[QUOTE="O'Rothlain, post: 113024"] A brief explanation of the rules and scoring structure... I understand that the game is all about getting the ball to a position to kick. As in they run and/or kick the ball to get it to a player who is lined up to take a shot at goal. I understand that the center posts are worth more points (3?) and that the outer post are worth fewer (1?). It's my understanding that there really isn't any offsides, but outside of that I don't understand what the players defensively or offensively are trying to do... I assume the defense is trying to tie up the offense...they can't fully tackle, but they try to wrap up and hinder movement? I don't understand what constitutes a turnover or what penalties are. Also, is there offensive strategy? I would assume so. Outside of that, who are the teams at the top? Also, I assume it's fully proffesional (the AFL), so what type of salaries do those guys pull? Also, underneath the AFL what is the system like...by that I mean when do kids start playing and what is the development like. [/QUOTE]
