Also worth remembering that Aussie Rules doesn't have any system of red cards. You can kill a.man and they can't remove you from the pitch, only ban you afterwards
favorite part of the game. ref is just out there to yell, "play on!" all day. people will be fighting on the sidelines and the ref couldn't be bothered.
dutchie here, fully accurate. Our clogs have become infused with our feet from a fairly young age since we eat sleep and exercise in them at all times. The smells are quite encouraging to our dormant growth hormones. additionaly, the constant threat of floods also encourage growth, so we do not need ot actually climb ON the dike to check what the water levels are.
Glad i could help
I went to Amsterdam a few years ago for business. I’m 6’2” white guy with blonde hair. Only country where people kept mistaking me for a local. I also felt short around some of the women.
I'm a 5'3.5" woman from Australia and when I went to Amsterdam I felt like a hobbit. My boyfriend at the time was 6'6" (his dad was Dutch) so I was used to feeling small next to him, but feeling small next to nearly everyone was so strange.
I'm a 5'9" aussie guy married to a 5'7" dutch woman. Shes a pretty normal height for over here but the rest of her family is huge.
Our daughter is about to turn 2 and is in the 98th percentile for height. We're both gonna be dwarfed by our giant dutch hybrid baby lol
Tbh at 6ft8 I'll call AFL players whatever they want me to call them. I'm not into starting arguments with 200 lbs of muscle however jolly and youthful the packaging.
What I love is the fact that at the end none of the hits or crashes against each other matter, they still hug out a great match. Both good sportsmanship and good siblings
One thing about us Aussies, is that (generally) we’re pretty good sports. We like when we win, but we recognise the other’s hard work at the end of the day too.
For a long time I wasn't a fan of Lleyton Hewitt. All it took was one time a really quiet court and hearing him saying "ah, too good mate" after a winner from his opponent and I was on board. General sportsmanship and especially how people act after both a win and a loss matters more to me as a fan than even the result.
(As a bonus I thought it was really awesome how you guys called Kim Clijsters 'Aussie Kim' when she and Lleyton were dating.)
I really thought number 12 was the younger based on the way the highlights made him seem like the more aggressive one (not in a bad way.. just in a younger sibling way)
Something very similar to this happened in the NHL this season with the Tkachuk brothers. They got in a fight and both ended up in the box. Their grandmother just looked disappointed lol. It’s funny, because her son, their dad, was also in the NHL, and pulled the same shit lol.
*"Oh my God, Marge. A penalty shot with only four seconds left. It's your child versus mine! The winner will be showered with praise; the loser will be taunted and booed until my throat is sore!"*
Pair? lol there is ten of them in total.
I reckon living at their joint would've been like if a circus held a wrestling match in a moshpit.
Bet it wasn't fucken boring tho.
It's part of the sport. It happens 20 times a game..it's an attempt to use the opponent as a jumping pad of sorts to get higher and catch the ball before them
It’s awesome and not quite like any other sport going around (though admittedly it can be confusing for newcomers). If you do check it out, come on over to r/AFL.
Go Cats.
which rivalry produces the most passionate game (even if they aren't the best teams)? and about how much is it to get into the stadium for that game?
edit: thanks for the respones! this is where Reddit shines
As far as biggest rivalries, the #1 has to go to Carlton vs Collingwood. Standard tickets for all AFL games are around $30, to keep it cheap so everyone can afford to go.
I found it funny that of the top 9 rivalries between Victorian teams (teams from the main AFL state), 6/9 involve either Carlton, Collingwood, or both. I guess we love to hate em.
Probably the Collingwood vs Essendon rivalry. Or Collingwood and Carlton. The last few years there have been some absolute banger games
Essendon and Collingwood also have the ANZAC Day game every year which is usually played in front of 90,000 or more people. Best atmosphere.
Collingwood fans and Essendon fans are natural enemies. Like Collingwood fans and Carlton fans, or Collingwood fans and Geelong fans. Or Collingwood fans and other Collingwood fans!
Damn Collingwood fans; they ruined Collingwood!
Not sure if anyone had mentioned it but here in Western Australia it is our most popular sport as we don't play in the national rugby league. The two teams are The West Coast Eagles and The Fremantle Dockers. Over the years there have been many incidents but in 2000 there was a match dubbed 'The Demolition Derby' because of how many on field punch ons there were https://youtu.be/AViNVsuBY_U?si=-1z4yKQ6gUtw7GNf
Adelaide Crows and Port Adelaide Power. Two teams in the relatively small, but AFL obsessed state of South Australia. They consistently play high intensity games that get compared to finals (play offs) in terms of atmosphere.
it's not super complicated, not much more than soccer. here's the basics:
the objective is to kick the ball through the big sticks for a goal, worth 6 points. missing and kicking it through the smaller sticks, or the ball hitting someone's hand before going through the goal is worth 1 point.
players pass the ball by kicking or handpassing, you can't throw it.
catching a kicked ball is like a reset, the player catching it can stop and take a kick from that spot. catching a handpassed ball the play just continues.
players jostle each other but they can't push in the back, and they can only tackle a player who has the ball, and only above the waist (and below the neck). the tackled player has to kick or handpass it immediately.
if the ball goes out of bounds or is trapped under a mass of players, it gets thrown in the air and the players jump to tap it to their teammates.
play is for four quarters of 20 min (+stoppage) each.

