The American Football League (AFL) operated from 1960 until 1969, at which time it merged with the NFL.

Actually, a grand total of eight different pro leagues used the name "American Football League" throughout the 20th century, but none of the others lasted more than a few seasons.

There doesn't seem to have been an opening ceremony, but the first meeting at the ground (the first cricket match) was on September 30, 1854.

Basically, the umpire bounces the ball in the middle of the field to start the game: the two ruckmen jump up in the air and try to tap the ball to a team mate. Once you get the ball, you can kick the ball to a team mate, just kick for distance (towards your goal), or you can handball it - which is like punching the ball to them. When a player catches/ "marks" the ball at least 15meters from where it was kicked, he may have a free kick.

The goals look like this illi (without the dots on the i) ... If you kick the ball between the 2 middle, bigger posts, it is "a goal" (worth 6 pts). If it goes between a big and a little post on either side, it worth one point.

The aim is to be on the highest scoring team at the end of the fourth/last quarter (each quarter lasts about 25 mins - 30mins).

You can also run, carrying the ball, but you have to bounce it every 15 meters. You can only pass it by punching it off the palm of your hand or by kicking it. You can kick it forward to another player or through the goalposts.

You can only tackle an opponent if he is holding the ball. If he is held, he must get rid of the ball by punching it or kicking it. You can only bump a player if he is within 5 meters of the ball.

OK ... Now you're ready!

The football team "Western Bulldogs" originated in Footscray. Footscray is a suburb of Melbourne. That's where the team is from.

It varies, each ground can have its own characteristics, much like baseball. There is no absolute set lengths or widths. Some are a little longer, some are wider. The MCG is 174 metres long by 149 metres wide fence to fence, including the area from the boundary line to the fence. (Apprx 160 x 141 actual playing size.)

Does the sun set in the west?

There is an AFL Premiership Every year!

The game was "invented" by various stages. Basically, it gradually evolved.

Tom Wills is credited with having 'drawn up' or written the first rules on paper.

Later Henry Harrison and others were involved in marked promotion of the game.

well, you need to play for a seniors local league, and be good enough to attract attention from the professional league scouts who will then submit you to the national draft to be picked up or bought by an AFL club. or individual clubs may pick you up to play for their reserves team and if you are good enough, eventually bumbp you up to senior level.

An Australian Football League (AFL) team consists of 22 players on the field during a match. Additionally, each team can have up to 4 interchange players, allowing for substitutions throughout the game. This brings the total squad size to a maximum of 26 players. However, only 22 players are actively participating in the game at any given time.
