Carn the Pies!!!!! We now have another battalion- The United States Magpie Battalion. :D

I've watched like 3 games and I'm a Lions fan. Is that bad? I'm a clueless pom lol

@@TheVolginator Brisbane are the greatest team in the league, nothing bad about being a Lions supporter.

I'd do that I'd do that I did see Ackermanis and got the impression he was pretty handy. In all honesty I watched the 2004 grand finals and picked the lions because of the kit lol

@@TheVolginator I picked my soccer team when I was a kid, Aston Villa, because their kit looks similar to the Brisbane Lions.

In a way, the clubs are owned by the people.....

So AFL clubs are essentially the packers?

@@bakey9222 yep

Same in germany with soccer

Yeahh pretty much the number one discussion at the moment is.

As a cat person I am forced to follow the Geelong Cats. I am glad to call myself an Aussie-Rules fan.

As a Brit... have you managed to see a game live? It's a totally different experience, since you can actually see the whole field

@@jeremykothe2847 Sadly no Jeremy. Not much opportunity to on Scotland’s craggy and wind swept west coast, but I’d love to experience the whole thing live and in front of me. I reckon it’s catching on around the world with the help of the internet. I’ve seen several American reaction videos on KZfaq, and everyone who watches a game really enjoys it. The stamina of those players is incredible. At the age I am now, 58, I’d probably last 0.00005 seconds on the field before I was killed lol 😂

@@seanmacleod1724 I'd last about a microsecond longer. Well if you ever do find your way down under, add it to your list!

@@jeremykothe2847 😂 Lol Will do mate 👍

Anyone found not planning to play AFL will be arrested

I saw Dani play against my team, Carlton. She is a very good player. You should be proud. I hope she has a great career.

Friend of the family is/was the physio at the Dogs. Geez the sheilas go in hard

scored a great goal first game 👍. Go Dogs.

Doug herring A lot of irish girls are playing out there aswell ,because gaelic football is very similar to aussie rules and the womens games are more similar again.Don't think any are playing for the bulldogs though.

Women’s football is considered a joke over here. A ticket to the men’s game is typically $100, to the women’s it’s free entry cause other wise no one would show up.

your not the only Scott to fall in love, check out The Dons Channel

Try NHL hockey as well

mon the gers

AFL is like Gaelic Football...... But for men

It's a shocking sport

Lol sounds like he uses one for a few min then switches back to the other

Yeah it's a total pisser...thing is he gets interviewed down here all ya hear is yank...he gets interviewed by a seppo an mid sentence, Aussie twang...its frickin ripper.

@@jmc7636 English, please.

@@ResistTheGreatReset1984 hmmm...oright, let's have a take 2 then shall we: Yeah he (cox) is pretty funny. When he is interviewed down here (Straya) all you can hear is his American accept. Listening to him interviewed by a fellow American you can hear a bit of an Aussie accent creeping in here and there. Better mate?

@@jmc7636 just ribbing you. I know the jist of what you're saying. I never knew "seppo" was used by Aussies, though.

USA USA USA , he made it 😅 and then sitting on the oval crying !! 🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍 “ been through so many highs and so many many lows “

Yes!!!

Imagine Pat barreling torps from the goal square or doing a Rocca and trying to dob one from the centre circle.

Absolutely!!!

Nick Stavris Pat just kicks the ball in, after a point

YES PLEASE

Yeah...... Lmao

Aussie accent kind of reminds me of a southern accent

samelmudir u must be deaf then

Daddy Devito what you mean he sounds very southern Australian to me

It's a hybrid accent for sure. It happens to most people, I have a cousin who moved to the US a few years ago and she sounds so american its funny.

You picked the best team mate. Crows to win Grand Final 2024 ♥️💛💙🇦🇺

Mmmmmm😅

Excellent choice, welcome to the Crom.

cox is 211cm, taller by a few millimetres than peter street and aaron sandilands who are both also 211.

Also, Sandi retired last year.

