Question

What are the rules of Australian rules football? (American asking the question)?

Answer 1

two opposing teams try to kick the little ball between the uprights at the opposing ends of the field to score points the team at the end of game time with most points is the winner. oh and it helps if you wear really tight g*y looking pants for the Ladies.

Answer 2

Well there are too many rules to list but the main ones are:

1) you must kick or hand pass the ball to a team mate

2) if you run with the ball you must bounce the ball every 15 meters or you will be penalized

3) if you tackle an opponent it must be below the shoulders and if you get tackled you must release the ball straight away or you get penalized

4) no tripping allowed at all

5) when contesting a mark you are not allowed to grab an opponent by the arms or the jersey otherwise a penalty will be awarded to the other team

6) no kicking the ball out of bounds on the full or the other team recieves the ball from where it went out of bounds

7) points are awarded:6 points for kicking between the 2 large posts & 1 point is awarded for kicking through the outer posts.

Thats all I can come up with at the moment I hope it helps you a little bit more now cause it really is a great game to follow (knowing these rules will help)