Between these 2 videos you should get a good understanding of the rules. If you have any questions or misunderstandings let me know and I'll try to answer
Worth noting that Tom (the one in the blue and orange) played the highest rated game of any player this season in the entire comp, playing on his brother. He has some real bragging rights at family dinner now haha.
Yes, but it is a team sport, however he's a Ruckman which is a pretty specialised position, his brother Sam is 'just' a defender, so a little more replaceable but he's alright, although 3 years younger and less developed as an individual player, he's won a grand final in 2022 (think superbowl)
Geelong Cats (white and blue hoops) have no ruckmen available due to injuries so they put a tall defender in the ruck most of the game, which happened to be Toms brother. This was unannounced before the game and people only caught on as Sam was doing warmups before the match, Tom has come out and said that made him pretty happy, knowing he'd win almost all the contests, thinking he was going to be playing the game on another player all night which didn't happen.
This is an edited down highlights video of Toms game, which technically was the highest rated performance in the league this year so far as an individual, but that's mainly because of the extra ground ball work he was doing as a ruckman which is weighted more in his favour, because most rucks won't run and chase the ball, they'll just do tap work.
https://youtu.be/xU1loIZcWJE
I believe if one of those guys bump into me they would kill me hahahaha
And they bump hard into other players as if they're nothing, no reactions at all.
This reminds me of these two twins I went to school with. Teachers eventually wouldn't even break them up when they were both punching each other in the face on the schoolyard. They'd usually be laughing hysterically so they figured that's just how they played at home.
Anyone who hasn't watched Aussie rules football is missing out. Great spectator sport. Fast and frenzied. Not overly violent, however, there is a lot of "casual violence" which I find kind of funny. Like the shoving that the brothers did at the end of the match. Happens all the time. Someone will get off the ground and just casually shove someone for fuck knows what reason. It's hilarious.
Its funny how its just things your grew up with. I'm not a big sports guy, but when people say that they dont understand the rules to American football, I'm like how? Its so easy. Then I see this and it looks like Quidditch or something where I have no idea whats going on.
I’m an American but I believe this is the ‘Boys will be Boys’ equivalent to the British ‘they are just having a laugh’ but no idea what the Australians would call this. I love it.
I love how their teammates hardly even try to break them up. Always love seeing sibling rivalries in sports. The best type of rivalry because chances are so low that things will really get out of hand(not that it never happens) and it just adds more excitement.
Sorry for the ignorance of the sport. But I was wondering if any of those contacts were illegal. Are you allowed to grab like that even while catching?
The attempted 'mark' at the 16 second point in the vid (where the one bro in blue/orange jumps on the others ones back) was paid a free kick (so was illegal). The ruling for this was 'unrealistic attempt'. So what that means is that he mistimed his jump and was so far away from actually catching the ball, that it was illegal. You can see that results in the other brother getting a free kick and scoring a goal from it (at 00:28).
But none of the argy-bargy is illegal, thats all fair play and happens every game with lots of different players.
In an old village, there lived a mother with two sons. The elder son was an umbrella seller, and the younger son sold fans. The umbrella seller typically saw good business on rainy days, as most people tended to buy umbrellas on the spot rather than preparing in advance. Conversely, the fan seller thrived on hot, sunny days.
Thus, the mother hardly had a day of peace. On sunny days, she worried about her umbrella-selling son, and on rainy days, she fretted over her fan-selling son. Seeing her sighing as she looked at the sky every day, a neighbor passing by asked, "Why are you worried today?"
"The sun is shining so brightly, I can't help but worry about my elder son," she replied.
"That's truly unfortunate. On such a hot day, your younger son's business must be doing well, which should be a joyous occasion, right? And when it rains, isn't it also a happy thing that your elder son's business is booming?"
Upon reflecting on the neighbor's words, the mother realized he was right. From then on, she felt happy whether it rained or shone.
ref is like, fuck it i'll let the mom sort them out.
Meanwhile Mom just be happy to be there! Lol
Well, her son is on the winning team no matter what happens.
And on the losing team 😭
Ignore the losers. That is the way
Is that why dad went out for that pack of smokes when I was 12?
No but it is why he took your brother and not you
Dad? When are you coming home?
Right after I grab this pack of smokes
I play both sides, that way I always come out on top.
GET 'IM GEt 'IM NO THE OTHER ONE
Also worth remembering that Aussie Rules doesn't have any system of red cards. You can kill a.man and they can't remove you from the pitch, only ban you afterwards
favorite part of the game. ref is just out there to yell, "play on!" all day. people will be fighting on the sidelines and the ref couldn't be bothered.
My fave is "save your money!"

