At your height you would make a good AFL ruckman. After every goal, out of bounds or stoppage in play the umpire usually bounces (sometimes throws up) the ball up and the two opposing ruckmen tap down the ball (similar to a basketball center ball up) to their team mates.
One American basketballer, Mason Cox has made the transition to playing Aussie rules football in the AFL. There are several other international players from various other sports that have played in AFL.
Philip Andrew thanks bro, I’d have to ask Cox for some advice on the transition !
Interesting...didn’t know anything about this game before. I can see why it’s popular. These athletes are skilled, energetic, & brave.
Its an old game too. Aussie rules football was first codified in 1858.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origins_of_Australian_rules_football
Thank you all for sharing this information with an American guy like me! I’m honestly learning a lot about this sport and have crazy respect for these athletes they’re beasts!!
Her you go! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mason_Cox
dude check out mason cox he's the only american playing in the league
and he's my height!!
He's good too.
The American pie...as he is commonly known as...
Mason is very good. Genuinely good dude too. Jason Holmes was the first born and bred American to play. He's not in the AFL anymore, but theres some cool videos about his journey to the AFL and then his eventual debut. His brother Andre plays for the Buffalo Bills in the NFL
michaelas1985 Jason Holmes only played 5 games in the afl compared to Mason Coxes 58 od games.
Bro you're 6'10? Once you're done with basketball become a ruckman
I just might consider this
@@NepDaStep Can you run 13 Kms? We sent Simmonds to you to your NBL draft and he took pick one for Philadelphia (too bad he got injured) His second option was to be Collingwood's Ruckman.
IAmCecilMan damn glad we didn’t get him, got the best in the comp now
The AFL Grand Final is meant to be the last Saturday in September, but it does sometimes turn out to be the first Saturday in October.

I’m sure the Grand Final for many people is strongly associated with Springtime down there I’m guessing? Like it doesn’t truly feel like Spring until the Grand Final is on? Haha that’s how I imagine it
A couple of things from the video
- When they show the scoreboard, they mean goals, behinds, and total score. So when they show Collingwood's score, they mean 20 goals (worth 6 each), 10 behinds, (worth 1 each), and a total score of 130. Same goes with Carlton.
- When they explain marking the ball, that actually just means any time someone catches a ball on the full after it has been kicked by any player on the field. The marks showed are some of the best in recent years, but only a handful of players are skilled enough to leap like that and hold those marks consistently.
- Every week the AFL selects a mark of the week and goal of the week, with each entry being nominated for mark of the year or goal of the year. If a player wins either one, they get a pretty cool prize (I think it's a car?). Those awards are presented alongside the Brownlow Medal, which is the equivalent of the MVP. Umpires vote each match for the best 3 players on the field, and the player with the most votes at the end of the season wins the most prestigious award in the AFL! (unless they've been suspended for breaking the rules, you should watch 'Andrew Gaff's hit on Brayshaw', it was pretty nasty!)
- Hope you actually get into this sport a little and watch the Grand Final that's coming up! It would be awesome to see the sport played more regularly around the world, and hopefully you'll be able to get down to the MCG for a match one day!
It's awesome seeing someone from overseas checking out our AFL. Good job mate!
Gore Vidal thanks bro
Look up Mason Cox... Really the first American to come over and make an impact. Ex-college basketball player.
Just made a reaction to him and the Richmond game!
Let me know your favorite AFL team in the comments!
Adelaide Crows ❤️💛💙 #weflyasone
PAFC
Adelaide Crows
Collingwood is life ⚫️⚪️⚫️⚪️
Sydney Swans!
Thanks for reacting to this dude! I subbed. Yeah the finals started this week and the Grand Final will be September 29th. I go for the Richmond Tigers, who are expected to win this years premiership. You should pick a team if you keep reacting to AFL videos hahaha all the best.
Ricky Nardella thanks for watching again Ricky! I just might end up picking a team then lol. I’m about to drop another AFL video in about 30 mins so stay tuned bro💪
Thanks for subbing also! #Family
Preliminary Finals are this weekend Richmond vs Collingwood & West Coast Eagles vs Melbourne the GF is next weekend 29th
I plan on reacting to it!👍
Cool video
thanks bro🤘
The top 8 teams have been playing finals (play offs) since the beginning of September and the Grand final (super-bowl) will be played on the 29th September at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).
Awesome! Thanks for letting me know Philip!
Yes what u call a catch ....In Aussie Rules Football its called "A MARK" Yes players r allowed to leap as high as they can to mark the ball ...But not allowed hands on the back of the opposition player 😊
Thankyou for reacting to this such an amazing sport
It is amazing! One of the best sports if not the best sport I’ve ever seen lol and I’m a basketball player!
