One comment, you don't get a 'free kick' every time a player is tackled. They usually result in 'ball-ups' where the umpire throws the ball up in the air, like at the start of the game, for the teams to contest.

+FeathertopDT I was referring to when the tackled player does not dispose of the ball (having had opportunity to do so). I think you call this 'holding the ball'. Then it's paid with a free kick.

@thegreentimtam

For a four minute video on the rules, this is a fine way of explaining it in my opinion. The holding the ball rule is by far the most complicated rule in AFL, but at its most basic it is "if you tackle someone while they are in possession of the ball, you are rewarded a free kick". Exceptions are made if there was no opportunity for them to handpass or kick the ball prior to the tackle, resulting in "play on". But this is an exception. It just so happens that most tackles happen before the opportunity to dispose of the ball. If the games enters a stalemate, with the ball unable to move, the umpire will call for a ball up. This almost always happens after a player is tackled, with the ball trapped and the player unable to pass or kick it. But I think this is out of the scope of the video, along with other more complicated rules such as out of bounds (on the full/deliberate), deliberate rush behinds, and other tackling rules, like diving onto the football and ducking into a tackle.

@ImGodTheMaryBanger

It's a ball up if the tackled player has no prior opportunity to pass the ball

Just wanted to clarify a few things in this video for those interested: -There are 4x20min quarters but there are stoppages too (ie whenever the umpire stops the game or when the ball goes out of the sideline) which results in roughly 4x30min quarters in real time. -Tackling doesn't get you awarded a free kick in every circumstance, you are not penalised if you didn't have enough time upon receiving the ball to dispose of it or if you managed to get a legal disposal (HB or kick) whilst being tackled. -The amount of free time allocated to a player after a mark is to the discretion of the umpire, usually less than 10 seconds in the midfield or defense as they want to keep the game moving. There is a 30 second period for players who mark inside the 50, but that is also awarded to those just outside the 50 if they indicate to the umpire they want to attempt to kick a goal and they believe they are within kicking distance of the goal line. -A new rule has just come out this year the the 120 interchange cap has been reduced to 90, to make the game harder and testing the endurance of player more, instead of relying on the interchange so much.

Showed this video to my friends, and now we are hooked on this game. If only they had this at my high school.

Thanks for the quick and easy explanation. I've been watching for years and before the internet had no idea what the rules were. Being from the States (Oregon) people had no idea how the game was played or what the rules were. I finally got off my lazy butt and decided to GOOGLE and get some information about rules, stategy, etc. For anyone who hasn't watched a game let me tell you it's exciting and intriguing as hell. Your explanation and video has cleared up a bunch of questions I had, "thanks". I don't know why Americans love their brand of football so much? It's a slow game, 30 seconds between plays, penalties on just about every other play that slow the game down, not very much scoring and the rule book is as thick as the U.S. Tax Code book. Aussie rules football and all professional soccer are much faster, easier to understand and overall much better games too watch and far more exciting. I like Rugby too but that is one game that seems complicated and I need to get some info so I can understand the rules. Great game and tough as hell players. Both Rugby and Aussie Football players are far tougher players than U.S. footballers (no pads or helmets and they knock the crap out of each other). In U.S. football there seems to be a game ending injury on every third or fourth play and these guys are wearing pads from head to toe plus helmets. There are a lot of constant injuries in soccer as well but players are rarely taken off the field and miss the game due to injury (and they don't wear pads, except shin guards). Anyway, well done and once again, thanks for the good info. (I'm watching the "West Coast Eagles vs. Hawthorn" as I'm writing this. The Eagles are thrashing Hawthorn 48-17 in the 3rd period).

matt johnson I'm fully aware of the doping saga etc. I started watching them before all that stuff happened. I know that in AFL circles: Essendon and their fans are 'scum', but I don't particularly care about that. Having said that, Essendon really stunk up the joint this season. Really painful to watch.

