What is AFL? Aussie Rules Explained

This sport is better than rugby😅

Crap sport Rugby union is much better

I watched AFL once on a flight, it was confusing… now i‘m a little bit less confused…

Heard about AFL and after seeing this It is really a hybrid powerfull entertaining game love to be a fan of this sports.

I'm guessing you can't tackle if they don't have the ball?

to many rules.... silly.... soccer/football is supreme

My grandmother was Australian but she lived in America for over 40 years and she did become an American citizen in 2001. The first time she saw American football she was like “This is football?!?!” Because in American football there’s not so much kicking haha. I do follow the AFL from New York but it’s challenging because the games are usually in the middle of the night.

Football ⚽️ American Football 🏈 Basketball 🏀 and Rugby 🏉 all in one.

hi from Czech republic in central europa, so for me it is new thing that such game exist, or maybe I heard in the past about this sport game, but without imagine what it means, so have a good time pals

Dangous

I love watching AFL games. Hard to find over here in the US, but some are available.

This is a brilliant description of the game.

wow at first i'm confused but now i want to watch this sport when NFL isn't around

I'm an American. Just watched this, then started watching a game, and i have questions. Wtf was that throw in? A ref chucking it backwards over their head?

Can you do a more in-depth explainer?

Not going to watch. Our good old sport is now a joke.

Cmon now. The fist pass is in Gaelic Football too. 😂

How is this different from Rugby? Somebody pls explain

Back in the mid-80s ESPN used to show matches late at night in the US. Back then they had just moved to broadcasting around the clock and had trouble filling out the schedule. I seem to recall thinking that 80% of the rules are very intuitive and you can pick most of them up just by watching part of one match. I guess having no offsides rule helps...

Show this to west coast and north melbourne

I‘m from Germany…the sport sounds so interesting

Show this to West Coast Eagles

O Thor no podpah citou esse esporte

VIM PELO CHRIS NO PODPAH

This game suits Australia. It’s stupid.

Charlie needs to watch this

Came from Moist Critical Charlie playing the game. I needed to understand what was happening.

Seems similar to both rugby & American football.

“Speed of nfl” …doubt

This looks way more energetic and exciting than the NFL!

How to get a Collingwood fan to shut up:
1: remind them of 2018 they break down into tears every time!
2: remind them that they have missing teeth due to their violence and profanity.
3: remind them that West Coast will drink their tears again if they are especially mouthy.

It’s amazing how different countries have different sports that are popular.

So can you kick for goal from anywhere on the field? And you can only kick for goal, you can't run it under the posts and touch it down?

if football and american football had a child

this is like nfl and rugby mixed together

I had no idea this game existed until age 30… it’s amazing

This looks more interesting than the rugby league

Football for kickers and punters

I've known about AFL.
But it isn't a regular thing in the USA.
BUT, AFTER THE LATEST " NFL PRO BOWL " ?
I'm just loosing interest.
So now, I am checking out this league.
I already Love the natural physical playing style.
Being that live in Cleveland, Ohio.
We have semi amateur league.
The Cleaning Cannons.
It'll be easier to see A live game to get a better grasp of the scoring.

Handball is not unique to AFL, Gaelic football also have hand passes either with an open palm or a fist.

Now I know what watching football feels like for Europeans lmao

AFL is the most underrated sport in the world. The only surprising thing I didn't know was that the father of AFL was the former cricketer 🏏🏏 Greeting from India

Fascinated by the stamina of the athletes and of how spectacular the game looks!

wuuuuttt

Go the crows!!

Everything in Australia reminds me of the duckbill platypus

That aside my only issue here is kicking the ball between some sticks is just kinda an anti-climatic ending. Doesn’t electrify me like an acrobatic catch in the endzone or busting through a wall of humanity to score.

LOVE AFL💗
