 All right everybody, what is going on? Welcome back to another video. Today's video we're going to be looking at the best of Gridiron Australia. This is the Australian governing body of American football Unfortunately as far as I'm aware Northern Territory, the state that I live in is the only state of all eight that doesn't have a Gridiron Australia team or Competition or anything. There's nothing here in the Northern Territory. My best shot of playing American football in Australia, which is probably what I will do Is to move somewhere or possibly you know be a walk-on for maybe two or three weeks I'm thinking I'm thinking of you know, hopefully if I watch if I watch this I've never seen this before if I watch this and I can see myself playing and being successful at the highest level in Australia. I will take a month off work Travel to a place where I can I can go down to training. I can have a run see how I go Hopefully it'll be recorded so I can put the footage on my channel and show you guys That's what I'm imagining. All right, I'm imagining getting in contact with a coach in Australia who wants to have me Not stay with them. I can stay at my own hotel but have me down at training for a couple of weeks possibly give me a game or opportunity to play in a game get it get it filmed so I can put it on my channel and See what happens. I mean that that really fucking excites me man. I just I cannot wait to do that So I've just got to basically choose a state But first of all I'm gonna have to watch this because I've never played guys I've never even run around with the fucking helmet on so for me to say that that kind of thing is kind of it's naive All right, so I don't really know what it's like. It's probably gonna be a whole lot harder than what I think So so with all that being said, you know, let's watch the best players in Australia. This is gonna be real interesting The ones that haven't gone to college the ones that play in Australia I don't know what the average age is probably a lot a lot younger than me But it's gonna be really interesting. So Without further ado Let's get into it Now I must say I've watched one video Also, I'm sorry. I've watched like a couple of minutes of the effectively. It's the state of origin of Gridiron in Australia, which state of origin is a is it? It's a three-game series that's played between New South Wales and Queensland and rugby league in Australia It's huge up until about five years ago Anything was allowed in the game in like big hits, you know punches anything, you know If two people got in a Confrontation the ref would literally stand back and just let them go for it because that was state of origin That's what it was about. But now it's you know, it's it's got a little bit More tame and I don't blame it because no one can go around fucking punching people right in the head Without being you know charged for that shit. That's bullshit. No one should have to deal with that Unless the two players want to do it in which case it's fine. So anyways Australian Gridiron So it should come up There we go South Australia versus New South Wales is what I watched. So we're gonna try and find Australia versus South Korea 15 minutes long USA versus Japan Queensland versus New South Wales Australia versus Brazil. Oh my god This is gonna be great. All right, Australia versus South Korea game one. Please watch this man. I cannot wait to fucking watch this Why is there why is there a song? Why have you got a stupid song in the background? Seriously, who's that? Aussie gridiron star set for NFL draft American football really gets a look in much like Hurley, but if one young Australian man gets his way I Know that's about 500 pound bench press What's his name? Jesse Williams. Sorry guys. I'm just I'm going off a little bit off track here, but I Want to see if this guy made it NFL There he is Did he play? Is he playing right now? I fucking want a Super Bowl. You're kidding me Played the Seahawks for three years six foot four 150 kilos three hundred and thirty four pounds. That's fucking ridiculous. Oh My god, so he's an Australian for my American football defensive tackle play college football for Alabama Whereas his starter on the defensive line for the 2011 and 2012 national championship teams So that's why it was chosen. He was chosen in the fifth round of the 2013 draft Although he has spent the majority of his team on the injured reserve list He became the first Australian to win a Super Bowl ring as a member of Seattle's 2013 team No way Williams was originally recruited by University of Hawaii Coaches and offered a scholarship to play for the Hawaii Warriors football team after a Warriors scout Saw him play during the Australian national championships There you go, so I could possibly you know played well For a state team in Australia get noticed and then get an opportunity to play for for a college Effectively, but I'm 27 However, oh sorry, however the NCA a clearing house said he was missing Said he was missing a maths and English class and would not be able to enroll for the night 2009 season You later chose to enroll at Arizona Western College after coaches saw him play an exhibition against New Zealand While they were teaching at a football clinic He started all 13 games of the 2011 season 24 tackles and half of a quarterback sack He made the AP all SEC second team Wow Fucking hell this guy One of Super Bowl That quarterback got smashed The second and third rounds another five six hours and on Saturday, we'll finish it off with rounds four through seven Terrific, and what do you expect that the outcome for Jesse will be? Who do