Albury, Yallourn, Euroa, Brisbane, Sydney and Hobart - did they again go by train? South Melbourne did not relocate to Sydney Swans, the team moved to Sydney and bacame the Sydney Swans. Lakeside oval 'no longer came into use'. Passion is a beautiful thing, alas this oxymoron does it for me..

ABSOLUTELY CLASS!!!!! Waited to see a video like this for so long, keep up the elite work Cardy! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

I think my Mt Barker friends arn't going to be too happy about you calling their home the middle of nowhere.

Do you think that Victoria is “Australia”? It wouldn’t surprise me……

I can report that Sydney is actually in Australia (1:09). In fact, the Australian accent you speak with comes from Sydney.

Last time I checked Sydney is part of Australia

Hi

Love these ideas

10:21 just a small correction, the southern stand is now the Shane Warne stand. Brilliant video otherwise 😊

5:52 saw the what

Adelaide hills stadium isn't in the middle of nowhere! It's in a town called Mount Barker, its literally comes off the freeway to Melbourne, or back. Lots of towns nearby, car/cruise clubs love going around there, and Hahndorf has the best German food ever! If that's not your thing then there's lots of other fancy food places around, and good booze. It's closer to Adelaide CBD than Ballarat is the Melbourne, and not too cold for you guys, either!

Nice video, did you also know that North moved to Coburg in 1965 but it only lasted one season

Good video, but a couple of points. Bellerive was not Tasmania's second VFL/AFL ground, but the third after North Hobart Oval (the national round, and then a few Fitzroy games in the early 90s) and York Park. And I think the footage when talking about Bellerive was actually York Park.

W

Such good quality. Catching up to Footy A2Z in that quality. Amazing ❤❤❤

Gabba is the best stadium soon to be biggest

The ground in the Hills ins't "in the middle of nowhere" its in a big town called Mt Barker which has a population of 39,627 people.

I think AFL should put more of an effort into guaranteeing AFL in NZ at Wellington and in the future Auckland. I think promotes more support in NZ and I'm sure NZ govt would support to a certain extent if it added to tourism. I'd be fascinated to see practice match in Singapore (which I think has moveable stands) even if crowds are minimal. The video hammered home the point that Nowhereroos have messed up and turned their backs on Gold Coast, Canberra and Tasmania, only to return half hearted.

Outside of Australia?

Amazing Video Cardy! I wish I could get this much comments on my videos. But this is such good editing it deserves it! I rate it 10/10! Keep it up and hopefully you will get the 24k!

Perth stadium

Prior to 1987 Subiaco Oval WASN'T being used for AFL games. This is simply impossible. Subiaco Oval was used for WAFL games.

OPTUS STADIUM

Optus stadium

Where’s Freo

This is class Cardy, really turned out well

People can’t complain about GMHBA being a ground that favours Geelong. Most likely, your club parted ways with your home ground and now you share a ground with nothing permanently representing your team, just posters on the wall that are taken down after every game.

Hey Cardman22, how about a video on forwards who starred for only 1 or 2 seasons ? ? ? Such as Jason Heatley 1997, Danny Delre 1992, Ross Ditchburn 1982 and Peter Bosustow 1981 & 82 and Warren Ralph 1984, Mark Williams (Hawks) 2005 & 06 and Jeff Farmer 2000 ? ? ? 18 02 2023

5:56 saw you mentioned that all Friday night games between 1984-1986 'strangely' only feature North Melbourne. North pioneered the whole concept.

People who think if the grand final isn’t played at the mcg are idiots. It probably won’t be in the distant future. It’s be great to play at a venue that is bigger, isn’t named after cricket and doesn’t give tickets to members of a cricket club

The name of the Geelong district is CO-RI-O (CO-R(EYE)-O not CORRY-O. Albury is pronounced ALL-BURY not AL-BURY, and I did not know Sydney and Brisbane were outside Australia otherwise very informative video.....🏉🏉🏉🏉🏉🏉

Amazing video cardy! Looks like it would take a while to make this! Great job 😊😊 So hyped for footy season to start!

Stadiums That Are No Longer In The Afl And New AFL Stadiums IN Norwood Oval Adelaide Hills OUT Stadium Australia Cazalys Stadium

In 1925 the Western Bulldogs were Footscray.

