Collingwood made the finals for the second straight year and this time faced up against the Swans. After twice beating them through the season the pies were hell bent on repeating that result on the big   more...stage. The young magpies tackled and pressured Sydney into many mistakes, leading by 5 goals at QTR time. The Swans lifted through Goodes and Micky O to trail by only 4 points early in the 3rd. An amazing turn around then came over the game, with Rocca, Buckley, Pendlebury, Cloke and Rusling asserting their dominance over the game. The pies ran away with the victory by 38 points. They were happy to avenage a finals loss from last year and move on into the Semi Finals to take on the depleted WCE.  less

A second straight Friday night game for the pies this week against the dees and david nietz 300th game. The pies came out hard and played some magical footy in the first half with great goals from davis   more...and didak. Burns and Swan prolific early. An unfortunate incident involving BJ sparked a Melbourne comeback but to the pies credit they held on to record there 12 victory of 2007.  less

Collingwood bounced back against old foes Carlton. At half time they looked shaky but 5 2nd half goals from big forward Anthony Rocca changed the game. A consistant match from Travis Cloke who put in   more...4 of his own. Collingwood are back on track with a 24 point victory.  less

This 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

Footage from the Round 1 1985 Seven's Big League replay featuring North Melbourne and Collingwood. This was the first ever night match for premiership points.

Collingwood for the first time in season 2007 went into battle with its champion Nathan Buckley leading them out, in what was always going to be an emotional game for the champ he provided the first of   more...the games highlights when he pin pointed dale thomas in side 50. From then on it looked like Collingwoods night. Sydney faught back early in the second only to find O'bree and Pendles back in there best clearence form. Led by young FF Shaun Rusling (4 goals 3) the pies were way to good for the swans running out 5 goal winners. The pies now have a slim chance of making the top 4, but require a few results to go there way.

BOG for pies - Scott Pendlebury, Sean Rusling and Tyson Goldsack.  less
