90s was the peak of AFL standards, most players could use both sides and there was little milking decisions. 2000s they stopped focusing on skill and instead referenced endurance when recruiting
@@jimmymadzcfc4836 odd I mean they are the same thing but I feel as though umpires should be for baseball cricket and other racket based sports. Something that’s not as fast paced as the AFL.
AFL fans pretending just because it isn’t as rough as it was 40 years ago, it has become a soft sport lol. There is something called players health. Aussie Rules is still one of the roughest sports out there with (more) severe injuries almost every game. But I do agree with the portrayal of the 50 penalty, that has become an utter joke.
💯 Highs and concussions ruined a lot of players lives, look at all the old guys walking around with CTE. And refs deserve respect - they make mistakes but they're a human element in the game like players
@@Secretlyanothername perfectly put. I am sometimes baffled by refs, but in the next game, they put on a perfect performance. They deserve more credit when they put on a good performance. Players must be protected, many former AFL players struggle severely. The game doesn’t have to be utter warfare to be enjoyable.
imagine what the 60's and 70's were like back then.... you'd hear the crowd boo and there's the full forward on his arse and the full back standing with his arms out like "what did i do?". no multi cameras, no replays, if the umpire didn't see it then it never happened.
It was an eye for an eye, natural justice but also tactical. Bit like hockey, you had one or two big guys on each team to keep an eye on the smaller guys not getting hit. You also used to get quite a few snipers who made some cowardly cheap shots. It was all part of it but it ruined some blokes for life too. Players also used to verbally abuse umpires too on occasion. Different time.
Go find a video called 7's magic moments of afl. Ripping watch of the old game. And another one I use to watch was called "the electrifying 80's" use to watch this two on repeat as a kid at my grandparents.
That last one was genuinely quite funny
Yeah 'eye contact'😄😄
It's funny because it's true.
So funny😂
Eye contact 💀💀💀
💀💀💀💀
I was laughing when he said is he looking at me
The old high contact + eye contact...rough
That may be the most hilarious drive by elbow ever put to film. So casual, love it.
The 80s....peak Australian civilisation.
Not really, 80s were high elbows on a player with eyes on the footy, unmanly to say the least
90s was the peak of AFL standards, most players could use both sides and there was little milking decisions.
2000s they stopped focusing on skill and instead referenced endurance when recruiting
Eh if I watch 80s and 90s games now it pisses me off to see so many players in the defensive 50 kick directly for the boundary😆
I've seen this a million times and it still is so funny
50 meters you did the extremely common gesture of disapproval by putting your arms up. 300 meters for looking back at me.
first 50 wasn't just the language, but the way he threw the ball at him
Why is this so true for an Aussie 😂😂😂
As a local umpire, this was fkn funny
Richmond player pokes someone umpires “50 meter”
Is he looking at me👹
If the Australians are complaining about crap like this, then we as a society must come together and stop these refs once and for all.
Which refs?
Not trying to be rude but we call them Umpires

@@bobheyotue9850 Oh well I prefer umpire then ref anyway
@@jimmymadzcfc4836 maybe it’s just because I’m American .
😂 that’s gold boys ! Nailed it!
Eye contact 😂
Modern umpires have ruined the game. Players should be treating the game like it was last century.
Fuuuuck, I am crying 😂 this is spot on
For me 90s and 2000s because it was still rough but fair
Why is this so true😂❤
the way the umpire said 50 meters you don't speak to me like that
The last one was absolutely hilarious
Australians are kin to Canadians! Nothing but love from the great white north to the land down under!
This is so good. 'Nothin in dat won grow a pebble'
and the 'eye contact' Lol
Eye contact was a legitimate lol.
😂😂😂 well done boys, born in 79 I can definitely relate. 😂😂😂
Last one was hilarious 😂🔥
this is the best and only us Aussies can understand this especially from vfl days
Bro this is so true!!!! 😂
I love when he gave away a fifty the umpire brought him back to his goals not the one he’s kicked at for the game
This is me when I get angry playing footy (in the 80s the guy who said UMPIRE!?!?)
Love the Razor Ray umpiring at the end there
How true this is.
So true though, afl has got so much softer
‘Nothin in zat grow a pair of balsh…’ 💀
Cados with the brief cameo 🐐
I love this video
The umpire ran the wrong way in that last one 😂
You forgot to add the reign of hands on the back... One of the worst rules
That is what happend to me the other week. Got absolutely robbed in my u/13 boys game. Cheers to the gramp who did the “Amazing” umpiring!
I love your videos
I can’t even shake my friends hand after the game at school
Good old times 😢😢

TTFU as chopper would say.
Should do kicking at goal over the decades. Nothing has changed 😂
Very true mate very true
So true
Is this comedy or just a genuine documentary hard to tell at this point 😂😂😂
Well done guys, very funny.
GO TIGERS 🐯
AFL umpiring in 2025: "but you were thinking it"
How true
“ eYe cOntAcT” 😂😂😂💀
The 80s was personal💀
And even the 90s 💀
This so true how times have changed
I went on that exact field on Saturday the 20th July
I touch the other player, umpire- HIGH CONTACT
I actually got in trouble by the umpire from rolling my eyes after I tackled a guy hard and complained
I like how you are filming that beat the MCG
I remember in the 90s Michael Voss literally put Alan Richardson in a coma and it was play on, lol.
never happened (the umpire probably) :D
Very true

2000s was definitely the best decade
2022 true
Make more videos like this 😂😂😂
In 2023 I conceded a 50 because I threw the ball to the man awarded the free and he dropped the catch 😂
Next the umps are gonna have Apple Vision Pros telling what the call is
So true 💯😭😭😭😭
That last one hits different after the Freo Carlton game last week
Thanks Gil
Very accurate
Is hE LoOKiNg At Me
This is so true
Eye contactl LOL 🤣
this is so real😂🤣😂
True
The best so funny!
so true
Does anyone realise that the stadium AAMI park, home ground for the Melbourne Storm NRL is in the background?
Hilarious but true no more touching allowed
Great finish very funny
So true Australia
BAHAHHAHAHA😂
And then there’s the bit where they don’t get the bits that matters the most? 😂
So true 2022
Bro this is so so so so so true
Team richmand. 👇🏻
Yep, that's about what it's descended to when some umpires think they control the game.
NHL refs 🤝 AFL Umpires
not understanding what
illegal contact to the
back should be
As an American learning about the AFL, I'm sad that I missed the 80's AFL!