Thanks for watching !
Its cool watching you guys react to this sport and how big it is. To be honest I live in Western Sydney and AFL is no where near as big here as it is in the rest of the country. I went on holidays in Melbourne and it was like someone flicked a switch on the weekend and put everyone in a footy shirt. Even my wife and I were surprised and we live in Aus. Its massive around the country. We have a game called rugby league (which don't really care for myself), which is bigger than AFL in NSW, but not even close to AFL on a national scale.
First finals Sydney V Greater Western Sydney,Melbourne V Geelong, Hawthorn V Richmond, West Coast Eagles V Collingwood.
Because of the position of the ladder the top 4 get two chances to get in to the final.
Greater Western Sydney won so Sydney eliminated
Melbourne won so Geelong eliminated.
West Coast still to play against Collingwood (just started)
Richmond straight to semi final two weeks from now
Next Week Melbourne play Hawthorn(second chance)
Loser of West Coast V Collingwood play Greater Western Sydney(2nd chance) next week and the winner (as with Richmond) goes to the Semi in two weeks time.
Both winners of the Semi finals go to the Grand Final 3 weeks from now. Usually last Saturday in September.
Hope this helps.
100,000 people at Grand Final
Thank you, this helps!
Mithras Revisited Richmond to the Preliminary Final play the winner out of Collingwood and GWS tonight
You have a real appreciation for the skills and the toughness of sports. I gather you are a basketballer, which is a game with crazy skill and toughness requirements also.Great video
Yep! I’ve been a hooper my entire life so far(: glad I found another sport to cheer on when I’m not watching the NBA
this was the first footy youtube reaction I watched and I just seen the video recommended on the last footy reaction I watched. Turns out I went on to watch a lot of these
Thanks for uploading this bro... I think I have clear image on how the game works now!?
You seem to be doing well with Aussie Crowd(subcribers)man !! 😜😂
My subscriber count is growing like crazy right now🙏
And thanks for commenting as always bro!!
One fact for you - a mark is what they call a regular catch. When a player uses their opponent as a springboard to jump higher, it’s called a “spectacular mark” or “specky”
Good on you for checking it out bro.. It''s a pretty F*ucking awesome game in RL.
There is a match getting played in California this year between essendon and gws.
I gotta try to get tix
Enjoyed your reaction video Mate! Finals are in full swing. Next weekend Port Adelaide play Western Bulldogs in Adelaide and Melbourne Demoons play Geelong cats in Perth. Then the winners will meet in the Grand final two weeks later in Perth. Hope you can get to watch the games. Cheers Nick
We're in the semi finals right now, Collingwood vs Richmond and West Coast Eagles vs Melbourne Demons, grand final is next week on the 30th of September (always falls on the last Saturday in September). My team is the demons and we haven't won a premiership since 1964, but this is the year of the demons!!! Carn Melbourne!!!
Let’s gooooo! I plan on reacting to both
Jamie Balls not anymore xd
West Coast Eagles beat Collingwood so next week
Collingwood play Greater Western Sydney at the MCG(I assume)
Melbourne will play Hawthorn(MCG)
The winners of these play Richmond and West Coast Eagles.
Collingwood or Greater Western Sydney to play Richmond(they finished top of ladder)
Melbourne or Hawthorn play West Coast Eagles
Winners play off in the Grand final.
I'll try to watch!
Hey bro, glad your taking a look into our great game. Surely you would have heard about that boy from Texas Mason Cox best on ground effort the other night. you should react to the highlights of that game. Richmond v Collingwood prelim final
Yes the grand final is coming up! So excited!!
I know! Let's gooo!
All good Hope it this one helped you out :) & one things some guys on youtube get confused on that final score layout.
It's setup as the Final Score said Collingwood 20 10 130 that means 20 goals 10 behinds = 130 points.
Thank you!👍
I like your reactions bro
When you get on an opponents shoulders it looks so good in slow motion
The AFL Grand Final is at the end of the month if you are wondering who will play it will be between 2 teams but there are the semi-finals first Richmond Vs Collingwood and Westcoast vs Melbourne then winners off those game will go into the AFL Grand final
I’m looking forward to reacting to them👍thanks for watching and commenting!
Another Note, If you score a goal you the ball returns to center fro another ball up. If you kick a behind the defenders get an unimpeded kick from the goal square to resume play.
Grand Final is the last Saturday this month, get a hold of your local USAFL club, they usually turn it into a fundraiser!
