AFL teams are primarily from Australia, with franchises located in various states. The teams are based in the following states: Victoria (home to the majority of teams), New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia, and Tasmania. Additionally, there are teams based in the Northern Territory and the Australian Capital Territory.

Peter Hudson, the Australian rules footballer, kicked a total of 1,000 goals during his career in the Victorian Football League (VFL), which spanned from 1961 to 1979. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest full forwards in the history of the game. Hudson played primarily for the Hawthorn Football Club and is remembered for his remarkable goal-scoring ability.

In the AFL, the number 14 has been worn by several notable players, including legendary figures such as Lee Matthews and Tony Shaw. Matthews, who played for the Hawthorn Football Club, is often regarded as one of the greatest players in the league's history. Shaw, a key player for Collingwood, also had a significant impact on the game during his career. Other players have also donned the number, contributing to its legacy in the league.

One notable player who transitioned from the AFL (American Football League) to the CFL (Canadian Football League) is Joe Theismann. Though primarily known for his successful career in the NFL with the Washington Redskins, Theismann began his professional career in the CFL with the Ottawa Rough Riders before moving to the NFL. His journey highlights the cross-pollination of talent between these leagues, showcasing the versatility of players.

VfL Wolfsburg's primary rivals include VfL Bochum and Eintracht Braunschweig, with matches against these teams often referred to as regional derbies. The rivalry with Eintracht Braunschweig is particularly intense due to the geographical proximity and historical context. Additionally, Wolfsburg has competitive matchups against other Bundesliga teams such as Hannover 96, which further adds to their rivalry landscape.

There are 18 players from each team on the field at once in Australian Rules Football. This makes a total of 36 players on the field during a game.

1 goal is worth 6 points. So 10 goals is worth 60 points.

They have only ever won one: 1954.

I think they may have beaten Melbourne that year in the Grand Final. In those days it was the VFL competition, and "the Bulldogs" was Footscray Football Club.

You have to wait for the announcement of another series and then send in an application form to the broadcaster. It is a very careful selection process and a lot of people apply but you can't be selected if you don't enter! No new series have been announced yet - you will have to wait until 2009 to see whether they will make any more.

WEST COAST EAGLES joined the AFL in AUGUST 1986, and commenced playing in the expanded competition the next season - 1987.

If you mean how many does an NFL team have? They can have 2 or 3 players at any position.

Most teams have 3 QBs, 3 RBs, ect.

WR, most teams have at least 5.

The Carlton Football Club are the greatest AFL team in the world! Their record of the equal most premierships ever speaks for it's self. Sure in the 70's and 80's thay were a little arrogant, but that's what we love!

GO BLUES!

The game goes for 1hour and 20 min consisting of 4 quarters

However, if wanting to know the duration of watching a match, it also has 32 minutes of break time in between quarters, and has 'time on' for each quarter in which game stoppage (for such things as injuries, the ball going out of bounds, etc.) is added to game time. Quarters therefore average closer to 30 min and the game from start to finish will usually take about 2 hours and 30 min.

Denis Towers (Victoria); and Stephen Menzies (Tasmania)

AFL football has gone through many different changes and fashions over its quite long history. Among those, in many of its past decades, especially during the long period of kick-to-position and high mark football - that is, for at least the 70 years prior to about 1980, the impromptu, competitive, end-to-end football game was very keenly entered into by enthusiastic young footballers at any moment of the day - on daily basis.

In fact, it would be no exaggeration to say that it was far more popular as a competitive game than the real AFL game itself - 'Aussie rules football'. Every possible opportunity or 'excuse' was resorted to by young people in particular, to engage this activity. So popular was it in fact, that every possible moment available was resorted to this end - just to 'have a kick' - the end-to-end game.

The end to end game usually comprised 2 packs, where people competed, as individuals, for possession of a ball having been kicked in the group's direction from someone in the other pack- the players in each pack impartially kicking the ball back and forth between the 2 groups, each competitor applying the same rules in competing for the ball as in the formal AFL Aussie Rules football game itself. The significant difference being that once the possession of the ball was won, the person winning the ball was then free to kick it without interference to the pack at the other end.

So, the sole point of the activity for each individual was to win the ball for himself. His reward? ... that he 'got' to kick the football unimpeded to the group at the other end!

Despite its informal, impromptu nature, because of its ready accessibility, and therefore an almost daily engagement by the keen, the game also had its own sensational, outstanding and brilliant exponents.

As an experienced physical educator working in many varied organizations, both - professionally and non-professionally and living through this post-War period, I gained experience in nearly every state in Australia and had opportunity to engage and gauge many of the very best of players.

The best exponent I ever witnessed of end-to-end or kick-to-kick Australian footy was Denis Towers, of Melbourne Victoria. He was virtually unbeatable. Denis Towers' feats became the stuff of legend in his day wherever he went, even interstate, even from a young age. He was a true champion. He projected an almost miraculous style of play, regularly achieving what seemed 'impossible' - coming from apparently impossible positions on the ball. Also being tireless and comparatively tall, he could virtually do it all - whether in the air or on the ground, he was equally 'at home'. So dominant was he, in fact that virtually all other players competing at his end would gradually gravitate to the other end in order to get a kick! ... so that there would be something like 15 to 20 players at one end, all competing with one another for the ball, and virtually only Denis Towers at the other end! Even on occasions where two balls were introduced into the fray, he was still able to monopolize both balls.

Another popular and tirelessly brilliant exponent of this type of football was Stephen Menzies, from Tasmania. Though shorter than Towers, he was also, nevertheless, able to dominate play with a spirit of fearlessness, total involvement, fitness and commitment to the activity.

Coupled with intelligent approach to the ball and intelligent use of body, both of these players exhibited this same type of spirited, bodily commitment and total involvement of soul which allowed them absolute domination of the game in their respective times and places.
