This guy doesn’t realise that the AFL grand final means more than the election in Australia.

As an Aussie it’s hilarious seeing people react to afl

Nothing better than watching an American discovery AFL

fun fact: indigenous Australians make up 3% of the general population and 14% of AFL players

Dude you're the first person ive seen to get the scoring right - its terribly explained on the video! Kudos!

As an Australian it never seemed difficult to understand, but knowing y’all watch NFL, NBA, etc. it must be strange to see multiple sports sort of combine together to create AFL. You understood pretty well considering.

You have to bounce the ball within 16 yards , not every 16 yards. The bounce is to avoid the situation where the fastest player can just outrun everyone and score easily

He’s annoyed about running across the oval, when it’s just the warmup for the 8 year olds when they train.

Also, the quarters are 20 metric minutes, not American minutes.

As an Australian, that bit where said: "It's their biggest sport? OvEr RuGbY?" Made me life so damn hard. Americans have just got no idea.

Players have been fitted with GPS’s and run about 19 kilometres a game. That’s almost 12 miles. AFL, it’s fast hard and exiting, the shorts are short and the men are hot.

Bruh running suicides on an AFL oval ain’t a joke

As an Aussie watching this, I loved seeing you appreciate and understand the intricacies of footy as the video progressed; I can’t wait for the next season to start now!!

In case it hasn’t already been mentioned, AFL started in 1858, so we haven’t copied other sports. IMO it’s, hands down, the most athletic and entertaining sport in the world; and the best! Pick a team to support and get into it. You won’t regret it. Carn the Tiges! 😃

as an ex-pat Brit having migrated to Australia in 2007, I can honestly say hand on my heart, "Aussie Rules" AFL is my favourite sport to watch, hands down (or hands up for a contested mark!). Once you're bitten, you're smitten......it's an incredible sport and its versatility really makes it a highlight....once you understand the rules. It's frenetic; frantic and relentless....you gotta love the Aussie Rules. It really is dope ;)

You are the first reaction video I've seen that works out the score 👏🏼👏🏼

One thing that video didn't say, This game was developed in the 1800's. It was based on a game played by the First Australians.

I love the accent in "Grand Final" going all aussie in there "grannd foinal"

Bruh that siren gave me goosebumps, I JUST WANNA PLAY

Watched a few of these AFL reaction videos and you're probably the most perceptive one so far and actually talk about your thoughts in more detail.

Live in California, been watching AFL and Rugby since the 90's. The skills needed to play footy aren't found among NFL players, love rugby and aussie rules!

The 25-50 likes is looking pretty smashed now. Lotta love for the AFL here. Go Westcoast Eagles 🦅

And in case you are wondering... girls and boys are taught it in school and in the last few years the Women's AFL has started and they are as tough as the guys. Also any injuries or strapping is done with flesh coloured tape. If you make the strapping obvious eg use white tape, your opponent will target it and hit you there HARD. The only protection is a mouth guard and a box for the guys. Some guys who have had head injuries have worn a lighter helmet but most don't bother. Its not mentioned but if you score a behind, the opposing team immediately kicks the ball in from the square in front of the goal. If a goal is scored, the umpires relay the ball back to the centre for a bounce. If the ball is touched on its way between the centre posts then its classe3d as a behind. If you touch it and it goes between the behind and goal post, its thrown in from the side by the umpire and the players have to jump for it. The centre umpires (all three) can cover as much as a marathon each game. The goal umpires have to do the same training as the field umpires. The break between quarters is only 10 mins and half an hour for the half time break. If someone is injured to the point of being out of the game, no further extra subs can be used. I mean that if you have 5 men injured, then you have to continue one short as a team is allowed 18 ont he field and 4 interchange who can be rotated in and out of the game to rest or replace injured team mates. This is not a game for weaklings or showboats... its all about the TEAM!