I Love how Australia, New Zealand and the US have their own versions of football and don't go stupid crazy. I worked at the MCG and the NGV art gallery until the covid plague shut the world down. I miss my old life. Maybe someday, I could visit the US and watch an NFL game live. Go Hawthorne.
If you would like to understand more rules about the AFL go to this video for more information czcams.com/video/Dtmu-1kMFZw/video.html
Its so cute seeing americans react! Please do more reacting to AFL
NepDaStep, come holiday in Australia, watch a game live at the MCG, would make a great vid..
I’d love too, that’d be awesome !
You should look up Mason Cox he’s an American and a former college basketball player, now playing for the Collingwood Football Club here in the AFL. At 6ft 11in he plays as a Forward/ Backup Ruckman
I’ve looked him up before because some of my subscribers have said I could be the next him lol...I’m thinking of doing a reaction to him!
I've converted over to being an AFL fan from being a die-hard rugby league supporter as i hail from traditional rugby league state of Queensland... I still support rugby league but am more into AFL nowadays... some fun things i found about AFL:
1) its played on an oval field which means alot of variety and things happening compared to guys running up and down and tackling each other on a square rugby league field...where everything is pretty much predictable...AFL however has alot of unpredictability
2) At the start of the game all teams run through banners that are created by their dedicated supporter group fans..
3) Generally seating behind each ends of the goal posts are designated for the home team fans and the opposition team fans... these groups of fans are known as "cheer squads"...they carry flags, large banners, and big pompoms which they wave around when their team scores a goal (kicked through the middle posts)...or they wave around and boo to distract the opposition team from kicking a goal..
4) each teams club song is played as they run out onto the field (and through the banners)..the good thing is at full time - the winning team's song is played again...even if its a visiting opposition team - their song is still played, allowing the fans to have a few minutes of celebration...how awesome is it to have your team's club song played at the home ground of a hated team? its awesome because you can really rub crap in and bask in the moment of victory...
5) its a fashion thing - its pretty cool going to a game as fans will wear scarves and beanies, or hoodie jackets, have their face painted or even dress up...
6) generally when at the game you don't know how long is left in the quarter, the clock that ticking and on display near the scoreboard is only timing how long has progressed in that quarter...so being at the game its full of suspense and being on the edge of your seat, especially in the 4th and final quarter and your team is up by 5 points - you don't know how long is left and so you are hoping and praying the final siren sounds before the opposition scores a goal... however the coaches sitting up in the coaches boxes in the stadium (with a birds eye view of the game), actually have TVs showing the live game and how long is left before the quarter ends... when you are watching the game at home on TV, there is a timer on there showing how long left in the quarter...however this is not so live at the game...which makes it interesting and fun...
7) once you have been introduced to afl - its like a religion! you are hooked and cant get enough! trust me - i was a loyal rugby league fan, i still follow rugby league but i would pick watching an AFL game any day over rugby league...
I didn't see if anyone clarified the bouncing in addition to the brief mention in the video, but basically when you decide to run with the ball as opposed to passing (hand-balling) or kicking, there is a "travel" rule sort of like basketball has. At least every 15 metres (ie, about 16 yards) the ball must be bounced or otherwise touch the ground. Naturally it's the umpire's judgment when this rule is infringed and you do occasionally get a generous interpretation of the rule. There is a technique to successfully bounce the ball on the run, but with it's oval shape, there's not too much margin for error before it can all go wrong. Of course the pro players are expected to be able to do it in their sleep.
Watch out for Mason Cox .....Really tall american guy who plays for a team called Collingwood(Their nickname "The Magpies")
All of our AFL teams have thr own nicknames for that particular side ....For example Essendon "The Bombers" ......Sydney "The Swans" ......Brisbane "Brisbane Lions" etc etc ......Anyway u will get the idea as u keep watching more n more of our AFL Videos 😉😆😆
Super helpful and informative of you to share more info with me about your sport thanks Leanne
@@NepDaStep U r very welcome 🙂
Yes ...If the ball hits the post or is touched by the opposition player...Its called a "Behind" which is worth 1 point
When the ball does hit the post ....We generally call it a poster lol 🤣🤣🤣
Our Grand Final games normally r around August/September ...Sometimes may roll into October but not often 🙂
As a tall yankyou should check out Mason Cox ,he plays for Collingwood. Ex US College basketball. Great find. Im a Giants fan but you can appreciate quality.
I’ve heard a lot about him and my subscribers keep telling me 👍thanks !
