This video is a brief explanation of the rules of Australian Rules Football or Aussie Rules as it is commonly called. Due to the time constraints of YouTube I have only covered the major rules, however this should be enough to help you follow the game. You may need to pause the video occasionally to read the text. I have also added numerous short videos to further illustrate aspects of the game that can be accessed in the video responses to this video.One aspect I overlooked is the punch. This is a defensive technique often used in a marking contest by a player who is out of position in relation to his direct opponent. For example if a player is caught behind his opponent as the ball is coming towards them and it is clear the player in front will mark the ball, the player caught behind will try and punch the ball away to prevent the mark. Care needs to be taken to avoid high contact.The game is played at a fast pace with players playing on at every available opportunity. This means that extremely high levels of fitness and strength are required with players regularly running 20km or more each game. Imagine running twenty 100 metre sprints over a two hour period while simultaneously trying to catch and control an oval ball while fending off attacks from 18 other players and you will begin to understand what is required of an Aussie Rules Footballer.History:Aussie Rules is the world's oldest football code being codified in Melbourne Australia in 1858 and was partly inspired by the aboriginal kicking/catching game called Marn Grook. This means the games origins are potentially tens of thousands of years old. The Melbourne Football Club is the worlds oldest being formed in 1859. The first night game was played in 1879.Year first codified:AUSTRALIAN FOOTBALL: 1858ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL (SOCCER): 1863RUGBY UNION: 1871AMERICAN FOOTBALL: 1876GAELIC FOOTBALL: 1885RUGBY LEAGUE: 1895Just remember: Aussie Rules is not a religion, it is far more important than that.UPDATE: Fraser Gehrig (the 'G-Train') received a one week suspension for punching an opponent based on the video evidence.Links: http://afl.com.au/ http://afl.com.au/Portals/0/af... http://au.sports.yahoo.com/afl... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

Bullshit a player should be out for the same amount of time as the injured player, What solomon did was an accident, its bullshit how he can get 8 weeks for an accident, and barry hall only gets 7 for a king hit, it doesnt matter how badly the opposition player gets hurt what matters is the intention of the player, was it maliscious or an accident??? solomons was an accident, hall king hit someone behind play, weak dog

Dean Solomon just received a 8 match ban for that. Personally I believe if they injure the other player enough that they are out for a few weeks (like Ling will be in this case) then the offending player should be out for the same amount of matches plus the 8 or 10 weeks on top of that. By your comments I take it you never watched Aussie Rules in the 70s or 80s, the game is a lot cleaner now.

Not too long ago someone broke another guys cheekbone through elbowing him. There are often punches thrown and fights are a regularity.Daytime assault can sometimes see as a little as a few games ban.Disgraceful.
