First Football code in the world to have fully codified rules 1859 . This pre dates the codification of Soccer , Rugby Union , Rugby League and the NFL .

Australian Football League (AFL) has official affiliation agreements with 15 international governing bodies, ARFL Ireland, AFL Canada, Danish Australian Football League, AFL Scotland, AFL England, AFL Wales, AFL Japan, Nauru Australian Football Association, AFL New Zealand, USAFL, AFL South Africa, AFL PNG, AFL Samoa, Tonga Australian Football Association, AFL Germany and AFL Middle East, although it has working relations with leagues and clubs in further countries.

This is the best game in the world, it's been our secret since 1858. The word is out now.

AFL has been around for 150 years so it predates all of them sports

It's played on cricket fields. Originated as a way to keep cricket players fit during the off-season. So it's a winter sport, because mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun.

The record attendance is 121,696 people for the 1970 Grand Final, there's more seating and less standing room now so capacity has fallen to around 100,000. Collingwood pulls the biggest crowds and has been involved in the top 5 highest attendances of all time and regularly brings a million people through the turnstiles each year, their average attendance per game is a little over 80,000.

'Footy' is an Aussie tradition & is & has been a part of our culture for umpteen years & we love it! Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Oi, Oi, Oi!

There's a league of AFL in America called USAFL, but the standard is not the same.

The game is called Australian Football, the top competition is The Australian Football League (AFL) There are hundreds of competitions throughout Australia, semi pro and amateur, most have mens, womens, and juniors teams. Oldest football clubs in the AFL are Melbourne 1858, Geelong 1859 and Carlton 1864.. Some rural clubs are very old as well

Explaining the scoreline - a goal is worth 6 points, a behind is worth 1 point, so: Collingwood - 20 (x6) + 10 (x1) = 130 Carlton - 18 (x6) + 12 (x1) = 120

Also, someone correct me if I’m wrong please, but aren’t most of the clubs owned by the members? And also that it’s about the only sport in the world where that’s true. I might be completely wrong about this.

Best sport in the world mate

Great review Brother! Once you understand a little more about our fabulous game, vould you please do a video on this year's Grand Final which has beem described as one of the best ever with spectacular highlights right to the end. My Team - Collingwood - which is both the most supported and despised club finally won after 13 years 🎉

It is the greatest sport and the Adelaide crows are the best

What the penultimate game the grand final played 2 weeks ago 100,024 people watching Collingwood play Brisbane fantastic game don't worry about rules just go with the flow. Collingwoods attendance this year was a total of 764,672 with a average of 63,723 only beaten by one other team sport in the world Dortmand with 81,228 and only half of Australia play the game NSW and Queensland biggest sport is rugby league. it is just a great game if you remove your prejudices (no offside, contact big scores, too many players) you will sit back and enjoy it. Good luck

Highlights are a good start if you want to get an overview. I recommend this year's grand final. Search for, 2023 AFL Grand Final.

Best game on Earth mate. Check out loads of vids available. Season starts end of March ( our Autumn). Go Dockers!

Record for distance covered by a player in a game (since they’ve been able to measure it) is 18.9km

The season has finished now (my team are the premiers🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤) but it starts up again in march next year.. AFL is only played in Australia, it's been around since 1858 it was designed to keep cricketers fit iwhen they weren't playing cricket... ITS ONE OF THE BEST SPORTS IN THE ENTIRE WORLD!!!

i like watching international people react to my own countries sports

Welcome to the greatest sport on earth. Make sure you watch 'top 50 goals of all time' and 'top 50 marks of all time', to truly see the spectacular skill on display.

It’s a big field. It’s common to see a 50m penalty handed out.

watch the 2023 afl grand final

Any non-Australian who reacts to the greatest sport in the world gets a like from me bro :)

You're all set to go to a game now... you know the rules, you know what it's about and you have the handbag to sneak your beer in to the game.

Hi

Footy is the best game I t,he world

I've only ever gone to 2 major games in person, and I watch maybe a game a year online/tv. It's an incredible game to see, and the skills and physicality are mindblowing, but like so many huge national sports it has a really toxic culture. Racism and sexism are only just starting to be addressed, a lot of the players are hypermasc bogans, etc

Bro great reaction to the most attended game in the world per capita (population). Please watch a few of the following and I promise you will be hooked to the game - I’ll hook up afl subscribers to your page too 👍 Why AFL is the best sport in the world A beginners guide to AFL Best of the decade 2010-2019: Best goals Best of the decade 2010-2019: Best marks AFL grand final 2023 highlights Top moments in AFL this decade 2010-2019 Best of the decade 2010-2019: Brutal bumps and tackles AFL Biggest bumps and hits ever Eddie Betts - the Pied Piper The best goals of Eddie betts’ remarkable career Kysaiah Pickett is a human highlight reel Get Excited: Izak Rankine’s best highlights Chad wingard Port Adelaide career highlights Cyril Rioli’s Career highlights Lance Franklin best 23 goals Jeremy howe best marks afl 2011-2019 Gary Ablett's 29 best ever moments, milestones and performances | 2020 | AFL AFL grand final 2018 highlights