@@StrangeMaestro he certainly did

Sandilands played for Freo, so did he really play in AFL?

@@SerasXHarkonnen OOOFFFF

Strewth.

fkn sounds awful

SilentHotdog28 You used Fair dinkem wrong champ.

Fair Dinkum

Bonza!

Yeah, Collingwood is about the only club that only has to travel interstate about 4 times a year for a start.

You either Love the greatest club in the land or love to hate the greatest team in the land either way theres alotta love haha

They are the Dallas Cowboys of the AFL.

I attended a Swans home match in 2012. I was fortunate enough to sit next a fan who patiently explained the nuances of the sport (I knew the basics). The match was between Sydney and North Melbourne, but the fan still felt obliged to tell me that "everybody hates Collingwood."

Their moto is literally 'us vs. them'

I'm from Australia and it's so funny, when he talks half the sentence sounds like pure native Aussie and the other half sounds American haha.

When the video first started I thought maybe he was Scottish, the shape of his words did NOT sound American, but clearly wasn't aussie.

@@spagettechYeah same here it confused me for a sec until he said he was american lol.

It is now, three years after this interview was done!! He's sounding more hybrid every day!! I love this big guy to bits!! 😁🖤🤍🖤😊

Classic limbo accent

patty was a gun footy player before going to the us to play ball for st mary's

@Shivan Anirudhra how is Mills a prick? Would agree with Simmons but. Even better, get Slow No Joe on, he'd just take the piss haha

Josh Green is playing college ball for Arizona and he was an absolute gun at footy before he left for the US

We all know Ben Simmons says he is proud to be an Australian until it comes time to show that pride he is no where to be found. But I don't blame them for goinf to us to play a game they can make more money in 1 year than most AFL players make in a career.

Three Sirens are you referring to when he skipped the FIBA World Cup?

Americans missed a giant opportunity to market Mason Cox and the sport after the 2018 when he broke out. ESPN, Fox Sports should of had him plastered all over their media stations, glad to see him getting some shine now

Only good dame

@@hawkoh7712 Yep, played his best game when Richmond played their worst for the year = fluke

I agree. His best game.

@@Anvil35 You mean Australians missed the opportunity?

I couldn't agree more, the only reason I knew about it at all is because I'm from Dallas and Coxy's story was all over the news here. I started watching Collingwood games and even bought a full 'Pies kit to wear. Everyone here asks me about it and I can't help but tell them how awesome it is, better than the NFL in my opinion by a long shot! It's the only sport on earth I love as much as Hockey(as you can tell by my Dallas Stars avatar lol)

Souless Shadow nfl will still always be the most popular in the us

Souless Shadow hahaha that’s awesome mate!

L C if you are a baller (basketball) your skills will transfer over

Needs more neck tattoos and at least half a dozen less teeth

Good one

We can change that...

Agreed

That joke is so old. I dont even understand it..........

Go Eagles 👍🏼🇦🇺🦘

Go Eagles! We bleed blue and gold here. 🩵💛

Let's go Freo

GOOD OL COLLINGWOOD FOREVER

NoToBigBro it’s still live on FS1 and FS2 on Friday and Saturday nights/mornings during the summer.

I remember...I used to watch it after school... My brother and I used to crack up at the Refs when they would Signal a 6 point score... Remember they wore Suits? Lol

Now all they show is a bunch of dopes not talking about your team

Now that job falls to FOX

Such a bad sport

No Australian in it

@@theskyisblue8979 are you serious? its as hybrid half/half as it gets! Youre not an aussie are you?

@@LilGRaven I am Australian and his accent has no Australian in it.

The Sky Is Blue I am Australian too and I was listening to him at the beginning of the interview before he said how long he’s been in Australia and I was sure that he had some Australian accent. At that stage I was trying to figure out how long he must’ve been in Australia to get that Australian sounding accent. I was thinking maybe a couple of years so I was actually surprised when he said six years because his accent is not that strong. But there’s definitely an Australian accent there and I picked it quite easily before they even started talking about accents.

