If it hits the ground the players nearest to the ball usually try to pick it up & pass it a team-mate nearby. If a pack forms where no single player is clearly in control of the ball then the umpire stops play a bounces the ball (a ball up).

It seems easier to understand than Rugby...however, what happens when the ball hits the ground and no one "marks" it?
What happen if someone is running with it and drop it and lose it when bouncing it?

this is my first time viewing the sport, and i must say it looks very very fun, too bad there aren't enough people in america who know how to play, otherwise i'd be able to try it.

Not only that, but South Africans, Australians, New Zealanders, and Gaelic football fans in Ireland all call it "soccer"...and I'm a bit more aversive towards arguing with any of them than your average Pom. :-P

If you pause the video 11 seconds in you will see the positions marked on the playing field diagram. However as there is no "offside" it isn't uncommon for a player whose normal position is in defense to move down into the forward line & kick a goal. Ultimately a player in AFL is more responsible for his direct opponent rather than a position on the field. |