I used to think of this game as Basketball and Rugby's athleticism with soccer's skill but the more I have seen of it I realize while it has the skill's of many other sport's it is not like any of them it is just Australian Football.

looks cool - I'm a rugby (and cricket) fan and I particularly like the concept of the speckie.

Thank you man! - All the more reason for me to be grateful is that about a year ago this very video had opened for me the fascinating world of the Aussie Rules Football which I regard now as indeed the most interesting and exciting (simply the best!) football game of all other codes. Since then I've grown into a real footy fan and a kind of 'expert' in the AFL matter (probably the only one in Russia :)): I follow Geelong, but also I sympathize with Bombers (despite their known issues), I respect Western Bulldogs, Carlton and Collingwood... And I admire Clarkson!

+Joshua “Baby J” Ryan - Fair enough... In fact, that was my first idea, but I discarded it. The arm belts (or ribbons?) look too uniform for a spontaneous personal expression of sympathy. Also, come to think of it: SEVERAL players at EVERY match - that looks like a bit too high mortality rate for the AFL (besides, I do not remember seeing ALL players wear black arm belts during the matches when the whole of Australia was mourning for Phil Walsh). Moreover, once I spotted a player with TWO belts on his left arm (sorry, I didn't pay much attention to it at the moment. so I do not remember who exactly it was - someone of Hawks, or maybe Eagles). So, my second guess was the belts must have something to do with counting interchanges (or maybe fouls) of a particular player in the game.

+Alexander Shumilov Yeah, it does seem a lot. But I watch matches on TV every week and go to a game every other week, and I've never heard of any other reason. There might be one, but I've never heard of it. I wore a black band in a game myself once, and that was for a player's mother dying.

Still the best Aussie Rules video out there, IMO.

Loved your explanation. If you do need specifics that you don't understand what or why just ask. I played from 5 till 29 & at 61 have never really been away from the game. I'm a Swans (Sydney) platinum member & have been watching footie full-time since very young both live & televised. To give an indicator Stephen Silvagni's (pronounced Sil-varney) son, Jack plays for Carlton but I remember watching Stephen's father Sergio playing...

AustOpinion55 Funny you should say that, if I didn't start recently asking everyone else that question, I would be an Essendon fan. Games rarely get shown here in the UK and the only teams that seem to get shown are Essendon, Collingwood and Hawthorn. Essendon are the most entertaining out of the three. But I've asked this question to several people who told me to stay the hell away from Essendon, lest I sell my soul to the devil (or something along those lines). I'm all for backing Essendon, but can you tell me why people hate them so much? The recent contorversy doesn't help of course.

Thank you for making this video. My wife and I started watching ARF a couple of weeks ago and have trouble understanding the rules some times. I noticed that when a ball goes out of bounds some times a player throws it back in and some times a ref does, could you tell me what determines who throws it back in?

@BrandonjSlippingAway

8 жыл бұрын

Yes this is easily explained; if the ball goes 'out of bounds on the full' or in other words goes out of bounds from a kick without bouncing first- the other team gets the ball. If the ball bounces out of play, is punched out of bounds, run out of play or anything like that; the umpire throws it back in. The only exception to this is if the umpire deems there was no effort to keep it in play, and rules it 'intentional out of bounds'.

+BadtemperedandGrumpy 5 states out of 6 in Australia have teams and it is the primary game played all over except NSW and QLD (more Rugby League oriented). AFL regular season games are played in all 6 states and 2 territories. There is watchafl.com subscription for overseas views and it might be something like under 50 pounds for a whole year. That includes every game live, and replays of every game that season etc. Some teams to watch; -Western Bulldogs: Extremely fast, exciting, agile and attacking side. -Hawthorn Hawks: Champions last three years in a row and extremely well coached. -Richmond Tigers: Always a lot of drama in their games, either rock up unstoppable or shakey -Sydney Swans: A team lined with a bunch of champion players and contenders.
