Footy

IN SHORT EXPLANATORY: A footy is the diminutive used to indicate Australian Football (still baptized: Aussy rules).

It is halfway between RUGBY with XIII and paradoxically the TENNIS SHOE.

It is a permanent play of master key where the players launch out the balloon either by front kicks or by master keys to the hand in order to cross the ground and to mark between the unfavourable posts. The movement is permanent which requires athletic qualities near to the triathlétes.

RULES: The Australian football field is oval and makes 165 meters length on 135 meters broad. At each end, one finds four goal-posts: two which measures 6 meters and which is surrounded by two 3 meters height others. Each post is distant of 6,4 meters.

There are two manners of marking: between the two large posts for six points and between large and a small post for a point. To mark, it is necessary to send the balloon while typing inside with the foot or the hands. Tactiquement, it is not advised to run with the balloon as to Rugby. If a defender touches the balloon at the time when it is struck between the two large posts, the team marks only one point.

A team on the ground consists of eighteen players. There exist five lines of three players: backs, half-backs, centers, half-fronts and fronts. The three other players are mobile and follow the actions of play. A meeting of Australian football is composed four twenty minutes quarter-times each one.

All the blows are allowed when an adversary has the balloon between its hands safe to carry out ties. A player cannot be expelled. But, if it is made guilty of a fault considered to be serious, it can be suspended for several meetings.
