| Australian Rules Football explained - 598 sec This video is a brief explanation of the rules of Australian Rules Football or Aussie Rules as it is commonly called.
Due to the time constraints of YouTube I have only covered the major rules, however this should be enough to help you follow the game. You may need to pause the video occasionally to read the text.
I have also added numerous short videos to further illustrate aspects of the game that can be accessed in the video responses to this video.
One aspect I overlooked is the punch. This is a defensive technique often used in a marking contest by a player who is out of position in relation to his direct opponent. For example if a player is caught behind his opponent as the ball is coming towards them and it is clear the player in front will mark the ball, the player caught behind will try and punch the ball away to prevent the mark. Care needs to be taken to avoid high contact.
The game is played at a fast pace with players playing on at every available opportunity. This means that extremely high levels of fitness and strength are required with players regularly running 20km or more each game. Imagine running twenty 100 metre sprints over a two hour period while simultaneously trying to catch and control an oval ball while fending off attacks from 18 other players and you will begin to understand what is required of an Aussie Rules Footballer.
History:
Aussie Rules is the world's oldest football code being codified in Melbourne Australia in 1858 and was partly inspired by the aboriginal kicking/catching game called Marn Grook. This means the games origins are potentially tens of thousands of years old. The Melbourne Football Club is the worlds oldest being formed in 1859. The first night game was played in 1879.
Year first codified:
AUSTRALIAN FOOTBALL: 1858
ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL (SOCCER): 1863
RUGBY UNION: 1871
AMERICAN FOOTBALL: 1876
GAELIC FOOTBALL: 1885
RUGBY LEAGUE: 1895
Just remember: Aussie Rules is not a religion, it is far more important than that.
UPDATE: Fraser Gehrig (the 'G-Train') received a one week suspension for punching an opponent based on the video evidence.

| Australian Crawl - Boys Light Up (1981) - 276 sec Music from Australia and New Zealand in the year 1981:
Australian Crawl performing on Countdown the hit single 'Boys Light Up' taken from the 1980 album 'Boys Light Up'.
This single was originally banned from being performed on Countdown and played on national radio due to the lyrical content of the song. However, the song eventually gotten mainstream exposure, thus becoming one of the most played songs on Australian commercial radio.
Lyrics:
I wanna tell you about my mountain home
Where all the ladies names are Joan
Where husbands works back late at night
He's hopes are up for his trousers down
With hostess on a business flight
Taxi in a Mercedes drive
I hope that driver's coming out alive
The garden is a dorsetted
That lady - she's so corseted
She's got 15 ways to lead that boy astray
He thinks he's one and only
But that lovely she's so lonely
She pumps him full of breakfast and
she sends him on his way
What a sing song dance
What a performance
What a cheap tent show
Oh no no no no no
CHORUS
Then the boys light up
Then the boys light up X2
Then the boys light up
Then the boys light up - light up - light up
Silently she opens the drawer
Mothers litte helper is coming out for more
Strategically positioned before the midday show
Her back is arched, those lips are parched
Repeated blow by blow
And later at the party where all the MPs rave
About the hummers she's been giving and the money that they save
To her it is skin lotion
For his promotion too
That flat in Surfers Paradise with the ocean view
What a sing song dance
What a performance
What a cheap tent show
Oh no no no no no
CHORUS

| Australian in Palestine account of children suicide bombers - 391 sec Daryl Jones is an australian volunteer aid worker duped by Palestinian propaganda propaganda to come to their aid but later realized that they were engaged in a bloodlust game to destroy the lives of children.
She recounts how Palestinians displayed photos of bodies, "gouged and pitted, torn. We were told this is from torture from the Israelis." Later, when she saw a Palestinian child blow up in front of her face, she realized that the ripped apart bodies were the result of human booby traps that the Palestinians used against the Israelis.
She was featured in "The Road to Jenin" film by French director Pierre Rehov.

| Australian Open 2007 - 272 sec Just some pictures I put together. Being the No.1 No.1s fan, I was really disappointed Maria Sharapova didn't win the Slam (instead losing in straight sets, 6-1, 6-2). Fernando 'Gonzo' Gonzalez played an excellent game, giving it his all and making Federer uncomfortable. But eventually Federer went on to win his record 10th Slam (7-6, 6-4, 6-4). The players gave us some really good tennis moments. I love the Australian Open and I'm really going to miss it!
Here's to hoping the two World Number Ones continue to gain great success and a happy retirement to Kim Clijsters. Auteur : sdfdgd Tags:Australian Open Tennis 2007 Grand Slam Maria Sharapova Serena Williams Roger Federer Avril Andy Roddick Kim Clijsters  |