The Sky Is Blue you must not hear to small aussie tangs in his accent? How he prounounces SOME words compared to others. Theres heaps of aussie influence in it! Odd how you cant hear it being an aussie

Nah

His only downfall is he still can't say Melbourne correctly lol 😂 And his yards and metres mix - but I'll give him a pass cause he's trying to covert it for Americans.

Yeah nah

Soccer is the biggest and most important sport on Earth with over 4 billions fans and is massive in over 240 countries. Afl only has 7 million fans and massive in only 4 Australian states. Soccer will be the number 1 sport in Australia by 2050 hdjf

Australian accent is definitely starting to rub off on him

good on u mate

Yeah the ball Pat had is from their official site

I agree, the more exposure for our great game the better but I'd rather the AFL focus on a Tassie team than expanding outside of our national borders...

They should call him little kicks

Caught a afl game a year or so back on espn loved it from then on. really hope they start showing the sport more here in the states

I grew up in Mass we had same thing this goes back to the 70’s maybe it was on the early days of ESPN

The league changes rules every year now days.

@@robstorm3403 well I say it's time to make ESPN great again and bring it back lol

He would deffinatly get a better appreciation of what afl athletes have to do to be successful it's not good enough to be great at one skill but have to be great at slot of skills.

@@bucky3725 you have like Hamish and and playing the the game, pat playing doesn't seem like much of a stretch

@@chloesmith5485 I don't know what Hamish is. But no pat playing the game wouldn't be much of a stretch as anyone is allowed to play the game, pat playing the game well and not looking like someone who has never kicked an AFL ball before might be though.

Oath mate

He's a good build. Would make good centre half back or centre half foward.

"Barry Hall has entered the chat"

Toby Greene played for the giants the newest team

@@teh_b0022 haha I was just about to put “unless your Barry Hall”

@@thejgchannel9890 still does, great player but he’s a grub

you ruined a great comment by adding go pies! lol. great to see our sport getting some love in the States. P.S Skol Vikings!

It's funny because we're getting a lot of NFL now too, last Superbowl was on free to air TV maybe for the first time.

It's a shocking sport

NFL is quite popular in Australia too. It's the off season of football here, so NFL has a following here. Nikka Kikka the entire NFL season, playoffs and Super Bowl has been on free to air TV in Australia for at least 30 years. It's now on 7mate for probably last 8 years; and Ch 7 and ABC prior to that..

We can all argue about what is the "best" sport and go in circles...but of the football codes around the world, it is probably the most physically draining.... Elite players run half a marathon every week, get tackled from any direction....and while the bumping has been watered down over the years for player protection, these guys are bigger and run harder than previous decades so their hits are still big, kick the ball 50 metres (not yards) and do it for between 100-120 minutes of game time on an oval about 170-180 metres long....all this in nothing but a skin tight Guernsey and shorts...

Lol.

Go the pies ⚪⚫⚪ arguably one of the biggest and famous AFL team.. hated to the core by fans of other teams... Adored, legit born and bred - they call us 'one eyed' if we are Collingwood supporters.. bcoz we legit only have eyes for our team and everyone hates Collingwood supporters haha... There is no choice hence why I say 'born and bred' if your family are Collingwood supporters, that's it. You are till death do u part haha...

Good call! There was a crowd of 100.000 just for a club match in 1958 Soccer can only get close for World cup and internationals. The MCG had 121.000 plus at one game too! Yes Collingwood again!

Mayo Hosko spot on mate, the club membership, Helps the club survive financially... this is why, it’s called “The people’s Game”

members dont get access to facilities, dont know where you got that from

Kunaal Choksey maybe he has been in the rooms, after the game ... give him “fair dinkum” go 😂😂

Kunaal Choksey I’m talking about facilities for fans. The clubs have special restaurants or hotels with bars and indoor community/social rooms that only members have access to. I’m not talking the club training grounds or club offices. It’s like the atmosphere of a country club because it’s exclusive for members only

not sure where you heard that from either, there's no places in vic that do that.

