My old boss who was from England said to me once, AFL looks like seagulls fighting over a chip packet at the beach. While I enjoy the sport, that quote still rings true to me 15 years later 😂😂😂

100%! As an American who's gotten involved with amateur footy as an adult (so I'm often explaining it from absolute zero), this is incredible. The AFL's video is full of "whoa, look at our epic sport, it's so hardcore and cool, please like our sport" that makes it seem LESS approachable. Take this video and add some visuals, and it's a superior introduction.

'What do we call it? A John? A Dave...No wait wait wait a Mark!" Gold Jimmy Bravo!🤣

"Sir, have you seen an oval ball bounce?" "Hahaha!" I'm dying! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yes, because they are not THAT important. JK.

You get a point in Canadian Football if you miss the Goal but the ball clears the End Zone and in Gaelic Football and Hurling you get a point if the ball goes above the goal but stays between the posts

that video actually has less mistakes in it than the explenation video by the AFL ^^

Being counted as behind for grazing the post is what always confuses me the most. It feels like a communication error when the creator said "cleanly through the posts" for a goal because they didn't have video to decide close calls and they interpreted it to mean "no contact with the post AT ALL", and spend 5min of high def video replays and hot spot technology to decide if it was a goal or not. Come on Australia, lets fix this travesty against common sense. Through the big posts=goal, through the small post=behind, outside posts=miss.

The blowing bubbles in the glass of "grog" makes me laugh aloud every time :)

It’s what happens when there is no offside. Unstructured seagull chip fight.

Fun fact; soccer did give you points for missing. Before the rules were agreed at the FA in 1872, Sheffield FC, the oldest soccer club in the world, used to play with "Rouges" that were either side of the main goalposts, and would be counted separately to the goals (like the Gaelic points system)
