Hawthorn beat St. Kilda for the 1971 Premiership flag.

It was only the club's second premiership - the first being in 1961, when it beat Footscray [now the Western Bulldogs] for the flag.

They are called Barca and Yellow submarines.

The Brisbane Lions were officially launched on 1 November 1996, joining the national competition in 1997.

As at 2012 - Ross Lyon

Aussie Rules football is played on cricket ovals so there are no standard dimensions for the field (usually called "ground" or "paddock").

The field should be an oval between 135 and 185 meters in length and 110 and 155 meters in width. (The Melbourne Cricket Ground is 160 meters long and 141 meters wide.) The boundaries are marked with a white line drawn a distance of a few meters from the stands.

If you include the club's time in the old VFL competition when known as 'Footscray Football Club', then the club has won only the solitary premiership in 1954.

Under the name of the Western Bulldogs and since being in the AFL, it has not won any further premierships.

Much bigger - yes.

Most of the AFL stadia/grounds measure approximately 175 yards by about 140 to 150 yards. The pitches of most other well-known 'football' games are around 100 to 110 yards in length. These latter pitches do have the advantage of being rectangular, as opposed to the Aussie grounds ovular shape, but with the much larger dimension, the rectangular shape of the soccer pitch nowhere near accounts for such a huge advantage in general dimension of the Australian football ground.

The player that kicks the most goals in a season is awarded the John Coleman medal. John Coleman was a full forward for Essendon during the 40ss and 50s

It was a record win of 119 points for Geelong over Port Adelaide, in front of a crowd of over 97,000 people.

Hawthorn Hawks

Carlton have won 16 Grand Finals.

Although Essendon have was 16 premierships, it has won only 14 grand finals. The premierships of 1897 and 1924 were decided by a round robin finals series and no grand final was played in those years.

For season 2011, as of 22/02/2011 there are 53,244 members of the Collingwood Football Club. The season is yet to start so this number will increase. The club's target for 2011 is 70,000 members.

No Team has. The AFL was born in 1990 and No Team has won 4 since then!! Brisbane has come close playing in 4 Grand finals but only winning 3 (In a row!)! Collingwood is the only Team to win 4 Premierships in a row but that was as a VFL Team! ("THE ONLY" Team worth barracking for, i.m.h.o!) Collingwood has "barrackers", the rest have fans or members! Check Our Club anthem and you'll see why!

No if you are playing for a soccer team then it's a no. If you did it would go against the health and safety act... but if you go out with your family then i guess it is ok, just don't get tackled...

There are officially two new tems into the competition commencing the 2011 season. One of these is from the Gold Coast in Queensland.

However, the very last one formed/applying for the competition in 2011 is the new team based in NSW.

Unions gained political influence

WCE first season the AFL was 1987 (actually it was still called the VFL in 1987 and renamed the AFL in 1990).

The club was actually formed in August of 1986, thus making the Eagles 14 years old in August 2010.

A stab punt is kicked with the same action as a tab kick/pass with the exception of the split second adjustment of kicking the ball just before instead of just after it hits the ground. This means the ball is kept in very tight to the body, in effect kicking the ball with the knee in front of the point of boot and ball contact. Of course you are leaning over the ball. The kick must be able to be accomplished running at full pace. The point of ball destination must be to the advantage of the player so he can run on to it and mark/catch it. You must estimate this and it must be in clear space preferable ahead of him. The tighter in you kick the ball the lower the pass will travel. The ball cannot be dropped vertically. In the old days, 1949, when muddy and variable surfaces were commonplace and the stab pass could not be kicked I invented the stab punt, An Australian Rules football Development. The following entry was in the Face to Face Exhibition at The Lilydale Museum, 13 October to 13 November 2011 Page 1

 Muddy Conditions Countered. Johnson was outstanding in the mud with clever turning and accurate disposal, in muddy, windy and rain swept conditions. -Ringwood Mail, August1951 
 In 1949 Mt Evelyn football ground's surface was uneven and often very muddy. Studying Jack Dyer's drop-punt, 14-year-old Mt Evelyn player Jim Johnson adapted it into a field pass in 1948. Then, at 15, Jim invented and used a low, fast punt kick known as a 'stab-punt pass'. 
Jim used both the field pass and the stab-punt pass at full pace. Because the ball was kicked before it touched the ground, and stayed low, it was accurate in mud and windy conditions. Journalists didn't know what to call Jim's techniques. Frank Casey wrote in The Post on 8 September 1960, 'Johnson sent his delightful little drop punt pass direct to Manfield'. The same day Davey Crocket reported in the Ringwood Mail, 'Johnson should write a book on stab kicking - he has found the lost art'. 
Both kicks are in constant use today in Australian Rules football as they are suitable for fast play-on football.

A goal is signaled when the goal umpire shows both of his hands in front of them and points.

3 Premierships

The question is actually invalid, because both Essendon and Carlton have won the most at 16 premierships each. Therefore, the next team will have won the third most AFL Premierships; and that is Collingwood. The Collingwood Magpies have won 15, but they have lost many more grand finals than they have won!

The minimum salary for an AFL player is somewhere around $30,000. The league average salary is around $75,000 with top players making in the neighborhood of $200,000 per year.