I was a fat kid growing up in Sydney and played a little league game in Half time in the 80's. We lost the mini game and both sides had to run the entire outfield before we left the stadium. Being a fat kid, I ran out of gas halfway, while both teams left the stadium. A single fat kid trying to run around the field with 80 000 fans watching me . 1 single voice yelled out " Come on kid you can do it " As I ran 80 000 fans cheered me on, when I stopped 80 000 fans went ohhh. When I finished the stadium erupted in cheers. I fucking love this game

I love watching overseas people react to our game. The skill and endurance required for this game is something else.

I think they mean some players are as tall as labron, others as fast as Odel, and others with stamina like Maradona - but they didn't say it clearly.

I was one of the people who roasted you on your original vid. But this was a good reaction mate 👍

the Wall Street Journal found that the NFL on average only has 11 minutes of actual play

ONYA BRO!!! I'm kiwi and after time i split my interest btwn rugby union and rugby league. In kiwi land 'prior' 2comin hea to OZ in 1980 we called this game 'aerial ping pong' until my ignorance of a 'soft' game was quelled and am now a keen follower of this high energy sport + also along with cricket! Like ur diverse interest in world sport. I'm subbin up! Good job.

Wait til he hears what Gary Ablett senior's nickname was.

rugby is only really a thing in New South Wales and Queensland, everywhere else in Australia are footy mad

You've got to react to AFL best marks or AFL biggest hits

Also in AFL they didnt explain this but if you get tackled with possession of the ball after you have had an oppertunity to get rid of it then its a free kick to the team that tackled you. You should react to top AFL marks of 2020 and best AFL goals 2020.

All the long distance runners at my school played AFL , all the nuggety guys played rugby.

There’s also a rule called holding the ball. If you refuse to try and pass the ball while being tackled it’s called holding the ball.

Great job Sean. Love seeing others seeing AFL for what it is. Gave me a buzz!

Hi from Australia 🇦🇺 Thanks for the reaction it’s great to see what others think of our game

Loved to see you working it out and making sense of it. It's a great game. Way more dynamic than other games because there is so much going on, such a big ground, superb skills.

Good video mate. Your reaction the the high flying marks was priceless

You clued onto the scoring quickly. Bloody awesome mate 🤘 great video.

Subbed because of your willingness to explore something that could be cool. Also liked.

Welcome to the greatest game in the world baby! Lol Keep watching and enjoy champ.

The only guy on these reaction videos who actually understood the scoring. Well done sir

MAN WELL DONE!! Best Reaction video on AFL!! well done too on breaking done the score board with goals and points. awesome video

Bigger than rugby...more people come to watch a training session that go to a rugby GAME.

Some midfields run 12 to 14 miles in one game (80 mins) u need crazy cardio

Genuinely respect how much effort your are going to, to understand our game xox

Dude keep these up, they’re hilarious and awesome 😎

The grand finals nowadays get 100,000 people and you can’t throw the ball in this sport otherwise it will be a turnover, u should react to more afl videos and get into this sport, as I think the best sport in the world. Great reaction

Quite enjoyed watching this, your reaction to the size of the field, gave me a chuckle, because of the history, the first game ever played, the field was actually twice as big, there were no behind posts to score 1 point. And was decided after 1 game it was too big, making it what it is now, The score was 0-0 . Second game same score, by the third the behind posts came, and hallelujah the score at the end, 1 - 0. A quick fast paced game, from years ago, alot of rules changes, for safety. And you cringe how high theyll jump for a mark. well like the NFL theres alot of head injuries, and for years theres been discussion from time to time about head gear. And im also gonna say, NFL has played a big part in many things over the years, thanks to two top coachs who went to america to study your football, many years ago. Your game was alot more proffessional when it came to the training physio ect, it raised standards here, you notice a fitter team. Those two particular coachs at the grand final the follow year. and one was smart enough, to take on game plays, there team won 22 out 24 games over the season. Oh and the ball twice as heavy as yours, its why a few aussies have been picked up over the years for the NFL to be a Punter i think, because of how far they can kick it. NFL is an amazing sport to watch aswell, and i can assure you, watching and learning how the game is played, i have the same reaction as you.