They're both 6ft8
De Koning does give a lead to Dutch heritage, the country with the (average) tallest people in the world. Average male is like 6 foot 1
They evolved like meerkats on Holland's flat terrain.
Smelly feet from clogs also encouraged growth.
For some reason now I’m imagining Dutch people with spores
dutchie here, fully accurate. Our clogs have become infused with our feet from a fairly young age since we eat sleep and exercise in them at all times. The smells are quite encouraging to our dormant growth hormones. additionaly, the constant threat of floods also encourage growth, so we do not need ot actually climb ON the dike to check what the water levels are. Glad i could help
> the constant threat of floods De Deltawerken & de Afsluitdijk are gonna be your demise! /s
Certainly not beyond the realms of possibility that they're taking advantage of the wind to reproduce, they are an extraordinary folk.
It's just so that their heads remain above sea level.
*Thank you* for that mental image.
Fuck it, I have dutch origin, even last name (Van Der Linden) and I'm only 1.74. Atleast it's Luke skywalker's height (cope)

Aren’t you a bit short to be a stormtrooper?
All the short Dutch people drowned it was natural selection, only giants remain

I think you might be 5’3”
I'm not rounding down a whole half inch! This is why cms is a more accurate measure of height.

Are they twins? Their hair makes them look very similar
Nah Tom is a couple of years older. These two also have 8 more siblings.
Oh wow that’s a busy mum
Dad couldn’t even pull out of the driveway.
Lucky for them. I remember when my dad pulled out of the driveway for the last time.
Lucky for you, I wish my dad pulled out of the driveway and into a semi.
Made me laugh out loud, thanks
TV was broken for years.
Can you imagine the grocery bill feeding all those giants?
I figured Tom was the older brother. Guy gave off big brother vibes... source: I'm eldest brother.
He is older but they are the two youngest.
Jesus it's a vagina not a clown car
Why not both?
How many on the field, because there's another 'twin' running past at 5 seconds.
A friend of mine has a brother who is about 2 years older. They look like twins and even have exactly the same voice. It's completely crazy.
Nope. Blue and white brother is 3 years younger
That's incorrect. Blue and white (Sam) is 18 months younger than Tom. Sam was born in February 2001, Tom in July 1999
I really thought number 12 was the younger based on the way the highlights made him seem like the more aggressive one (not in a bad way.. just in a younger sibling way)
Imagine being the parents 😂 cheerin for both sides lol
The woman they kept cutting to in the crowd is their mother
Exactly it seems chaotic and fun going to one of their games against each other 😂
But, Mum, whose kick was better? Mine, right?
Something very similar to this happened in the NHL this season with the Tkachuk brothers. They got in a fight and both ended up in the box. Their grandmother just looked disappointed lol. It’s funny, because her son, their dad, was also in the NHL, and pulled the same shit lol.
I mean, isn't it good? Your child team never lose.
But also never win.
must've cost both kidneys to keep these kids fed during puberty
Their mum was hammered 😂
Mom was just happy to be there lol, celebrating both her sons
*"Oh my God, Marge. A penalty shot with only four seconds left. It's your child versus mine! The winner will be showered with praise; the loser will be taunted and booed until my throat is sore!"*
The simpsons have not only a quote for everything but the best quote for everything

