Description:

This is the part of a series of short videos illustrating various aspects of Australian Rules Football. Tackling in Aussie Rules is quite difficult to do legally. You can only tackle a player in possession of the ball between their hips and shoulders and do so without pushing them in the back. Tackling above the shoulders is illegal for obvious reasons while below the hips is illegal as it could result in tripping a player. This has resulted in some nasty knee injuries and broken legs to players over the years. The tackled player must then dispose of the ball in a legal manner, ie with a handball or kick. If he does not do this then the tackling player receives a free kick. Also of interest is the smother the Carlton player applies to the opponents kick prior to the first tackle.

You can't be anything but happy watching Aussie Rules. I know that not all my vids are the ultimate examples of aspects of the game but they were all I had at the time. I wish I had the Earl Spalding shirtfront on Guy McKenna & the smother goal he scored (same game?).

hey to all you peopl that want to know about aussie rules dont look at these. If u want to look at long goals type anthony rocca, If u want to look at high marks and soccer goals type tony modra or chirs tarrant. And if u want to look at a flukish soccer goal type nick davis and click on amazing goal vs cartlon (not geelong).
