GAME Games are divided into four quarters of 20 minutes, plus extra time, and teams swap ends after each quarter The primary aim of the game is to score goals by kicking the ball between the middle two posts of the opposing goal

The winner is the team who has the higher total score at the end of the fourth quarter. Except for special circumstances, if the score is ties then a draw is declared


GAME At each end of the field, there are four posts. Two tall posts in the middle (called goal posts), and two shorter posts on either side (called behind posts) The ball must kicked between the posts to score (there’s no crossbar, you can kick it as high as you like).

Kick the ball between the two middle posts and score 6b points. Kick the ball between the large goal post and the smaller “behind” post and score 1 point.


GAME An Aussie Rules scorecard might look something like this: Essendon FC 10.11 (71) defeated Gold Coast FC 6.8 (44) Essendon scored 10 goals (x6) and 11 points (x 1) so the final score is 60 + 11 = 71
