Football - Australian Rules

There are 18 players from each team on the field at once in Australian Rules Football. This makes a total of 36 players on the field during a game.

1 goal is worth 6 points. So 10 goals is worth 60 points.

They have only ever won one: 1954.

I think they may have beaten Melbourne that year in the Grand Final. In those days it was the VFL competition, and "the Bulldogs" was Footscray Football Club.

You have to wait for the announcement of another series and then send in an application form to the broadcaster. It is a very careful selection process and a lot of people apply but you can't be selected if you don't enter! No new series have been announced yet - you will have to wait until 2009 to see whether they will make any more.

WEST COAST EAGLES joined the AFL in AUGUST 1986, and commenced playing in the expanded competition the next season - 1987.

If you mean how many does an NFL team have? They can have 2 or 3 players at any position.

Most teams have 3 QBs, 3 RBs, ect.

WR, most teams have at least 5.

Jason Riley - 1.18

The Carlton Football Club are the greatest AFL team in the world! Their record of the equal most premierships ever speaks for it's self. Sure in the 70's and 80's thay were a little arrogant, but that's what we love!

GO BLUES!

The game goes for 1hour and 20 min consisting of 4 quarters

However, if wanting to know the duration of watching a match, it also has 32 minutes of break time in between quarters, and has 'time on' for each quarter in which game stoppage (for such things as injuries, the ball going out of bounds, etc.) is added to game time. Quarters therefore average closer to 30 min and the game from start to finish will usually take about 2 hours and 30 min.

Denis Towers (Victoria); and Stephen Menzies (Tasmania)

AFL football has gone through many different changes and fashions over its quite long history. Among those, in many of its past decades, especially during the long period of kick-to-position and high mark football - that is, for at least the 70 years prior to about 1980, the impromptu, competitive, end-to-end football game was very keenly entered into by enthusiastic young footballers at any moment of the day - on daily basis.

In fact, it would be no exaggeration to say that it was far more popular as a competitive game than the real AFL game itself - 'Aussie rules football'. Every possible opportunity or 'excuse' was resorted to by young people in particular, to engage this activity. So popular was it in fact, that every possible moment available was resorted to this end - just to 'have a kick' - the end-to-end game.

The end to end game usually comprised 2 packs, where people competed, as individuals, for possession of a ball having been kicked in the group's direction from someone in the other pack- the players in each pack impartially kicking the ball back and forth between the 2 groups, each competitor applying the same rules in competing for the ball as in the formal AFL Aussie Rules football game itself. The significant difference being that once the possession of the ball was won, the person winning the ball was then free to kick it without interference to the pack at the other end.

So, the sole point of the activity for each individual was to win the ball for himself. His reward? ... that he 'got' to kick the football unimpeded to the group at the other end!

Despite its informal, impromptu nature, because of its ready accessibility, and therefore an almost daily engagement by the keen, the game also had its own sensational, outstanding and brilliant exponents.

As an experienced physical educator working in many varied organizations, both - professionally and non-professionally and living through this post-War period, I gained experience in nearly every state in Australia and had opportunity to engage and gauge many of the very best of players.

The best exponent I ever witnessed of end-to-end or kick-to-kick Australian footy was Denis Towers, of Melbourne Victoria. He was virtually unbeatable. Denis Towers' feats became the stuff of legend in his day wherever he went, even interstate, even from a young age. He was a true champion. He projected an almost miraculous style of play, regularly achieving what seemed 'impossible' - coming from apparently impossible positions on the ball. Also being tireless and comparatively tall, he could virtually do it all - whether in the air or on the ground, he was equally 'at home'. So dominant was he, in fact that virtually all other players competing at his end would gradually gravitate to the other end in order to get a kick! ... so that there would be something like 15 to 20 players at one end, all competing with one another for the ball, and virtually only Denis Towers at the other end! Even on occasions where two balls were introduced into the fray, he was still able to monopolize both balls.

Another popular and tirelessly brilliant exponent of this type of football was Stephen Menzies, from Tasmania. Though shorter than Towers, he was also, nevertheless, able to dominate play with a spirit of fearlessness, total involvement, fitness and commitment to the activity.

Coupled with intelligent approach to the ball and intelligent use of body, both of these players exhibited this same type of spirited, bodily commitment and total involvement of soul which allowed them absolute domination of the game in their respective times and places.

The maximum weight of a football is approximately 16 ounces.

Collingwood has made the most Grand finals, but has lost more than its fair share. The others are:

Carlton

Essendon

Hawthorn

During the 1950's and 1960's, Norm Smith coached the Melbourne Football Club to 6 Premierships over 11 seasons, with 11 consecutive finals appearances! Those were the days when only 4 teams made the finals.

None other has even approached that kind of record.

The AFL grandfinal used to always played on the last Saturday in September. This has now been changed effective for the 2011 premiership season. It will now be played on the first Saturday of October. This is due to the inclusion of the Gold Coast Suns.

1897 - the VFL's very first season, did not include a Grand Final. Instead, a round robin series was played, with Essendon becoming the first VFL premiers and Geelong the runner-up.

The game did not become a 'national' competition until 1990. The Premiership in that first national season was won by the Collingwood Magpies.

It could be said, however, that technically, the winner of the 1st AFL premiership was the North Melbourne Under 19's side in 1990. The Under 19's Grand Final match was traditionally played as the first 'curtain raiser' to the seniors match on the same afternoon.

The shape of the field is oval. There is not standard size for the oval however so different venues have different sizes and sometimes slightly different shapes (such as deeper curves at each 'end' of the oval).
