Entertaining and brings back memories how it used to be

Byron Pickett is held up as some spectacular hard man but anyone who runs past the ball to take a bloke out is nothing but a cat.

The amount of courage it took to step on one of those fields. Sorry for the terminology, American here. Played a few physical sports. American Football and Lacrosse and I would hesitate walking onto this field.

This has everything. Dinky little shorts for the ladies, cheap shots by the bucket load, faking injury, fights, punch ups and yer usual crass Aussie presentation. It does not disappoint ! The Australian male in all his glory.

Real football…. Hunt sums it up perfectly!

3:22 Cometti :"... Bardsley seems to be hurt". Understatement. 😂

Reminds me of growing up in country SA in the 60s. The local Footy league sent a letter to all clubs stating that gloves would no longer be allowed on the field as part of uniforms. Apparently some players had taken to sewing horse shoes into the back of the glove.

How great are king hits from behind ? What manly men they are.

33:30 Crowd member says that now, it wouldn't be a witchetty grub, it would be a witchetty hunt for the crowd member

I'm glad this isn't done in the game any more. We've already got players turning up with cumulative brain injuries. Dean Kemp and Brett Heady from the Eagles both retired early because of too many head knocks. Possibly the same with Chris Waterman too.

Love the Rexy commentary!

Great job Rexy & yes mine is Rex too.

Richmond - the thugs of the 70s...Essendon the thugs of the 80s, 90's and beyond (along with Hawthorn)...hmmmm now what do those two teams have in common? SHEEDY - biggest sniper of them all

Gee the 80s hawks were a bunch of snipers

This is what I was watching and playing growing up. M broken jaw in under 12s and broken collar bone in under 15s along with a lot of other little injuries and played until 21 and then a couple of games at 37 which was stupid

Missed it in 97.. hope to see it next year..jr

Drew morphet, Denis, Sandy etc were my childhood. Love hearing all those voices over the 90's

Back when football was football not now when they are protected

back then afl was a competition of who can get the worst CTE

Bloody love this how the VFL used to be played not bubble wrap football that we have today and hell yeah I'm a one eyed Magpie supporter

This should be called gutless wimps and cheap shots ,nothing tough about punching someone from behind when the player is trying to play the ball

One of the biggest brawls was Hawthorn-Essendon in the 83 or 84 grand final. Essendon alleged Hawthorn players got high on eucalyptus. Well that didn't go down well and a big brawl resulted

Funny how back in the day, a tough guy was regarded as one who would land a coward punch on a player who was playing the ball. Really they were nothing but low life cowards

Play on! Every time

Love you Rex. Big old bluefin

plugger hates everyone🤣🤣

It’s the first time I have seen this acts of violence in front of a huge crowd of people going nuts 😊

Ahh.. the good ol days 😃

Hunt gives this great big "when men where men intro" I just see a bunch of snipers hitting people from behind and elbowing others in the head with out warning. Nothing manly or courageous about that.

Loved just about every minute of this but eye gauging is a cowardly act and you're not right in the head if you resort to this.

Mark Lee, Dale Weightman. Two legends the likes of which the Tiges need now. Premiership players who stuck with us from the good times to the bad to the very bad. Go tiges cheers Oztiger, subbed :)

Love seeing Fitzroy

My 8yo nef loves watching these videos the mad kid😂

The results are overwhelming. You want to see one cheap shot concussion after another.

What health insurance lol

Pure magic, when football was football😆

No wonder some of these blokes have signs of brain damage at 50

Do not who is presenting this, just know he's a bloodthirsty goon who revels in pain, injury and bloodlust😮

Showing the Neil Sachse incident at 1:00:31 is in very poor taste, as he became a quadriplegic as a result of the incident. It was shown earlier in this video too.

When men were men ,and intensive care was only a game away?

Chris Lewis was a gun 😂

Imagine just one of these bumps in wogball? The play would be stopped for an hour, they would have an X-ray machine on the ground and time on would go for ten hours! Instead the game just continues in Aussies rules, where men are men.

Looks like a much better game back then :-(

Funny! Very funny 😂!

Your regular Ozzie loud crass intro then 1.30 of wall to wall cheap shots. Doesnt get any more OZ than that.

Too many sucker punches. Never realised Aussie Rules could be so brutal.

fucking awesome stuff!!

Today they'd all be playing from jail.

Surprised some players didn’t end up in jail.

Because real men hit you when you're not looking.

TV Ringside Classic LOL

1:37 “haha yew beauty” haha Fkn oath

can you upload Biffs Bumps and Brawlers 2 vol.1(vhs ver.)?