you end up with I have no idea You know you do you put all the work in you do all the testing the interviews the medicals like Jesse has done And you hope for the best, you know, I'm looking for for a good draft for Jesse He brings a lot to the table that American is this guy an agent The NFL is is a very very sophisticated very a multi-billion-dollar business Scouts have been looking at Jesse literally since he's come off the plane at 18 years old from Australia They've watched him grow up from junior college in Arizona to the you know the preeminent University school in our country for football University of Alabama They watched him win the national championship I mean they've watched him closely and they know everything there is to know about it. Yeah terrific Coach Jesse for a very long time You know, what did you see in him from a young age of magic? Nice block No one's stopping that guy fucking hell he's huge all right guys I'm sorry. I just had to watch that. So let's look at Geez Okay, let's watch this meet the players on Australia's growing gridiron scene We're gonna stop it after this one and then the next video I'm gonna look at some highlights of the of the Australian team playing or possibly a state a state game All right, this game Well, this this video is gonna be about that guy Jesse Williams And it's gonna be about Australia's growing gridiron scene because I'm very very interested Very interested Girls team I Think is the ultimate team sport love the contact love the fast-paced strategy. It's just fun Yeah, boy They came to one training session and it was just instant from love of the sport I 18 Just huge Didn't really talk to anyone I wouldn't lash out in public. I'd lash out at home Comparatively like dark place. I started playing gridiron. I've got an army and I Don't know what it was. I just felt invincible like I could do anything One session. I was loving it when I saw him. Oh, that's one play. He was doing the hit-hit and And they go to collide and he just pushed these two guys backwards. I just said to David So, yeah, it was very excited I woke up in the morning and think you know what? I may not be that skinny guy That's you know, that's super sweet. I left off guy But I can do my job better than anyone else my team can So my job is to make sure that no one gets past my position because if you did you'll get straight to quarterback Fortress ball and blow up the entire time Go running back Offense to aim is to score a touchdown, which is six points to get to the other end of the field You have ten yards you get four plays per ten yards. You don't make the ten yards Then it's a turn over. It's a bit scary to see them play the noises from the field and the padding colliding It's a little bit scary Look the technology of the helmets come a long way We're adopting some of the principles that rugby union players use to keep the head out of the tackle And it's going really well Cultures different from rugby. I played rugby all my life as well, but yeah, it's about a it's about working together as one team Guys, I'm not gonna be given any reaction to this video. I'm I'm I'm literally I'm glued to this stuff right now This is where I want to be. I want to be at the top of the Australian gridiron scene shit man They plan on a rugby field who's this I'm smart the harassing playing in the first-ever woman's outback national team for Australia I've been playing gridiron for about three years now when I'm on the field I just turn into a really fiery person I just like the challenge of being able to challenge other girls and try and knock them I Got a lot of funny reactions from family and friends. They'd second-guess me playing football You know that their reaction is like oh, hang on. You know, you're a woman playing football What's the female football scene like in America, let me know guys Obviously tough sport in the man's foot Yeah, off the field Sam's totally different to what she's on the field You see guys and she's very fiery Who is that boyfriend? First time down. I was like, oh, do not want to expect Feel Sam's totally different to what she's on the field Obviously seeing guys and she's very fiery You know, she's the most gentle and harmless person. So, you know, it's totally opposite actually my first-ever experience I play for LFL which is a group of ladies who play football in their laundry What? Oh my god Just to basically improve to people that women can play football Just to you know, just show off their bodies or They're there to show off their skills and that they actually can hit and then they can play football When I got the email that I made the Australian team. I was so honored I Look at it as an opportunity in the lifetime One of my biggest dreams to reach would be how to go to college in America and play in a duke Give the world just to be part of that He's done so well. I think it's the first book you ever get on the state side Being able to play at a state level. I thought I'd never make it. It was been a bloke, but Being able to actually, you know, say that when I'm older, you know, oh, yeah I may have to stay team back in the day. It was just one of the greatest feelings in the world I wouldn't I'll never forget that feeling Yeah He's turned out all right. Yes, he has all right guys That was cool Don't know what I'm gonna call this video once again, but I've had some fun If you have liked it, please press like if you want to see more, please subscribe And I'll see you guys back here very shortly to see my first ever Look at the Australian gridiron team It's taken a while for me to get here guys But this is what I want to achieve.