Nice to see someone go back and listen to the explanation. Good job

The video you played really explained the game well, first time I have seen it broken down in an easy to understand format, we grow up watching it and have trouble explaining it! Hello from Adelaide South Australia

Nice reaction Sean. The video you reacted to is old, but holds up on the main points. It talks about the crowds we get. Even in a year of COVID they managed to average nearly 6000 people per game, all the more impressive when you consider that 10 teams are based in Victoria which was in lockdown for nearly the entire season. The average attendance for 2019 - 36,000+, whilst some of the biggest teams averaged 50,000+ per game, so yes, pretty popular. We manage that with a total population of 26 million, of which probably 9 million prefer rugby league. In comparison, NFL averages 67,000 from a population of 330 million, about 11 times our population, the Bundesliga in Germany averages about 43,000 with a population of 80 million and the EPL averages 38,000 with a population of 68 million. Players come in all shapes and sizes. The current smallest player on a list is 168cm (5'6") while the tallest is currently 213cm (7') while the average is 188cm (6'2") the same height as the average NFL player but lighter on average 88kgs (197 pounds) to 109kgs (245 pounds), mostly due to the extreme aerobic side of AFL making it hard to maintain weight whilst your linemen blow out the NFL average weight. Average distance covered is about 9 miles per game, but that is the average. The top runners will cover 11 or so miles. Stats from 2012 had players spending about 5 1/2 minutes at speeds above 11mph on average per game and last year one player hit 37.4 km/h (23.24 mph). To put that speed into context, in 2009 Usain Bolt won the 100m World Championship with an average speed over the 100m of 37.58 km/h or 23.35 mph and he wasn't wearing football boots. These are good athletes.

aussie isn't pronounced "Aww See" its like "ozy" but the "o" is short, idk just watch a video on how to pronounce it correctly im sure there is one

Thanks Mate! A good introduction/ explanation of Our great game! Keep watching

Go the Mighty Blues 😀👍, great vid dude much love from Australia !!!

Good you concentrated and starting to understand the game. It has been around for 150+years . Next step is to pick a team, but please don't make it Collingwood or Carlton or I will unsubscribe 😁😁😁.

Aussie pride funny shit mate much respect from Albany wa boy's Australia

Good on ya mate for sorta learning our sport. Now you will enjoy it more

As an Aussie, I love seeing people outside Australia reacting to our great sport AFL rules!!!!

Bouncing the ball every 15 metres (16 yards) is so that a player cannot simply be the fastest, but also be skilled. The "Bro" being high in the air, is Nic (Nic Nat) Natanui and is LeBron Size at 6'8" and very athletic. This sport is "very reckless", its not reckless but requires commitment, courage and extreme fitness as the game is non stop and players are required to run over 14 km a game. The best recent effort was 18.5km (approx12 miles). To get a better understanding of the game watch a replay or a full game on either the official AFL site or just Google it. One of the best was the 1989 Grand Final, but any game will do. If someone was on your back you would throw him off, but if you worried about that then you would not be able to go for the ball, which is the object of the game. Someone on your back is just part of the game and from a young age you are taught to keep your eyes on the ball, if you don't it is viewed as cowardly and a player would be dropped from the team. As I said earlier commitment and courage are non negotiable in the game. "This is literally every sport rolled into one" As AFL was started in the 1850's its far more likely that other codes took things from AFL, rather than AFL from them.

I don't even watch the footy, but watching you react to this was pretty interesting XD

Well done mate..seemed to get your head around the fundamentals pretty well!

You have a great understanding of sports, happy you did us Aussie's proud of understanding our great sport

Yeah, I can't think of a more dynamic game, like chaos with a goal.

Being an Aussie this gives me goosebumps

Smashed it bruh. Best I've seen it yet.

Great to see you getting to know afl.

You got it. The scoring explained: 20 10 120 20 goals (worth 6 points each) 10 'behinds' (worth 1 point each) For a total of 130 points (20 x 6 = 120 + 10)

As an Australian, it’s so funny to see peop react to NRL and AFL 😂😂

You got this bro, honourary Aussie mate 🇦🇺🇺🇸

You get a like just for being the first I've seen to work out the scoring! Well done!

