The Philippine Australian Football League was formed in 2004 and is based in Manila.

Hi Ruky. Welcome back to AFL. We missed your smile. 😀Most people say Aussie rules is a mash-up of lots of sports, but it predates them all. The oldest football club in the world is Melbourne FC. It was founded in 1858 after the rules were codified, so this game predates soccer, basketball and the current versions of Rugby. The game is fast, tough, and spectacular to watch. Footy is only played professionally Downunder, but there are lots of amateur teams in other countries. Imagine if this game was introduced as an Olympic sport. Our team would crush all-commers. We'd have a zillion gold medals!! LOL. Cheers from Aus.

AFL footy is based on Keeping's Off and the rules are designed to allow all body types to participate. Players can move the ball via a kick or handball (hold the hall in one hand and use the other fist to knock it to a teammate) The ball is mostly kept moving. as being caught in possesion of the ball is a turn over. The only time the ball stops moving is for a Free Kick (failure to move the ball on correctly), a Mark (to catch a kicked ball) when players are given 8 seconds to move the ball on... or a Ball-Up (stalemate when the ball is trapped in dispute) when the umpire throws the ball into the air to resume play.
Teams try to create a miss-match advantage using size, speed, strength, changing team set up based on opponent and weather.
Players will converge on the ball to gain possession, then spread out to provide a target when they gain possession.
Strategies used are : man on man or zone defense : Screens and blocks to free up forwards : Fast break or controlled possession : of any combination switching constantly.
Though many players have some special talent, marking (catching the ball), kicking etc. they all need to be multi-skilled and super fit to run hard all game.
As noted : Unlike most sports that try to maintain possession of the ball at all costs... AFL footy is based on Keeping's Off Therefore caught Holding the Ball is a turnover.
Contention arises as players will disguise intentionally holding the ball to stop play when outnumbered to prevent an advantage breakaway or to disrupt the momentum.
Players are extremely skilled at doing this, so the umpire has to make a judgement call on not just the actions, but on situational awareness.
Any attempt to slow play is not allowed. Often in a close finish the umpires will put the whistle away and let the players fight for possession to keep the ball alive.
Then the umpire will award a soft free kick to break up congestion to keep the ball moving.
This makes it very difficult for newbies to understand the flexible rules. This is referred to as The Spirit of the Game ie: Play the ball, not the man, not the clock.
Keep watching... it comes with understanding the moment in the game
Thanks for the entertaining reaction

So true that's why it's so exciting I think because it's the best parts of all of the other major sports.😎👌

[ImagineMySurprise]

As this game actually predates those other sports, it's fair to say that they resemble this in some ways, not the other way around.

We jokingly refer to it in the state of NSW as aerial ping pong because we don't really play it here. We do have AFL teams but it's only really played in border regions with Victoria other than the 2 Sydney AFL teams of course. The vast majority of players come from Victoria

AFL season starts March 16…..I’m sure you might be able to live stream a game depending on the time difference between Australia and the Phillipines.

Nice reaction. You seem to have a South African accent, which is very unusual for a Filipina. Salamat Po. I've visited your country around a dozen times. I'm still crap at tagalog. :( Almost everyone I met there is comfortable with English. Usually with an American accent.

There are around 50 USAFL teams in the USA,

[debkendall]

AFL was codefied before any other - its been played since about 1860.

Have a look at AFL Women's on youtube for more vids on the ladies game

The AFL also released a video titled "What is AFL: Aussie Rules Explained". Check it out.

Men, women and kids all play . This dominates all other sport in Australia. It was first codified I'm 1859, yes it's an old game . This pre-dates all other football codes . That's right soccer, rugby and NFL all were codified after our GREAT GAME . Edit - people from all the continents ( except Antarctica) have played at elite level . It's an inclusive sport.

You can play it yourself in America. Search for the, “USAFL.” They have 40 different leagues, “including a women’s league.”
Because it’s amateur, it is nowhere near as brutal as our professional game. It’s more a social game with beers and barbecue afterwards.
Next season starting in March you can find broadcasts of our games. I’m told it’s available on a fox soccer channel. It’s also played as amateur in the UK, Thailand, and many other places.

Yes it has lots of sports combined but we started it. Invented in 1858, it was codified, (meaning it was played in an organised competition.) before any of the other sports.

Those 100, 000 fans are one big happy family which includes children. We don’t have problems with violence like some overseas sports. Only the odd idiot because everyone’s there to enjoy the game. Different supporters are all grouped together, there is no segregation of different fans.

Aussie rules is the glue that holds our society together and is virtually a religion.
Cheers for liking the greatest gamer on the planet.
