 | | Wild Australian Football League Brawl on Video 02:09A WILD brawl at the end of the Alice Springs AFL grand final last weekend has been captured on video. Tags: afl wild australian football league brawl video alice springs traegar park fight Category: Extreme Views: 1,081 Comments: 0 Added: Sep 12, 07 By: trigirl  | |  |  | | Australian Rules Football Explained 09:58This video is a brief explanation of the rules of Australian Rules Football or Aussie Rules as it is commonly called. I have also added numerous short videos to further illustrate aspects of the game more...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. less Tags: afl explained australian aussie rules football footy marn grook oz Category: Sports Views: 253 Comments: 0 Added: May 14, 08 By: collingwoodfcmagpies  | |  |  | | The best of the AFL 2003 season music video) 03:45best goals,marks,bumps, and more the best of 2003 Tags: football afl season footy club football 2003 best of year afl video live lions win 03 music Category: Sports Views: 211 Comments: 0 Added: Mar 22, 07 By: MrVideo91 | |  |  | | Aussie rules post match crowd bundles 00:42After Geelong beat Port 'Power' Adelaide in the AFL exhibition Aussie rules match at The Oval cricket ground on Saturday 21st October 2006 the pitch invading crowd produced alot of balls and had rough more...and tumble! less Tags: sexy aussie rules afl football streaker exhibition cricket balls play fight rough tumble tickle wrestle grapple Category: Sports Views: 152 Comments: 0 Added: Aug 6, 07 By: 1978jamesb | |  |  | | Brisbane Lions v Essendon Bombers 2001 Round 10 01:60* Brisbane Lions coach Leigh Matthews invokes the fighting spirit of Major Alan "Dutch" Schaefer prior to the Lions' clash with reigning premiers, Essendon. * The Lions go on to record the first more...victory of an incredible 20-game winning streak - an unbeaten run which would include the 2001 AFL Grand Final!

It's about jobs. And it's about jobs."
"It's the workers of this country who are going to determine who the president is going to be," the Cleveland Congressman told the cheering crowd. And that next President, he said, must be committed to creating new jobs, making health care available to all Americans, securing workers' rights and pension rights, and improving education for the next generation of American workers.
Introduced as "Ohio's favorite son," Kucinich, the only card-carrying union member in the Democratic field, had the audience on its feet several times. He vowed to cancel the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which has resulted in the out-sourcing of millions of American jobs. He promised a national, not-for-profit health insurance system that would cover all Americans. He pledged that the Justice Department and the Labor Department would enforce workers' rights, especially the right to organize.
His deep and sincere commitment to those issues and his legislative record separate him from the other Democratic candidates, Kucinich said.
"Do you think I could stand up here and talk like this if I was owned by Wall Street," Kucinich asked? "I'm someone who can not be bought. I'm someone who can not be bossed. I'm someone who can not be intimidated."
On health care, he said the other candidates "get too much money from the insurance companies, they can't break the hold." On foreign trade, other candidates are proposing to "fix" trade agreements, instead of scrapping them, and those promises are "weasel-wording" what they really plan to do: "nothing."
In a poignant story taken from his early years as a newspaper copyboy in Cleveland, Kucinich's eyes welled with tears, as did many in the audience, when he told of going to the homes of families to pick up photographs of their children who had died in the war in Vietnam. In vivid, emotional detail, he described their modest, working-class homes "and their hands...rough hands...like they had been working their whole lives...and just barely making it." He used the story to illustrate the personal impact that wars on the other side of the world have on families in Ohio and across the country. The war in Iraq, he said, must be brought to an end and America's service men and women must be brought home as soon as possible.
"You're looking at the only candidate to vote against the war and all of the appropriations" since, Kucinich said.
He added, "Ohio has the chance to be heard and change the election." As an Ohioan, "one of you," Kucinich said, "I'll never forget where I came from."

The pies showed this with a magic first qtr, especially from young Dale Thomas who gave us a sneak more...peak into his plans for the day. The saints worked there way back into the game with some contencious umpiring decsions and by 2mins into the last they lead by 21 points. Only the bravest of Collingwood supports could've forseen what was about to happen. The mighty Collingwood train clicked over into overdrive and steamed home kicking 4-6 to nothing including an absolute ripper from Dale Thomas disallowed.