Absolutely hilarious

Hey mate hope you enjoy, did you watch the Collingwood vs West Coast Eagles grand final , awesome game 👍 .. root has a completely different meaning here thou hahahaha

Craig Hurley yes I did watch that grand final and now I’m curious what root means

@@scottypipps1 we would say i barrack for west coast ... as for root lol its a aussie slang for sex hahahaha .... dont worry we have plenty of confusing words ... Hopefully the footy will start again soon , Go Saintsssss

Craig Hurley I hope because of pat mcafee this sport catches on in the states because it is way more entertaining than American football

@@scottypipps1 yeah i watched pats podcast and the interview he did with Mason Cox .. would be awesome if Pat could come over and see a game in person.... The AFL is actually looking into playing a game in L.A in the future.. Will be Essendon vs GWS if that happens will be good exposure

Check out the USAFL league!

If you would like to watch one of the best ever AFL games, watch The 2018 AFL Premiership game between West Coast Eagles vs Collingwood. Mason Cox is in this game. My side won it after an epic come back 🤗🤗🤗🤗 its on KZfaq

Can't go past the 2010 GF between the saints and collingwood, ended in a draw and was sitting on the edge of my seat the whole time.

@@bucky3725 For best game of the last 20 years, I'd say 2010 Grand Final Draw......Absolute on the edge of your seat stuff.

@@jasonphillips6959 2nd that, one of the best games of all time, it had everything. Big goals, big marks, a big comeback and the latest goal to seize the lead in a grand final for something like 70 years. West coast winning makes it even better

Good Troll Of The West so true, the game is so much better live than on TV

If you get the chance, go to an AFL game. particularly 1 at the M.C.G if possible.

Try and go in September when the finals are on.

Anzac Day match is always worth watching. It draws a massive crowd and the atmosphered is electric. Our biggest match of the season next to the Aussie Grand Final.

Lol

XD

Dropbear on the reverse.

Lol nice. Dude has been my childhood hero growing up. RIP

Yeah it's called a croc!

😂 afl will never get anywhere

Boyy🤣🤣

Ikr, took long enough, this game is so old and I want it to finally be recognised overseas.

@@jacobwansleeben3364 damn I actually got that noti for some reason. And as an American, I had no clue this sport existed until my Australian friend came to visit. Now I’m more invested in the AFL than the NFL.

The game is great. Hard as hell to watch live here where I am from ( 🇧🇷), due to lack of official broadcasting and indecent starting times in our timezone, but I'm satisfied with highlights

the game is great let everyone know..talking to your team mates is key..United we stand divided we fall

You deserve it. Mind you I’m married to a Canadian and am a Leafs fan...

Go the Hawks!!

Neph0423 Mike Pyke was a Canadian who played for Sydney Swans. Swans are your best option.

Swans hve the same colours as the Canadian flag. I thought it was ironic Mike Pyke played for them.

I can't cheer for the Swans. Buddy Franklin left the Hawks for them. I was bitter.

Ain't that that truth? "Na I don't have a concussion, I'm fine."

AFl where men get CTE by the time they're 40. Soccer where men live a proper life after their career. People seem to love bragging about concussions and injuries

@@Pol-xu4on no, it's American NFL where they get CTE from headbutting each other every play. In AFL the head is protected, and head collisions are rare. Actually you're probably more likely to get CTE from 'heading' the ball in soccer - schoolkids here are now banned from heading the ball in soccer for that very reason.

please don't try and make out AFL is tough. It's not

@@andos20 we'll let you get back to Hungry Hungry Hippos against your little sister.

