History of Australian Football teams, Rules and news

October 6, 2022 By Live Sports

Australian Football, or as it is more commonly known as “Aussie Rules,” is a rapidly growing sport in the United States. It has been popular in Australia since its inception in 1859 and has been played with an average of 20% of Australian adults participating each year. The game is a rough mix between American football and rugby, but it is a unique set of rules that makes this sport very different from any others.

History of Australian Football

AFL Teams of six players aside, the game is played from a field approximately 60 m in length and 30 m in width, with a goal post at each end. One of the goals is slightly larger than the other, to ensure that the ball goes into the goal. It’s a sport that starts with ”A”

At present, there are 22 team members in the whole field. Aussie Rules started on May 1859 in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

Scoring in Australian Football

The team that gets a goal first wins the game.

In the case of a tied game, the game continues until a goal is scored, and then the team that scores the most goals wins. In the case of a tied game, the two tied goals count as one for each team. The match is declared a draw.

The score is kept on an electronic scoreboard and is presented as a total score.

The score is presented to reflect the number of goals, and the number of behinds with the score in brackets. Let’s see an example here 14.13 defeated Richmond 12.07.

In conclusion

In Australian football, the ball is played by the foot. The goal is scored by kicking the ball over the crossbar. The ball is kicked by the player standing in the center of the ground.