You should come to Australia to watch a game if you want to there are games every week from March to september
You must watch the womens AFL and look at Tayla Harris's kicking style, it is the best. The intensity of the womens it brilliant and these women ate just as talented as the men.
2:27 This is called a Handball
Love how he was saying it like the person was a baby
also for the behind. if someone touches it and it goes through the goals. its still a behind, even if your own team touches it except for their foot
I go for hawthorn (hawks) and the stadium is called mcg and I come from Australia and it’s my favourite sport.
we just started finals season my team plays tonight !
Best of luck to your team!🏆
Thanks for watching !
West Coast Eagles AFL champions of 2018. Even gave Collingwood a 28 point head start. And the Eagles still won.
Go the Eagles, we're flying high.
Sucks to be a Colllingwood fan. Poor Eddie.
Congrats on the victory!
theres actually an American player who plays on the team I go for ( Collingwood ) he's names Mason Cox you should really check him out, its amazing how he gained a passion for an Australian sport from the other side of the world.
Too bad he plays for collingwood
you should check out 'Roll out the barrel' biggest kicks in the AFL
I’ll react to that!👍🔥

hey, you should react to Best & Worst Hits, Bumps & Fights in Women's AFL 2017 AFLW. Also up the PIES!!!!
I’ll give it a look thanks for suggesting Ineka
You might have to come down under and try out, some top basketballers have made it into the team I follow.. checkout the Adelaide Crows Hugh Greenwood.. He played basketball over in the states and now is a gun player for us... This game is more then a sport for us aussies, its a religion over here :)
At 6'10" tall, you'd be highly sought after. They'd teach you to play the game if you've got any ball coordination. You could be a ruckman or a full-forward that just marks & kicks goals because at the end of the game when everyone else is exhausted you're still 6'10" tall. Jumping at the end is incredibly taxing. There's an American NBA player that plays for Collingwood, Mason Cox. He's about an inch taller than you but has become a very good footballer...
And people were saying Pies need to get rid of him at the end of last year......."The experiment has failed" lol He learnt the game in 2015 and is still learning a lot about it.....give him a break, Now look at him haha, helped to win us a prelim final.
My team is Hawthorn The grand final is normally played at the end of September
The grand final is on the 29th of September
I'll try to react to it! Thanks!
Let’s go Eagles!!!
Mark Blakeley tomorrow and eagles are gonna win
you might do a reaction to todays Grand Final. was a hell of a game, littetally decided only in the last 2 minutes. but i wanted to let you know about Mason Cox, a Texas kid, playing college hoops that went to an AFL combine in the States and gpt drafted to play for Collingwood Magpies. he is now given the title American Pie (pie being short for mag'pie'}.
here is a story, i think it would make an interesting story to follow, he had a great transition and mega year on ground.
www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/american-pie-collingwood-s-improbable-key-forward-20180920-p50537.html
thanks
I’ve reacted to him a few times bro! Love seeing an American doing well in the AFL
Now check out the NRL. National Rugby League.
Sounds good bro
It is good, mate. It's the most popular code of football in Australia after AFL. This is rugby league. Not rugby. League is the 13 man game. Rugby fields 15. Here's a video for you. I hope you enjoy it. czcams.com/video/zeMQhRl2Sow/video.html
Love your show, G’Day from an Aussie Fan. 🇦🇺🇺🇸🇦🇺🇺🇸🦘🦘🦘
This is some really unique content.
The afl grand final for 2018 is on the 29th or 30th of September
the 29th in Aussie time
The end of this month is the grand final 29th September (my birthday) :)
Grand final is 29th of September this year.
Can you do one video for each team for the clubs best players moments if you can find them
West coast and collingwood are playing in the grandy tomorrow
Good vid
thanks!
if your tall, quick and dont mind a few knocks and bumps you should play. there are teams in the US. and maybe you can be the next Mason Cox.
Yessir!!💪
You can now do a video Cricket as well..2nd Biggest sport in Australia and Biggest by no. Of Players.. Especially on T20 Cricket and Australia's Big Bash League #justsaying
Some of These players run about 15 to 19 km in a game
Who is everyone going for in the grand final? Collingwood or west coast?
I'm going for Collingwood
John Harradine eagles all the way
Go Geelong Cats ( the blue and white stripes across
Silver_ Duck23 up the cats
Love em
The grand final this year is Saturday 28th September
Finals always in September and Grand Final end of September every year
We all learn how to fight at the age of 5 down here. It's so we can deal with all the deadly animals trying to kill us. Playing football and trying to hurt each other is fun and comes natural to us down here.