"All you need is some bats..." Me, very high: **snort laughs** "Imagine them bashing the shit out of each other with a bat as they run with the ball..."

Awesome reaction man. Just to get started you should watch some highlights from the 2020 season. Or highlights of dope as players like Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti and Dustin Martin. They'll hype you up for more things to watch 👍👍

This is by far the greatest game to watch live. I follow the NRL (rugby league) which is much more suited to TV viewing, but AFL hands down is the greatest sport to watch live.

ive been to the MCG to see a game when i was over there- it wasnt a final game but it was still so fun to watch. i was there supporting richmond and i was so happy to hear they won that season (2019) . there is a section where members of the mcg can go and i think people like hugh jackman have memberships- its loved by everyone honestly it was so fun to see a match and i highly reccomend anyone checking it out if you get the chance!!

Grand final want played at MCG this year due to Covid but it'll be back the MCG this year.

Broke my jaw when I was 11 playing:(

You're blowing up bro! Watching from Australia is so funny

I've watched many reactions to what is afl.. you are the ONLY one who thought about the score when it came up instead of just going wth is that lol.. great job

The AFLWomens is also worth a watch. Those kids know how to play!

I noticed you had "Power" on your shirt, one of the 18 clubs is "Port Adelaide Power" logo is on your left!

Dude, first reaction vid I've seen to 'get' the scoring. Bravo, love that you're pausing to grasp concepts rather than to just dribble nonsense. Earned a sub!

Glad you did this! We're passionate about AFL here and even though many of us watch American sports NFL, NBA etc we like seeing Americans convert and become AFL fans too! Pat McAfee is a huge one (ex colts punter) 🙏

It's easily the #1 sport in Oz. AFL gets double the crowds that the NRL (Rugby League) gets and Rugby Union gets even less than Rugby League. AFL for a season or 2 was averaging more crowds than the Premier League Soccer in England, but now we're back to 4th highest average crowds in the world. Rugby League fans like to claim they're the most popular sport in Oz, but stats don't lie. AFL Grand Final gets 100000+ every year and is the highest attended 1 day game in the world.

The AFL put out a series of videos last year called “best of the decade” (2010-1019). There’s a lot of good content to react to there. AFL doesn’t hand out copyright strikes either - probably because they want to grow awareness of the sport outside of Australia (we’re very isolated from the rest of the world).

I watched your reaction months ago....I enjoyed watching it again . I'm I'm an Aussie✌️

I'm from Queensland and we are into rugby, actually this was really helpful. Now I understand AFL, lols

Yay, you clearly barrack for Port Adelaide Power, good on ya.

gotta watch Top 50 Marks and Biggest Hits....Aussie Rules dominates Rugby in Australia

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏Congrats on the scoring

AFL is so big in Victoria, (Australia) we all get the day off work for the grand finale

You wanna see the best years of our fill football Look back to the 60s 70 s and 80s that's where it was at

Loving the Port Adelaide tee shirt you’re rocking in this video.

I like how he said he would be pissed if he had to run end to end but in training you run around the entire field

The size of the field ain't no joke. When I worked for a video game retailer in Brisbane back in the late 90s we sold the EA AFL game and we got to go 'backstage' after a Brisbane match. The whole team had to walk around in a big circle for 20 minutes just to wind down from the aerobic action of the game or face the mother of all cramping.

Is a grand game we only get a few international players in "footy" here in Oz.. more world wide talent would be great

I knew I was supposed to grow up Australian but unfortunately none of my relatives were criminals.

Nice video! Outside of Covid the AFL Grand final has MORE spectators in a stadium than ANY SPORT IN THE WORLD! (Because the field is so big they can make a 100-120k seat stadium etc...)

it’s a shame i wasn’t born in Aus this sport is definitely my type of sport. quick pace, so many sprint, 4 quarters, unlike football (soccer) plays at a slow pace and depends more to endurance
