How many players are in an AFL team?

Question

i.e How many are allowed on the field at each time?

Answer 1

18 on the ground for each team,plus 4 on the bench,also each team has a list of 42 to choose from.

Answer 2

sorry Bronwyn you forgot the boundary umpires hahaha :P hows the ball meant to come back in when it goes out???

take it from an expert 18 each team on field which includes 6 forwards, 6 midfielders (which includes the ruckmen) and 6 backmen. a Max of 4 interchange players on the bench in which can com on and off as often as they want to. (no limit like in soccer)

3 field umpires obviously one for each section of the ground with the middle umpire being the centre ump (who is in charge) 2 goal umpires ( one at each end) AND........ 2 boundary umpires on opposite sides of the ground bringing the ball back into play WHEN... then ball doesn't go out on the full ( bounces out)

i could go further with the coaching staff but that's another question

hope that helped :P **not 41 theres 43** on the fielid (not including runners waterboys ect)

Answer 3

theres 22 picked each match per team...18 on the field and 4 on the interchange bench per team

theres 3 umpires and 2 goal umpires

all up at any one time there is 41 people on the field at any one time plus runners

Answer 4

Also when interchanging players on the bench, the game doesn't stop.

A 'runner' who is instructed by the coach goes on to the field and tells a player to take a break. That player must exit over the boundary line in a specified area before the replacement can take the field.
