Goal
The aim of Aussie Rules Football is to score as many points as possible against the opposition. This is achieved by propelling the ball between goal posts or keeping the opposing side from scoring. The ball is moved by players using their hands and feet. There are several different rules regarding the way the ball should be moved.
Each half of the Australian Rules football game lasts 10 minutes. Each half also contains a two-minute break. The field umpire flings the football up to begin play. After scoring a super goal of 10 points, the umpire gives the ball back to the field for play. In each half, at least two players from each team must begin within the 15-meter zone in front of each end. The team with the fastest touch of the ball at any time in any half will receive a free kick.
Behind

Ruckman
The Ruckman is a key player in the fast-paced game Aussie Rules Football. He initiates play and challenges the ball. Unlike other forms of Australian football, there is no offside rule, and teams usually kick off the game when their opponent is 'holding the ball'.
Ruckmen are tall, strong players who have strong arms and legs. They are also responsible to win rucks. Because they can take on multiple roles for their team's team, the ruckman also has the title of utility player. They spend 90 percent of their game time on the field.