Yeah I think that's the case with lots of things in America not just sport. I think many poeple think it is just a backwater sport with no rules. This couldn't be further from the truth. This is fully professional with world leading medical and training facilities. The salaries for the players are where near as high as US sports due to Australia only having a population of around 25 Million but the crowds per capita are enormous. The best players only earn just over 1 million AUD ( 700K USD ) a year. Mason would be on 200-300K a year. The players play for about 7 months of the year and train for over 11 months of the year. Mason was correct in saying the top midfielders run 10+ miles in a game all while having to execute NFL punter level kicking on the run. Most of the Aussies who have gone to play NFL are Failed AFL players who happened to be a really good kick. If the NFL actually spent some time trying to poach the best kickers in the AFL a majority of the punters in the NFL would be Aussie. every player in the AFL must know how to kick the ball 55+ yards to a moving target. Michael Dickson is an example of this and he is one of the better punters in the NFL.

@@tomoliver2961 A bit harsh, don't you think? Darren Bennett, Ben Graham and Sav Rocca were hardly failures at AFL.

Brendan H - All 3 very good players. That’s why I said most. Maybe I should have changed it to many.

Yeah, it always seems pretty insular over there. If it's a team sport, but it's not one of the main American sports, it just doesn't seem to get a look in. Which is disappointing really. Now, I note you also say "Rugby". What do you mean by that? I'm hoping that some Americans on here start to learn that there are actually two separate sports called Rugby Union and Rugby League. They're different. You should check out some of the NRL videos on here.

St kilda is my team. That gf was epic from start to finish. One of the best overall teams imo. Potty they didn't win the following week.

@@bucky3725 I thought for sure near the end of the match that Saints were going to win that.....Collingwood were better all day, but started to tire more quickly than the Saints, Saints started to pounce, but Pies held on for the Draw.....Such a good match, I think it's the best GF of the last 20 years.

@@SilentHotdog28 that year, the St Kilda midfield and defence had a big habit of starting strong, dropping off in 2nd and 3rd quarter but finishing the last 15 minutes really well, I thought they would pull it off too but pies certainly gave it everything.

No, No, i used to sell fosters when i first started in pubs... 23 years ago. Well i never actually sold one

Lmao

@@feverishcully1529 not to an Australian anyway

Mastercard: Priceless

As an Australian I tried Fosters once, to see what Americans kept going on about. Terrible.

If you have kayo sports you can watch it all on there. With the corona virus though the seasons currently post ponned. Coming from an aussie if i were you and you really wanted to get into aussie sports id look at the AFL and NRL youtube channels and watch the full games they have been showing until the seasons back. Go watch some NRL youd love it and its easier to pick up the basics compared to AFL.

No they are both 211cm.....people exaggerated Sandi's height all the time. Both are 211cm.

@@SilentHotdog28 7 foot is 213, so it's close enough.

point still stands tho ... sry Mason ... not the tallest player *ever* to play AFL .... certainly the tallest none Australian to play AFL

@@secretsquirrelaka-vesuvius3672 officially Cox is 211.5 , Sandilands was 211 clean so pipped him.

They are both 211cm

@Rodger Hodgson with a large dash of gaelic influence.

@Rodger Hodgson there are too many similar features for it to be by chance despite what some ex-spurt says.

Which is why they play on on a cricket-sized oval, making it the greatest running game of all time.

Tina Stagg not really there’s a lot of down time for walking. Although one of the greatest players I saw play was Nick Riewoldt just because he was a freak who could’ve been an Olympic runner

Yeah I love to hate the Pies but Mason is an incredible young man, can't imagine how scary it was to fly halfway around the world to play a game you don't know, big balls you know, much respect

It’s not easy making AFL. Just playing and being good enough to get a game is an achievement. Being an established player from overseas who has never played the game…well that’s something usually only the Irish can pull off and even that is few and fair between.

Probably in Australia

An AFL match is on every Friday night, Saturday day/night and Sunday from March until September in Australia

FS1 had games on in round 1 before the lockdown and round 2 starts tomorrow, 11 June (10 June in the US) so maybe look out for it again on FS1.

@@tank_0251 usually. though this year the season will end in late October, so we will have a Grand Final about a week before the Melbourne Cup (horse racing)
