Pictorial Explainations

The Handball

Here we see Robert Harvey in the process of handballing the Football. Notice the Left Hand is Fisted, as per the rules defining a Leagal Handball.

The Tackle

Here we see Nicky Winmar being Taclked. This is a Legal Tackle because Nicky is in Possession of the Ball and the Tackle is being made in the Zone between the Shoulders and the Knees.

The Mark

One of the Great Features of Aussie Rules Football is "The Mark". A Mark is when a Player catches the Ball, after it has been disposed of by foot, (Kicked). The Ball must not be touched by any other player, other than the player Marking the ball, and the ball must reach the Marking Player on the full, (without touching the ground). A Player is deemed to have Marked the ball when he takes control of it.

Here we see Stuart Lowe using the opposition player as a step ladder to Climb for the Mark. Stuart Lowe is considered one of the best exponents of "The Mark".

A cry of "STUEWWEEEEEE" would erupt around the ground as a result of this Grab.
