Australian
Football Explained
Curious about footy?
Check out the PDF
document from the Portland Power coaching staff that explains
all you need to know.
Then, please
take a few minutes to watch the following video on YouTube. It
explains the basics of the game and with some footage of the AFL along
with a good voiceover and diagrams.
If any team member or footy fan has an account at the Movie Madness video store on SE
Belmont and access to a VCR, it should be noted that they have one (very
well-worn) copy of the Footy movie known as "The Club" from
around 1980.
It's
actually really good, even if it's a little light on the footy, and
heavier on the office politics of a fictional VFL team (using the
Collingwood office, stadium, and some of the 'Pies actual players at the
time). Good stuff.