Good reaction mate! Do you think you could react to gaelic football and hurling? Two sports we have here in Ireland, gaelic football is a little bit like aussie rules (you get some Irish players going down to play there). Here's a highlight video I have made for gaelic football - czcams.com/video/YzTJo9KibZk/video.html and here is highlights of this years All-Ireland Hurling final: czcams.com/video/VUSZD4awiLo/video.html
LIKED! SUBBED! DID THE THING WITH THE BELL!
you should definitely look at doing a live stream, you cant show the game obviously, but you could get great reactions LIVE it would be great natural feedback!
KURGEN IMMORTALS thanks bro great suggestion also I’ll be looking into doing so once the playoffs start
Just out of interest, a lot of AFL players love to follow US Basketball.
Glad you like the game, it's fkn epic once you get into it.
Cheers
Deep Bass I’m getting back into AFL and was thinking of doing basketball reactions once the AFL season ends
Best game in the world...
Grand final is next weekend. Will probably be Melbourne vs Richmond
Yep.....Melbourne vs Richmond is right........oh wait haha
Eagles won the grand final for this AFL (;
(I've lowkey been wearing Eagles merch everyday for about a month, went to the finals & prelims but sadly the trip to the MCG is too hard atm)
GO EAGLES!!
Check out my reaction to it here(: czcams.com/video/7iROX0PyFLE/video.html
The US has it's own amateur Aussie rules league... look them up at USAFL.com... They also have a Facebook presence.
Port Adelaide
North Melbourne
3:23 well it’s awesome when done right. What’s not so awesome is boys who think they’re so cool jumping on top of you and pretending to take a “specky” (slang for spectacular mark) for no real reason at all and crashing you to the ground and digging they’re shoes into you’re back. From experience and living with 3 brother it really hurts. But yes when done correctly it looks pretty cool.
Search AFL last 2 minutes. Greatest finishes to games
I'll be sure to look it up!
thanks
They don't really explain the scoreboard
They give the example: Collingwood 20 10 130
But they don't explain this
It is goals (six points), behinds (1 point), and then total.
SO it's 20 goals = 10 points = 130
((20x6)+(10x1))=130
AFL gf is on September 29, or the last Saturday of September each year.
grand final last saturday in sept
Thanks! I plan on watching !!
Watching a whole game will give you a better sense of the skills and drama. I hope it is a close game for you. You can check times on afl.com.au . Cheers
Thank you Maggs Gorilla🤙🏽🇦🇺
mate there's USAFL you should look into it
Can you react to 2018 grand final highlights after it has happened?
It's getting bigger in the USA now..There exists a group called the USAFL with over 40 cities playing ..There is even a national championship ..For the Collingwood Magpies in the AFL is a Texan born player called Mason Cox . He was an ex college basketballer who now plays in the elite AFL and is playing finals this year ..Look out for him ..Here's a recent interview on a football tv show czcams.com/video/oqrNrhDLLF8/video.html He's a bit taller than you ..at 211 cm ..or 7 ..ft..Here's a little bit about Americans who play in the USAFL stateside czcams.com/video/FbcwJd2gKbI/video.html
On average, AFL players run an impressive 12-14 kilometres per game; some exceptional players can even surpass the 20 kilometre mark.
CARN THE WEAGLES
Tigers 🐯 pre-lim final this coming Friday grand final week after its going to be huge 💛🖤💛🖤
Respect to you the other ones that I have watched they just yell keep it up
Collingwood!
29th of September
Tomorrow!
tim tam_20 ik and eagles are gonna win
Australia is a bit weird when it comes to footy were very divided by state to what code of footy you support like my home state of Queensland we have two afl teams but afl is not very popular its never shown on mainstream tv its always on secondary channels in my state rugby league is the more popular sport the same as in New South Wales as well
Definitely love the Aussie rules man it’s an awesome sport
I wouldn't say "not very popular". Maybe "not as popular" as league in QLD. But after three Lions Premierships, it has definately grown. AFL's popularity in QLD is bigger than League's popularity in AFL states (the majority of Australia). NRL wins the TV viewers battle, but AFL has 10 times the crowds because AFL people actually go to the games.
yeah thats fair but don't think its right to say they have ten times the crowd especially in Brisbane last time i went to a lions game the gabba was virtually empty compared to a broncos game
Well that's just Brisbane...when you go nationally, the AFL has crowds the NRL could only dream of.
i am not disputing at all simply stating that Australia when it comes to football it is divided by state if you move to QLD your not going to have huge crowds at the AFL as compared to League but if you go to Melbourne or South Australia of Course you are
I went to the MCG