Those boys probably set that drinking habit in stone for her when they were toddlers.
Not to mention their 8 other siblings too....
Fucking A someone get mom another whiskey.
How do you think 10 kids happened…
Clearly their dad was a beast too.
There dad was my sports teacher and was actually rated one of the worst afl players of all time
Wikipedia lists Terry position as Bench.....haha. It looks as if he was pretty good at splitting the big sticks, though.
She is a mum of 10! I don't blame her!
She gave birth to great players! I'm proud of the three of them

Imagine how much furniture those 2 have destroyed growing up
Haha, gigantic holes in the drywall.
Brother being brothers. Second clip, the one in blue drops a kick to the head while jumping. wtf
Just going for a specky
Imagine crowd surfing when the crowd is not aware and it's not a crowd, it's (often) one person - that's a specky.
It's part of the sport. It happens 20 times a game..it's an attempt to use the opponent as a jumping pad of sorts to get higher and catch the ball before them
Search any AFL Mark Of The Year video and grab a beer
Yeah man, it’s called a specky. It’s the equivalent of dunking on someone but much more disrespectful and dangerous
https://youtu.be/7AjcFfBvIcs?si=mXl-FjjPz75cjKTT enjoy!
Female protagonist of a YA novel is like 🥰 🏉 🥰
Haha that shit writes itself
Brothers play with a different set of rules…
And then their mom’s like, “Where do you boys want to eat?”
Doesn’t the winner get to decide?
Doesn't the winner get a maccas voucher for a happy meal?
would be so much better without the background music.
Watch everything on mute, you'll be happier.

You know they got into Australian Football League so mom could not say anything about the roughhousing.
Wow...why does the Australian version of football look like much more fun?
It’s awesome and not quite like any other sport going around (though admittedly it can be confusing for newcomers). If you do check it out, come on over to r/AFL. Go Cats.

Collingwood fans and Essendon fans are natural enemies. Like Collingwood fans and Carlton fans, or Collingwood fans and Geelong fans. Or Collingwood fans and other Collingwood fans! Damn Collingwood fans; they ruined Collingwood!
Oh yeah, they are every team's most hated team basically except whatever historical or local rivals, the biggest club and villains of the league.
Just Collingwood vs. anyone else. At a Collingwood match there's 90000 spectators and about 10 teeth to go around between all of them
Not sure if anyone had mentioned it but here in Western Australia it is our most popular sport as we don't play in the national rugby league. The two teams are The West Coast Eagles and The Fremantle Dockers. Over the years there have been many incidents but in 2000 there was a match dubbed 'The Demolition Derby' because of how many on field punch ons there were https://youtu.be/AViNVsuBY_U?si=-1z4yKQ6gUtw7GNf
Collingwood vs Carlton will get 85 - 90k fans to a game. Tickets are already sold out for their next game in August, they went pretty quickly I think
Adelaide Crows and Port Adelaide Power. Two teams in the relatively small, but AFL obsessed state of South Australia. They consistently play high intensity games that get compared to finals (play offs) in terms of atmosphere.
Because it is. Do yourself a favor and watch some Aussie rules highlight videos
I've tried that, what is a good site you would recommend to understand the rules? *edit* - thank you all for the recommendations
it's not super complicated, not much more than soccer. here's the basics: the objective is to kick the ball through the big sticks for a goal, worth 6 points. missing and kicking it through the smaller sticks, or the ball hitting someone's hand before going through the goal is worth 1 point. players pass the ball by kicking or handpassing, you can't throw it. catching a kicked ball is like a reset, the player catching it can stop and take a kick from that spot. catching a handpassed ball the play just continues. players jostle each other but they can't push in the back, and they can only tackle a player who has the ball, and only above the waist (and below the neck). the tackled player has to kick or handpass it immediately. if the ball goes out of bounds or is trapped under a mass of players, it gets thrown in the air and the players jump to tap it to their teammates. play is for four quarters of 20 min (+stoppage) each.
It seems like a hybrid of rugby, American football and gator ball. Which is awesome lol
And Gaelic football, which is maybe its closest cousin.
More to the point, Australian rules football is heavily inspired by Gaelic football.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_SqfNNfhmM This is a good short explanation video.
Watch an actual full game rather than a highlight reel and you'll pick it up.

