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: 185 Comments: 0 Added: May 14, 08 By: collingwoodfcmagpies  | |  |  | | Forza Juve! 01:15FORZA JUVE!!!

The players wear black and white striped guernseys, similar more...to the colours of a magpie; thus their emblem, the magpie, and their motto "Floreat pica" ("Flourish Magpies!", or "May the Magpies Prosper!").
Collingwood has won 14 VFL/AFL premierships, behind Essendon and Carlton who have won 16 apiece. They hold the Record for most premierships won in a row, with four wins from 1927 to 1930, and remain the only club to have gone through a full Home and Away season undefeated (in 1929), despite a formidable challenge from arch rival Essendon in 2000 and Geelong in 2008, both sides winning 21 out of the 22 games in the Home and Away Season. Fittingly, Geelong was only beaten by Collingwood in the 2008 season.
The club traditionally represented the working class inner Melbourne suburb of Collingwood, Victoria, however it has since moved its training and administration base to the Gosch's Paddock and the Lexus Centre at Olympic Park in Melbourne. They moved their home games from their traditional suburban home ground, Victoria Park, to the much larger Melbourne Cricket Ground from 2000 onwards.
The Magpies are known for their passionate supporter base, usually referred to as "The Magpie Army". Traditional Melbourne suburban rivalries Essendon, Richmond and Carlton remain fierce. Collingwood has gained interstate rivals particular in Port Adelaide & Brisbane, but has retained the reputation in the national competition as the "team everybody loves to hate".
Historically and especially more recently, Collingwood games have attracted the largest attendances. In 1970, 121,696 spectators watched Collingwood and Carlton contest the Grand Final, the record attendance for a football game of any code in Australia. Collingwood has the largest membership of the 10 Victorian clubs. In the past, a large proportion of Collingwood supporters were Catholic and it was known as "The Catholic Club." in years gone by. The average crowd at Collingwood home games in 2007 was 54,898.
The noted Australian playwright David Williamson scripted The Club, a play inspired by the internal politics of Collingwood, although "the club" is never actually specified in the play or film. A film version was made in 1980 and features Collingwood players in speaking and non-speaking roles.

The Saints pegged the pies back towards the end of the qtr and took a slender lead into qtr time. The second was similar to the first, quick moving exciting football. The Saints got out to a 14 point lead before the skipper lead from the front and kicked one from outside fifty. Thomas finished off a great first half for himself by putting the pies in front on the bell. The third was controlled by the pies, it contained a now custom Leon Davis goal from the impossible and went through and finished with a dubious free/goal to Lockyer. The last qtr was again the pies, however the ability to kill off a side was absent again, Didak kicked a goal which put them 16 points clear with 15mins to go however they couldn't continue as the Saints pilled on the pressure. The pies held up in a tight one by 9 points. Best players for the winners include; Didak, Burns, Davis, Thomas and Bryan. less Tags: collingwood football club cfc pies magpies aussie australian footy 2008 season st kilda saints Category: Sports Views: 27 Comments: 0 Added: Jul 5, 08 By: collingwoodfcmagpies  | |  |  | | Highlights Collingwood Round 6 Anzac Day 2008 10:00Collingwood returned to the winners week this week with a pretty easy 73 point victory.

I had to do a fair bit of editing this week so sorry if I have missed your favourite highlight. They went with songs to the battle, they were young. Straight of limb, true of eyes, steady and aglow. They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted, They fell with their faces to the foe. They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

The only respite the tigers got was a dodgy 50 paid to hand them a goal. The second wasn't much better for the tigers as the magpies piled on the goals at one stage leading by 71-17. Towards the end of the half the foot came off the gas allowing the tigers to ger a few. The second half was pretty much goal for goal with Shaw and Thomas putting in contenders for mark of the round. Wood finished it off the game with a great mark and his first goal, the pies running out winners by 44 points. Best were Medhurst, Shaw, Thomas, Didak, Davis and Shaw.