Next year me n jr coming back down under🇸🇪😎

Ohhhhhh 😂

I miss this

An Williams won a medal

should be titled Biffs Bumps and Brawlers Committing Cowardly Acts

Rex Hunt- a non-thinking product of his time. So glad the game is now considered a contest between professional athletes. Which it very much is.

Invited Rex over to blow the candles out for his birthday and ended up blowing my Nan out. He filmed it and narrated said incident. Shame on you Rex

nothing but attempted smothers....

Back then there were no shits given aha

Play and protect against people who head Hunt.

This just looks like 90 minutes of cheap shots. Where are the “real men” in this video?

Fukn hey can't remember a few games hahaha

Today's game is so weak... BRING BACK THE BIFF

No wonder footy players weren't very smart; all the concussions.

This just reminds me of American hockey and football. It’s so violent. Why not just get a team of “goons” and thit the opponent in the face whenever the got the footie?

You can smell the brain damage..

How is this made legendary?? They’re all cheap coward hits, the other player isn’t seeing it coming… 🤦🏻‍♂️

How in hells name didn’t anyone get seriously injured

Imagine Brian Taylor and Bruce and commetti and the likes commentating the 60s thru to the 90s... They'd have a field day I reckon...

Many of these incidents are just pure thuggery, with some noticeable big names featuring several times. I don’t mind seeing the old ‘shirtfronts’ and hard hits, but there are a lot of disgraceful head high hits in this selection.

When is was football AND fistball.

Put them all together and send to galipolli

Gee, a few gutless swings there…

Coat Hangers ahahahaha 🦾🤪

Cricket used to have this sort of culture as well, Lillee and Thompson brutalising the English batsmen with no helmets like a pair of thugs. Only good luck that no one ended up in prison on a manslaughter charge. With people like Rex Hunt "ruling the roost" these sure were Neanderthal times. Thankfully all the cavemen are back in the pre historic past and these games have moved on, or else they'd be consigned to the same bin that Rex Hunt should be in.

UFC Has nothing on these guys

Lewis was a girl couldn't fight him self out of wet paper bags all behind play

American reacts to Aussie football before the rules got soft

Nothing tough hitting a guy who has his eyes on the ball or the play and cant defend himself, nothing to brag about at all.

What I always suspected...Ricciuto was a thug...I'd love to know how Syd Jackson got off that charge in the 2nd semi of 1970. Can only assume something nasty had been said to him

This is wors than boxing or MMA or kick boxing.

Yeah it's hard hitting footy the like you will never see again. Because it has turned into a free kick game. Guys getting pay back for there sculldugry.

Bunch of soccer divers 😂😂😂

Shows how weak todays game has become.

I dont know anything about Aussie rules. Watching this is shocking they are basically taking nfl hits without protection.

Well said Leigh mathews most cañt

Tough game need to were soft helmets ⛑

38:25

I watched only a few minutes of cowards hitting people mainly from behind. Disgraceful times. This has thankfully this is now out of the game, because otherwise it would be dead. And Hunt's introduction was sickening. Summary justice? No acts of mongrels.

Aussie rules is an entertaining game to watch. I prefer gaelic football, but enjoy the mixed International rules game. The Irish can certainly improve their footy by learning from the aussie rules hand pass, which is superior, but in terms of pure skill, gaelic football is on another level to Aussie Rules. The tackle stopped the development of the aussie rules skill set, but particularly the kicking part of the game imo. The professionalism gap has closed to almost a 50-50 level playing field which bodes poorly for the aussies. That said, the tackle is a huge advantage for Australia, but so is playing with the round ball for Ireland. I wouldn't be against the idea of using the round ball for two quarters and the oval for the other two. I think the aussies will get destroyed this year, in particular by Connolly. Watch out for that name. Such a classy footballer of both feet.

Wayne carey is weak only ever got players ftom behind

You just know so many of these fellas were going home and treating their wives the same. Goes to show how much work is done behind the scenes now to help these guys put their anger into the aggression of the play and not take it out on others in cheap dog acts. Good watch anyway. 😅

No different from WWE when it was called wwf when Tigersin George the animal steel aundra the giant etc back in the 70's to shit soft wrestling

I cannot believe that anyone could think that this is entertaining. Lots of cheap and nasty shots. Modern day players are much bigger and quicker and would inflict major trauma if they "played" like that.... and be suspended forever.... rightly so,

Dustin Martin=Mick Conlan Dustin copied his style of play, only difference tho is that Conlan would get the hard ball unlike Dusty who is a cherry picker

This is when Men were MEN

Dench steamrolling a collingwood grub for a shit hit on Alves pure Class and not reported just polished vengeance. BTW was there a bigger piece of shit in the game other than Craig Kelly.