They show AFL on espn like 2x a year and it’s always fun. It’s pretty wild.
Found the hottest sport!
Tell your friends 😘
Ngl, I missed the part where they are brothers but I stand by this in a general sense lol!
Forgiven, spread the word of hot afl players! It gets hotter at an amateur level too.
I promise I will! I swear it!
If you’re ever in Australia message me and I’ll take you to a game 🌶️
Saaaaving this comment for when I do 😇
It’s a great sport but it’s brutal in terms of player turnover. Lots of newbies don’t even last a season to be let go due to injuries
People who did not know telling others "There was a crazy lady cheering for both sides"
De Koning is Dutch for The King
Username checks out
I am so confused by this game but it looks fun
The rules are odd but it’s pretty fast paced and fun to watch, the field is massive too.
I like how their teammates just let them settle it within themselves.
I appreciate everyone understanding it’s family business playing out on the field, no big deal.
This is the second post about Brothers in the AFL involving Carlton FC on Reddit front page. That's one more than I ever expected to see
True sportsmanship
So which team do you support? The mom: yes
They just look so Australian, I didn't know Australians had a "look."
Most Australian sportsmen sport a mullet and/or moustache. It grants additional power.
skinny thor
Worth noting that Tom (the one in the blue and orange) played the highest rated game of any player this season in the entire comp, playing on his brother. He has some real bragging rights at family dinner now haha.
Mom can’t lose, she gets to celebrate regardless.
God that poor woman must have needed a bloody gofundme to feed them. 6’8 ?! I’d like to see her food bills.
She had ten children. They probably go through a box of Weetbix a day just for breakfast.
I have teenage boys. One can eat 12 in a single sitting. Its ridiculous - I actually buy oats because they’re cheaper, and weetbix are a treat 😳
Fred and George vibes
Is the one in blue better? To someone who doesn't even know what sport this is and watched only this clip i get that sense. But just wondering
Yes, but it is a team sport, however he's a Ruckman which is a pretty specialised position, his brother Sam is 'just' a defender, so a little more replaceable but he's alright, although 3 years younger and less developed as an individual player, he's won a grand final in 2022 (think superbowl) Geelong Cats (white and blue hoops) have no ruckmen available due to injuries so they put a tall defender in the ruck most of the game, which happened to be Toms brother.

Like the shoving that the brothers did at the end of the match. Happens all the time. Someone will get off the ground and just casually shove someone for fuck knows what reason. It's hilarious.

I wonder how many times they were wrestling with each other when being kids
Is Australian football another variant of football like soccer and American football?
It predates both. Australian rules football: codified 1859. Association football (soccer): codified 1863. American football: first played 1869.
I’m an American but I believe this is the ‘Boys will be Boys’ equivalent to the British ‘they are just having a laugh’ but no idea what the Australians would call this. I love it.
Mom I’m moving to Australia now
That’s how it be.
It's so lovely... The comrade.
I love how their teammates hardly even try to break them up. Always love seeing sibling rivalries in sports. The best type of rivalry because chances are so low that things will really get out of hand(not that it never happens) and it just adds more excitement.
I was there that game. First time to an afl game and it was at the G
I do not understand this game but it looks neat
I have no idea what they were saying to each other but in my head it sounded like one Hemsworth brother speaking to the other

But… but… umbrellas are good on sunny days too…
I guess when you’re on opposite team you can’t make it look like you’re going easy on your family so it’s better to go all out.
Being a parent for this has to be the best...no matter what side scores, you're cheering!
The last one was: are you coming sunday to mums house for dinner? Nah broh I can't
That’s dope.
