Nice video, enjoyed it a lot. You touched on Fitzroy in the 1916 season winning the flag in a league of just four teams. Fitzroy have the unique honour of winning the wooden spoon and premiership in the same year. At the end of the home and away rounds they finished bottom of the ladder, but due to just four teams being in the league they made the finals and then suddenly found form. So they finished both last and first in the same year!

Wills actually did not actually take much inspiration from the the indigenous game Marn Grook however he may have known of its existence. He actually took the inspiration from an early version of Rugby which was a popular football code in England for which he had attended a Rugby school in England for part of his early life. Tom Wills actually wanted to bring this sport to the new colony of Australia but with his own version of the code. You can see by the early code of the sport written in 1858 how it drew a lot of similarities and had a chance to become pretty much another code of Rugby had it not been for the intervention of other members of the MCC at the time. For example, the members discussed the addition of having to kick the ball up into your hands as opposed to picking it from the floor with your hands, this was a big rule in the old Rugby code at the time and Tom Wills was for its addition, however it was never passed. But, in some ways Australian football may taken some inspiration from Marn Grook but it's not really known how much as there aren't a lot of records about Tom Wills playing or seeing the Sport. If anyone cares I know all this from an excellent historical book Australia's game.

The VFL wasn't created a week later than the SANFL as stated in this video... it was created 20 years later. The entire history of the VFA, including the split that formed the VFL, was completely glossed over. Twelve out of thirteen Victorian clubs (incl Fitzroy and South Melbourne; excl University) were formerly part of the VFA. It's such a shame that the VFA, as one of the top leagues in the country for many decades and with 120 years of independent history from the VFL/AFL, gets completely written out of history by so many, as if its crucial role in the formation of Australian rules football in the 19th century and its enduring strength and popularity throughout the 20th century never happened.

In his exhaustive research of the first four decades of Australian rules football, historian Mark Pennings "could not find evidence that those who wrote the first rules were influenced by the Indigenous game of Marngrook".[31] Melbourne Cricket Club researcher Trevor Ruddell wrote in 2013 that Marn Grook "has no causal link with, nor any documented influence upon, the early development of Australian football."[ from wiki

Nice video dude 👍the only thing I would say is I would have liked a better explanation of the VFA/VFL as it is something alot of people (mainly non-Victorians) struggle to understand. The VFA is a completely different league to the VFL/now AFL. The AFL took the VFA over and rebranded it.

Well the reason Scotch and Melbourne chose their umpires is because they turned up thinking they were playing different games: 1 thought they playing Rugby and the other the Eaton field game (seriously search this game on you tube it’ll look strangely familiar) Wills may have been involved in the organisation of the game e but the fact he wrote the rules AFTER the game should be flashing red light that the Mangrook theory is utter bollocks. Say the VFL formed and was originally the VFA also just wrong. The VFL was a breakaway competition the VFA existed in name until the end of the 20th century and is essentially the VFL competition that we know and loathe today.

What about how the nature of the game has changed? For a new fan like me, you think the product that you see is the same game played for over 100 years. Your football has the same arc as American football, it used to be an organized street fight where hitting someone in the head or face was ok. Some of the older marches I watch, it looked like the players want to Inflict pain on the other team rather than win the game. Older players have head trama and CTE. I have to admit though the new game is exciting, the old street fight was sometimes hard to watch as the players bloodied themselves on a what appeared to be a grade school footy ground.

Some nitpicking, minor errors at the beginning: 0:07 - not the 'national sport.' 0:24 - Wills AND OTHERS invented Australian football to play football, not in order to keep cricketers fit. This is one of a few origin myths running around. 0:27 - Wills played rugby and soccer in their formative years in England, and brought aspects of those games AS WELL AS Marn Grook. There was NO tackling in Marn Grook so it couldn't be the sole source.

@@petertrezise4545 This isn't quite right. This date is when the seperate administrations set up. Prior to that, football clubs would agree on what rules they'd be playing, but it was basically do you feel like playing soccer or rugby today, with the home side having most of the say, and the weather the rest. Muddy pitch, rugby. Best player struggling with shoulder injury? Best play the association rules. It's not like the two sports were born when they were officially separated. Australian football played with separate rules for running without a bounce for years before it was made part of the rules in 1866.