The WACA isn't a crap place to watch footy - actually is a pretty good place to watch footy.

North Hobart Oval was used for 4 games by Fitzroy in 1991-92, and also another in the 1950's, pre-dating both York Park and Bellerive.

Interstate games are not outside of Australia, wrong scoreboard was shown when talking about MCG, no mention of Kardinia Park Upgrades, part of why they left the WACA because Subiaco got light towers. Shane Warne Stand was the renamed Southern stand not the new stand built in 2006. Great potential video but a lot of errors for only 10 minutes

Mate what about the redevelopment of Kardinia Park from roughly 2004 or 5 to 2024? Or is this another ‘Geelong a backwater complex thing.’?

Outside of Australia??? Don’t you mean Victoria. Last time I looked the SCG was part of Australia as much as us Victorians wish it wasn’t

Appreciate the effort you'v put in, but your research and fact-checking is disappointing. You have the basis of a good video, but as many others have pointed out, there are corrections necessary. I'd also suggest leaking some gaps in your narration so it seems less of a barrage of information. Overall, a good draft version, but further work required.

Bruce Stadium in Canberra hosted a West Coast - Fitzroy game in 1995 too.

3:00 The Miget

Why do you keep referring to games played interstate as outside Australia?

So let me get this straight Playing a VFL game in Sydney means you played it outside of Australia? Shut the front door. Get out of here.

Great to see you calling AAMI Stadium as it's former name, Football Park

Please pronounce Albury and Manuka correctly, it scratches my brain!

The best stadium was Waverly. Shame they never built a rain link there

Great Video Cardy, i reckon each club should play at least 1 game at a suburban ground for a smaller game because it would be interesting having a game at a suburban ground and it will definetely be interesting to see a game in Adelaide Hills!

Hey mate none of the cities you named are outside of Australia. Outside of Victoria yes.

Souping know Sydney, Brisbane and Hobart are part of Australia

Great video…it’s sad that the clubs can’t play at individual stadiums Lol can you do this for rugby league …nuhhh

I love Princes Park Carlton and TIO Stadium on Darwin, love the MCG too

Got a few errors in there, such as the "outside Australia" for outside Victoria and incorrectly referring to a few teams as other teams. Cool old pictures and footage, though.

Korrio Oval??? It's pronounced Koh Rye Oh if you are referring to Corio!

Hello thanks for All amazing awesome vlogs could I please be all All your best friend ever

What about riverway stadium in Townsville. Pretty sure there has been afl games there

Sydney, Albury, etc are all in Australia.... what are you saying?

I live like 5 minutes from Waverley but I’m a cats man so my favourite ground is GMHBA

Lake side Stadium is a Football pitch and soccer pitch in home to South Melbourne FC

I love in Albury! They sometimes play at Lavington Oval

Quite a number of errors to correct here, pronunciations etc but the main one being the Shane Warne Stand, which is actually the Southern Stand, not the new Northern Stand as you stated.

kinda sucks football park is no longer used for afl games, it would have been great for gather round. but it is what it is

And please don’t hate this guy he’s prob only been to the GMBHA like me only the Adelaide oval

Great Video! Optus stadium in Perth is absolutely insane but nothing beats some footy at the MCG

Missed Riverway Stadium in Townsville.

Townsville wasn't mentiothere was a game there 2019

Sandy Creek Oval Near Wodonga Is The MCG Of The Bush!

Kardina park is currently undergoing renovations to increase capacity

Cor 'I' 'O', nor Cor 'E' 'O'. Pronounced like "Core Eye Oh", not "Cor E Oh". lol

Wait wait wait wait, your saying that a ground that I play footy on was played on by afl players 💀

Every state outside Victoria is not outside of Australia 😂

The good old days when Melbourne teams had their own home grounds.

Incredible video Cardy, It was well made

Great video

Vfl park and western oval are both the best to me and go Bulldogs

I don't know why it's called the MCG ( Melbourne Cricket Ground ). It should be called AFL Stadium, since AFL Football pays 99% of the bills there.

Do you know why so many games are going to be played in Adelaide in a single round

My 2 favourites are Kardina park and the MCG

princes park suprised me. so did waverley and corio.

wow great video, very good editing

W!

Adelaide Oval best stadium in the world

I think playing in shanghai was bloody amusing

Corio, long I. Coryo is what it sounds like.
