Australian Rules Football explained
This video is a brief explanation of the rules of Australian Rules Football or Aussie Rules as it is commonly called.
Due to the time constraints of YouTube I have only covered the major rules, however this should be enough to help you follow the game. You may need to pause the video occasionally to read the text.
I have also added numerous short videos to further illustrate aspects of the game that can be accessed in the video responses to this video.
One aspect I overlooked is the punch. This is a defensive technique often used in a marking contest by a player who is out of position in relation to his direct opponent. For example if a player is caught behind his opponent as the ball is coming towards them and it is clear the player in front will mark the ball, the player caught behind will try and punch the ball away to prevent the mark. Care needs to be taken to avoid high contact.
The game is played at a fast pace with players playing on at every available opportunity. This means that extremely high levels of fitness and strength are required with players regularly running 20km or more each game. Imagine running twenty 100 metre sprints over a two hour period while simultaneously trying to catch and control an oval ball while fending off attacks from 18 other players and you will begin to understand what is required of an Aussie Rules Footballer.
History:
Aussie Rules is the world's oldest football code being codified in Melbourne Australia in 1858 and was partly inspired by the aboriginal kicking/catching game called Marn Grook. This means the games origins are potentially tens of thousands of years old. The Melbourne Football Club is the worlds oldest being formed in 1859. The first night game was played in 1879.
Year first codified:
AUSTRALIAN FOOTBALL: 1858
ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL (SOCCER): 1863
RUGBY UNION: 1871
AMERICAN FOOTBALL: 1876
GAELIC FOOTBALL: 1885
RUGBY LEAGUE: 1895
Just remember: Aussie Rules is not a religion, it is far more important than that.
UPDATE: Fraser Gehrig (the 'G-Train') received a one week suspension for punching an opponent based on the video evidence.

Australian Rules Football - Collision.
This is part of a series of short videos illustrating various aspects of Australian Rules Football.
Keeping your eye on the ball in Aussie Rules can sometimes lead to heavy collisions. In this video we see Carlton's Matthew Lappin collide with Melbourne's Nathan Carroll during a marking contest. Both players were watching the ball prior to the collision and both were concussed. Fortunately neither suffered serious injury.

Australian Rules Football - Long goal.
This is the part of a series of short videos illustrating various aspects of Australian Rules Football.
Most AFL players can kick the ball 45 to 50 metres (49 to 54 yards) but there are a few who can regularly kick 50+ metres. Some AFL players who a capable of this have gone to the US to play American Football.
This video is a 60 metre (65 yard) goal by Carlton's Brendan Fevola. Despite Carlton coming last in 2006, Fevola was the competitions leading goal kicker winning the Coleman Medal with 84 for the season.

In this video we see Carlton's Nick Stevens kick a freakish goal during a mad scramble for the ball. This is one of the aspects I love about Aussie Rules, the total unpredictability of its game play.
